Mounting and Restoration Techniques (Ancient Book Restoration Techniques)

Restoration of ancient books is a special skill. In the long course of history, fragile ancient books have been scattered and transferred, and destroyed by natural disasters and wars. Most of them are riddled with holes and in tatters. "Repairing the old as it is" and turning decay into magic are important links in protecting the integrity of ancient books from past dynasties. Therefore, people from all walks of life praise this skill as the "life-saving soup" of ancient books. To engage in the restoration of ancient books, one must not only be familiar with the form and version of books from various dynasties, but also understand the paper, book cover and binding style of each dynasty, and have skilled skills. Repairing an ancient book often requires more than a dozen or even dozens of processes, and each move is extremely sophisticated, and the requirements for the personnel engaged in the restoration of ancient books are even more demanding. The National Library of China is a comprehensive research library, the national general library, and the national bibliographic center. Its collection can be traced back to the Southern Song Dynasty, and the library has many precious ancient books. The National Library has a long history of document restoration work, and document restoration personnel were equipped as early as the Beijing Library period. In 1949, in order to repair the Zhaocheng Golden Collection, a national treasure that had just been collected by the Peking Library, a restoration team of 8 technicians was established with the approval of the then Military Control Commission, which is the predecessor of today's National Library Restoration Group. In 1953, the "Book Restoration Group" was officially established. Since then, the restoration of ancient books has embarked on a professional and regular development path as a full-time business of the library. In 2001, the "Book Restoration Group" was renamed the "Rare Books and Special Collections Restoration Group". The National Library's document restoration work has achieved relatively brilliant results in history. The restored national treasure-level precious documents include the Zhaocheng Golden Collection, the Yongle Encyclopedia, the Western Xia documents, some Dunhuang manuscripts and rare books from the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and the Qing Dynasty's "Fuyi Complete Book". It can be said that it is with the unremitting efforts of generations of National Library book repairers that the charm of each national treasure in the collection can be re-presented to the world. Beijing Yiyatang is a century-old brand famous for mounting and restoring ancient books, steles, calligraphy and paintings. It was opened during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, and the owner was Ding Mengsong. In the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, Yiyatang was extremely famous in Beijing for its mounting skills. At that time, many mounting masters in Beijing came from Yiyatang. In 1958, Yiyatang was owned by the China Bookstore, and three generations of mounting inheritors have worked hard here to repair more than 300,000 damaged and precious ancient books, including many rare and unique ones. At present, the situation of ancient book protection is very severe. At present, there are more than 10 million ancient books that need to be repaired in libraries, museums, and cultural relics management units across the country. However, according to statistics, there are less than 100 ancient book restoration talents in libraries across the country. In addition to the serious shortage of talents, there are also problems such as low comprehensive quality, low professional titles, and old age. Protecting the ancient book restoration skills is urgent.

Cangzhou Iron Lion

The Iron Lion of Cangzhou is located in the southeastern suburb of Cangzhou City, Hebei Province, 16 kilometers away from the city. It was cast in the third year of Guangshun in the Later Zhou Dynasty (953 AD). It is called "Zhenhaihou" by the people. It is said to be built to prevent tsunamis and floods. It is the oldest and largest cast iron lion in my country. The Iron Lion of Cangzhou is located in front of the former Kaiyuan Temple. It is said to be Manjusri Bodhisattva sitting on a lotus with a huge basin on its back. The lion's body faces south, its head faces southwest, its two left feet are in front, and its two right feet are behind, in a forward position. According to the measurement of Beijing University of Science and Technology in April 2001, the Iron Lion is 6.264 meters long, 2.981 meters wide, 5.47 meters high, and weighs about 32 tons. In March 1961, the State Council listed it as the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units. Since the 1950s, the Iron Lion has undergone four repairs. The new Iron Lion of Cangzhou in 2011 is located in Lion City Park in Cangzhou City. Its volume is 1.3 times that of the original Iron Lion. According to an on-site survey conducted by the Chinese Academy of Cultural Heritage in 2007, the iron lion has 25 major cracks. Except for three on the head and neck, the remaining 22 are on the legs. Currently, the limbs of the iron lion are loose and severely rusted, and it still needs to rely on a support to stand.

Botou Mosque

Botou Mosque covers an area of 11,200 square meters, with nearly 200 houses and a construction area of 2,919.78 square meters. Botou Mosque is the main place for normal ethnic and religious activities of the Hui Muslim people in Botou, and it is also a window for Botou City's foreign cultural exchanges. Especially since the 2004 TV series "National Hero Ma Benzhai" was filmed in Botou Mosque, it reproduced the growth experience of the martyr Ma Benzhai in Botou Mosque during his youth, and also reproduced the battle process of Ma Benzhai using this place as his main base. Botou Mosque sits west and faces east. The main gate is three rooms wide and ten meters high. It has a single-eaved hip roof, an ancient shed, a glazed tile roof, red doors and copper decorations, and the door is inscribed with "Hua Zhao Wuji" in regular script, and "Mosque" is hung in black and gold above. There is a side door on each side, followed by blue bricks and tiles, carved walls, and the facade is quite imposing. Botou Mosque is located at the southern end of Qingzhen Street in Botou City, 40 kilometers north of Cangzhou City, and 5 kilometers west of the "Nanpi" exit of the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway. It was first built in the second year of the Yongle reign of the Ming Dynasty (1404 AD), and was rebuilt during the Jiajing reign (1521-1567) and Wanli reign (1572-1620 AD) of the Ming Dynasty. It was expanded during the Chongzhen reign, and repaired to varying degrees during the Jiaqing, Xianfeng, Guangxu and Republic of China reigns of the Qing Dynasty. It is said that in the late Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen brought a large amount of wood from the south to the north via the canal to repair the Jinluan Palace. When the ship passed Fengjiakou in Botou, Li Zicheng had already led the peasant uprising army to capture Beijing. At that time, the Hui officials in Botou, the Imperial Censor Shi Sanwei and the Ministry of Rites Yu Jideng, used this batch of wood to repair the mosque.

Beijing Xuannan Cultural Museum

The predecessor was Changchun Temple, the "first temple in the capital". In 2002, the Xuanwu District Government and the Cultural Relics Bureau began to thoroughly renovate Changchun Temple. In addition to preserving the original architectural pattern, it was built into a cultural museum that is both a cultural relic and has outdoor and indoor exhibition areas. It was opened to the public in 2005. The museum vividly displays cultural content through the restoration and reproduction of three-dimensional cultural relics and typical scenes, breaking the traditional flat exhibition mode dominated by pictures and materials. The museum is themed on Xuannan culture and has 8 exhibition halls: "Long-lasting Xuannan", "Xuannan Scholars' Hometown", "Heroic Footprints", "Liyuan Scenic Spots", "South City Paradise", "Hundred Years of Business", "National Unity", and "Xuannan Cultural Protection and Development Achievements". Changchun Temple was built in the 20th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1592). It was built by Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty for his biological mother, Empress Dowager Xiaoding Li, to support Master Shuizhai. Emperor Wanli named it "Changchun", which means health and longevity, and it was sometimes called "the first temple in the capital". After the middle of the Qing Dynasty, Changchun Temple began to decline. In 2002, the Xuanwu District Government formulated and implemented a protection plan for Changchun Temple, investing nearly 200 million yuan. In 2005, Changchun Temple-Beijing Xuannan Cultural Museum was opened to the public, and the Changchun Temple scenic area became a beautiful landscape showing the style of Beijing's ancient capital.
