CIVILIZATION CONSERVATION BUREAU
Building a Knowledge Gradient from Foundational to Frontier
Jin Yi Zhai does not merely restore artworks — we restore the ruptures of civilization itself.
Through systematic instruction, we pass on ancient craft. Through rigorous science, we define the standard.
Educate
EDUCATEEstablishing a knowledge gradient from foundational mastery to frontier expertise — the synchronized evolution of "hand" and "mind."
Traditional Curriculum
Core Content: A systematic curriculum based on the "Su-school" mounting and conservation tradition.
- Fundamental Materials Science: Identification and treatment of paper, ink, silk, and gauze — understanding their unique properties.
- Core Techniques: Hands-on demonstration of the four fundamental procedures — washing, unmounting, patching, and lining.
- Form & Aesthetics: Classical mounting proportions and color coordination for album leaves, hanging scrolls, and horizontal scrolls.
"Emphasizing the union of oral transmission and muscle memory — replicating the core methodologies passed from the first through third generations."
Cloud Courseware Project
IN DEVELOPMENTProject Overview: The Jin Yi Zhai Cloud Course initiative — digital frontier education that transcends geographical barriers.
- AI-Powered Learning: Leveraging our proprietary professional AI large model to provide the most scientifically rigorous auxiliary learning framework, ensuring exceptional teaching quality and efficiency through personalized knowledge mapping and intelligent difficulty adjustment.
- Online Courseware: Standardized instructional videos recorded through 4K HD macro photography.
- Practice Kits: Delivery of specialized conservation tools and period-simulated practice materials.
Research
RESEARCHExploring the boundaries of conservation science with the spirit of empiricism.
Past Cases
Archives: Showcasing Jin Yi Zhai's representative conservation achievements spanning a century.
Academic Research
- Conservation Ethics: Examining how to balance "restoring as old" versus "artistic reconstruction" within cross-cultural contexts.
- Technique Archaeology: Documentary and material verification of endangered mounting formats through scholarly investigation.
- Industry Standard Recommendations: Participating in the formulation of Chinese painting conservation protocols recognized by the international museum community.
