(Reporter Zhong Ying) With the approval of the Beijing Municipal Education Commission, the first major in cultural relics identification and restoration in this city has begun to enroll students, and the current situation of the shortage of talents in cultural relics identification and restoration in China is expected to be alleviated in the near future.

According to Cao Ning, deputy director of the training center of the National Library of the First General Association, at present, the means of restoring ancient books in China are very backward, and there is a shortage of talents for protection and restoration. The 30 million ancient books collected by public collection units in China are damaged to varying degrees, of which more than 6,543.8+million are in urgent need of repair, but at present, there are less than 6,543.8+000 technicians engaged in the repair of ancient books in China. At the current rate of restoration, it will take about a thousand years to complete the restoration of100000 ancient books. At present, there are dozens of technicians engaged in the restoration of ancient books, most of whom are 40-50 years old, and less than 40 years old 1/6. The protection of national historical sites and documents urgently needs the participation of young people.

The National Library Branch of University of the United Nations I is the only school in Beijing that offers this major, which is of great significance to the protection and restoration of national ancient books and documents.
