225 Chapter 225
In less than ten minutes, all the staff of the institute pretended to pass by the reception room to say hello to Yuan Jin, calling them all little fairies.
The master and apprentice were visited like monkeys. Yuan Jin couldn't restrain his curiosity and stopped the staff who brought them snacks. He asked suspiciously, "There is something wrong with you today. Did Director Li arrange for you to do this?"
Li Lou is the director of the Bronze Research Office of the institute, the big brother in the institute, and the most popular leader in the institute.
"It was not arranged by Director Li. Now you are not only the little fairy in our archaeological community, but also the little fairy among all netizens who like traditional culture." The staff member smiled a little embarrassedly, "The database you gave to the Archeology Department made many people think
Those who want to understand archeology and history and culture will benefit a lot. Little Fairy is the nickname everyone gives you."
Yuan Jin opened his mouth in embarrassment, "You can call me whatever you want."
Cai Tiancheng and Li Lou have been calling her "Classmate Xiao Wen" for so many years, and she is very used to it.
"Please wait a moment, Director Li will be out soon." The staff member smiled and exited.
"Fairies are not as generous as you." The old man deliberately teased her, "I should call you Bodhisattva."
The database was completed after five years of construction, with a total investment of nearly 4 billion. The five-year salary of more than 2,000 staff members cost more than one billion. Historical documents and materials in all libraries across the country were included in it, and various fees were paid.
Hundreds of millions.
There are also intangible cultural heritage techniques and video materials preserved, which also cost a lot of money. The investment is so large that people who don’t know about it can’t even imagine it.
"I'd better be a human being." Yuan Jin couldn't help laughing, "I have to support you in your old age."
The old man hummed and couldn't help but laugh.
Yuan Jin picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and continued to read the information in the database. The project in Li Lou's hands was started, shelved and started again. After seven years of back and forth, it was finally concluded. As the project leader, he could not escape from it.
It's normal to open your body.
Cai Tiancheng has been responsible for the project for about the same period as Li Lou. He is now working on the third project, and he has just produced the results.
In fact, the old man had asked Li Lou and Cai Tiancheng to take a look at the 88 drawings in his hand very early on. They had been doing archaeological work for many years, but they both said they had never seen them before.
During the data entry into the archaeological database, most of the archaeological data had to be reviewed by Yuan Jin, and no similar objects appeared among them.
The master and apprentice have been worrying about these drawings a lot in the past few years.
Now that they could see the real thing immediately, the two of them became calmer.
About 20 minutes later, Li Lou came out of the laboratory and called the staff to come over and help the old man put on his lab coat.
After Yuan Jin finished dressing himself, he went over to help.
"They are all fragments, so broken that it is unimaginable." Li Lou had a bright smile on his face and said in a relaxed tone, "It's worth noting that I spent several years numbering these fragments and trying to repair them."
"It's a good thing if there are results. Anyway, it's better if an old project is closed." Yuan Jin helped the old man button up and deliberately joked, "This time, the distance between you and junior brother is only one project."
Li Lou smiled and nodded.
There were more than 4,000 bronze fragments unearthed from the tomb pit, which looked like a pile of rubble that had been deliberately trampled.
He used three-dimensional simulation technology to simulate it several times, but the results were not particularly satisfactory, and then he started to put it together purely by hand.
Later, when he saw the drawings drawn by Yuan Jin, he had a general idea in his mind and started to tinker with it.
However, his mind was imprisoned by Mr. Leng's skills, and he never thought that the same drawing could be made with any technique.
The project had been suspended for several years. When I heard that the old man had made a physical object based on the drawings, he was ready to make a move. After seeing it, he shamelessly borrowed the thing back to observe.
This time, his mind was completely opened up, and he quickly found relevant records in historical materials. With a clear direction, he began to check more historical materials, looking for more supporting evidence, and finally proved that this thing came from the Song Dynasty.
Antiquities collector.
