How did I become an old artist?

Chapter 153 Restoration after a thousand years!Song Fang Chengxin Tang paper!
All the raw rice paper has been finished, and it took three weeks to produce a total of 92 sheets.

Among them, there are three extremely long sheets of paper, which were made by Zhao Chen connecting many raw rice papers together.

These three pieces of paper are what Zhao Chen prepared for himself to draw "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains".

The high-quality materials that Zhao Chen bought were almost consumed.

Wu Delin, the owner of the paper workshop, came to the workshop, picked up a piece of paper, and looked at it carefully.

The more he looked, the more surprised he became.

This paper is infinitely better than the paper he made himself in the workshop.

It looks very delicate, the surface is smooth, and the texture is also very good.

This kind of paper is used for brush writing, or traditional Chinese painting, it is simply the most perfect drawing paper.

The pen and ink are soaked in it but not scattered, coagulated but not chaotic, and it is also a great enjoyment for creators to paint on it.

Wu Delin felt that what Zhao Chen said before might be true.

This kind of paper is Song Fang Chengxintang paper, the best paper in the history of Huaxia papermaking.

"Master Zhao, is this the real Chengxintang paper?" Wu Delin couldn't help asking, having never seen such a high-level paper.

"We have to wait for the mature announcement to compare. Now it's only close, and some details can't be compared." Zhao Chen replied truthfully.

"If you can really make Chengxintang paper, it is estimated that Huaxia Paper Industry will be shaken." Wu Delin said with emotion.

"It's not that exaggerated, and it may not be exactly the same as the real Song Fang Chengxintang paper." Zhao Chen just replied.

The paper made by Zhao Chen has attracted the attention of the Huaxia Xuan Paper Association.

The Huaxia Xuan Paper Association restored Chengxintang paper from the Qing Dynasty two years ago. They have always wanted to restore the Chengxintang paper from the Song Dynasty, but no museum is willing to provide them with materials.

After all, any Chengxintang paper from the Song Dynasty that survived in this world basically has the works of famous artists on it, and it is a first-class antique cultural relic.

Now that Zhao Chen actually said that he wanted to make Song Dynasty Chengxintang paper, the Xuan Paper Association will inevitably pay attention.

When Zhao Chen was packing up his things and preparing to leave, a member of the Xuan Paper Association came here to visit him, wanting to see the situation of the rice paper made by Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen did not refuse either.

After all, his rice paper will definitely spread in the future, and it will be easy for the Xuan Paper Association to get a few.

Song Wei from the Xuan Paper Association took a piece of paper and immediately looked at it carefully.

He has been in touch with rice paper for many years, and he knows the quality of rice paper all too well.

When he saw the smooth surface of the rice paper, he was stunned!

Is this artificial rice paper?
Only the industrial printing paper made by the machine can have such an effect!

Song Wei stroked the surface of the rice paper lightly. Judging from the touch, it was smooth and delicate, which was indeed the characteristic of Chengxintang paper.

And this piece of paper is very thin, but the quality is very good, so only Chengxintang paper can achieve the effect.

Song Wei wanted to tear open the paper to see how many layers there were, but he knew it was inappropriate to do so, so he could only restrain his curiosity.

"Old Song, how about this paper?" Wu Delin, the owner of the workshop beside him, knew Song Wei and asked directly.

Song Wei looked at him and said, "It is the characteristic of Chengxintang paper, but I have never seen Song Chengxintang paper, so I can't say it is."

"In terms of quality, it is similar to the quality of Chengxintang paper from the Qing Dynasty. They are all top-quality rice paper."

Hearing Song Wei's words, Wu Delin also froze in place.

There was a little shock in the expressions of the two of them.

The imitation of Song Chengxintang paper is about 1000 years ago, and it has long been lost, but now it has been restored.

If those history museums knew, Zhao Chen's status might skyrocket!
He is a provincial master of porcelain art. Although his porcelain is at the pinnacle, it still needs to be recognized and approved by the association, so it is inevitable that there are some restrictions.

However, this time Song Fang Chengxintang paper is different.

He holds the key to repairing cultural relics in his hand. With this kind of paper, many cultural relics can be repaired.

For example, if there is a small hole in a famous painting, the repairing cultural relic engineer will slightly uncover the edge of the hole, then fill in a small piece of paper of the same material, and then use special props to moisten the edge to combine the paper and the cultural relic into one .

After the color is repaired, the cultural relics and ancient paintings will become complete.

And the key to all this is the Song Fang Chengxin Tang paper in Zhao Chen's hand!

"Next, I'm going to Fujian's, where the craft of making cooked propaganda is more traditional."

"This step is also very important. It cannot be done with industrialized machines, otherwise the paper will be destroyed."

"And I need to confirm which process is better, so some of these papers are experimental."

Zhao Chen said to the two of them.

He packed up all the raw rice paper, and after finishing all the luggage, he said goodbye to Wu Delin.

After he left, Wu Delin called Zhao Chen's assistant, Sun Yi, and asked Zhao Chen about the details of making paper.

Sun Yi didn't know what Zhao Chen did, he was just a handyman.

"Boss, I really don't know. He handles the materials by himself, and he also makes the pulp by himself."

"However, when he made paper in the paper trough, he used ice water, and there was a large piece of ice underneath, and the water was also very cold, freezing his hands."

