Gold-gilding and gilding
In metalworking, it was usually called " gold gilding." Gold gilding was a traditional metal decoration technique that had been produced since the pre-Qin era. It was also known as fire gilding or mercury gilding. It was to synthesize gold and mercury into gold amalgam, apply it to the surface of a bronze ware, and then heat it to evaporate the mercury, so that the gold would adhere to the surface of the ware. " Gold-plated " might be a misrepresentation of " gilded ", and there was no such formal saying in the context of metal craft decoration. The novel " Gilded Palm " is equally exciting.

Is gold-gilding the same as gilding?
To a certain extent, gold-plating and gilding were the same. In terms of word class, gold-plating was a verb, which referred to the traditional art of applying gold dissolved in mercury on the surface of an object to decorate it. Gold-plating was a verb and a verb. When used as a verb, it was the same as gold-plating. It referred to the traditional art of applying gold mud made of gold-mercury alloy on the surface of the object, and then baking it to evaporate the mercury and let the gold be fixed on the object. When used as a verb, it referred to gold with good color. The two words are inclusive,"gilded gold" includes "gilded gold", and the pronunciation of gilded gold and Lu is synonymous,"gilded gold" can also be used as "gilded gold". However, in order to make the meaning clear, the two words should be treated separately: when it refers to good quality gold,"gilding" is the recommended word form, while "gilding" can refer to traditional gilding methods.

Which is more practical, gilding or gilding?
Gold gilding and gold plating had their own characteristics and had different practicality in different application scenarios. In terms of process complexity, the gilding process was more complicated and cumbersome, while the gilding process was relatively easier to operate and more versatile. If it was an object with a complex shape and high precision requirements, gilding might be more practical because it could gild a very detailed process, and the gold layer after gilding was relatively thick. In terms of durability, the gold-plated layer had the advantages of anti-corrosion, wear resistance, high temperature resistance, etc., but the gold layer was often thin and easy to fade, while the gold-plated layer adhered firmly to the object and was not easy to fall off. If the durability of the object was high, gilding might be more advantageous. From the perspective of environmental protection and health, the gilding process required mercury to make gold mud. Mercury was a toxic substance, which might affect the health and safety of non-hereditary inheritors during the operation. The addition of cyanidation in gold-plated gold water was also dangerous, but relatively speaking, modern gilding technology might be easier to control under environmental protection and safety management, which would affect its practicality in some scenarios. From the perspective of historical inheritance and artistic value, gilding had a history of more than 2500 years. It was a very ancient metal craft technique in ancient China. Gilding on historical relics and traditional crafts could better reflect its artistic value and cultural heritage. Gilding only had a history of more than 100 years, so it might be more practical in modern industrial production of decorations. In summary, it was impossible to simply determine which was more practical, gilding or gilding. It needed to be considered based on the specific purpose of use, environment, culture, and many other factors. The novel "Gilded Palm" is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
The difference between modern gilding and ancient gilding
The main differences between modern gilding and ancient gilding were as follows: 1. ** In terms of process principles ** - In ancient times, gold gilding was mainly based on fire plating. It was to synthesize gold and mercury into "gold mercury agent", apply it on the surface of the object, and then heat it to evaporate the mercury. The gold would adhere to the surface of the object and not fall off. For example, to gild bronze, one needed to go through the tedious steps of killing gold, making a gold stick, smearing gold, bolt, opening gold, brushing, polishing, and so on. Moreover, in ancient times, gold was melted in mercury, and then excess mercury was squeezed out by hand to paint patterns on the bronze ware. The mercury was evaporated by warm roasting, and the gold patterns were fixed on the surface of the bronze ware. This method was difficult to operate, and mercury was poisonous, which was a threat to the health of the craftsman. - The modern gilding process was an electro-plating process. It used the principle of photosynthesis to lay a layer of metal on a conductor. It could also be used to attach gold to the surface of metal or other objects to form a thin layer of gold. This method was easier to operate and more versatile. 2. ** Historical heritage and popularity ** - The ancient gilding had a long history. It had been produced since the pre-Qin period and was quite popular after the Eastern Zhou and Han Dynasties. It was one of the most commendable surface decoration techniques of bronze ware at that time. It had a history of more than 2500 years. It was called gilding in the Song Dynasty and was an ancient metal craft technique in ancient China. - The modern gilding process was a product of the development of modern industrial technology. The modern plating process could not only plate gold, but also other precious metals and ordinary metals. The technology was mature and had developed and created on the basis of the ancient gilding process. 3. ** In terms of finished product effects ** - The ancient gilded gold had a thick texture. Through complicated manual operations, the gold was firmly attached to the surface of the object. After many processes, the metal structure was fine and firmly adhered to the surface of the object. - The objects made by modern electro-gilding were relatively thin and light, but modern gilding could make the objects anti-corrosion, anti-wear, anti-high temperature, and so on.

