The Relationship Between the Buried Environment of Chinese Cultural Relics and the State of Their Unearthed Preservation
Abstract
In recent years, a large number of cultural relics have been unearthed in China, but the state of their preservation is not optimistic. The root cause is that cultural relics have been buried underground for nearly a thousand years, and the sudden environmental changes such as temperature, humidity, light radiation and air conditions after the excavation have broken the balance formed before, which naturally has a great impact on cultural relics. This paper mainly studies the relationship between the buried environment of Chinese cultural relics and the preservation status of excavations, emphasizes the important connection between the two, and finds some factors for the better preservation status of cultural relics unearthed. Through case analysis, comparative analysis and other research methods, this paper finds that no matter the buried environment is good or bad, the changes of the buried environment and the sudden changes of the unearthed environment are the core influences of the preservation status of cultural relics. In other words, the destruction of balance is the greatest damage to cultural relics,
