Lee has been working on the repair of buildings in Forbidden City at the National Palace Museum. In the lecture on this day, the occupations and techniques related to construction were explained with many photos of the site.

First, an overview of the repair and reconstruction work that has been undertaken was introduced. It makes me feel once again that repairing many buildings in the vast Forbidden City is a hard job.

Next, I would like to introduce the construction technology used in construction work. Slides are the lumbering method of roof girder. In addition, there were various rules regarding the construction of the building. In the past, some carpenters could not read letters, so the rules were compiled as oral biography, and it was said that they would not be able to work without knowing it.

Next, the work of various jobs other than carpenters was introduced. There are specialized craftsmen in each of them, such as tiles, stones, and coloring, and construction is not possible without their cooperation. It is a valuable content that could not be introduced at the exhibition.

Finally, Q&A. There were various questions, such as details of the coloring of Forbidden City and how to train disciples.

In Kobe, a symposium will be held with three masters from Japan, China and South Korea. Based on today's report, I think that the commonalities and differences between the three countries will be clarified, so please look forward to it.