The meaning of gilding
Gold had different meanings on different items. For gilded coins, it was usually the reward money or memorial money of the ancient court for people with special status, and also the coin used for praying in temples. For gilded Buddha statues, it had the meaning of respecting and respecting Buddha, making Buddha statues more solemn and beautiful, restraining desires, accumulating merits, etc. For example, gilded Pixiu was an ancient auspicious beast that fed on gold, silver and jewelry. It only entered but did not leave, so it had a good meaning. Gilded gold and silver crowns were used to fix hair, decorate the head, and symbolize the noble status of the person wearing the crown. It also implied that one should work hard, have a smooth career, and shine. The novel " Gilded Palm " is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
Gilding Island
Kilding Island was located in the Barents Sea, northeast of the Kola Peninsula in Murmansk, Russia. In history, the island had important military strategic significance, especially during the Cold War, when the Soviet Union set up several military bases and facilities on the island, such as air defense systems and missile launch sites. There was the relic of the Object - 101, which was once the famous coastal defense missile base of the Soviet Union. It was equipped with the Progress P - 35 anti-ship cruise missile equipped with the Uts shore-to-ship missile system. There was also the Object-100 launcher, which had been in use since 1976 and belonged to the 362nd Independent Coast Missile Regiment of the Black Sea Fleet. In the mid-1930s, the Soviet Union built several coastal defense turrets on Kilding Island to strengthen regional defense capabilities. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, some military facilities on the island were abandoned, including residential areas and military facilities with perfect infrastructure. The residents evacuated according to the orders of the superiors. Many military equipment were concentrated in an open-air environment on the island and gradually decayed and destroyed. The reason was that it was not economical to transport the equipment back by sea. Today, there were still many routes to explore on foot and new interesting places to be discovered. " The Island of Life " is also a wonderful novel. Everyone is welcome to read it!
Traditional gilding
The traditional gilding technique was a traditional metal decorative technique that had been produced since the Pre-Qin period. It was still popular among the people today, also known as fire gilding or mercury gilding. Its principle was that mercury had a low boiling point and gold had a high melting point. It used a mixture of gold, silver and mercury as raw materials for surface treatment, and after baking and evaporating, it obtained the effect of removing mercury and storing gold. The process was as follows: 1. To prepare the gold amalgam, the gold was crushed into pieces, cut into pieces, and then placed in a sand pot and heated to a burning red. The gold was mixed in the ratio of gold to mercury of 1:7, and the gold was melted in mercury at 400 ° C. Then, the solution was poured into a cold water basin to cool. The sinking matter was in the form of mud, which was called "gold mud" or "mud gold". 2. Using a copper rod, the mixture of gold mud, salt, and aluminum was washed clean with dark plum water or dried plum water (using a slightly acidic washing agent to remove the surface whiskers to increase the degree of attachment of the coating). Or, the grooves were filled with exquisite patterns and profound inscriptions. 3. Heat it up (the boiling point of mercury is about 356 degrees Celsius, while the melting point of gold is above 1000 degrees Celsius), control the temperature to evaporate the mercury from the surface of the object, then wash it with soap or dark plum water, leaving a golden pattern or coating, and finally use agate tools to polish it. This process could be repeated several times to dozens of times depending on the thickness of the required gold layer. During the repeated gold plating process, it was sometimes necessary to hammer the surface of the instrument to make the gold layer close to each other. This kind of craft was quite popular after the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and Han Dynasty. It was one of the most commendable surface decoration techniques of bronze ware at that time. It was successively called gold coating, golden coating, gold coating, gold coating, and gilding. In the Song Dynasty, it was called gilding. The technique of gilding bronze had been invented during the Warring States Period and had a history of more than 2,000 years. The novel "Gilded Palm" is equally exciting.

