Gold plated copper identification
The following are some methods to identify copper gilding: - [Look at the casting mold residue: Look for the casting mold residue in the concave part of the Buddha statue.] If there was black charcoal mud or gray cement, it was normal, but if there was white Quartz sand, it must be a modern replica. - ** Look at the support nails **: The support nails are usually four-edged nails, which are hand-made. Some Buddha statues use copper nails. Most of the nail tips were bent because they were bent by a hard tool when the inner core was dug out after forging. Some of the supporting nails were large and had a large number, which was more obvious, while some were small and had a small number, but they were also easier to see. When some of the iron nails were rusted off at the root, the root of the iron nail could be found in the copper by digging the rust with a carving knife. - ** Look at the bronze material **: The Han Buddha statues in the Ming Dynasty were usually made of bronze, while the Tibetan Buddha statues were usually made of red copper. In the Qing Dynasty, the Han and Tibetan Buddha statues were made of brass, but during the Qianlong period, the Han Buddha statues were also made of red copper. Therefore, if a Ming Dynasty Buddha statue had a grain-sized bronze color, it must be a new Buddha statue. - In ancient times, because the forging of Buddha statues was regarded as a sacred thing, no matter what kind of copper was used, the raw materials were very good. In order to save costs, modern imitations were usually forged with crude copper or mixed copper, resulting in the bottom of the Buddha statues being too thick or uneven, or even incomplete. - [Look at the regulations: There were strict regulations on the forging of Buddha statues in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, including the proportion of each part, the hand seal, the magic tool held, the type of base, and so on.] The Buddha statue was dignified and elegant, with a kind face. Its various parts were realistic and accurate. If it was an official Buddha statue, the official position must be in front of the base, not behind the base. If it was inlaid, it was mostly turquoise or lapis lazuli. New statues usually did not conform to the regulations. - [Looking at the forging technique: Traditional Buddha statues are mostly made into models by the lost wax method before being forged.] The process includes making mud core, sticking wax sheet, sticking outer layer back material, drying in the shade, heating to remove wax and roasting, burying and pouring, breaking inner and outer mold to obtain blank, fine processing the blank, gilding or coating mud gold, gilding and other steps. By understanding the manufacturing techniques of these ancient bronze Buddhas, one could distinguish the authenticity by comparing the characteristics. The novel " Gilded Palm " is equally exciting.

Is the gold plated copper poisonous?
There was poison in the process of gilding. Gold gilding had a process of mercury evaporating, and the toxicity of mercury evaporating was not low, but mercury could completely evaporate. Whether the gilded products were toxic to the human body needed to be judged according to the specific situation. For example, the trace mercury content in the gilded tea set was relatively low, and normal use usually would not have a significant impact on human health. However, the gilded tea set contained some metal components during processing. Long-term use may cause instability of the metal components, which may cause irritation to the health of the body and cause discomfort in the digestive tract.
