A Day in the Life of an Old Cultural Relics Worker
Take the workers who repaired cultural relics in the Forbidden City as an example. They went to work at eight in the morning and got off work at five. The main job was to repair cultural relics, which required superb skills and professional knowledge. Day after day, they were engaged in similar work. For example, the calligraphy and painting restorers would repair ancient paintings, and the wood restorers would deal with Buddha statues and wooden carvings. They dealt with paste, ink, lime, etc. every day. The female restorers in the textile team could not put on makeup, spray perfume, or do nails to prevent damage to the fragile cultural relics. Wang Xinyi, a cultural preservation worker at the Hanguangmen Museum of the Tang Dynasty's Imperial City Wall in Xi'an, recorded the temperature and humidity of the ruins twice a day. After recording, he brought the data back to the office to sort out and analyze it. He cooperated with the electronic data in the museum and paid close attention to the subtle changes in the ruins in the museum. Once there were changes, he would take corresponding protective measures immediately. Generally speaking, the days of old cultural relics workers were often regular. They could endure loneliness in their respective positions, and they were persistent in their work content. They protected cultural relics by repeating seemingly boring work.

The cultural relics are treated as old
There were many ways to make relics old. There was a cruel method to make jade artifacts. It was to force jade artifacts into the body of a live sheep. Three years later, the sheep would be killed and the jade artifacts would be sold at a high price as old goods. For old porcelain, the first thing to do was to remove the "thieving light" on the surface of the new porcelain. It could be done by brushing a layer of corrosive acid on the porcelain. This process was called "biting". In addition to removing the "thieving light," the acid could also cause small cracks on the surface of the porcelain that were similar to natural cracks. After that, put the "bitten" porcelain into the pot to boil. In the pot, add tea leaves, salt, soda, ink, dye, potassium Permanganate and other condiments.(The type, amount, and length of cooking depended on the texture and age of the porcelain.) The process of letting the color of the condiments seep into the cracks was called "feeding". Some porcelain needed to be "fed" many times to achieve the desired effect. After these processes, the small pieces on the surface of the porcelain would have a permanent color, and the white parts would also turn yellow. There were also some porcelain that were not cooked after being "bitten". Instead, they were buried in the soil or used soil mixed with lead powder, bronze rust powder, rust powder, and other condiments to paste the porcelain inside and outside. After being buried or pasted for a long time, these condiments in the soil would seep into the small cracks on the surface of the porcelain. In terms of making old bronze or bronze mirrors, the forgers would modify the old bronze mirrors, such as cutting the broken or damaged patterns on the edge and outer area of the bronze mirror along the damaged parts, then polishing and making them old. They would also dig a hole in the new bronze mirror and embed the old bronze mirror to make them old. The purpose of antiques was mostly to make fake ones for profit. The antique market was mixed with real and fake antiques, so they needed to be careful when collecting them. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
