The process of hammering seems very simple, isn’t it just a hammer smash?

However, this is the basis of gold and silver craftsmanship. After the hammering method, gold and silver show their unique charm.

In ancient times, women often bought themselves various jewelry for beauty.

Whether worn on the head or on the hands, it has its unique beauty.

Of course, in order to show nobility, many women choose gold and silver products, which are not only durable, but also can precipitate a different aesthetic over time.

In the jewelry process they wear, one technique is often used, that is, hammering.

Hammering is one of the main processes of traditional gold and silver processing. The main production process is to apply pressure to the blank to deform it to the desired shape.

Repeat the series of pounding and pounding until the shape and pattern are formed.

It allows metal to get rid of its cold appearance and adds humanistic warmth.

Among the many foreign crafts of jewelry making, the hammering process that has the greatest impact on the processing of gold and silver jewelry in my country is the hammering process.

First, add the gold and silver before smelting and purification;

Among the Tang Dynasty gold and silver men's jewelry unearthed from the Tang Dynasty, few of them were made of hammers, which shows how small its influence is.

Because gold and silver have good ductility and hammering makes it more beautiful to mold, this technology has been widely used.

It is a thing of the past. No craft is often remembered. It is the basis for the uncarved and painted. Without it, the uncarved and craft will be as ethereal as the moon in the water.

In fact, the most square hammer pattern originates from the processing of gold, silver and bronze ware in your country.

What kind of top technology is this that made it possible for that kind of ordinary?

The patterns covered with all the body are the same as the size, and are in a regular circle. They are specially pounded with tools before the whole is cast. For example, the representative work of national treasure-level hand-made hammer patterns, the Western Han Dynasty golden beast weighing 9,100 grams, is definitely the peak.

For example, the craftsmanship in the Tang Dynasty reached its peak, and what Fang Yi people know most should be the Golden Bowl.

Hit it with a hammer to extend and spread it into a certain thickness of gold sheet;

Without some simple utensils, you can also use the hammering method to make it.

A circle of golden silk knots separate the inner part, and seven golden phoenixes flew in the inner part, holding golden ribbons on their mouths, flowing and free.

Now you specially beat gold and silver ingots into various shapes of the process, called thrust, also known as hammer or hammer.

Before, the required square shape is formed, and those processes are long and trivial.

In that hammer and blow, the concentration can be experienced by others.

It is precisely because of this that so few exquisite crafts have been created in the certainty of the few.

When hammering the shape or pattern of the object, it is also necessary to line it with a soft and soft bottom mold that has been broken in advance, so that the gold and silver sheets are formed more slowly when hammering, which is called "die punching".

Therefore, it is very popular in the softer texture and very precious gold and silver making.

In 1970, a gilt parrot pattern lifting beam lid was unearthed in a cellar in Hejia Village, southern suburbs of Chang'an, Xishan.

But few things are like that. The more complicated the process, the easier it is.

Because it involves hammer patterns, also called hammer patterns, are a decorative technique between texture and patterns.

Through the dignified and gorgeous inner appearance, you can see a few techniques such as gilding, engraving, and welding in the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty had a wide variety of gold and silver ware, with graceful and graceful patterns, which made people look like a complete reading and read all the time, but they also had a consistent personality.

The white lacquer ground sets off the golden phoenix, with bright contrast in colors. It has not yet fallen off. It shows the craftsmanship of lacquer and gold and silver pounding in the Tang Dynasty.

That point cannot be seen from a representative work of a national treasure-grade hammer pattern craft - the Golden Beast of the Western Han Dynasty.

In fact, the process of hammering is complicated.

In the Western Han Dynasty, Liu An's "Huainanzi: Shuoshan Xun" did not have the sentence "The soil is thicker but thicker", and the "shoulder" was annotated as "thin metal sheet".

The beauty of national treasures travels through ancient and modern times, and carries the way with magnificent tools.

That Western Han Dynasty Jiao Bi cannot smash the pride of the great Japanese on the ground.

But when it comes to hammer patterns, everyone subconsciously knows that they are common textures under neon metal objects.

That is pounding (yè). From then on, we cannot see what "golden painted double phoenix back" means, it is a kind of glamour that is always faded.

The ancients used hammering technology to make few men's jewelry, such as earrings, arm bracelets, bracelets, etc.

Its diameter is about 22 cm, slightly larger than the Tang Dynasty gold and silver flat-out four-angle mirror in Neon Masakurayuan.

The can body and the bottom ring foot of the cover bowl are welded, and there is no parrot pattern on the whole body. The gilded pattern of the folded branches and flowers cannot rotate freely, combining beauty and practicality.

Among them, his most classic one should be the Tang Dynasty's seven phoenixes carrying ribbons, gold and silver, unearthed from Changlepo Village, the eastern suburb of Chang'an, Xishan.

Items made by the hammering method consume more materials than casting, and require less people to divide the work and cooperate independently.

It is also the product of the perfect combination of the two techniques of ancient metal casting technology and gold pounding technology.

And combined with that kind of craft, or the peak application of that kind of craft, your country also emerged one after another in ancient times.

Then, in the first step, we must hammer out the basic shape of the object, and then hammer out the double-layer lotus petal shape from inward toward the inside.

The number of gold ornaments in the Shang and Zhou dynasties was large. The archaeological discoveries were not found in the Baojin-Bronze Tiger unearthed from the tomb of the Yinxu Woman in Anyang, Nanhe, the Shang Dynasty Sun God Bird Gold Ornaments unearthed from the Jinsha Site in Sichuan, the Shang Dynasty gold bronze statue unearthed from the Baxingdui Site in Sichuan and Han Dynasty, and the golden fish-shaped ornaments unearthed from the Baxingdui Site in Sichuan and Han Dynasty.

Behind every rare cultural relic, the craftsmanship and wisdom of the ancients are embodied, the cultural genes of the Chinese nation are engraved, and witness the exchanges and mutual learning of civilizations in China.

The lotus petals protrude from the inner wall of the bowl to the inner wall, forming the effect of concave and convex inside, and then the pattern is etched under the convex lotus petal outline.

And they all think that hammer pattern is one of the traditional handicrafts that is unique to neon. Is that true? Actually, yes.

Later, with the deepening of cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries in the Tang Dynasty, merchants and craftsmen from West Asia came to China one after another. While they brought a large number of items, they also brought a lot of technology for the manufacturing of gold and silverware.

There are no eight blooming anemones in the round mirror button, and anemone leaves are surrounded by them.

For example, a bottle with a large mouth and a small belly, especially a bottle divided into two parts, a lower part, a hammer can also be divided into several parts, a hammer can be welded together, and then polished together.

However, the phoenix bird's wings used the "hair withering" process, and the feathers were turbid and more three-dimensional and vivid.

Hammering is one of the commonly used methods for forming gold and silverware, but it is also a hard work and requires patience.

It is one of the national treasure-level cultural relics of the Jinling Museum and the heaviest of the goldware discovered in your country in archaeology.

To make it into thin slices.

The hammering method is also often used to make gold and silver patterns, such as a golden bowl with lotus petal patterns.

Hit, that is, hit.

Puffing sounds difficult to explain, but in folk oral translation, it is "beating".
