A brief introduction to Nanjing's historical and cultural heritage
Nanjing had a deep historical and cultural heritage. It was once the capital of the only unified dynasty in the south. Starting from Sun Wu during the Three Kingdoms period, it went through Wu, Eastern Jin, Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen (Six Dynasties). The Southern Tang during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period also had its capital here. After Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, he chose Nanjing as his capital. Nanjing was also the capital of the Southern Ming Dynasty and the Republic of China. Therefore, Nanjing was called the ancient capital of the ten dynasties. It could be called the four ancient capitals together with Xi'an, Luoyang and Beijing. Nanjing had long been the political and cultural center of the wealthiest Jiangnan area in the country. It was also the location of the Jiangnan Examination Hall. A splendid culture was born here. Many literati, scholars, beauties, and heroes left behind immortal poems and songs, such as landscape poems and literary theories of the Six Dynasties, Jinling nostalgic poems of the Tang and Song Dynasties, the swan songs of the Southern Tang Ci writers, operas and novels of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and so on. The calligraphy saint Wang and his son, the painting master Gu Kaizhi, and so on also left behind their legacy. In Nanjing, there were historical scenes everywhere, such as the Taoyedu of Confucius Temple. When people stood at the entrance of Wuyi Alley by the Qinhuai River, they would think of Liu Yuxi's "The wild grass and flowers beside the Rosefinch Bridge, the sunset at the entrance of Wuyi Alley". When they walked to Pukou, they would think of Zhu Ziqing's "Back View" and so on. Today, many historical sites and place names preserved in Nanjing are witnesses of its historical and cultural heritage.
Cultural Relics in Nanjing
Nanjing had many achievements and unique measures in the restoration of cultural relics. In the Cultural Protection Department of Nanjing City, staff used a variety of advanced techniques to restore cultural relics. For example, they used fiber microscopes, plasma high-efficiency acid removal machines, infrared cameras and other instruments to collect basic information of cultural relics, detect ph, color difference and other conditions, so as to assess the diseases of cultural relics and determine the level of restoration. They also used nitrogen and oxygen to disinfect and kill insects on cultural relics such as literature, ancient books, paintings and calligraphy. The staff were skilled in the restoration of paper cultural relics. If the cultural relic had debris falling off, the debris would be placed under a fiber microscope to observe its fiber structure to match the patch paper with similar texture; if the cultural relic was well preserved, the patch paper would be selected by measuring the thickness, color, curtain pattern and other indicators. At the same time, the Ministry of Culture and Cultural Protection was still accumulating big data on the fiber structure of paper cultural relics. There were bitter bamboo paper from Fenghua, Zhejiang Province, bamboo paper from Jiajiang, Sichuan Province, and other paper with different colors and texture to choose from. In order to better match the paper with the cultural relics, the restorer used high-precision instruments to confirm the color, flexibility, etc. of the paper, and also considered the impact of the aging degree of the paper on the restoration effect. In addition, the students from the School of Humanities and Museum of Nanjing University of the Arts also showed high professionalism in the restoration of cultural relics. In their graduation exhibition, it could be seen that cultural relics such as porcelain pieces, paintings, and ancient books were almost perfectly restored by the students. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
