My documentary really doesn't want high ratings

They dress just like us and live in the age of the machine industry.

But their craft has been passed down for thousands of years.

Their masters and masters are workers in scholars, farmers, commerce and industry.

......

Xu Zhang and Tong Xing saw this.

Brow wrinkled slightly.

For documentaries about cultural relics, how can we only introduce cultural relic restorers?

What about cultural relics?

What about the screen?

......

As soon as the camera turns, the restorers hold tools in their hands and are repairing the screen that appeared at the beginning.

"What about the microfiber?"

"Look, this groove can't be pressed down."

"These are gaps."

......

These screens are full of dust and signs of damage.

It has been sealed in the basement of the Capital Museum for nearly 300 years.

A rare three and a half meters long.

Precious rosewood border.

Mother-of-pearl inlays that signify wealth.

The inlaid copper longevity character reveals its nobility.

Five months later, it will appear in another palace at the Capital Museum with a completely new look.

There are 32 such screens in total.

It was a birthday gift from the 32 sons and [-] grandsons of Emperor Kangxi who lived on his [-]th birthday.

The front of the screen is made of bright yellow silk, and various forms of longevity characters are embroidered in color.

The total number exceeds [-], commonly known as Wanshou Screen.

On the back of the screen, rare verses are written with mineral azurite pigment.

Each fan has a five-character verse written by two persons.

It is a birthday poem written for him by the grandson of Hongzi, the son of Kangxi Emperor Yin.

These included Yongzheng and Qianlong who later became emperors.

Although these screens have extraordinary origins.

And it's well made, but now it's just worn out by time and can't see the glory.

Without these top cultural relic restorers, superb craftsmanship.

Maybe these screens are still in a dilapidated corner of the Capital Museum, and they will continue to stay.

Looking at the camera, some screens are so rotten that the complete shape cannot be seen.

........

Both Xu Zhang and Tong Xing felt sorry.

The Longevity Screen of Emperor Kangxi is also very famous.

There are a total of 72 screens, and each screen has a different shape of the character Shou.

But I didn't expect that now, some of them have rotted like this.

This is for Xu Zhang and Tong Xing who often deal with cultural relics.

Quite heartache.

At the same time, they also had some doubts in their hearts.

Xu Zhang murmured.

"It has become like this, can it be restored?"

"I don't know. Look at the third screen. The wooden frame is gone. It can be repaired. I will kneel down for him on the spot."

Tong Xing shook his head, expressing his doubts.

......

These restorations have been collected by the Department of Cultural Protection and Science and Technology of the Capital Museum.

Bronze, wood, lacquer, inlay, calligraphy and painting, weaving and embroidery and other craft groups.

There are only five months left until the Capital Museum celebrates its 90th anniversary.

They worked together to ensure that one screen was repaired in an average week to catch up with the progress of the exhibition.

And this is only a small part of the many cultural relics restored.

is the tip of the iceberg.

A crisp and pleasant voice sounded in a certain room of the museum.

Wang Jin of the watch group is checking a certain watch.

In the face of this nineteenth-century clock, the structure is huge.

There are many parts and the process is complicated.

Those who are familiar with this kind of antique-level clocks now.

It is already rare.

The name of the clock that Wang Jin is repairing is: gold-plated copper country music water method clock.

Its original owner was Emperor Qianlong.

The emperors of the Qing Dynasty loved clock collections more than Shunzhi, Kangxi and Qianlong.

The degree to which the three emperors love clocks and watches is better than that of one generation.

After the Industrial Revolution in the West, missionaries came to China.

They will study what the emperor likes.

The latest and best clocks and watches were sent to the palace at that time, forming a unique collection.

"When I went to the British Museum, I didn't see large (clocks), they were all small."

Wang Jin said to the camera.

At the age of [-], Wang Jin, who wears glasses, looks gentle and elegant.

As a gift, the palace clock has an extremely delicate and complicated mechanical transmission system and a gorgeous appearance.

It represented the world's most advanced machinery manufacturing and technology level at that time.

But fixing them isn't as enjoyable as watching them.

Since clocks and watches are utilities, they need constant maintenance.

Because when a certain emperor was kicked out of the palace, these watchmakers could still stay in the palace.

The restoration technique of clocks and watches is the only intangible cultural heritage that has been handed down without fault in the capital museum.

"This time, there are fewer strokes. It should be four strokes and one o'clock. With this clock, three strokes are one o'clock."

Qi Haonan said facing the clock in his hand.

After the old master retired, Wang Jin and his apprentice Qi Haonan were the only two palace watch restorers in the Capital Museum.

There are thousands of clocks in the Capital Museum.

A person's life cannot be completed.

It needs to be passed on from generation to generation.

......

"Only two, the Capital Museum exhibits so many clocks and watches every year, do they all depend on these two people?"

Xu Zhang was taken aback for a moment.

When he visited the Capital Museum, all the clocks and watches were collected in a special exhibition hall.

I thought it was a big project, but I didn't expect it to be completed by two people.

This is a bit beyond his imagination.

Tong Xing on the side was equally astonished.

Look at the complex clocks in the picture.

If only one piece is damaged, it may take several months to repair it.

And the clocks and watches in the house have to be repaired by these two people.

Tong Xing suddenly felt it.

Compared with them, my work has become so easy.

......

The office of the watch group is still busy.

The office of the bronzeware group is not idle either.

"Look, this is Guangzhou Gold, very beautiful."

"This is a set of cups, which are full of literary allusions, such as the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove."

......

People kept sending some gold and silver utensils to the office of the bronze ware group one after another.

In terms of individual money, the bronze group seems to be the richest.

The silver wares that are constantly being sent in are actually silver wares sent from the Treasure Hall, and they are also exhibits that are about to be replaced.

The Treasure Hall has always been rich in treasures.

Silverware is easy to oxidize and turn black, and the task of the copperware group is to remove rust and make them new.

Derusting without damaging the carcass must be done by an experienced metal restorer.

Hun Xiaogang and Wang Youliang looked at the set of cups that had just been delivered.

His eyes carefully examined the cultural relics in his hand.

They are top bronze restorers.

The "Horse Stepping on the Flying Swallow", which caused a sensation in the world in the last century, was restored by their masters.

In the 80s, he entered the Forbidden City to work and followed the master to restore a large number of bronzes.

The bronze wares collected in the Capital Museum have been repaired almost in the early years.

Now their routine includes a lot of gold and silver and all metal-stained artifacts.

Museums around the world will also send broken bronzes.

Therefore, the restoration skills of bronzes continue.

"If you make a replica, you can repair it. Basically, if you can make a replica, you can enter this business."

In the workshop, Wang Youliang compared the bronze artifacts in his hand.

Coloring a replica I made.

To make a replica, it must be exactly the same as the original, so except for the color of the cultural relic itself.

Wang Youliang also wanted to paint the embroidery on the bronze ware.
