The joining of Zhang Qiwei and Yuan Jie made Luo Tian more confident. In the next few days, Luo Tian kept interviewing the applicants. In addition to professional restoration workers, he also needed front desk, accounting, administrative and other talents.
, he was very busy for a while, but fortunately, Cheng Zhen took care of his worries.
A week later, the company finally looked decent. Luo Tian made a special call to reporters from various antique magazines and newspapers. For a while, the news of the disappearance of Luo Tian’s antique restoration company spread in the circle. At this time, it was also Luo Tian and
It was time for the National Museum to sign a cooperation agreement. As soon as the agreement was signed, Director Fu received a call: "Luo Tian, there is something that needs your help to repair."
"What is it?" Even the National Museum can't figure it out. It's either very rare or very shabby!!
"I will send someone to escort the thing over. Make sure to pay attention to its safety. You will know when the time comes. If the repair is successful, I will directly transfer the money into your company's account."
Two days later, the things were indeed delivered to Luo Tian's company. It was not a small piece. The person who escorted the things was Xiao Chen. He was very excited to see Luo Tian again, but he also emphasized: "The curator said, put it directly into the warehouse. Pay attention."
Safety."
Luo Tian was a little dumbfounded: "Don't worry, since I'm in this business, I know the importance of security. Okay, let's enter the repair room now."
The things were placed in the repair room. Now there are only Luo Tian, Cheng Zhen, Zhang Qiwei and Yuan Jie. Xiao Chen looked at the monitoring room in the repair room and felt a little relieved. He carefully opened the box. This box was about
An adult man is so long that from a distance, it looks a bit like... a coffin.
As soon as the lid was opened, several people looked at each other, and Yuan Jie even scratched his head excitedly: "Jade clothes with golden threads!!"
The burial clothes of emperors and nobles of the Han Dynasty in China were divided into gold threads, silver rings and copper threads according to the rank of the deceased. These three types of jade clothes have been found in archaeological work. Two sets of gold jade garments were unearthed from the tomb of Liu Sheng, Prince Jing of Hanzhongshan, and his wife in Mancheng, Hebei Province.
Each jade garment is made of more than two thousand jade pieces woven with gold wire.
The gold-lined jade garment was the highest-standard funeral burial garment in the Han Dynasty, and it roughly appeared in the Wenjing period of the Western Han Dynasty. According to "Xijing Magazine", emperors of the Han Dynasty were buried with "jade boxes with beaded garments", which were shaped like armor and connected with gold wire. This
The jade box is what people call jade clothes with golden threads. At that time, people were very superstitious that jade could preserve the immortality of corpses, and they even regarded jade as a noble ritual vessel and a symbol of status.
Emperors and nobles of the Han Dynasty were buried wearing "jade clothes" (also known as "jade boxes") when they died. They were made of many jade pieces with small holes in the four corners, woven together with gold, silver or copper wires.
They are called "gold-lined jade clothes" (imperial level), "silver-lined jade clothes" (king level), and "copper-lined jade clothes" (gonghou level).
The origin of jade clothing can be traced back to the "jade-embellished masks" and "jade-embellished clothes" in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Pi issued an edict banning jade clothing, which has been popular for four hundred years. The jade clothing of the emperor and some of his ministers were decorated with gold
The jade clothes made of silver and copper wires are called "jade clothes with silver threads" and "jade clothes with copper threads". So far, two jade clothes have been found in the country.
More than ten pieces.
The jade garment in front of you consists of six parts: hood, upper body, sleeves, gloves, trouser legs and shoes. They are all made of jade pieces and embellished with gold threads. There are jade eye covers on the head inside the jade garment, as well as nasal congestion.
There is a genital cover box and anal plug on the lower abdomen. The periphery is sewn with red fabric, and the trousers are wrapped with iron bars to reinforce the shape. The face is carved with eyes, nose, mouth shape, broad chest and back, and hip.
The abdomen is bulging, completely resembling a human body shape.
"Luo Tian, this jade garment has a total of 2,450 jade pieces, and only 1,000 grams of gold wire is left. It is incomplete. The jade pieces have completely scattered, and the jade pieces are also worn and damaged, so the amount of work is very large." Xiao Chen
Said: "The museum has limited staff and other restoration tasks, so we just barely pieced it together into its original shape, but the next step of the work will be left to you."
"Wow." Yuan Jie complained first: "No, it's so complicated. It will probably take a year."
"If it wasn't difficult, would we still come to you?" Xiao Chen said cheerfully: "Luo Tian, don't I know your ability yet? Well, my task has been completed. Now please sign in on the acceptance letter.
Sign, okay?"
Luo Tian took out a pen and signed his name on the acceptance letter. Xiao Chen took it back and said, "I still have something to do. You can't even try to show your friendship to the landlord. I'll leave first."
This Xiao Chen was also quite funny. Luo Tian nodded: "Okay, you can go first."
Xiao Chen left, and the three of them began to study this jade garment. Luo Tian asked, "What do you think?"
While Yuan Jie was still hesitating, Zhang Qiwei said: "Actually, the museum has put the original together, which has saved us a lot of trouble. What we have to do now is to restore the jade pieces. The imperfections in the jade pieces need to be filled. The second thing is the gold
Thread, the gold thread is missing, we need to purchase gold thread, and the third thing is to connect the jade pieces in series."
"It sounds very simple." Yuan Jie said.
"That's because the museum has done the most important work, which is to return all the jade pieces to their previous positions. This is like a jigsaw puzzle. It sounds simple, but it is very brain-consuming and time-consuming. Just putting it together
It takes an ordinary person at least a week to make a piece of jade for one foot. Yuan Jie, you can't underestimate this prerequisite work." Luo Tian said seriously.
"Oh." Yuan Jie was a little annoyed: "I was just joking casually. Don't take it seriously. After all, I am also an expert."
"Okay, expert, don't touch this jade garment now. Then number the damaged jade pieces, take them out, and repair them. This is the repair of the jade article. I believe you can do it." Luo Tian emphasized: "The jade pieces are repaired.
It must match the records on the jade garment, otherwise you will have to spend some effort to find their original locations."
Yuan Jie agreed to get the jade pieces, and Luo Tian turned to Zhang Qiwei: "Qiwei, what else do you think?"
"Others?" Zhang Qiwei was stunned.
Luo Tian smiled and said, "Actually, the most difficult part of this jade garment is the hands."
"hand?"
"That's right, the thumb of the hand wearing the jade garment can be raised or held. This requires accurate judgment during repair, because the jade garment was worn by a dead person and we have no way of knowing its condition.
What will be the shape of the owner's hand after death?" Luo Tian said, "This is the most difficult part."
Zhang Qiwei really didn't expect this detail. He admired Luo Tian a little: "Yes, then, the jade pieces on the hands will be left until the end."
"Yes, we need one more thing." Luo Tian said: "Golden thread."
