The old things I repaired have become fine

Chapter 268: Teacher Zhang: I would rather accept you as my apprentice than accept a wooden box
The alloy boss rolled up a whirlwind and rushed out at high speed. Shen Le shouted behind him, but the other party turned a deaf ear to him. He could only shake his head and let this guy go:
Take a satellite map and check it against a landscape painting? This idea is very creative, and I wish you good luck with this success rate.

If nothing else, just take the various ancient maps stored in the library, erase the place names, and find out which city it belongs to.

Shen Le felt that since he couldn't find it anyway, it was hard for him to imagine that anyone could find it.

As for finding the Holy Grail by following those strange clues in "The Da Vinci Code", such as "Mona Lisa's Smile", he could only say...

Well, it’s just fiction, it’s just fiction.

Not to mention, ancient Chinese landscape paintings did not use a bird's-eye view or a bird's-eye view of the map, but a scattered perspective.

In the Song Dynasty, Guo Xi wrote "Linquan Gaozhi", in which he proposed the "three distances" perspective method of "high distance", "deep distance" and "flat distance";
Later, Han Zhuo added "broad and distant", "mysterious and distant", and "remote and distant" in his "Complete Collection of Landscape Paintings", collectively calling them the "Six Distances".

With these "six distances", the artistic conception of the landscape painting is of course high, deep and profound, with endless mountains and rivers. However, when comparing it with the map, it is simply black before my eyes:
You don't even have a standard basis, what are you right about!!!
Shen Le waved at the Alloy Boss's back and wished him good luck. He also opened the satellite map and began to search on the map according to his memory:

As far as I can remember, which city was the place where the boy and the girl made an appointment to hunt?
How far will it spread out near that city, based on the light and shadow, the mountains and rivers?
Where are the mountains, the people and horses in the mountains, and the red flag held high by the riders in that painting?

Could it be that the place where the red flag landed and the position of the team of people are on the gold foil, which may be the location of the entrance to the formation?

——Of course, there is also a possibility that the place where the red flag landed is not the entrance to the formation, but a location that contains some kind of information.

Once you get there, you still have to search for it on the spot and find your destination based on various clues.

Shen Le moved the satellite map around, zooming in and out. However, he didn't have the talent to translate a scattered perspective map into a bird's-eye view. He looked around and was confused:
This bird's-eye view doesn't even have contour lines!
He couldn't even count the hills one by one, in the way presented in calligraphy and painting, in the horizontal rows and vertical columns. There was a river here...

Shen Le struggled for a long time, finally gave up and fell asleep. In his dream, he seemed to see a girl in a carriage under a candle, frowning and trying to study a difficult history book:
"Ah...what on earth does this mean..."

“How on earth did they do this…”

"So there is such a method..."

"Why do the Han people care about this kind of thing... What is the use of this inexplicable thing?"

Come on, girl. Shen Le smiled in his dream:
A broken heart does not mean losing everything. Even if you are forced to marry an unsatisfactory man, it does not mean losing everything.

You still have a long life ahead of you, and there are still many things you can do. There are more than one nomadic girl who went from being a slave to becoming a queen!
He had a sound sleep, and when he woke up the next day, the Alloy Boss was still staring with his bronze eyes, desperately searching for clues on the map.

Shen Le laughed at him and could only plunge into the restoration of the ancient paintings, hoping that the restoration work could provide more clues.

Teacher Zhang didn't stay with me until the end yesterday, but he came to the studio today and checked the condition of the painting. He was satisfied:
"Okay, next, it's time to support the painting! Hey, you actually skipped some steps..."

In normal splicing and repair, after gluing the patched silk, folding strips should be pasted on the damaged and cracked areas for reinforcement.

So a painting looks clean and fresh from the front, but when you turn it over, it is full of paper or silk strips, like someone who lost a poker game and had paper strips all over his face;

But when Shen Le repaired it in this way, the repairing silk was allowed to "grow" directly on the original painting core, and the painting core was reinforced with silk fibroin, which greatly improved the strength of those cracked places.

There is no need for “folding strips”, and naturally there is no need to teach him the skill of pasting “folding strips”.

Teacher Zhang's dragon-slaying skills have lost another place to be used...

Therefore, they directly jumped to the step of supporting the painting core, which is to stick the painting paper - specially selected rice paper - to the back of the painting core.

According to the agreement, Teacher Zhang was going to teach Shen Le how to dye fate paper and how to determine what color the "two colors lighter than the center of the painting" was.

So, Teacher Zhang asked Shen Le to dig out a bunch of ancient paintings and line them up on the workbench. He folded his hands in front of his chest and leaned back:
"Come on, arrange the pictures from left to right and from top to bottom according to the intensity of their colors!"

Shen Le: “…”

Is this for me to play Spot the Difference or Super Connect?
He completed his work with tears in his eyes. He held these ancient paintings, which were not precious but fragile enough, carefully and moved them on the workbench over and over again.

