Making fried beads seems easy, but it is very difficult to operate.
In order to verify the process, experts conducted an experiment themselves, 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 in the end it will completely solidify before the dripping is finished.
And if the mesh is too large, what will drip down will not be gold beads, but gold bumps.
Experts are so laborious even in the first step of manufacturing, so you can imagine how difficult it is in the following steps.
Welding gold beads not only requires superb artistic accomplishment, but also requires skilled skills.
Because it takes a very short time to heat the gold beads on the charcoal fire until they melt, and then weld them to the back of the gold comb.
If it cannot be done in one step, it is impossible to produce superb gold combs and other products.
From this point of view, we have to admire the ability of ancient craftsmen.
Moreover, more than 1,000 years ago, when materials were extremely scarce, they were able to leave us such exquisite products with their dexterous hands and infinite wisdom.
It is also one of the four small gold crafts, and the first one is chiseling.
Your country currently uses chiseling technology, and the smaller number is mainly concentrated in areas with ethnic minorities, with Nanyun, Snowy Areas, Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang Province being the least.
Similar to engraving and engraving, metal materials are not removed during the engraving process.
It is the same as carving and engraving. There is no metal material in the process of chiseling.
You must not have enough patience to do that kind of handwork, and it requires very little effort.
We drop hot gold solution into warm water. When the cold solution gold meets the warm water, it gradually solidifies and forms gold beads.
Especially the traditional craft industry requires interest and perseverance.
By hammering the chisel, the metal surface is concave and convex, with varying depths, smooth or rough lines and patterns.
Every chisel and every stroke expresses the craftsman's aesthetic thinking and his concentration and rigor as a craftsman.
However, if the jewelry is difficult to collapse, even the gold jewelry itself will have orange peel lines, which will affect the appearance.
There are very few works of that kind of craftsmanship. The patterns and patterns vary in depth and require very precise and precise knife skills.
So far, I only have some retro luxury goods, and I still insist on antique gold jewelry.
The production of your country's traditional jewelry often uses chiseling technology, which is used for handicrafts and jewelry that need to express the same material and texture.
At the same time, it also reflects that the strength and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty was not groundless, nor was it the beauty of history books, but was real and truly great.
Use your imagination. If you were a gold and silversmith, with any modern tools, how would you turn gold into "golden millet" with a diameter of up to 1 mm?
The engraving process is often used in traditional jewelry making in your country, and is used for handicrafts and jewelry that need to express the same material and texture. The use of gold millet to decorate gold jewelry requires welding, and only needs to be arranged with glue first.
After fixing the bad position with the pattern, and then cooling it, the gold millet and gold jewelry can be integrated again without leaving any trace.
It was a method of fried beads that was popular in the Tang Dynasty, like the filigree carriages of the Tang Dynasty, but not the filigree fried beads inlaid with dragons, phoenixes and gold pots of the Tang Dynasty.

The shape of the gold beads formed in this way is small and large, and it is difficult to form into a drop shape.
That kind of craft has a unique decorative effect. It makes a single metal surface produce a multi-layered and changing three-dimensional effect, which is both glorious and very harmonious.
Arrange the gold millet under the gold ornaments, and then cool the whole thing, but this also requires the goldsmith to have a good grasp of the temperature.
For example, the ancient gold made by the King of Yue has only 1 millimeter of "golden millet". I really don't know how it was made?
Use a sledgehammer to hit the chisel tool to leave chisel marks on the metal surface, forming various textures to achieve the purpose of decorating the utensils.
Each chiseling knife can express a pattern of the same texture, and the content and skill can be expressed on the metal surface less than on the paper.
Usually it is a peony lion hairpin, instead of using carving technology to carve out a lion playing outside a group of peonies, symbolizing wealth and auspiciousness.
Do you have a confused look on your face? It looks complicated, but in fact it is completely true.
The seventh method is not the charcoal ash method. The charcoal ash method can be subdivided into three types, which will be discussed later.
Things like chiseled crowns, peony and lion hairpins, etc. are all classics.
Therefore, the taste of a chiseled handicraft is very different from the craftsmanship and ingenuity of the craftsman.
From every vein of the flowers and leaves to every line of the lion's body, it takes meticulous and pious carving to create such a lifelike effect.
So, that's a metal deformation process.
It is usually a gold pot, and the fried bead pattern under the pot surface is very friendly to people with phobias.
That process is time-consuming to make, and the special jewelry brands no longer use it.
It is through the embellishment of fried beads that the richness of men's clothing is presented, which is more detailed and intuitive than simple carvings and filaments.
It's like the chiseled flower necklace worn by Tan Chun in the 1987 version of Red Mansions.
The emergence of the fried bead technology has made gold jewelry lose its expressive power, and the patterns have become more vivid. From the perspective of artistic value alone, it is measurable.
The eighth method is the bead-blowing method, which involves either making gold and silver into filaments, heating one end to melt it and then blowing it off, or blowing it off and directly attaching it to the gold and silver filaments for my own use.
But the operation must have been successful. The golden millet stood under the gold surface, round and three-dimensional, shriveled and vivid, which was extremely useless for the depiction of some flower patterns.
The chiseling process uses chiseling, carving and other methods to carve patterns. The patterns have varying depths and are full of artistic appeal.
Let's take the King of Yue as an example. The flower core under the bouquet is like a blooming flower. The flower core is made of fried beads.
Before you make those "golden millets", you need to apply them to decoration.
Engraved jewelry never has general appeal to boys.
That kind of craft began in the late Spring and Autumn Period, became popular during the Warring States Period, and was used by all previous dynasties.
But the wisdom of the ancients is always surprising. We only came up with the method of realizing explosive beads, and we also came up with 5 methods in a row.
And there are not just one or two exquisite crafts like this left in history.
Carving flowers is an ancient craft.
The first Nianqi dripping method is produced by Nianqi using the principle of heat and cold.
Every ancient skill is preceded by the unbridled imagination and ingenious creativity of a generation.
In Ziru Shengsheng, chiseled flowers are used to express the theme of interest. In the chiseled carvings, there is a dream of prosperity flowing from ancient times to the present.
The craft of engraving requires very fine and precise knife skills, and the engraving craftsmen in your country are basically concentrated in the Jiangnan area.
Carving flowers is a job that tests carelessness, patience, and aesthetic ability at the same time.
To make that kind of jewelry, you need to use a whole set of chisels with various basic shapes.
Until now, chiseled flowers and jewelry have not been integrated into one, in order to create more stunning works of art.
Like a Tang Dynasty gold handicraft - filigree fried beads inlaid gold man, it is not one of the classic production.
