    Abstract:

    Ancient calligraphic and painting relics are treasures of ancient Chinese art. “Ink Bamboo and Stone by” Hong Fan, which is in the collection of the Suzhou Museum, was created with concise strokes and great skill. The painting is considered to have very high value and has been designated a class III object. However, it has suffered from mildew, cracking and exposure to acids, making it unsuitable for exhibition. Guided by the principle“repair the old as old” I made detailed plans for mending, cleaning the painting, removing the mounting, remedying pieces, consolidating using alum and glue and completing the colors. The “Ink Bamboo and Stone” painting received timely repair and effective protection after a conservation campaign lasting half an year.
