BEIJING: In the painting and calligraphy cultural relics restoration group affiliated with the department of conservation and restoration of the Palace Museum in Beijing, inspired by China's imperial palace from 1420 to 1911, experts are busy restoring a plaque with the words "jiangshan wandai" — the dynasty will linger through generations.
Ma Yue, the 42-year-old deputy head of the group, says the calligraphy on the plaque comprises a layer of silk that the ink was on, and a layer of paper that supports the silk.
