Regarding this phenomenon, the staff of the Guangdong Museum of Traditional Chinese Medicine said that recently, Guangdong has entered the rainy season, and the weather is relatively humid. "In the past, we have also received feedback from tourists that some insect medicine is moldy inside, and we will deal with it. These exhibits are mainly for display and research, and will not be used for consumption. The staff said that they have equipped a dehumidifier in the exhibition hall, which will regularly carry out sanitize and insect removal, and will also increase the dehumidification sanitize in the later stage.
According to a report by the Yangcheng faction, some experts said that humidity is indeed an important factor affecting the quality of cultural relics in the collection. Shi Haobin, director of the Cultural Relics Protection Management Department of the Guangdong Folk Craft Museum, introduced that in humid weather, for the cultural relics in the exhibition hall and display cabinet, we must first start with environmental monitoring, and a large number of temperature and humidity sensors are laid in the exhibition hall space and display cabinet, so that the librarian can grasp the temperature and humidity changes in the exhibition hall space and the display cabinet in real time. Secondly, when the humidity rises in the "back to the south sky", the dehumidification mode is immediately turned on to adjust the humidity of the hall. In addition, it is necessary to maintain the airtightness of the display case and isolate the air flow in the exhibition hall and the display case.
Huang Xiaobing, pharmacist in charge of the Department of Pharmacy of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, suggested that in humid weather, the medicinal materials should be tightly sealed to isolate them from the outside light, harmful gases and pests and bacteria, so that it is possible to maintain their original quality and avoid losses such as moth-eaten and mildew.
It is understood that the Guangdong Museum of Traditional Chinese Medicine was established in 2006 and is now a national second-class museum, with a medical history museum, a Chinese medicine museum, an acupuncture museum, a health museum, a Lingnan Medical Museum, a Lingnan Chinese medicine museum, a history museum of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine and a "Chinese medicine crystal palace" Lingnan Chinese herbal medicine liquid immersion specimen exhibition area 8 theme pavilions (exhibition areas), the museum has a collection of more than 20,000 pieces (sets) of traditional Chinese medicine cultural relics, literature, and Chinese medicine specimens, and 5,931 collections are included in the database of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage.