The identity of the owner of the tomb pit was also determined through other excavated cultural relic fragments.
As soon as his paper was published, the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau couldn't wait to report the results.
When everything was ready, Li Lou called his assistant to open the door, and he and Yuan Jin accompanied the old man into the research room.
The broken bronze Crane and Deer Tongchun was restored and turned into a lamp. The whole object is 75 centimeters high and about 60 centimeters wide. The crane flutters its wings on the lamp hanging on the antlers, and the feathers on the wings are lifelike and atmospheric.
Gorgeous.
It has a more royal look than the finished product made by filigree craftsmanship.
Yuan Jin and the old man looked at it carefully for a while, then turned back and asked Li Lou, "Are you sure this cultural relic is an official imitation of the Song Dynasty and not a stolen antiquity?"
"It's not confirmed yet. The bronze has just been restored, and the inscriptions on it are very blurry and require further study." Li Lou laughed again, "This is the most unique bronze lamp that has been discovered so far."
The feather patterns on the crane body are clear, and the layers of feathers can be clearly seen on the outstretched wings, and the skin patterns on the claws are extremely delicate. Although the techniques used are not as complicated as those of Zeng Hou Yizun Pan, they are more delicate and spectacular than Changxin Palace Lanterns.
"The finished product that my master and I copied is still very different from the real thing." Yuan Jin tilted his head and looked at the top of the lamp mouth, and couldn't help but admire, "The wisdom of the ancients is really amazing."
Both legs of the crane are smoke vents.
The lights are bright, cranes and deer spring together. This cultural relic may really be an ancient relic that was stolen.
Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty set up the Bureau of Etiquette to "order the world's ancient artifacts", which led to the robbing of ancient tombs, and a large number of unearthed antiquities flowed into the public. Such a gorgeous and meaningful bronze lamp was buried in a collector's tomb.
Reasonableness.
"Perhaps they used the same pattern, but just changed the technique." Li Lou raised his finger and pointed at the crane's tail, smiling, "The biggest difference between bronze and filigree engraving is the overall structure. These feathers are
Formed in one go, without any trace of welding.”
The craftsmen who cast the molds are extremely skilled.
"Indeed." Yuan Jin looked at his hand for a while, thinking that there were more than 80 drawings, and a new idea came to his mind.
If the patterns on the drawings were made using another technique and the ideas expanded, would there be any new discoveries?
Many of the tomb pits that have been excavated have mostly large tombs with well-preserved cultural relics, and the identities of the tomb owners are extraordinary. Most of them are unnamed tombs. After thousands of years, the holes have been robbed all over, leaving only fragments of cultural relics.
These fragments need to be repaired bit by bit by archaeologists to see their original appearance.
They can use the most convenient and quickest techniques based on the drawings to make all the drawings into finished products. Moreover, the situation Li Lou encountered gave them a different idea.
Yuan Jin thought about this and decided to go home later and discuss the matter with his master.
She has to go out in a few days and go to the southwest with the filming team to shoot video materials of traditional skills in ethnic minority areas.
Before departure, she had to go to Lin Province to arrange work for a new rehabilitation center, and made an appointment with Guo Xingchang to meet at the Chongcheng Rehabilitation Center in the afternoon.
The affairs of the group are currently in the hands of Zhai Yayun and the others, and she will only be needed to step in when big things happen.
After leaving the research room, Yuan Jin helped Mr. Leng take off his lab coat and casually asked him what he thought.
The old man has been silent since entering the laboratory, as if he has a lot of things on his mind.
"I was thinking that you have really done something great." Mr. Leng lowered his eyes and looked at her, "Some skills must be recorded and passed on to future generations. The bronze lamp of Crane and Deer in Spring is exquisite and full of charm.
It’s smart, and the craftsmen who made it must have extraordinary experience.”
Very few of these techniques have been handed down. Even the complex craftsmanship and amazing design of Zeng Hou Yizun's plate have not been handed down.
