Why is it so difficult to repair ancient books? What should I do if I want to spread the culture of historic sites?

China is a country with a long history, and ancient books bear this long history. There are a large number of ancient books in China, which have been handed down from generation to generation and contain the essence of China culture. There are about100000 kinds of ancient books handed down now, but they are not well preserved. Many ancient book restorers have been trying hard to repair, but the work of ancient book restoration is still progressing very slowly. Why is it so difficult to repair ancient books?

One is that ancient books are seriously damaged, which is a problem in many libraries. Many ancient books are seriously damaged and cannot be read, which brings great problems to restorers. In the process of spreading, ancient books not only suffered from natural erosion, but also experienced man-made destruction. Over time, paper becomes fragile and will break when touched. Secondly, many ancient books entered the library through purchase, collection and donation. Books are preserved to varying degrees before entering the library, and some ancient books are even damaged. The third is the issue of funds. The restoration of ancient books has not been paid enough attention, resulting in insufficient equipment and personnel. Fourth, people were damaged in the process of borrowing books, and many people didn't have a sense of protection when reading books, which led to some ancient books being damaged in the later borrowing process.

So what should we do to spread cultural heritage? In fact, with the deepening of people's understanding of the protection of ancient books, the process of repairing ancient books has become more and more professional, mainly to repair and try to maintain the original flavor of ancient books. For professionals, in the process of restoration, we should keep the original intention of the book and don't put too many subjective factors into it. In the equipment and materials used to repair ancient books, attention should be paid to the composition so as not to cause irreversible damage to ancient books. In the process of restoration, we should pay attention to the protection of ancient books, such as putting them in a specific environment to prolong their life. For the public, when borrowing ancient books in the library, we should pay attention to turning pages gently, and try to take them lightly to reduce the wear and tear of ancient books.
