The British Museum repairs ancient paintings and calligraphy with traditional Chinese methods

China is an ancient cultural country with a history of more than 5,000 years. It has been passed down through a rich cultural heritage. It collects valuable Chinese cultural relics from all over the world. The British Museum is one of them. The British Museum houses many Chinese cultural relics, especially the extremely important "Mogao Grottoes" Dunhuang paintings. These paintings are mostly cultural fines and have great influence in the international arena. They are precious materials that are extremely important for scholars to do research in the world.

The art of decoration and restoration has a long history and distinctive national characteristics in China. The decoration and restoration forms have undergone a long history. Many ancient Chinese paintings and paintings are painted on transcripts and papers. But no matter which kind, the mounting inserts are mostly made of enamel and tweezers to match the background color of the heart. The color of the single color yawen calms the heart, and the paper and the backing paper are used. It is a cotton single-small paper. The material used is relatively thin, and the paste used is very thin. After painting, it is softer to roll up.

An example of repairing with traditional Chinese methods (1):

In 2009, the paper was decorated with flowers and papers by the famous painter of the Qing Dynasty during the period from 1709 to 1749. There are many defects in this painting, especially in the place where the stone is green, the paper has been rotted, and the heart is broken everywhere. Because the painting uses cooked paper, it is easy to break. Because the painting is very big and broken, check the color on the heart of the painting before repairing to see if there is any discoloration. Use a cotton ball to rub a little water and brush it on various colors. As a result, the stone green and the stone green color are a little bit off. So use a brush to paint the easy-to-drop color, and then glue the glue. After the color is firm, then look at the texture of the heart. And grain. Then find the same texture of the paper, first dye the paper with raw soy milk, wait for the dry, dye the color to make the paper. However, the paper support of the paper must be lighter than the background color of the painting heart. After the preparation work is completed, the old costume can be cut.

禹之鼎画

Start to draw the heart, first put the painting on the table, the picture is up, because this painting is a bit easy to drop color, although the glue is fixed, for insurance, use a little warm water. After slamming it with a row of pens, gently sprinkle it up, then use a towel to gently blot the water. The painting heart is very dirty, washed a total of 4 times, after the heart is washed, put it on top with clean paper, roll it up, wipe the table clean, and then spray the pre-cut Japanese Rayon paper with water. Brush flat on the table, Rayon paper must be larger than the painting heart, then open the painting, turn the heart over, brush it on the Rayon paper, carefully remove the covered paper and the paper from a small piece. . Because the painting was big and broken, the paper was difficult to uncover, and it was uncovered intermittently for three days.

After uncovering it, use the stylus on the back of the painting to put the color paper on it, and then fill the hole with a white rice paper at the hole. After making up, take the Rayon paper together with the painting heart, turn it over, and then gently remove the Rayon paper from the painting. Then use a clean brush on each hole, rinse the water, wash the paste, then brush the heart on the paper, paste the paste on the outside of the heart, and stick it on the board. After the dry up, come down, cut around, use a knife to pick and clean on the edge of each hole, and put the cut color paper on the four sides and then add a very cotton paper to reinforce the heart. After waiting for the dry, put the soymilk on each hole and spray the water to draw the heart, put the heart on the board again, and draw the heart to dry it. In the incomplete area, use a variety of different Chinese mineral pigments according to the color and design, adjust the color, carefully all the strokes, sometimes all 7 to 8 times, the color is almost exactly the same as the original.

After the painting is done, I am going to design the inlay because the painting is very long and the original book hall is 3 meters long. It is made of dark enamel, but the color must be light. Through the heart of painting, such a pure color can bring out the heart of the painting. Since the painting was broken everywhere, there were countless strips attached to the back, and then two layers of backing paper were attached. After the painting was overlaid, the board was attached and the painting was posted on the board for several months. This vertical axis was exhibited at the China Painting Exhibition held at the British Museum in 2010.

Cases repaired by traditional Chinese methods (2):

"Yao Chi Xian Drama Picture" is a figure of Eight Immortals, which is the work of Zhang Wei, a painter of the Ming Dynasty. The original painting of this painting is a vertical axis, but the previous completion is not ideal. There are a lot of broken creases and vacancies in the enamel. The color used to repair the painting is too deep, the texture is different from the original painting and the latitude and longitude The silk has replenishment and correctness, so the size of the heart is clearly visible. The previous repair did not completely remove the back paper, which affected the color of the paper, which seriously affected the appreciation effect. Therefore, the British Museum decided to use it. Relics are re-installed to restore the original appearance of the work.

Because the heart of this painting was very broken everywhere, before the restoration, Mr. Qiu found the old patch that was collected in the same latitude and longitude in the same period. It was no problem to check the color on the heart of the painting, and then dyed the paper. The color of the paper of the stencil should be almost as deep as the color of the painting, and it should not be light. If the paper is lighter than the painting, it will be inconspicuous. When everything is ready, you can cut off the original inserts and start making hearts. Wash the heart three times first, wash the heart, and use the pre-treated stone cauliflower juice and starch paste to reconcile the paste on the water-oil paper, one by one on the front of the painting heart. Then put the pre-supported rice paper on the water-oil paper. Water-oil paper and rice paper should be bigger than the painting heart, then the painting should be cleaned up, and then the painting should be turned over and flattened on the painting platform. Then, the back paper and the paper support were uncovered. This painting was particularly difficult to expose and was completed in a week. Wash the original old pulp, the original paste is very thick, so it is difficult to expose. This is safe for both transcripts and paintings.

After painting the heart, you can scrape the hole, use a clean slurry to brush the brush on the hole, then fill the hole in the hole, then brush a layer of water, wait for the dry, use a horseshoe knife or a steel knife Scrape off the excess patch and fill the hole. Put the painting heart from the table and cut it to the sides, and put the pre-dyed color paper and Japanese Mino paper together and hold it on the heart. Then turn over the painting, slowly peel off the water on the picture and the water on the rice paper, and slowly wipe off the paste on the picture with your fingers. After sticking to the two layers of rice paper and sticking it to the board, you can get the full color. Through such a repair operation process, the seamless effect can be achieved. After the painting is done, I will repair the broken book and then design the inlay according to the color and size of the painting. This painting is a long and wide painting in Dazhongtang. The inserts are dyed with rice paper and then cut into layers. The color used is very quiet, so I put the heart out of it. Because there are many breaks in the painting heart, there are countless slivers on the back and then two layers of backing paper are placed. After the painting is covered, it is taken from the table and placed on the felt and dried. The next day, the water is wet. Flat on the table, slap on the board, because the old picture is very contractible, it is better to stick it on the board for a longer time, and it is easy to level.

As a cultural restoration worker, he is serious about treating all kinds of precious cultural relics, and he has to work hard to make a "rejuvenation" of the paintings, and to be followed by others in the world and passed down from generation to generation.
