This resulted in many treasures being directly damaged.
These things have been underground for a long time, and when they suddenly come into contact with the air, many of them are oxidized, which directly damages them and they cannot be restored at all.
The limited technical level and the lack of knowledge on how to protect it led to this result.
These are the archaeological experts, professional talents, who can do such things, not to mention the tomb robbers.
These tomb robbers have no concept of protection, all they have is gold.
They take away the things they think are valuable, and they don't care about those that are not valuable.
Many treasures were destroyed in this way.
There is no way to protect these things. Instead of digging them out all at once, it is better to bury them underground so that they will not be destroyed.
Especially some silk and paper treasures are the most easily damaged.
In the past, there was silk among the things dug out, but they were not protected well and the silk could not be preserved at all. The silk items were the most damaged.
Zhang Weiguo had never encountered anything related to silk. You know, there were many silk items along the Silk Road in the past, but none of them have been preserved.
It is because these things are too easy to be damaged. After being underground for a long time and suddenly exposed to air without good protection measures, they will oxidize within an hour.
There was no time to react and these things were damaged.
This is only part of it. There are various murals in the tombs, and these murals are the same, oxidizing very quickly.
This is also a great loss. These murals are very good and exquisite. If they could be preserved, they would still be national treasures.
Just because I didn’t know anything, I lost a lot of treasures.
Zhang Weiguo still feels very sorry about these things. If Zhang Weiguo were to do it, he would definitely be able to preserve these things and would not let them be destroyed at all.
Those things would be more valuable, and very few are discovered intact and preserved.
If these things could be preserved, their historical value alone would be immeasurable, especially the murals, the content of which is worthy of attention.
Some of these murals depict mythological stories, while others depict the customs and practices of the dynasty. Regardless of what they are, they play a very important role in the study of history.
These things have different values in the eyes of different people.
In the eyes of tomb robbers, it is useless, cannot be taken away, and cannot be sold for any money.
In the eyes of those experts, the value is very high. In the eyes of those mural painters, the value of these things is too high.
A painting by those mural painters is worth tens of thousands of dollars.
The main reason is that the pigments used are expensive. They are all mineral powders, and minerals are very expensive.
This is mainly to pursue realistic effects. In the past, mineral pigments were used. At that time, there were no chemical pigments, so this was the only option.
Now, the prices of these minerals are very expensive, and the price of painting with them is high.
This thing takes a long time to draw. Being able to finish one painting a month is definitely a luxury.
The paint alone for these murals would cost 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, and adding in the painting work, it would be no problem to sell them for 100,000 yuan.
Of course, the people who can afford these paintings are the rich ones, and they don't care about money.
As long as it is something they like, they are willing to spend money to buy it.
Things like this are valuable.
These mural painters only need to sell a few paintings every year.
It’s the same for mural painters and sculptors. Each of their works is priced very high, and they only need to sell two pieces.
However, no one would be willing to spend money to buy someone who is not famous.
You also need to learn how to package yourself and package yourself as a master, so that people will be willing to buy.
This requires someone to hype you up, and the best way is to go to an auction.
Auction your work so that it has value.
Of course, this is all arranged by you in advance.
Buy things at a high price so that your work has value.
Only when something is valuable will others hype it up, and your work will become more and more valuable.
Those contemporary painters who sell their works for tens of millions are all hyped this way.
They have so many works. These people are still alive and they have a lot of works. There is no shortage of them.
When they practiced painting, there were so many different kinds of paintings.
You can draw whenever you want.
How can there be such a high value for so many things?
It depends on whether there is anyone who comes to hype it up.
First of all, your painting has to be recognized by others, which means the level of the painting has to be acceptable.
Then, there is a big boss who specializes in buying your paintings, and you first paint for him for three years.
At this time, the big boss had already collected quite a few paintings and felt that it was time to start hyping them up.
Just take the painting to an auction and buy it back at a high price.
At this time, the paintings collected before also become valuable.
Then, it slowly began to circulate in the market.
Find a few people to hype up these paintings together, you buy mine and I buy yours.
The paintings are still in the hands of these people, but their value has increased a lot.
Then publish these paintings through some media.
In this way, everyone knew that this person's paintings were valuable and started buying them.
When these paintings have been hyped up, the big boss will sell some of his previously collected paintings, thus making a fortune.
For those that are left, continue collecting them.
At this point, the money spent in the early stage has been earned back, so it doesn’t matter even if these paintings are not sold.
As long as this painter does not seek death, his works are valuable.
If something went wrong with him, his paintings would be worthless.
This painter would definitely not do such a thing.
These painters are all very homely. As long as they are painting, they will not leave the studio for a whole day.
They had no communication, no friends, and all they could do was draw.
These people are the easiest to control; as long as you give them paint, they will keep painting.
Lonely travelers, that's them.
I went to the mountains to sketch and stayed there for a month.
The more deserted a place is, the more they go.
We always look for some deserted places, as these places have the best scenery.
The more broken something is, the more they like it.
A dilapidated house and a tree struck by lightning are their favorites.
Their aesthetic is that the uglier something is, the more they like it.
Only things like this can have outstanding features.
These characteristics are the key to their painting.
