My singer girlfriend is super fierce

Chapter 1532 "Only This Verdant Green"

The group arrived at the entrance of the storage room.

"These top-level calligraphy and painting artifacts need to be stored at a constant temperature and humidity. The temperature is generally controlled at 18-22°C and the humidity is between 50-55%. They should be sealed and stored in a sealed environment, and long-term exposure to light, especially ultraviolet light, should be avoided."

"Because its material is silk, it is very fragile. Unsuitable conditions will accelerate the aging, embrittlement or fading of the pigments."

"The same applies to other cultural relics. So, in a sense, the work of the National Museum is not about exhibiting cultural relics, but about racing against time."

A dancer asked curiously, "Director Yin, how many paintings and calligraphy works are there in the museum in total?"

“14.6 pieces.” Yin Chuan replied almost without hesitation: “Among them, there are 5.3 paintings and 9.3 calligraphy works.”

This figure left the dancers speechless, and someone asked, "Do all these paintings and calligraphy need to be preserved according to this standard? How much would that cost?"

"Of course not," Director Yin said with a wry smile. "Only a national treasure like 'A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains' deserves this treatment."

"For calligraphy and painting collections, our principle is 'preventive protection as the primary approach and restoration as a secondary measure,' and we generally won't touch them unnecessarily..."

Following Director Yin's explanation, the door to the storage room was opened.

The group followed the staff to a huge display stand. As the scroll slowly unfolded before their eyes, all the dancers exclaimed in amazement.

Even Ye Zhi Qiu, who had already learned a lot about this painting when he worked on the "National Treasure" program, was still deeply shocked when the original was displayed before him.

Even someone who knows nothing about landscape painting or so-called techniques will find the visual impact indescribable when a magnificent 11.95-meter-long scroll is displayed before them, with its vibrant green tones of "emerald peaks rising and blue waters stretching to the sky," still dazzling after thousands of years.

The entire painting depicts undulating mountains, winding rivers, fishing villages and towns, birds and boats, with ever-changing scenery as you move from one step to the next... down to the smallest details such as a person rowing a boat, a small boat, or a thatched hut, all are exquisitely detailed.

Director Yin stood before the painting, carefully examining every detail, his gaze unfocused, murmuring, "A thousand miles of rivers and mountains...a thousand miles of rivers and mountains."

"This verdant green alone has been breathtaking for a thousand years..."

The group admired the scroll in silence for a while, and when they saw the beginning of the scroll, they noticed that there were many seals and text on it.

"The eighth day of the intercalary fourth month of the third year of Zhenghe..." A dancer read the words aloud, but got stuck halfway through because she didn't know a word. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she blushed with embarrassment and didn't dare to continue reading.

Director Yin chuckled and said, "These characters have a remarkable history."

"How about we let Zhi Qiu explain it to everyone? You should know quite a bit about this painting."

The time allotted for a visit is limited, so it's impossible to just look at the paintings. You also need to understand the background of the paintings in order to move from a superficial appreciation to a better understanding of their artistic conception.

All 18 dancers turned their gazes toward Ye Zhi Qiu, their eyes filled with curiosity and doubt.

In their view, it was quite amazing that Ye Zhi Qiu, who was about the same age as them, maybe a few years older, knew so much about a national treasure-level ancient painting.

Ye Zhi Qiu knew that this was Director Yin's "mini-test" of him, so he did not refuse and generously said, "Then I will share my views. If there is anything wrong, please correct me, Director Yin."
