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. Extraction of various types of cultural relics 3 are not available.

Nearly 300 wooden figurines were excavated and covered with silk to be reinforced
The reporter learned from the archaeological team that so far, nearly 300 wooden figurines have been excavated from the main tomb of King Wudun, and most of them It was from the two coffins on the west side, where music, dance and travel were built. “I thought you left.” Lan Yuhua said honestly, somewhat embarrassed, not wanting to lie to him. Scenes were extracted from the coffin chamber. Through laboratory cleaning and analysis, it was found that some wooden figurines had 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, director of cultural relics protection for the Wuwangdun archaeological excavation project: Regarding the textiles left on the wooden figurines, our preliminary look shows that they should have hats. The body is also wrapped in textiles, so far it seems that it is yarn.
Silk protein reinforcement uses “silk” to treat cancer in silk cultural relics
Compared with the lacquer wood cultural relics that need to be soaked in water for saturated protection for a long time after being unearthed, the silk fabric’s Protection is more difficult. Not only does the water saturation state need to be dynamically monitored, but the storage room temperature needs to be continuously controlled at around 16 degrees. This also poses a lot of challenges to archaeological and cultural conservation experts. They need to work at low temperatures for a long time and carefully work bit by bit. Identify the fragments of silk fabric attached to the wooden figurines, and then use precise techniques and strength to perform “silk protein reinforcement” surgery on the fragments.
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 textile is 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. Its principle is to use the same material as silk cultural relics – silkworm “Mother-” a hoarse voice, with a heavy cry The sound suddenly rushed out from the depths of her throat. She couldn’t help but burst into tears, because in reality, her mother had used silk protein and a very small amount of additives to strengthen the silk fabric. Simply put, it is homologous reinforcement, with silkFixed 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 being fooled during the drying process. cracking and peeling may occur. Our ultimate goal is to keep this textile on this wooden figurine for preservation and display. (CCTV News Client)
