Why are few people doing cultural relics restoration in China? Are you tired?

Compared with some popular jobs, cultural relics restoration is not only difficult but also a relatively poor occupation, so the number of employees has been very small. Most people want to find a job with high salary and easy work, so jobs in finance, computer and other industries are the first choice for most people, while the unpopular work of cultural relics restorer is rarely concerned. Some people even like the restoration of cultural relics, but in order to get higher income, they will eventually choose to leave the industry.

In addition to low wages and unpopularity, the restoration of cultural relics also tests a person's patience. Restoring a cultural relic is a great thing, but it is also a very difficult and time-consuming job. The restoration of cultural relics requires great patience of practitioners, because the damaged cultural relics themselves are very fragile and cannot be underestimated. Repairing them also requires a person's great patience and concentration. Even so, the restoration of cultural relics is likely to fail.

Some cultural relics that are difficult to repair even take several years to repair successfully, which is why most people are unwilling to try. People in modern society generally like to pursue a fast-paced life, and it is difficult for anyone to be calm and bear loneliness. Impetuousness is the taboo of cultural relics restoration. A little carelessness, not only cultural relics can not be repaired, but may even disappear completely in this world. This is a very difficult job.

Moreover, due to the long-term neglect, the current cultural relics restorers are older, and some restoration skills have been completely lost because there are no descendants. Young people have gone to find other jobs, and few people are willing to study as cultural relics restorers. Moreover, even if someone has the ability to restore cultural relics, due to economic pressure and the desire for money, most cultural relics restorers will eventually quit to some gold-absorbing industries. It can be said that at present, the attention and employment situation of cultural relics restoration work are not optimistic.
