"Then let me tell you about the situation of the painted sculptures in the cave." It is not her style to give up when faced with difficulties. As for the assistant, it depends on whether he has the ability to convince her. She is too lazy to talk and go straight to the point.

theme.

"The painted sculpture in Cave No. 0 is a Bodhisattva statue. Judging from the general posture, it is a Banjia Bodhisattva, that is, a sitting posture with one leg crossed and one leg hanging down. However, because the limbs are seriously damaged and missing, further confirmation is needed. The head and facial features are damaged.

, the hair bun is damaged, but the statue has plump muscles and beautiful bones. It looks similar to the ladies of the Tang Dynasty, so it should be a work of the Tang Dynasty. There are only a few marks left on the decoration, the necklace, the armband, the shawl, and the lotus seat are missing. Need to be copied before copying.

To complete the work of recalculating the height of the ruler and even the size of the lotus petals, we must also consider the type of material and pigment, because the pigments on the statue have faded, become seriously discolored, and have cracks on the surface."

Jiang Zhi didn't expect that she could speak in such detail, and there was a bit of surprise in his eyes. He smiled and said, "Okay, there are two brushes."

"Have you never eaten pork and seen a pig running?" Sheng Tang muttered.

"Then I'll let you eat pork again."

Um?

Sheng Tang was startled and stared at Jiang Zhi alertly. Jiang Zhi accepted her gaze openly and calmly.

Sheng Tang was so calm that she felt unsure for the first time, "You...don't want me to do copying and restoration, right?"

Everyone else also looked at Jiang Zhi.

Jiang Zhi smiled, and his tone was kind and harmless, "You have already taken the initiative to resign, so I can't refuse. After all, this is your first wish after becoming my assistant."

"Why did I take the initiative—"

"Don't be afraid if you encounter problems, you can always ask me for advice." Jiang Zhi interrupted her.

Is this a question of asking for advice or not?

Shen Yao couldn't help but say, "Dr. Jiang, Tangtang is just copying the current situation and finished product of the grotto, not restoring it. After all, she is not a restorer, and the workload is too much for her."

Sheng Tang had never been so grateful to Shen Yao, and immediately added, "Yes, what you want me to do is the same type of work as what I usually do. If it is within the scope of my responsibilities, it doesn't matter if the workload is heavy.

."

The task Jiang Zhi gave her was completely beyond her past work scope and experience. To put it bluntly, the works she copied in Dunhuang in the past two years were all works that had been restored by restorers, or were works that were determined to be irreparable.

.

The beauty of Dunhuang lies in inheritance, but how to inherit the exquisite contents embedded in the stone walls? The murals and sculptures in the grottoes bear the weight of time every day and every second. Although there are restorers working day and night, after all, only a few do this.

, many grottoes in China still face the regret that no one has restored them, and they can only let time wear away their marks.

Therefore, in order to preserve the life of Chinese treasures, in addition to restoration, copying and copying are the best ways.

Sheng Tang was confident that her skills were very high among the many copyists, but Jiang Zhi was bolder and asked her to do the restoration work as well.

"Isn't the later restoration of the portrait on the northwest wall of Cave 130 your masterpiece?" Jiang Zhi disagreed.

Sheng Tang choked for a moment, not expecting that he would know about it, but then he thought that he might know it through Hu Xiangsheng.

"It's true that I did it, but the mural in the corner is blurry and no longer suitable for restoration, so the later restoration pictures are just for reference." She had to clarify this matter first, "You have to base it on me now.

Can I use the restoration picture to repair it and make it the same?”
