Confucius Temple copper bronze basket was stolen

In the previous few days, Xiao Bian heard that the bronze sculpture “The Venerable Man” on the West Street of Gongyuan Temple was destroyed. Whereas the brass statue that was used to express the atmosphere of the pedestrian street was spotted by the thief. The copper basket that was picked by the seller was moved to a hundred meters away. Perhaps the man originally wanted to steal the brass and sell it. Unfortunately, this copper basket is too heavy. The person must give up halfway.

Although the copper market was affected by the economy in 2012, prices have been fluctuating, but we all know that the price of scrap copper can not be underestimated. Although this thing has not been stolen, but the regulatory authorities must also pay attention to it, there is precedent, it is estimated that those who do nothing to know the value of the thieves, and must not exist fortunes, strict prevention is the king.

When it comes to this bronze sculpture, we have to mention the maintenance of bronze sculptures. We usually collect copper ornaments for their exquisite copper products. After long-term exposure to the sun, they are easily eroded and oxidized. Copper rust appears, so that the original beautiful bronze statue is not so eye-catching, and Xiao Bian thinks that if you want bronze sculpture to shine, you must learn to clean it. The most susceptive to the growth of powdered rust on copper sculptures, because of this rust case of wet, hot weather will quickly reproduce. Eventually the entire bronze will be eroded and this rust will infect other bronzes. In order to prevent powdery rust, the powdery rust on the bronze surface should be cleaned with a knife until new copper is exposed, and then a specially made syrup is applied to prevent corrosion of the powdery rust.

In short, it is heart-wrenching that this bronze sculpture is stolen or corroded. Whether it is to collect or use these beautiful bronze sculptures, we should protect it more. Only in this way can it be "beautiful and beautiful!"
