Zhejiang Silk Repair Domestic Leading Repair Of Hundreds Of Precious Fabrics

During the Beijing Olympic Games, in the central area of the National Olympic Park, with the concept of "science and technology Olympics", "the miraculous tiengong - Ancient Chinese inventions and cultural relics exhibition", a number of state-level silk fabrics from the spring and Autumn period to the Tang Dynasty were breathtaking at home and abroad.

It is proud that these precious cultural relics have been released with the help of the first-rate silk repair technology of our Chinese silk museum.

Recently, the State Administration of cultural heritage awarded the first class mobile cultural relics design qualification and the first class mobile cultural relic qualification of the Chinese Silk Museum, which means that the silk repair technology of the China Silk Museum has been ahead of the country.

Chinese silk has a long history, and valuable ancient silk fabrics are often found in cultural relics unearthed from all over the country.

Due to various physical and chemical changes, many silk fabrics are out of place when they are unearthed.

The repair of silk is a very complicated technology. For a long time, domestic museums always rely on the strength of foreign silk repair experts.

8 years ago, the China Silk Museum was approved by the State Administration of cultural heritage, and established the China Textile identification and protection center. In just a few years, it continuously explored, studied and innovated silk protection and restoration technology, and successfully repaired over 100 pieces of textiles commissioned by more than 10 cultural and cultural units throughout the country.

4 years ago, researchers at "Silk Bo" spent more than 6 months to repair the animal and tree striped robes successfully in the Han and Jin Dynasties.

Zhao Feng, deputy director of the "Silk blob", told the reporter: "this robe is a rare treasure excavated in the 15 Tomb of Xinjiang barracks site in 1995.

Because of the lack of advanced repair technology, this treasure has been worn on the corpse of the tomb owner and has not been moved.

Until 4 years ago, the Xinjiang Institute of archaeology invited us to repair it. "

It is understood that this robe, the use of highly technical two-tier organization, unearthed behind the large area has rotted, and closely linked to the body.

The first problem for the repair team is to separate the robe from the corpse.

In order to prevent the robe from being shreds to pieces, the researchers analyzed the surrounding environment and the texture of the robe. The steam and humidification method was used to make the robe and the corpse easier to separate. After the robe was stripped, the needlework reinforcement method was used to reinforce it.

Ge Yunfei, who fought against the British aggressors in the Opium War, wore camps at the time of sacrifice, and has never been scientifically protected and repaired for over 100 years.

There are a lot of brass nail on the top. They react with chlorine and water vapor in the atmosphere and form a kind of harmful green powdery rust on the surface.

Considering that this cultural relic is made up of many kinds of materials, such as silk, hemp and so on, in order to avoid further rust during cleaning, researchers abandoned the traditional chemical rust removing method, but used mechanical rust removal method to take a set of metalworking tools and constantly hammer on the surface of copper.

Every repair of silk is an innovation, because the preservation environment, material and process of each piece are different.

Today, "Silk Bo" and Zhejiang Sci-Tech University and Zhejiang museum began in the fragile silk reinforcement, textile repair materials and plant dye analysis and identification of the three major areas of new research, and made some breakthroughs.
