Paintings and ancient books should originally be Zhou Shitao's strong suit. Under normal circumstances, given his formidable position and status, it's impossible for anyone else to intervene in the field he excels at.
Yet this time, Zhou Shitao voluntarily abdicated, allowing an Old Granny to take charge, which was indeed unusual.
This piqued Huo Sining's curiosity about the legendary master of restoration, famed for being "Ingeniously Crafted".
That's right, restoration.
The Mawangdui Silk Texts experienced such a challenging journey.
Painting and ancient books have always been a major category among cultural relics, and the restoration techniques are the most complete in the field of antiquities.
The fundamental process of restoring paintings generally consists of four stages: washing the base, removing old parts, reinforcing and fixing, and retouching, collectively known as wash-remove-reinforce-retouch.
