My system is not decent

The craft of hammering seems to be very simple, isn't it just smashing with a hammer?

However, this is the foundation of gold and silverware craftsmanship. After gold and silver are refined by hammering, they show their unique charm.

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

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

Of course, in order to show their extravagance, many women choose gold and silver products, which are not only durable, but also have a different beauty over time.

In the craftsmanship of jewelry they wear, a 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.

A series of actions of beating and tapping are repeated until the shape and decoration of the vessel are formed.

It makes metal get rid of the cold exterior and adds a humanistic temperature.

Among the many foreign crafts of jewelry making, the hammering craft has the greatest influence on the processing of gold and silver jewelry in my country.

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

Among the Tang Dynasty gold and silver men's jewelry unearthed here, very few of them were hammered into shape, which shows that its influence is small.

Due to the good ductility of gold and silver tools, hammering them into shapes can better reflect the beauty of gold and silver products, so this technology has been widely used.

However, every craft is often remembered by people. It is the basis of all carvings and paintings. Without it, all crafts will be as ethereal as the moon in the water.

In fact, the most square hammer pattern has originated from the processing of gold, silver and bronze wares in your country.

So what kind of top-notch technology has achieved that kind of extraordinary?

The markings all over its body are uniform in size and are in a regular circle shape, which were deliberately hammered down with tools before the whole body was cast.For example, the representative work of national treasure-level hand-made hammer patterns, the Western Han Golden Beast weighing 9100 grams, is definitely the pinnacle of it.

For example, the craftsmanship in the Tang Dynasty reached a peak, and Fangji people should know the golden bowl best.

Hit it with a hammer to stretch it out to form a gold sheet of a certain thickness;

Some simple utensils can also be made by hammering.

A circle of gold silk knots separates the inside, and there are seven golden luan birds flying around inside, holding gold ribbons in their mouths, elegant and free.

Now you especially beat gold and silver ingots into various shapes, which is called hammering, also known as hammering or mallet.

However, the process of making it into the required square shape is long and trivial.

In that hammer and hammer, others can experience that kind of concentration.

It is precisely because of this that among the various determinations, so many exquisite handicrafts have been created.

When hammering the shape or pattern of the utensil, it is also necessary to line it with a soft bottom mold that has been knocked out in advance, so that the gold and silver pieces can be formed more slowly when hammering, which is called "die punching".

Therefore, it is very popular in the production of gold and silver, which is soft and very precious.

In 1970, a gold-plated parrot-patterned jar with a beam and lid was unearthed in the cellar of Hejia Village in the southern suburbs of Chang'an, Xi'an.

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

Because it involves hammer pattern, also called hammer eye pattern, which is a decorative technique between texture and ornamentation.

Through the dignified and gorgeous interior and exterior, you can get a glimpse of several crafts such as gilding, chisel carving, and welding in the Tang Dynasty.

The gold and silver wares of the Tang Dynasty are rich in varieties, and the shapes and patterns are graceful and seldom changed. People can see and read them all, but they also have a consistent character.

The white lacquer ground sets off the golden phoenix, and the color contrast is sharp. It has not fallen off so far, which shows that the Tang Dynasty's lacquer painting and gold and silver hammering techniques are both outstanding.

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

In fact, the process of hammering is complicated.

In Liu An's "Huainanzi Shuoshan Xun" in the Western Han Dynasty, there is no sentence "揲挻(shn) its soil is thicker", and it is annotated as "a thin metal sheet".

The beauty of the national treasure, through ancient and modern times, is used to carry the Tao, and it is magnificent.

That Western Han Dynasty Jiao Bi, cannot smash the pride of the big devil on the ground.

But when it comes to hammer patterns, Xiaojia knows subconsciously that it is a common texture under neon metal objects.

The ancients used hammering technology to make a few men's jewelry, such as earrings, armlets, bracelets and so on.

Its diameter is about 22 cm, slightly larger than that of the Tang Dynasty gold and silver square mirror with flat backs in the Neon Zhengcangyuan collection.

The body of the tank and the ring foot of the covered bowl are connected by welding. There is no parrot pattern or gilt decoration of broken branches on the whole body, and the handle cannot be rotated freely. It combines beauty and practicality.

Among them, his most classic should be the Qiluan in the Tang Dynasty, which was unearthed in Changlepo Village, the eastern suburb of Chang'an, Western Shaanxi.

The items manufactured by hammering method consume more materials than casting, and it also requires less labor division and cooperation, and can be operated independently.

It is also the product of the perfect combination of ancient metal casting technology and gold hammering technology.

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

Then hammer out the basic shape of the utensil in the first step, and then hammer out the double-layer lotus petal shape from the inside to the inside.

There were already many pieces of that kind of gold ornaments in the Shang and Zhou dynasties. Archaeological discoveries include the gold-covered bronze tiger unearthed from the Fubai tomb of Yinxu in Anyang, Anyang, the gold ornaments of the Shang Dynasty sun god bird unearthed from the Jinsha site in Chuandu, and Baxingdui in the Sichuan and Han Dynasties. The gold-covered bronze statues and gold-faced fish-shaped ornaments of the Shang Dynasty were unearthed from the site.

And everyone thinks that hammer pattern is one of the traditional handicrafts unique to neon, is that so?Actually it is.

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

There are eight blooming anemones in the round mirror button, surrounded by anemone leaves.

For example, a bottle with a big mouth and a small belly, especially divided into upper and lower parts, can also be hammered in several parts, and the parts are welded together first, and polished rough.

However, the "feather withering" technique is used on the wings of the phoenix, which makes the feathers appear turbid and more three-dimensional and vivid.

Hammering is one of the commonly used methods in gold and silverware molding, but it is also a hard job and requires patience.
