The Painting of Women's History Proverbs is the most famous collection of Chinese calligraphy and painting in the British Museum. It was created by Gu Kaizhi, a painter of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, according to the story in the Painting of Women's History Proverbs. The lines are thin, strong and smooth, and the characters look like people. It is said that the picture book is the earliest Chinese silk painting in the world today, and is known as the "open book picture" of Chinese art history. This year, the "Women's History" exhibition in the British Museum is the first public appearance of the painting since 2019. In the 91A exhibition hall of the museum, the high-definition patterns on the electronic exhibition board and the millennium ancient paintings in the exhibition cabinet together build a space for traditional Chinese painting art. Visitors stop to enjoy and feel the charm of Chinese painting and calligraphy. The re appearance of the National Treasure Story "Women's History" has attracted the attention of the overseas Chinese media "European Times". So far, the guided videos released by its own We Media account "London Season" have received more than 10000 likes on WeChat video account and Tiktok. In order to decipher the story of painting roll restoration, Yan Zhenyu, the deputy editor in chief of the British edition of the European Times, and Tian Haoxuezi, a reporter, went to the Oriental Painting and Calligraphy Restoration Room of the British Museum to interview Qiu Jinxian, the restorer of the Women's History and the only Chinese ancient painting restorer in the British museum circle. The techniques of "painting with boiling water", color matching with ancient ink, and sticking silk under a microscope are reported one by one. Tian Haoxuezi was particularly impressed by the repair method of "fake painting to repair treasures": Qiu Jinxian used the contemporary fake painting fragments as the material to repair the broken national treasures, which was integrated with the ink on the silk, making the long sleeping story rejuvenated. A series of reports recorded the story of Qiu Jinxian's restoration of Chinese cultural relics in Britain for more than 30 years. After the report was issued, Tencent's video broadcast volume quickly exceeded 800000 times and was reprinted by many multimedia; After being translated into English, it was played 83000 times in Youtu. In the restoration room, Qiu Jinxian's superb restoration skills, open-minded and peaceful mentality, and firm belief in protecting cultural relics have deeply touched Yan Zhenyu. In the exhibition hall where the charm of cultural relics is displayed, Zhao Kui, the commentator, told a group of Chinese visitors in Han suits about the life experience of the painting. In 2015, Zhao Kui joined a museum interpretation studio in the UK. As one of the "treasures of the museum" in the British Museum, the "Women's History" is the focus of Zhao Kui's explanation whether the scroll is on display or not. Zhao Kui and the Women's History Proverbs are "old friends". On the basis of reading a lot of relevant academic literature and online materials, Zhao Kui collected detailed pictures of the state of the paintings when Emperor Qianlong collected them, and the damage of the paintings when they were lost overseas, and showed them to the audience through tablets. Zhao Kui also asked the Chinese cultural experts in the Oriental Art Museum of the British Museum to verify the suspicious information. The British Museum currently has a collection of more than 23000 Chinese cultural relics. Zhao Kui was glad that they had an independent exhibition space, the China Pavilion, and regretted the scarcity of ancient Chinese folk costumes in the museum. Therefore, on the occasion of the exhibition of "Women's History Proverbs", Zhao Kui planned to let some audiences wear Han costumes to watch the exhibition, adding a fresh booth for traditional Chinese clothing. Chinese ancient costumes and paintings complement each other in the same scene, which has won the admiration of many British local visitors. "See
