Yanzhao Li has participated in the repair and restoration of some most famous ancient buildings, and it is the best way for Yanzhao Li to express his love for the ancient buildings to make these colored drawings on ancient building resume their brilliance again.

古建彩画，是指在古建筑物上绘制的装饰画。古建彩画作为中国古代建筑重要的组成部分，每一个装饰画背后蕴含的不仅仅是视觉上的美学价值，还有对中华文明的诠释，体现的是一代代工匠们的匠心凝结。

Ancient architectural colored drawing is a traditional skill of ancient people to draw decorative paintings on ancient buildings. As an important part of ancient Chinese architecture, the colored drawings on ancient buildings contain not only the visual aesthetic value, but also the interpretation of Chinese civilization and inheritance of artists from generation to generation.

近日，来自马里的留学生张衣笙和来自哥斯达黎加的留学生杨思思，来到北京的颐和园。对于颐和园中的“十里长廊千画雅，一湖琼液七霓悬”景色，他们早有耳闻。他们对古建彩画有着浓厚的兴趣，现场观看后，让他们惊叹的是，百年来颐和园中的古建彩画的色彩依旧如此艳丽。古建彩画修复非遗传承人李燕肇为他们讲解了颐和园的彩画，使其进一步了解中国古建筑的修缮工作。

Recently, Yisheng Zhang, an international student from Mali, came to the Summer Palace with Sisi Yang, an international student from Costa Rica. They have long heard that the Summer Palace has the scenery of“a ten-mile corridor with thousands of elegant paintings, a lake with seven neon lights hanging”. Both of them have a strong interest in ancient architecturalcolored drawings, and after watching the paintings in the Summer Palace, they are even more amazed that the ancient architectural colored drawings there are still colorful for over a hundred years. Yanzhao Li, a non-genetic inheritor,illustrated the colored drawingsin the Summer Palace through the process of restoration to help the two international students learn more about the restoration of ancient buildings.

杨思思和张衣笙跟随李燕肇来到了他的工作室，体验了古建彩画修复工作中的两个基础且极为重要的环节：拍谱子和立粉。在体验过程中，两位留学生神情专注，每一次落粉包和下笔都十分小心和严谨。遇到有不确定的地方，两位留学生会及时向李燕肇请教，李燕肇给出的建议也都恰如其分地帮助他们解决了问题。

Sisi Yang and Yisheng Zhang followed Yanzhao Li to his studio, and experienced two basic and extremely important links in the restoration of ancient architectural colored drawing: Paipuzi (i.e. sifting power through the powder bag) and Lifen (draw paste along the powder line). During the process, the two international students were concentrated on the work they were doing, and were very careful and rigorous every time they were sifting powder with the powder bag and drawing lines. When they were uncertain what to do,they asked Yanzhao Li for advice in time,who gave suggestions to help them solve the problems appropriately.

李燕肇表示，当下正在修复的清代古建彩画是以冷色调青和绿为主兼以红色和点金。他指出，每个国家地区以及不同时期的古建彩画都有其不同的特色，若想深入了解则需要花费大量时间和精力。而了解这些彩画的特色也仅仅是古建彩画修复前期工作中的一部分。李燕肇希望更多年轻人走近并探索古建彩画的奥妙。

Yanzhao Li said that the colored drawings in the ancient buildings in Qing Dynasty (1636AD-1912AD) being restored at present are mainly used cool colors of cyan and green,decorated with red and gold. He pointed out that ancient architectural colored drawings in every country, region and different periods have their own characteristics,which takes a lot of time to understand thoroughly. Understanding these characteristics is only one step in the restoration of ancient decorative paintings. Yan Zhao hopes that more young people can approach and explore the mystery of ancient architectural colored drawings.

一天的时光虽然短暂，但是这一天下来通过向李燕肇请教和亲身的实践，留学生们对于古建彩画有了更加深刻的认识。其中一名留学生回忆：“我来中国也有很多年了，今天之前我真的没有想到，如今依旧生动的古建彩画背后有着一批批像李老师一样的古建彩画修复师，他们十年如一日地付出真的让我非常敬佩。相信在我之后的生活中也时常能从他这样的精神中汲取力量。”

Although time is short, the two international students have a deeper understanding of ancient architectural colored drawings through consulting Yanzhao Li and their own personal practice. One of the international students recalled, "I have been in China for many years. I really didn't think that there are a group of restorers of ancient architectural colored drawings like Mr. Liuntil today who have make great efforts unknown in restoring those decorative paintings. I really admire such efforts. I am sure I can often draw strength from his spirits in my later life. "
