The beauty of the chinese bronze sculpture does not rely on the vigorous lines

Cleaning methods are mainly mechanical and chemical methods. In practice, the choice is to go through the analysis method, and select a small area of the first part of pre-cleaning tests. Chemical cleaning method will cause secondary pollution objects, so choices must be cautious in the use of objects after going to a clean surface to remove the residual solution to ensure the safety of objects. Look at famed dings in Shang and early Zhou, the animal-mask yue, the thunder patterns all over the bronze sculpture. Cleaning is a serious and careful work, in a sense, it is also a continuation of archaeological excavations, the archaeological site can compensate for defects arising from conditions for archaeological research provides more subtle information. For this type of porous ceramic materials, reinforcement is very important, not only can prevent reinforcement layer from the surface decoration pottery, for the more fragile objects, through the reinforcement can also make it more robust and complete.

Reinforcement agent selection is the most important reinforcement work, it must have the following characteristics: reversible, anti-UV, anti-biological erosion, good permeability, are inert materials, chemical stability. Often choose thermoplastic reinforcement agents, such as polyvinyl butyral resin 0.2% - 10% alcohol solution, acrylic resins, acrylic emulsions, silicone solution, for the painted pottery, glazed pottery before washing, as the case may choose 2 - 2% of pre-made acrylic resin reinforcement. The kui dragon and kui phoenix on the bronze statue is intertwined taotie design.  After washing utensils after reinforcement, the choice of pre-adhesive paper tape, and the shape of the objects to be aware of the relative position of parts, the choice of a good adhesive, the operation can be implemented. Generally two types of adhesives, thermoplastic and thermosetting.

The former because of its raw materials from plant fiber, bronze is a linear structure of the polymer in the solvent evaporation harden, but it can dissolve in organic solvents, is a reversible adhesive, but the strength of the poor. The latter by the adhesive, curing agent composed of two parts, the reaction to form three-dimensional structure of the polymer, is not reversible, but its strength is good. Practical work, are often used in the latter. The beauty of the chinese bronze sculpture does not rely on the vigorous lines of the image. Particular attention to the adhesive bond before being spread on the area of 2% acrylic resin, acrylic resin can be dissolved in acetone or trichloroethane, reversible, we can use this feature to its transformation is not reversible thermosetting adhesive, making rehabilitation more rational, scientific, and use better materials for future repair provides a more convenient conditions. In previous work, this is often overlooked, should arouse enough attention.

In addition, the repair adhesive chosen objects themselves but also the texture and harmony, compatibility, if the device material to loose, brittle, then the adhesive strength should not be too much, or destruction of objects is a . The high-relief decorations of the bronze dragon express an infinite primitive emotion right to the point. In short, the adhesive force should be the weakest part of the force with the same materials to be bonded with adhesive bonding strength between the adhesive layer should be higher than the internal cohesion of small. To archaeologists, historians, scientific research, provide more complete information, while giving the museum audience, artifacts from the aesthetic point of view presents the historical and artistic value, to perform its social educational function. For Broken serious artifacts, we should use up all the way to accomplish the display of bronze art and research requirements.
