The restoration of cultural relics starts from the live broadcast

Chapter 18 Forgot to have a mission!

Chuhe's face immediately became embarrassed, and he scratched his head: "No, no."

Old Chen smiled, and then gestured to Yang Shuo: "How about the book that was restored?"

Yang Shuo immediately replied: "There are four types of books restored by the predecessors. The first one is to frame the whole book and change the book jacket, the second is to just change the book jacket, and the third is to change the binding form. As for the fourth type, it is a simple partial repair, without changing the original appearance of the booklet."

Immediately, Yang Shuo put the four types of books on the table one by one.

Looking at the first type of "Yongle Dadian" booklet, Chu He found that the framed book leaves had turned dark gray, and the paper had also hardened obviously. Moreover, after the book block was cut, the color of the top and bottom of the book was the same as that of the bottom. It looks incongruous compared to other uncropped volumes.

"It's like changing a book, it's not repairing at all." Chuhe couldn't help complaining.

Tian Guyi also agreed with Chu He's complaints, "Indeed, all the raw materials of this book jacket have been changed. The previous rice paper cardboard was replaced with cardboard, and the original silk material was replaced with new cloth."

Everyone looked at the various "Yongle Dadian" books in front of them and shook their heads helplessly.

In the blink of an eye, three hours passed.

Mr. Chen also smiled wryly at the books on the table, and then he said to Zhang Yongjin: "Xiao Zhang, you guys just talk about your ideas. If this drags on, you won't have any ideas until next year."

Zhang Yongjin was also depressed: "If I had an idea, I wouldn't have come all the way to find you. I really have nothing to do."

Xu Jingchun looked at the time, and then said, "It's already twelve o'clock, why don't we go to dinner first, and we can discuss it at the dinner table."

Therefore, everyone also proposed to go to the staff canteen of the museum to have a meal first, and then discuss the plan.

Tian Guyi was also about to get up and leave, but he saw that Chu He had no intention of leaving. He looked at Chu He and asked: "Xiaohe, go eat first, don't waste time."

"I'm not hungry yet, Professor, let me look at this book again."

In fact, Chuhe was very excited. Although the book was indeed dilapidated, he was still very excited to see this national treasure-level ancient book and cultural relic with his own eyes.

Mr. Chen seemed to be very satisfied with Chuhe. He glanced at Tian Guyi and said cheerfully: "Xiaotian, young people, they are in good health. Let them go to work. Let's go eat first."

And Cheng Xiulan, who was leaving the gate, was just about to let Xue Lanqi help her, but found that Xue Lanqi was gone.

She turned around and found that Xue Lanqi was reading a book next to Chu He. Cheng Xiulan was about to get angry when she saw Mr. Chen looking over with stern eyes.

Her temper that was just about to explode immediately faded away, so she had no choice but to walk to the dining hall by herself.

Cheng Xiulan knew that Mr. Chen was deliberately protecting those two little calves.

Chuhe found that Xue Lanqi was also looking at the book next to him, and asked happily: "Do you also think this "Yongle Dadian" is very interesting?"

Xue Lanqi looked at Chuhe, was stunned for a moment, then said "um", nodded and smiled, "Mmm, it's really interesting."

"Actually, these books are more or less damaged, which I think is normal, but this one makes me feel weird." Chu He took out the bottom book and placed it on the table.

Xue Lanqi opened the volume of "Yongle Dadian", and found that the pages here had turned yellow and the corners of the book had been wrinkled, but other than that, she didn't see any difference.

She asked Chuhe suspiciously: "What's wrong with this booklet?"

"Look, along the red line, both the upper and lower ends have been cut off. This doesn't look like the repair method of the predecessors, nor does it look like it has been worn away due to age." Chu He looked at the booklet on the table. Somewhat puzzled.

Xue Lanqi shook her head. After being told by Chu He, she also became confused. She looked at Yang Shuo and asked him: "Yang Shuo, do you know?"

"How could I know?" Yang Shuo smiled awkwardly.

At this time, an old man with a broom at the door of the restoration room slowly explained: "Actually, this booklet was found in a village in the 80s."

This sentence immediately caught the attention of the three of them.

Chu He looked at the door, and a thin old man in the uniform of a museum employee came in with a broom. He said, "You don't want to eat, I have to clean up."

"Master, did you just say that you found this booklet from someone in the village?" Chu He hurriedly asked the old man.

The old man looked at the table, then lowered his head and continued to sweep the floor: "No mistake, at that time someone said that he had a booklet of "Yongle Dadian" at home and said that he would hand it over to the state, but this booklet was taken by him before that. Cousin has cut it."

"Why cut it?" Yang Shuo didn't understand.

"According to that person, it's because the paper of this booklet is so good that the upper part is wider and the shoe pattern is cut out, and the lower part is narrower so that cigarettes can be smoked." The old man said calmly.

After the old man finished speaking, Chuhe and the others were dumbfounded. Did you co-author such a precious cultural relic and use it as a shoe sample or a cigarette?

After learning that the old man knew so much about the past, Xue Lanqi was very curious, and asked the old man: "Grandpa, do you work here?"

"It's true that I work here." The old man grinned and raised the broom in his hand: "But I just sweep the floor."

"Wow, Uncle Guo, you all know this. I often sort out the information on "Yongle Dadian" but I haven't found the history of this booklet." Yang Shuo was obviously familiar with the old man, and he immediately started chatting.

Uncle Guo pointed to the small cabinet in the back: "There are many records of people voluntarily donating cultural relics there. It's because you didn't look for it seriously. What's more, the tiles on the roof were all built by me. What do I have?" I don’t know the reason.”

When Yang Shuo heard this, he immediately smiled embarrassedly, and said that he would search for information immediately and supplement the records in this booklet.

Chu He saw that Uncle Guo seemed to know "Yongle Dadian" very well, and he had not specifically looked for relevant information before, so he wanted to ask Uncle Guo: "Uncle Guo, can you tell us about these books? What's the matter?"

"Actually, the books you are looking at are all copies from the Jiajing period, and the original copies from the Ming Dynasty's Yongle period have long since disappeared." Uncle Guo said with emotion: "Actually, I don't understand those, but I just know that in these years, the country In order to collect all these copies of books, I went abroad and searched among the people, and I spent a lot of effort."

"So the books you see now are also re-recorded during the Jiajing period, not the original appearance. Alas, it's a pity that the original copy has never been seen in the world, and I don't know where it went."

Uncle Guo's words also made Chu He deeply moved.

"If we can see the original original version of "Yongle Dadian", maybe we will have a way to restore it."

After Chu He sighed with emotion, he suddenly thought of something!

His unfinished business!That unclaimed reward!

Could that reward help me see the original copy of "Yongle Dadian"? !
