Recently, Shaanxi Institute of Archaeology restored the murals of Li Daojian's tomb in the Tang Dynasty. Li Daojian was the great-grandson of Tang Gaozu in the Tang Dynasty, and he belonged to the nobility in the Tang Dynasty. His grave was stolen by grave robbers, and they also destroyed murals. Fortunately, this mural is still lifelike after the renovation. The complete restoration of tomb murals can reflect the development of an era and is of great significance to archaeological work. At the same time, the improvement of restoration technology will contribute to the restoration of ancient cultural relics in the future.
First, the tomb murals are completely restored, from which we can see the development of an era. Li Daojian is the great-grandson of Tang Gaozu. In the Tang Dynasty, he was a prince and grandson, and also held an important position in the palace. Naturally, his life is rich. Li Daojian's tomb is rich in content, located in Fuping County, Shaanxi Province, but its tomb has been stolen many times, so the murals inside have been seriously damaged. This restoration reproduces the tomb murals and aristocratic life in the Tang Dynasty. The murals are mainly ladies, with songs and dances, landscapes and all kinds of rare treasures, showing the prosperity at that time. Therefore, the restoration of murals can be said to be of great significance.
The second is to provide technical support for the restoration of related antiquities in the future. Shaanxi Institute of Archaeology has achieved great success in this restoration, and restored the tomb murals to a great extent, which is the progress of restoration technology. This progress can not only restore the murals of Li Daojian's tomb, but also be used for similar antiquities in the future, so this restoration also provides technical and material help for future restoration.
Third, restore the integrity and value of murals. All the value of antiquities stems from its age and rarity. The murals in Li Daojian's tomb are undoubtedly precious, but if they are incomplete, their value will be greatly reduced. Archaeologists used modern technology and materials to restore this mural and restore its value.
