Chapter 233: Chapter 233, National Treasure, Thousand Miles rivers and mountains painting!

In the afternoon, Ning Fei, Lin Shanhe, and Wang Xu sat together and learned about the restoration of the cultural relics.

Liu Tianzhi just stood aside respectfully.

Although Liu Tianzhi and Ning Fei were about the same age, he was only a junior in the house.

Lin Shanhe brought him here this time in the hope that he could see the world.

Before restoring the cultural relics, Wang Xu had doubts about Ning Fei’s ability. However, after chatting for a while, he completely trusted him.

Ning Fei had a deep understanding of Chinese painting.

He could also point out some problems with the art of painting.

According to Lin Shanhe, if he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would never believe that a young man could have such a deep understanding of Chinese painting.

“This restoration is a live broadcast. There shouldn’t be any problems, right?”Wang Xu had obviously received an order from Huaxia TV. He knew that tonight’s restoration was extraordinary.

If it failed, it would have a very negative impact on society.

After all, it was central TV’s program, and it was also a live broadcast of the cultural relics from the Forbidden City. He couldn’t afford to ruin the show.

At this moment, the head of Central TV’s TV3 station was also feeling guilty. However, he knew that tonight’s opportunity was very important to him.

If it could really cause a big reaction, then his wish to be promoted would probably be realized.

The station head was under a lot of pressure, and the director of the Palace Museum was under a lot of pressure. However, the pressure ultimately fell on Ning Fei and Lin Shanhe.

At this moment, they had already arrived at the room that specialized in repairing calligraphy and paintings.

This was an antique-looking room. The surroundings were completely sealed, and there were no windows. However, the air inside did not appear turbid.

The ancient painting that needed to be restored was placed in the center of the room.

“Is this the ‘thousand miles rivers and mountains painting’?”Ning Fei came in front of the ancient painting and looked at the ancient painting in the glass window. His expression became serious.

After hearing Liu Tianzhi’s request, he agreed to restore the ancient Chinese painting without even thinking.

This was because these were all cultural treasures that had been passed down from China. Every painting had traveled through the long river of time to show the glory of China to future generations.

These things were truly priceless treasures.

However, with the erosion of time, the environment, and the poor preservation of the painting, the damage to the painting and calligraphy had become an objective trend. Similarly, the painting and calligraphy could not be mounted once and for all, so.., the restoration and mounting of the painting and calligraphy of China also belonged to a special type of traditional art.

On both sides of this thousand miles rivers and mountains painting, there were two parts that were already damaged.

The damaged parts weren’t big, but they affected the overall beauty of the painting.

That was why a true master of Chinese painting was needed to repair the damaged parts of the painting.

Night finally fell.

Before the live broadcast, Ning Fei and Lin Shanhe were constantly exchanging their experiences on repairing the painting.

The two of them had basically reached an agreement.

Wang Xu did not interfere with them. There were specializations in different fields.

If this traditional Chinese painting, Lin Shanhe, could not be restored, then no one in China would dare to say that it could be restored.

And Lin Shanhe insisted on having Ning Fei help him. Naturally, there was a reason for Lin Shanhe.

7:50 pm.

Before the restoration, Lin Shanhe and Ning Fei had dinner. At the same time, they took a shower and changed their clothes. After undergoing aseptic treatment, they finally arrived at the place where the ancient painting was restored.

This time, the live broadcast was on one hand through the drone hovering above the roof, and on the other hand through the camera installed in the room itself.

As soon as Ning Fei’s live broadcast room opened, his popularity began to soar rapidly.

At the same time, China’s TV3 channel also broadcast Ning Fei’s live broadcast. Moreover, China’s TV3 channel had specially invited two masters of Cultural Relics Restoration from the palace museum to commentate.

It could be seen that they valued this live broadcast very much.

“It’s finally starting!”

“It’s starting, it’s starting. I want to watch the Palace Museum.”

“Wow, an outdoor live broadcast has come to the palace museum. Who can compare to that?”

“Abbey Dean Ning is awesome!”

“It’s so lively. I’m dazzled by the bullet comments.”

The moment the live broadcast started, the netizens were especially enthusiastic. The bullet comments completely covered the live broadcast room. If it wasn’t for the increased transparency of the bullet comments, it would have been impossible to see the contents of the live broadcast room clearly.

Ning Fei knew that today’s live broadcast was very important.

It was different from the usual casual live broadcast. Today was a program on China’s TV3 channel, so it was much more formal.

Ning Fei took a deep breath and began his live broadcast commentary:

“Good evening, everyone. As you can see, I am currently in the Palace Museum. I am preparing to work with Mr. Lin Shanhe to restore a rare ancient painting of the Forbidden City, the thousand miles rivers and mountains painting

“The restoration of an ancient painting requires a very high standard of environment

“Take the current room as an example. It includes 24-hour constant temperature and humidity, an air conditioner, indoor lighting that does not contain ultraviolet rays, all-weather alarm monitoring, microscope observation photography, and so on.”

At this moment, Ning Fei was wearing the Taiji sun and moon robe.

