Attach importance to the restoration of ancient books and strengthen the training of restoration technicians
Leaders at all levels should attach importance to the restoration of ancient books, support them in terms of policies, ensure the needs of funds, equipment and personnel for the restoration of ancient books, and strengthen leadership over the restoration of ancient books. Talent is the deciding factor in the restoration effort. At present, there is a general shortage of ancient book restorers at home and abroad, showing a situation of aging technicians and talent faults. It is urgent to strengthen the cultivation of ancient book restoration talents, improve their professional level and professional quality, and establish a high-level ancient book restoration team.
Excavating, analyzing and summarizing traditional ancient book restoration techniques The traditional Chinese techniques of paper and ink, calligraphy, binding, engraving and printing have immortal value
These carefully preserved materials are the basis for the study of China's historical heritage and cultural achievements. This is accompanied by a wealth of experience in the restoration of ancient books and excellent and effective restoration techniques. The development of ancient Chinese book restoration technology has experienced thousands of years of history, and today it is a mature technology, which is a valuable cultural heritage left to us by predecessors. The analysis, induction and summary of traditional ancient book restoration technology, and the excavation of the shining points and unique effects of ancient book restoration technology, are of great significance to the current better restoration of ancient books.
Apply modern science and technology to develop traditional restoration techniques
Traditional restoration techniques have certain deficiencies in the applicability of technical means and functions due to the limitations of social history and the level of productivity. In this regard, we should use modern science and technology to enrich and improve its excellent and reasonable parts, adopt a scientific attitude, transform its irrational elements in a critically inherited manner, and strive to make breakthroughs to meet the requirements of modern society. For example, the development of a repair machine suitable for rapid mounting of longer documents such as albums, folds, and hand-scrolled ancient books can not only ensure the quality of ancient book restoration, but also reduce the amount of labor of restoration personnel.
Strengthen regional cooperation and international exchanges
At present, there are many institutions at home and abroad that study the restoration of ancient books, and they also have their own characteristics. For example, China has exquisite ancient book restoration technology, Germany has a computer-controlled pulp book filling machine, Japan has advanced repair adhesives, and France has opened ancient book restoration courses. Strengthening regional cooperation and international exchanges, learning and absorbing advanced ancient book restoration techniques and lessons learned, complementing each other's advantages, and extensively collaborating will undoubtedly be conducive to the development of ancient book restoration.
Improve the management level and actively protect precious literature
Improve the modern management level of ancient books and documents, reduce natural damage and man-made damage in reading and utilization; prevent light, dust, moisture and harmful gases, and create a good warehouse environment; and actively promote the application of new technologies, such as paper acid removal technology.
Solve the problem of paper for the restoration of ancient books and the collection of ancient books
At present, the mechanism seen on the market, raw edge, wool paper, etc., because the pulp is manufactured by modern methods, the acidity is too high, and it is not suitable for the restoration of ancient books. The relevant departments of the state may designate the production of paper for the restoration of ancient books to promote the development of restoration work; some institutions that lack the conditions for the preservation and collection of rare books and ancient books may report to the relevant departments for approval and transfer the ancient books they have collected to institutions with good collection conditions, so as to facilitate the protection of ancient books and the development of future restoration work.
