Ancient book restoration skills, a traditional skills project in the fourth batch of representative projects of municipal intangible cultural heritage. In the history of ancient book restoration, our ancestors have summarized and invented many methods to protect precious ancient books. From the construction of library buildings, the selection of materials for bookcases to the matching of paper and pulping for ancient book restoration and various corresponding restoration techniques, by the time of the Republic of China, there were various schools of ancient book restoration in Shanghai, Jiangsu, Yangzhou, Beijing, Sichuan, Anhui, and Tianjin, each with its own unique skills: the Sichuan school "resurrection", the Beijing school "perfect match", the Tianjin school "thousand-wave knife", and the Yang school and the Su school "rebirth from the ashes". Later, as the artists grew older, no one followed or they found other ways one after another, and most of them disappeared around 1970. At present, there are more than 30 million ancient books and documents collected by libraries and museums across my country, which are in serious damage and urgently need rescue restoration, but there is an extreme shortage of talents in ancient book restoration across the country. Nanjing Mochou Vocational School adheres to the concept of "inheriting Chinese cultural heritage and cultivating talents with special characteristics". It is the first in the country to open an ancient book restoration major and hire nationally renowned restoration experts to teach. This has enabled the ancient book restoration technology to move from traditional master-apprentice inheritance to formal education, giving this skill that is facing extinction a new life. Over the past decade, this major has grown vigorously and has received high attention and strong support from major libraries and cultural relics units across the country, including the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Culture, the Provincial Department of Education, the Department of Culture, the National Library, the Nanjing Library, the Nanjing University Library, and the Nanjing Museum. It has gradually formed an influence in the industry, and has cooperated with Yangzhou Guangling Engraving Society, Nanjing Yunjin Research Institute and other units to run schools. It has also gone international and opened the "China-Egypt Ancient Book Restoration Forum" and conducted academic exchanges with Tainan University of Applied Sciences. This major cultivates high-quality skilled professionals in document restoration, calligraphy and painting mounting and reproduction, woodblock engraving, and archive management and protection. Systematically study the theory and skills of ancient book restoration, master a variety of restoration methods, and have the ability to repair thread-bound books, fine and paperback books, mount calligraphy and paintings, and reproduce cultural and museum calligraphy and paintings; have the ability to skillfully use instruments such as paper analyzers and determiners to develop scientific ancient book repair plans. Obtain the professional qualification certificate of document restorer, computer ATA certificate, English level certificate, etc. at school. Students are divided into more than 30 cultural and museum and public library collection units across the country for internships.