The only difference was that he was wearing a pair of white sterile gloves at this moment, in preparation for the restoration of the ancient painting.

Lin Shanhe also spoke from the side:

“This painting is the ‘Thousand Miles rivers and mountains painting’. In the form of a long scroll, it uses the misty and boundless rivers and the undulating mountains to form a marvelous landscape painting of Jiangnan

“The ‘Thousand Miles rivers and mountains painting’is a masterpiece of ink painting since the Northern Song dynasty. It is considered a freehand painting.”

As the live broadcast zoomed in, the netizens could clearly see the full picture of the painting.

The painting was 51.5 centimeters wide, about half a meter long, and 1,191.5 centimeters long. It was nearly 12 meters long.

When the painting was completely spread out on the table, the green landscape painting on it was majestic and extended for thousands of miles. It was worthy of the words ‘thousand miles rivers and mountains’.

“This painting… is so long.”

“Someone who knows how to do it, just tell me how much this painting is worth.”

“The thousand miles of rivers and mountains painting is one of the ten most famous paintings in China. It is the treasure of the imperial palace. How much do you think it is worth?”

“This is a truly priceless treasure. Money is no longer enough to measure the value of this painting.”

“Some of the famous artists’ordinary paintings can be bought for tens of millions of dollars. For a masterpiece like this, there should be hundreds of millions of dollars.”

“You are looking down on the top ten famous paintings in China. It is not a joke to say that they are priceless. If you can really buy them, you might not even be able to buy them for billions of dollars.”

“Is it that valuable?”

The netizens were discussing the thousand miles rivers and mountains painting.

At this moment, Ning Fei continued:

“Repairing cultural relics is never that simple. According to the protection of cultural relics law, ‘do not change the original state’is the principle of cultural relics protection, but it is also very difficult to define.”

“Some ancient tools are easier to maintain, but painting and calligraphy are the most difficult to maintain

“There are three types of painting and calligraphy maintenance. The first type is mounting. All ancient paintings have to be remounted after a period of time. The Center for the protection of cultural relics also has a professional craftsman to mount the ancient paintings

“The second type is that ancient paintings and calligraphy will deposit a large number of invisible stains. If the painting is not cleaned in time, it will corrode

“The center for the protection of cultural relics will use infrared and ultraviolet rays to identify stains that can not be recognized by the naked eye, and then use professional techniques to clean it up.”

“The third type is the most common diseases of paper relics such as broken, broken, and cavities. This kind of disease can only be repaired by manual methods.”

Ning Fei stared at the ancient painting, his expression as calm as water. At the same time, he explained to the netizens.

When the netizens heard his words, they also felt the complexity and difficulty of maintaining the cultural relics.

At this moment, Lin Shanhe said again,

“The ‘Thousand Miles rivers and mountains painting’has always been well preserved. However, there are two places that are slightly incomplete.”

“Everyone, look here. There is some ink missing in this place. The reason is unknown. It may be due to oxidation and drying, or it may have been dissolved by something.”

Lin Shanhe pointed at a place in the painting and said.

The netizens looked carefully and found that in a small and unremarkable place in the painting, there was an area on the top of a mountain that was not quite right in color. It looked a little white.

If Lin Shanhe had not pointed it out to them, the netizens would not have noticed it at all.

“This counts?”

“That is an artifact. Even the slightest flaw is very incomplete.”

“For an artifact of this level, the goal is perfection.”

“But after the later generations painted it, wasn’t it also not perfect?”

“It can only be said that after restoration, the artifact will reach a better state. It’s simply impossible to return to the original perfect state.”

As everyone discussed, Lin Shanhe took a few more steps and came to the other side. He said to the netizens,

“There is also a problem with this place.”

“The restoration of the Thousand Miles rivers and mountains painting has always been a worry for the Palace Museum.”

“Only a true master of traditional Chinese painting would have full confidence in restoring the painting to its best condition.”

“However, there is another requirement, which is that both areas must be started and completed at the same time. The thickness of the ink must be exactly the same.”

“Therefore, the maintenance of the Thousand Miles rivers and mountains painting has been delayed by me for several decades

“I have been looking for another Chinese artist whose attainments in Chinese painting have reached the peak. I haven’t found him until now.”

Lin Shanhe’s tone was a little regretful, but also a little expectant.

He was the true number one artist in Chinese painting. He had been famous since he was young, and now he was highly respected. All the way, he had been accompanied by glory and cheers.

His achievements could be written in a book on paper.

However, Lin Shanhe had always been thinking about restoring the thousand miles rivers and mountains painting.

This painting was the representative work of Chinese ink painting, but there were two flaws that remained there forever.

It was only now that Ning Fei’s appearance made it possible to restore the thousand miles rivers and mountains painting.

When the netizens heard Lin Shanhe’s words, the way they looked at Ning Fei changed.

Just who was this youth that could make Lin Shanhe’s tone be filled with admiration for him.

At this moment, under the attention of the netizens, Ning Fei and Lin Shanhe officially started the repair work.