The skills included in the database cover various skills that have been recognized, are being applied for, or do not meet the application requirements. In the future, even if there is no master to teach you, you can still recover it by yourself through image data.
"It doesn't matter if others praise me, you should also praise me." Yuan Jin replied with a smile, "I really wanted you to save effort at first, but later I felt that I had to spend all the money to get things done. The stall is so big.
After all, you can’t just use lip service to sell something.”
Bronze smelting and casting skills should be learned by many people in their heyday, but gradually disappear from people's sight with the development of economy. Many of today's skills will also disappear in the long history. The more developed the economy, the more the pursuit of beauty and culture.
exuberant.
She only left a permanent image of these skills when she was able. Those who have been working hard to pass on the skills are the ones who do great things. They can endure hardships and endure loneliness. She is not.
"I didn't mean to praise you." The old man also laughed, "I was actually thinking just now that we had a photoshoot before, and the skills that our ancestor left behind may not be the skills we know."
It took them several years to determine the craftsmanship of the drawings, but the drawings were not necessarily made with this craftsmanship.
"Lian Zhuyan is almost finished. After that, you can rest for a while. I have to go and take pictures of other skills. When we come back, we will start working on the next one." Yuan Jin helped him go out, "Change the next one.
Try your skills."
The old man nodded with a smile.
You really need to change your thinking, look at those drawings from a different angle, and use a different technique for production.
…
At 4 p.m., Yuan Jin drove to the rehabilitation center to meet Guo Xingchang.
His daughter's recovery has been pretty good. She can talk occasionally and can take care of herself. The couple have been very concerned about their daughter's recovery in the past few years. The intervention and treatment have been very effective, and she is the best recovered child among the children in the same batch.
Guo Xingchang's wife also adopted several godsons and goddaughters, and her temperament is much more cheerful and gentle than before.
Yuan Jin pushed open the door of the activity room and went in. Guo Xingchang was playing on the slide with his daughter.
She leaned against the door and watched for a while, then waited until they were tired of playing before moving over.
"She interacts with us much more frequently." Guo Xingchang walked out of the activity area with his nine-year-old daughter in his arms, carefully placed it on the sofa, and sat down next to his daughter. "The staff arrangements there have been completed. According to your request, all
All employees signed a responsibility letter.”
"I will go over after finishing the work at hand. The project to rescue out-of-school girls will continue to advance. If the manpower is insufficient, we will recruit a few more." Yuan Jin nodded slightly.
Rehabilitation center employees are paid very high wages, but they must sign a responsibility letter and are not allowed to beat or abuse the mentally retarded rescue recipients. Once discovered, in addition to calling the police, they must also compensate the center for any loss of reputation.
"We have enough manpower, but the legal team recently encountered a person who was very difficult to rescue. They are full of resentment whether they can help or not." Guo Xingchang picked up the tablet aside and unlocked it, handing it to her at any time, "This girl was interrupted by her parents.
She lost her legs, didn't give her food, and forced her to get married. We contacted this girl, and she wanted us to give her money but not to interfere with her affairs."
Yuan Jin took the tablet and looked at it for a while, frowning suspiciously, "People from Chongcheng?"
According to the information, she is a local and her mental retardation is not serious, but her reaction is a bit slow.
"Yes, she is still in the hospital. She can't file a case without filing a complaint with the police. Our lawyer is helpless." Guo Xingchang sighed, "You are only 16 years old. How can you get married as a child?"
"I'm going to check on her." Yuan Jin returned the tablet, thought for a while and then said, "Tell the staff of the external relations department that when you go to check the actual situation of the person asking for help, take a look at whether there are any local craftsmen."
In the past few years, the amount of money she has invested in the foundation is no less than in database development.
The anti-trafficking team rescued hundreds of trafficked women and recovered more than 20 missing children.
"I'll notify you later." Guo Xingchang agreed and reminded, "When you go to see that girl, it's best not to let her family know your identity. It's not easy to mess with."
Chapter completed!