You have to apply force evenly and take into account the cracked and scattered parts. For some parts that are particularly broken, you have to use your mental strength to hold them in place.

After just moving these ancient paintings once, beads of sweat appeared on Shen Le's forehead and he had to sit down to rest.

Teacher Zhang had been watching coldly, and only then did he give him some advice:
“You’re too nervous… The more nervous you are, the stiffer you become, and the less able you are to react quickly.

Relax, although these ancient paintings are fragile, they are not as fragile as you think, and they can be repaired."

Shen Le smiled bitterly. Unless he thought, "I just collected these paintings for practice, I can afford to ruin them," he really couldn't relax.

I don't know how the teachers in the museum can easily deal with those rare ancient paintings. Perhaps, only after enough practice and hard work can one achieve effortlessness?
In short, the feeling of relaxation is definitely not the kind that can be achieved by hanging the five-ring flag upside down and still smiling and not caring at all...

He moved the painting around, looked at it left and right, up and down, compared it horizontally and vertically, and felt like he was about to become cross-eyed. Everything he saw was earthy yellow and he couldn't tell the difference at all.

If he could fold the two paintings and stack them close together to compare them, he would probably be able to tell which one is darker and which one is lighter.

However, each painting was half a foot apart, and there was a framed edge in between, so he couldn't do it...

"The one on the left is obviously lighter than the one on the right!"

"This one is darker than the one next to it! How can you not see that?"

"This is in the wrong position! Move it one space to the left? Or two spaces to the left? Ask yourself! Why are you asking me?"

Every scolding meant that Shen Le had to move two, three, or even more scrolls.

In fact, Shen Le would rather move the stones than these fragile ancient paintings. Stones, even a rockery weighing one ton, would not consume his physical strength so much!
Every time you move, you are fighting against yourself!

"Teacher, why don't we use the instrument..." Shen Le's face was filled with pain:
"Anyway, we have a spectrophotometer. I'll take the readings and write them down. You can just tell me what the difference is if it's one point or two points, and that'll be all..."

"you……"

Teacher Zhang looked at him with a look of disappointment. This kind of purely scientific thinking is what those who work with materials and engineering do, and that’s all they can do.

Workers who restore calligraphy and paintings particularly need to have a good sense of aesthetics. How can they rely solely on instruments?

This kind of student deserves a good scolding!
No, forget it. After all, he is not my disciple, and he is not a professional painter and calligrapher. Just let him complete the task. His identity is actually Party A, Party A...

Before Teacher Zhang could figure out what was going on, a colorful light flew up from the corner of the room, landed on the ancient paintings, and condensed into different shades of yellow.

These yellow lights merged with the ancient paintings, with no difference in depth at all. They stopped for a while, then flew up one by one, hanging in the air.

"Lanzhuang?"

Shen Le was stunned for a moment, looking at the dressing box that was placed in the corner of the studio and preserved in the name of "display of restoration results."

As expected, a piece of colorful light flew up from the dressing box, flowing and twisting, showing a WeChat smiley face symbol. Shen Le had a headache:
"Lan Zhuang, are you mocking me or are you really out of date?... Now the meaning of this symbol is 'hehe'..."

Teacher Zhang stared in amazement as Shen Le talked to something. And that strange thing could even change light and shadow to communicate with Shen Le.

Pause for a moment, and on each piece of yellow light, Arabic numerals corresponding to the current position of the ancient painting appear.

左起第一行第一列是1-1，第二行第三列是2-3，第三行第五列是3-5……

After another pause, as if to make sure Shen Le had seen it clearly, the yellow light began to move slowly. Two pieces were stacked together, with obvious color difference between the upper and lower parts, the lighter one to the left, and the darker one to the right;
Stack the two pieces together and you can see the obvious color difference. Then turn left and right...

In less than five minutes, a large area of yellow light formed a single line in front of Shen Le, from left to right, from light to dark.

After another pause, they changed from a single row to a square array, with clear numbers on them, as if telling Shen Le:

You see, it’s very simple. We can find out the answer by comparing it like this, right?
Alas, Lan Zhuang's efficiency in ten minutes (?) is higher than his efficiency in the whole morning. Even so, I guess he still needs to see it clearly, otherwise, maybe one minute will be enough?

Shen Le was stunned for ten seconds, sighed, and moved the scroll with a droopy head. Teacher Zhang looked left and right, right and left, and finally, her eyes focused on the dressing box under the colorful light:

"It was just now..."

"Yes, it is this dressing box that is communicating with me." Shen Le was dejected:
"It's much better than me in terms of color... If it hadn't had hands and couldn't hold a brush, it would also be much better than me in terms of painting..."

Teacher Zhang: “…”

So why did I work so hard to teach you these?
Rather than taking you as my apprentice, I might as well take a wooden box as my apprentice!

　Catherine I, Queen Shager-dur of King Saleh of Egypt, and Queen Hurrem of Salaman of the Ottoman Empire all ascended to the throne of empress from female slaves, which was much lower than Wu Zetian's starting point...
