    Abstract:

    The principle of minimum intervention, one of the important principles guiding the restoration of paper relics, is to keep restoration to a minimum. The restoration of Ming Hongwu silver tickets collected in the Temple of Heaven adhered to this principle. Thin Edgeworthia chrysantha paper was used for restoration, not only for the primary purpose of paper reinforcement, but also to enhance the identifiability of the damage on the basis of retaining the original appearance. Because there are characters on both sides of the silver tickets, a storage setting was made by making a sunken shape and inlaying cardboard to protect the silver tickets. The front was covered using Edgeworthia chrysantha paper having high light transmittance as a paper curtain, which could be lifted up for easy display. Named “roller blind inlay”, this binding form can meet the dual needs of collection and exhibition. The restoration and storage method feature less paste consumption and a smaller bonding area. The protection concept could provide reference for the preservation of single-leaf paper documents.