What is gilding?
Gold gilding was a traditional metal processing technique, also known as " gilding "," gilding "," flowing gold ", and so on. It was a technique of combining gold and mercury into gold amalgam, applying it to the surface of a bronze ware, and then heating it to evaporate the mercury, so that the gold would firmly adhere to the surface of the bronze ware without falling off. This technique had been produced since the pre-Qin period. During the Warring States period, the ancients of our country had already mastered this technique. The gilding technique invented on bronze had a history of more than 2,000 years. It was very popular after the Eastern Zhou and Han Dynasties. It was one of the praiseworthy decorative techniques on the surface of bronzes at that time. In the Song Dynasty, it was called gilding. The novel " Gilded Palm " is equally exciting.

The meaning of gilding
Gold gilding had different meanings for different things: - * * Buddha statue gilded **: - To express respect and respect, to show the nobleness and nobility of the Buddha, to show the highest respect and worship for the Buddha. - It made the Buddha statue more solemn and beautiful. Its golden luster gave people a noble and pure feeling, causing them to admire and praise it. - It was a reminder and warning to control one's desires, reminding people to abandon greed and pursue material things. - The gilded Buddha statues were often offered and worshipped more. The offerings offered to the Buddha statues could accumulate merit and bring blessings and good results. - * * Gold Coin **: - For the ancient palace, gilded coins were gifts or memorial money for ministers and members of the royal family with special identities. They were exquisitely cast, of high specifications, and full of gold water. They were rarely distributed and were rare items. - The gilded coins in the temple were used to pray for blessings and appeared more sincere. - For special coins like "spending money", gilding was to make the auspicious words or exorcism content on the coins more solemn. Gilded coins also had more collection space and research value. The novel "Gilded Palm" is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
The production process of gilding
The production process of the gilding process could generally be divided into the following steps: 1. Killing gold: The gold was forged into gold foil and cut into pieces. It was placed in a crucible and heated to about 400 degrees. Mercury with a ratio of gold to mercury of 1:7 was poured in and stirred to completely dissolve the gold in the mercury. Then, it was poured into cold water to cool, forming a silver-white mud-like gold-mercury mixture (gold mud). 2. Pre-treatment of the utensils: polish the copper pieces to be gilded smooth, for example, grind them with grinding charcoal to make them as smooth as a mirror; make a "gold-coated stick"(made of copper, flatten one end, smear it with sour plum soup, soak it in mercury, repeat it many times, so that it is stained with a layer of mercury, and then dry it). 3. Smearing gold: Use a "gold-coated rod" to dip in a mixture of gold mud, salt, and aluminum, and evenly smear it on the surface of the object. While smearing, push and press (modern craftsmen call this method "tying"). 4. [Opening gold: Baking it at an appropriate temperature with charcoal fire to evaporate the mercury. The gold will be fixed on the bronze ware, and the color will turn from white to golden yellow. If the metal coating is required to be thicker, the above process needs to be repeated many times.] 5. Washing: Scrub with a brush dipped in sour plum water. 6. Calendering: A "press" made of agate or jade was used to grind and press along the surface of the object, so that the gold-plated layer was dense and firmly combined with the object to be cast until a shiny gold-plated layer appeared on the surface.
