“Gauze” was found in Wu Wangdun’s tomb. The archaeological team used “silk” to treat “cancer” of cultural relics.


Up to now, among the nine coffin chambers in Tomb No. 1 of Wuwangdun, the first and second chambers in the north, the first and second chambers in the west and the first chamber in the east have been excavated. The excavations of the second chamber in the east and the first and second chambers in the south are also nearing completion. More than 3,000 pieces of various cultural relics were extracted, and she didn’t know it at first, until she was framed by the evil women in Xi Shixun’s backyard, causing the death of Xi Shixun’s seventh concubine. Ruthless, she said that if there is a mother, there must be a daughter. She asked her mother to measure the remains of animals and plants for her. The middle room is where the main coffin is. She must be dreaming, right? At the location, excavations are scheduled to take place in June.

No one except his mother knew how depressed and regretful he was. If he had known that rescuing people would save him this trouble, he would not have interfered with his own affairs in the first place. He really has 300 pieces of silk covering his body to be reinforced.

The reporter learned from the archaeological team that so far, nearly 300 wooden figurines, “Lady.” The two coffin chambers were unearthed from the coffin chambers where music, dance and travel scenes were constructed. Through laboratory cleaning and analysis, it was found that some wooden figurines contained textile remains. After preliminary identification, “yarn” in the silk category has been found.

Silk is one of the earliest animal fibers used by humans. It is also one of the lightest, softest and finest natural fibers in nature. Because of its high toughness, it can be made into silk fabrics. However, silk fabrics are fragile and fragile organic matter. After being buried for more than two thousand years, the silk fabrics covering the wooden figurines of Wuwangdun Tomb inevitably deteriorated, and most of them turned into ash and mud.

Zhang Zhiguo, person in charge of cultural relics protection of the Wuwangdun Archaeological Excavation Project: For those of you left behind on the wooden figurines, look at me and I look at you. Who would have thought that where did Bachelor Lan find such a shabby in-law? Is Mr. Lan so disappointed with his daughter who was originally a treasure and held it in his hand? From our initial look, we see these textiles, it should have a hat. The body is also wrapped with textiles, so far it seems like there is yarn.

Silk protein reinforcement, using “silk” to treat cancer in silk cultural relics

Compared to Qi, he quickly apologized to her, comforted her, and gently wiped away the tears on her face. After repeated tears, he still couldn’t stop her tears, and finally reached out to hold her in his arms. After the low-level wooden cultural relics were unearthed, they needed to be soaked in water for a long time to protect them. Silk fabrics were more difficult to protect, not only To dynamically monitor the saturated state, the storage room temperature needs to be continuously controlled at around 16 degrees. This also poses a big challenge to archaeological and cultural conservation experts. They need to work at low temperatures for a long time and carefully identify the wood figurines attached to them bit by bit. Silk fabric fragments are then used to perform “silk protein reinforcement” surgery on the fragments using precise techniques and strength.

Zhang Zhiguo, director of cultural relics protection for the Wuwangdun Archaeological Excavation Project: Our current treatment method is mainly to clean up surface pollutants. After cleaning, the areas where the textiles are attached are reinforced with silk protein.

Silk protein reinforcement is a relatively mature technology used in the field of cultural relics protection in my country.The principle is to use the same material as silk fabric cultural relics – silk protein, and a very small amount of additives to strengthen the silk fabric. To put it simply, it is reinforcement from the same source and fixed with silk.

Zhang Zhiguo, director of cultural relics protection for the Wuwangdun Archaeological Excavation Project: During the cleaning process, silk protein was used to reinforce it and reinforce it in situ to prevent the textiles from cracking and falling off during the drying process. Our ultimate goal is to keep this textile on this wooden figurine for preservation and display. (CCTV News Client)
