Restoring the Old Book

Song Jing, who is a 34-year-old “book doctor”,     1     (make) her way to the ancient books division after graduating from Beijing University in 2015. She has been working in the restoration division for ancient books at the National Library of China in Beijing for eight years.

At the moment, Song and her colleagues are working on restoring a copy of Yongle Dadian, an encyclopedia     2     (create) in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). After receiving the challenge, it took Song and her colleagues six months to research and decide on     3     to restore the books. To restore them to their     4     (origin) form, they need to gather information from various sources, such as images and texts, before they can figure out their binding (装订) style and repair them accordingly.

In the past, restorers had to rely on their experience to determine the materials appropriate     5     (use). As technology develops, they are able to use a new method to finish the task through microscopes.     6    , ancient-book restoration still requires essential manual skills, including cutting and brushing paper and binding. Apart from this,     7     restoration process also requires strong control. Unless the pressure of touching books     8     (control) in a proper way during the brushing process, the paper will tear; if the touch is too light, the paper won’t stick.

“    9     (hopeful), I can be of some help in inspiring more young people to find their lifelong passion     10     cultural heritage preservation,” said Song.
