My system is not decent

Chapter 1793 Unconstrained and ingenious

It seems easy to make fried beads, but it is very difficult to operate.

In order to verify the process, the experts conducted an experiment in person, and found that it was really difficult to make.

Because when the heated liquid gold is poured into the filter, if the mesh of the filter is too small, the dripping speed will be very slow, and finally it will be completely solidified before the drip is finished.

And if the mesh is too large, what drips down is not gold beads, but gold lumps.

Experts have worked so hard on the first step of manufacturing, so the difficulty of the next few steps can be imagined.

Welding gold beads requires not only superb artistic accomplishment, but also skilled skills.

Because the gold beads are heated to a molten state on a charcoal fire and then welded to the back of the gold comb in a very short time.

If it cannot be done in one step, it is impossible to make superb gold combs and other products.

From this point of view, we have to admire the abilities of ancient craftsmen.

What's more, they were able to leave us such exquisite products with their dexterous hands and infinite wisdom in the era of extreme scarcity of materials more than 1000 years ago.

At the same time, it also reflects the strength and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. It is not groundless, nor is it the beauty of history books, but is real and truly great.

As for such exquisite handicrafts, there are not one or two pieces left in history.

For example, the ancient gold of the King of Yue, the "gold millet" with only 1 mm, I really don't know how it is made?

Use your imagination. If you were a goldsmith, without any modern tools, how would you turn gold into a "gold millet" with a diameter as small as 1 mm?
Are you at a loss?It looks simple, but it is completely unrealistic.

But the wisdom of the ancients is always surprising. They not only came up with the method of blasting beads, but also came up with 5 methods in a row.

The first is the drip method, which is made by using the principle of cold and heat.

They dropped the hot gold solution into warm water, and the hot solution gold gradually solidified when it encountered warm water, forming gold beads.

However, the gold beads formed in this way are of different shapes and sizes, and they are easy to form water droplets.

The second is the charcoal ash method, which can be subdivided into three types, as I mentioned before.

The third is the bead blowing method, which is to make gold and silver filaments, heat one end to melt and then blow them off, or directly attach them to the gold and silver filaments without blowing them off for other purposes.

This is a popular method of frying beads in the Tang Dynasty, such as the filigree carriage of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty's filigree fried beads inlaid with dragon and phoenix gold pots.

Especially the golden pot, the fried bead pattern on the surface of the pot is very unfriendly to people with dense phobia.

After making these "golden millet", it must be applied to decoration.

And using these golden millets to decorate gold ornaments does not require welding. You only need to use glue to arrange the pattern first, fix the position, and then heat, and the golden millet and gold ornaments can be integrated again without any trace.

Arrange the golden millet on the gold ornaments, and then heat the whole thing, but this also requires the goldsmith to have a good grasp of the temperature.

Otherwise, not only the gold millet is prone to collapse, but even the gold jewelry itself will have orange peel lines, which will affect the appearance.

But if the operation is successful, the golden millet stands on the gold surface, round and three-dimensional, plump and vivid, which is extremely beneficial for depicting some flower patterns.

Like a gold handicraft of the Tang Dynasty - filigree fried beads inlaid gold lady, is one of the classic productions.

It is through the embellishment of fried beads that the beauty of ladies' clothing can be presented, which is more detailed and more intuitive than simple engraving and filaments.

This process is time-consuming to make, and general jewelry brands are no longer used.

Up to now, only some retro luxury items and ancient gold ornaments are still insisted on.

Still taking the King of Yue as an example, it looks like the pistil on the flower ball of a Fengrui flower, which is made of fried beads.

Behind every ancient skill, there is a generation of unconstrained imagination and ingenious creativity.

The emergence of the bead-fried technique gave gold jewelry expressiveness, and the patterns began to come alive, which is immeasurable in terms of artistic value alone.

This is also one of the eight fine gold crafts, and the last one is chiseling.

Unlike engraving and engraving, there is no metal material in the chiseling process.

Hit the chisel with a small hammer to leave chisel marks on the metal surface and form various textures to achieve the purpose of decorating utensils.

This craft has a unique decorative effect, which makes a single metal surface produce multi-level and changing three-dimensional effects, which are both brilliant and harmonious.

Chiseling flowers, an ancient craft.

This craft began in the late spring and Autumn period and prevailed in the Warring States period, and has been used in all dynasties since then.

Chiseling is often used in the production of traditional jewelry in our country, which is used in handicrafts and jewelry that need to express different materials and textures.

Like the chiseled flower wreath worn by Tanchun in the 87 version of the Red Mansion.

To make this kind of jewelry, you need to use a whole set of chisels with various basic shapes.

By hammering a chisel, the surface of the metal is formed with uneven, dark or light lines and patterns.

So, this is a metal deformation process.

Unlike engraving and engraving, no metal material is chipped away during the chiseling process.

Chiseled flower jewelry always has a special appeal to girls.

You must have enough patience to do this kind of handwork, and it takes a lot of thought.

Especially the traditional handicraft industry needs the support of interest and perseverance.

Many works of this craft have deep and shallow patterns, requiring very fine and accurate knife techniques.

Each chisel can show patterns of different textures, and more content skills can be shown on the metal surface than on paper.

Therefore, the quality of a chiseled handicraft is inseparable from the craftsmanship and ingenious thought of the craftsman.

Every chisel and every stroke are expressing the craftsman's aesthetic thinking and concentration and rigor as a craftsman.

Such as chiseled head crowns, peony lion hairpins, etc., are among the classics.

In particular, the peony lion hairpin is a lion playing in a group of peony flowers carved out of chiseled flowers, which symbolizes wealth and auspiciousness.

From every vein of the flowers and leaves to every pattern of the lion's body, it is incomparably carefully and piously chiseled to achieve this lifelike effect.

Up to now, there is still a fusion of chiseled flowers and jewelry in order to create more stunning works of art.

Chiseling flowers is a job that tests carefulness, patience, and aesthetic ability at the same time.

Ziroom skillfully expresses the interest and theme with chiseled flowers, and in the carving of one chisel and one stroke, it is a prosperous dream flowing from ancient times to the present.

The chiseled flower craft uses chiseling, grabbing and other methods to carve patterns and patterns. The patterns are deep and shallow, full of artistic appeal.

Chisel flower craftsmanship requires very fine and accurate knife techniques, and the chisel flower craftsmen in my country are basically concentrated in the Jiangnan area.

At present, my country uses chisel flower crafts, and most of them are mainly concentrated in minority areas, with the most in Nanyun, Snow, Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang provinces.

Chiseling is often used in traditional jewelry making in my country for handicrafts and jewelry that need to express different materials and textures.
