Cultural relics are the historical and cultural heritage of mankind and have important research value. China has a long history and rich cultural heritage. Properly protecting it is conducive to the promotion of our country’s traditional culture. In recent years, our country has paid more attention to cultural relics protection and has successively issued a series of Policies and regulations to increase the protection of cultural relics. As a key link in the protection of cultural relics, the restoration of cultural relics has also attracted more attention.
Policies to Promote Cultural Relics Protection and Technological Innovation
As we all know, the restoration of cultural relics is a discipline that requires the integration of multi-disciplinary knowledge and it is highly scientific. In the past, restoration of cultural relics was often constrained by the level of science and technology, and the restoration effect was not ideal. It even caused damage and destruction to cultural relics. With the advancement of technology and improvement of science and technology, the role of scientific and technological forces in the restoration of cultural relics has become increasingly prominent. China has introduced a series of policy measures to promote the technological innovation process of cultural heritage protection.
At the end of 2016, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Culture, and the State Administration of Cultural Heritage jointly issued the “National 13th Five-Year Plan for Cultural Heritage Protection and Public Cultural Services Science and Technology Innovation Plan” notice. The “planning” clearly puts forward scientific and technological support to strengthen cultural heritage protection and restoration. , Remote sensing telemetry, precision dating, non-destructive micro-damage detection and a number of key technologies and related equipment were mentioned. In June 2017, the State Administration of Cultural Heritage issued another “Opinions on Strengthening the 13th Five-Year Cultural Relics Work”. , "Opinions" will build a comprehensive protection system for cultural relics protection as an important task of cultural relics protection.
instrument Helping to restore significant artifacts
Under the promotion of the policy, a significant breakthrough was made in the restoration of cultural relics in China. A number of high-quality scientific analytical instruments were used in the restoration work. CT scanners for cultural relics, scanning electron microscope, high spectrometer , Micro X-ray fluorescence spectrometers, infrared spectrometers, micro laser Raman spectrometers and other equipment have begun to be popularized in major museums, and the protection of cultural relics has become more scientific and effective.
In the process of restoration of cultural relics, modern microscopy techniques can be regarded as indispensable means. Cultural relics repair workers can use microscopes to analyze the shape, structure, composition and process of cultural relics to formulate a reasonable protection plan for cultural relics. Restore the broken cultural relics and extend the life of the damaged cultural relics. The restoration of modern cultural relics needs to be rediscovered on this basis. The value of the cultural relics should be tapped and the cultural relics should be 'live'. The Palace Museum once exhibited the Emperor Qianlong's mother Wanshou map, using the hyperspectral imaging technology during the restoration process, discovered the covered manuscript and the hand in the sleeve, which provided new clues for the study of all aspects of the painting. Not only does the repair process require scientific instruments, but the judgment of the repair effect remains. , It also needs the aid of scientific equipment. Using the 3D video scanner, the staff can observe the mold that is difficult to find with the naked eye, so that the repair effect can be quantified. At present, the 3D video scanner is used for painting, silk, and Thangka repair. Plays a significant role.
At present, the state attaches great importance to the protection of cultural heritage. The Party Central Committee and the State Council have regarded it as an important step in 'promoting traditional culture and strengthening cultural confidence'. The remediation of cultural relics has continued to rise. There are more than 4,000 museums in total in China. There are a large number of cultural relics in the collection. Taking the National Palace Museum in China as an example, it has about 1.8 million pieces of precious cultural relics. After years of eroding, these cultural relics need frequent maintenance and repairs. The demand for scientific instruments is not small. It is foreseeable that with the protection of cultural relics With the acceleration of the work process, the scientific instrument market will also usher in rapid growth.
