Zu Wei said

The difficulty of restoring this set of ancient books lies in it

Ancient books have been seriously culled

Besides

There are also traces of restorations in ancient books

These traces have also faded

And the paste also failed

Zu Wei had to first dismantle the ancient books

Restoration of ancient books

The most important is the craftsmanship of the conservators besides the ancient books

There is also repair paper

Restoration paper chosen by Zu Wei

It is generally produced in Anhui, Jiangxi and other places

Handmade repair paper

She generally does not use mechanical paper

Because mechanical paper sometimes adds a lot of chemical raw materials

In the long run

It is uncertain whether this will affect ancient books