"At that time, I thought that such a low temperature was not good for pulp, but I didn't know that the paper produced was so good."

Sun Yi replied.

"Ice water? Is it effective?" Wu Dezhu was a little puzzled, so he planned to try it with his own materials.

But his attempt was doomed to failure.

The reason why Zhao Chen used ice water was because in the Song Dynasty, the workshop that made Chengxintang paper would choose to use frozen water in winter to ensure that the water was clean and clear.

After all, silt and sand are sundries and cannot be mixed into the paper, otherwise it is a shoddy product.

Modern technology can already ensure clean water, so this step is unnecessary.

The reason why Zhao Chen did this was to ensure that the paper produced was the same as Chengxintang paper from the Song Dynasty.

In this way, it can be exactly the same as the Chengxintang paper on the cultural relics.

Zhao Chen went straight to Fujian's paper-making workshop.

Next, he has to carry out another step, which is trial and error.

Thirty sheets of paper, cooked rice paper made in different ways, and then compared.

He wanted to find paper that was exactly the same as Song Fang Chengxintang paper.

During the video shooting, Zhao Chen used a drone to record live.

In the picture, netizens saw more than 30 sheets of paper hanging in a room, some of which were dark yellow in color, and some of which were pure white.

Zhao Chen stood in front of these papers, paying attention to the details of the papers bit by bit.

He was completely immersed in it.

This scene has the feeling of an artist pursuing the ultimate in art.

The artistic conception of the picture is too high.

Zhao Chen picked up a piece of paper and looked at it carefully.

He recalled in his mind the touch of Song Fang Chengxintang paper he once touched, and that delicate feeling was awakened in his body little by little.

At this time, Zhao Chen picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and lightly sketched on a piece of paper.

The pen ink soaks into the paper, leaving color quickly.

Zhao Chen carefully looked at the traces left by pen and ink on the paper.

"No."

"The color is similar, but the paper doesn't feel right."

Zhao Chen shook his head and sighed.

Each kind of paper has a different writing effect.

He wants to find the most perfect effect.

Then, Zhao Chen picked up the second piece of paper and looked at it carefully.

This time, the surface of the paper is too delicate, and the alum is a bit heavy. In this case, the ink painting produced does not have any ink rhyme, and it cannot be regarded as a high-quality rice paper.

Just like that, Zhao Chen carefully looked at each piece of paper.

Until he picked up a piece of paper with a surface as smooth as jade.

When his fingers stroked the paper lightly, the smooth feeling was very clear.

"That's it!"

Zhao Chen's eyes lit up.

Then, he picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and couldn't wait to write a character Zhao.

The ink soaks into the paper very quickly.

Zhao Chen carefully checked the ink rhyme, the ink quickly left traces on the paper, but it didn't disperse, it just smudged a little and was collected in time.

"I found it. This is Song Fang Chengxintang Paper."

"We must quickly record the method of handling it."

A look of excitement appeared on Zhao Chen's face, and he hurriedly recorded how to deal with this piece of paper.

The drone has been quietly broadcasting this picture.

Zhao Chen didn't care about the effect of the live broadcast either, but the number of people in his live broadcast room has always been quite large.

[Has the master made it? 】

[These papers look exactly the same to me, what difference can there be? 】

[This is the difference between a boss and an ordinary person! 】

[Brother Chen is a great artist, his pursuit must be different from ours. 】

The barrage immediately became lively.

Zhao Chen recorded the processing process of Shengxuan, and then he put away all the rest of the paper. Although these papers are of high quality, they are useless.

Zhao Chen made a total of 92 sheets of paper, 62 of which were used to test the effect of Shuxuan, and there were [-] sheets left.

Next, Zhao Chen started busy again in the workshop.

He wants to make all the remaining 62 sheets of paper into Song Fang Chengxintang paper!
Meanwhile, the Palace Museum.

Zhao Chen is very popular now, not only has he made great achievements in the field of art, he is also doing well in the live broadcast industry.

Therefore, his affairs can basically spread all over the Internet very quickly.

In the office, a doctoral apprentice in his 30s asked an old man:
"Professor Lin, have you seen the Song Fang Chengxintang paper that Zhao Chen is making?"

"Isn't this kind of paper what the museum has been looking for from the people?"

Hearing the apprentice's question, Lin Aijun raised his eyes and looked at him as if.

"Xiao Zhang, what we are looking for is the cultural relic of Chengxintang paper imitated by Song Dynasty. It is equivalent to blank paper. Such paper almost does not exist anymore."

"No matter how good the paper made by modern people is, it cannot be the same as the paper of cultural relics."

Lin Aijun said.

"But, wouldn't it be enough to make it old? If the material is the same, after making it old, those cultural relics can be repaired!" Zhang Xiang added.

"You're right." Lin Aijun nodded, but then sighed: "But how can anyone make paper that is exactly the same as Chengxintang paper in the Song Dynasty? At most, it's close, as long as the paper is different."

"Paper is equivalent to the organs of the human body. If an organ is damaged and needs to be replaced, it is necessary to find a fully suitable one. If there is a slight difference, there will be rejection, and it will only destroy the whole."

"It's hard to find organs like this! Even the Palace Museum doesn't have blank Chengxintang papers in stock."

"Where else can I find it?"
