“彩绘兵马俑的保护修复工作,就像医院给病人看病,我们是兵马俑的专科医生,这间屋子就是博物院里的‘文物医院’。”秦始皇帝陵博物院文物修复专家兰德省说。
"We are the Terracotta Warriors specialists, and this room is a 'hospital' for the relics in the museum," said Lan Desheng, an expert in the restoration of cultural relics with the Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum.
考古显示,兵马俑的服饰上有朱红、粉绿、紫、蓝、赭等十几种颜色。埋在地下两千余年的彩绘秦俑经过火烧水淹,其彩绘层十分脆弱。出土后,随着湿度和温度发生变化,表面很快失水,漆面迅速卷曲剥落。除此之外,微生物、可溶盐等因素也是引发秦俑褪色的重要原因。
Archaeological research shows that pigments have been found on the Terracotta Warriors. The painted layers of the Terracotta Warriors are very fragile. Once unearthed, with the changes of humidity and temperature, the surface quickly dehydrates and the painted layer comes off. In addition, microorganisms, soluble salts and other factors also cause the color fading.
据兰德省介绍,每一件带有彩绘的兵马俑一经出土,就要经过X光射线探伤、超声波检测、三维图像采集等程序,之后还要经过现状记录、清理、加固、拼对粘接、补全,然后绘图、建立保护修复档案、留观等步骤,最后归还考古及藏品管理部门,成为一位带有“身份证号”的彩绘秦俑战士。近年来,兰德省和他的修复团队已修复兵马俑140余件。
According to Lan, shortly after unearthing, each painted Terracotta Warrior must go through X-ray detection, ultrasonic scanning, 3D images acquisition and other procedures. Staff members clean and restore the pieces of the painted Terracotta Warriors using slim bamboo slips, scalpels, small brushes, etc. Every Terracotta Warrior also has its own ID. In recent years, Lan and his team have completed the restoration of more than 140 Terracotta Warriors.
1974年3月,秦兵马俑的发现震惊世界。1987年,秦始皇帝陵及兵马俑坑被联合国教科文组织列入《世界遗产名录》。
Discovered in 1974 and listed as a world heritage site by UNESCO in 1987, the army of Terracotta Warriors was built by Emperor Qinshihuang of the Qin Dynasty (221 B.C.-207 B.C.).
