Gilding was one of the decorative techniques of metal arts that had been passed down for more than 2,000 years in China. It was a method of embedding gold in ancient metal artifacts, also known as fire forging gold. In modern times, it was called "fire gilding". It was mainly to mix gold and mercury into a "gold mercury agent", apply it on the surface of copper or silver ware, and then heat it to evaporate the mercury so that the gold would not fall off the surface of the ware. It was used to improve the brightness and color of the ware, thus enhancing the ornamental effect of gold, silver and bronze ware. From the unearthed cultural relics, it was confirmed that China's gilding technology began in the Warring States Period. During the Warring States Period, the ancients had already mastered the gilding technology. By the Han Dynasty, the gilding technology reached its peak. After the Tang and Song Dynasties, it became more mature and exquisite. The silver gilding process was the same as the gold gilding process, which also used silver and mercury to smear on the surface of the ware. The gold and silver gilding techniques could be used alone or combined with other decorative techniques. There were also wax gilding and wax gilding silver craftsmanship. The advantage of wax gilding was that the color was very pure. The novel " Gilded Palm " is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!

How can I feel safer with a stranger I've just met than the man who was supposed to love me until death? Why does he look at me like I'm the most beautiful thing in the world? Does he see the bruises? Is that why he's doing this? I should've never left the house, but I couldn't let him win. Not this time, but I hadn't counted on this. "He'll never hurt you again." I want to believe those words, but I don't know if I can. What if I'm going crazy? What if it's all a dream, and I wake up in the nightmare that's my life? I shouldn't trust him, but gods, why does his voice affect me like this? Why does he smell like lightning storms and heather? "Nefretiri? Do you know what a mate is?" No, he didn't just say that! Life isn't supposed to be this dark. That's what Nefretiri Jordans believed until her world came crumbling down. Her marriage was now a game of slave and master, and she would never win. Not when her husband was cruel enough to bring his mistresses to the house and act like Nefra was nothing more than a servant. She wants to run, but she can't. He'll never let her go, especially not with their new daughter. So, she has no choice but to live in hell and do her best to stay sane. Unfortunately, that line of sanity suddenly breaks when Ricky goes too far, and Nefra makes a stupid choice. After all, it's just a cake. Who cared about that?  Fate has a cruel sense of humor, and Nefra quickly learns that nothing is by chance. So, what started as a painful but necessary trip to the store turned into an unexpected adventure.  After all, she never put mate on her shopping list. Not that it mattered to Ivan. The Alpha of the Sebryanny Kinzhal pack from Colorado who's slowly coming back from a year of hell. All he wanted was to find peace and figure out what he was supposed to do with his life. The moon goddess had an answer, and she set him up to find the one thing he needed to be saved.  So, when Nefra crashed into his truck and he saw her, Ivan knew she was his destiny. Unfortunately for him, she's not on board and seems to belong to someone else. If Ivan wants Nefretiri to be his, he'll need to do more than earn her trust. Dark secrets are waiting to devour both of them, and more than one enemy is watching in the shadows to claim what both unknowingly hold.  Somehow, they must get past their pain to find each other and build something neither believed was possible again. Finally, it's time to put the cards on the table and bet it all. If they win, their lives will be more than either of them could ever dream, but if they lose, the darkness will destroy more than one life.

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.

Is the metal gilding pure gold?

Gold gilding was a metal processing technique. It was to apply a gold mercurial agent composed of gold and mercury on the surface of a bronze ware. After heating it up, the mercury would evaporate, so that the gold would firmly adhere to the surface of the bronze ware and not fall off. Gold was used in the gilding process, but because it formed a gold layer on the surface of the object, it was not a pure gold product, but an object decorated with a gold layer on the surface.

The usage of gilding and gold-plating

Gold gilding and gold-plating were essentially the same process. The first step was to prepare the gold amalgam. First, the gold had to be thinned and cut into pieces, then placed into a pre-heated crucible, and then injected with mercury. The ratio of gold to mercury was 1:5 - 1:7, so that it was mixed into a paste. During this process, the surface of the object needed to be cleaned with an acid and base solution. Then, it was time to apply the gold. The gold amalgam was evenly applied to the surface of the object (such as bronze). Next was to crack the gold. By baking the plated object, the mercury would evaporate and the gold would remain on the surface of the object. Finally, it was calendering to make the coating more dense and bright. When the operation was done, the color of the coating could remain unchanged for a long time. This kind of craft could be used to decorate building components such as copper and iron and various utensils. In ancient times, apart from being used on the surface of utensils, it was also used to gild weapons. The entire process usually needed to be repeated about three times, but to achieve a better gilding effect, it was common to repeat it five to seven times.

Are gold gilding products harmful to the body?

Whether or not gilding products were harmful to the body could not be said to be the same. For the gilded tea set, when the trace mercury content was relatively low, it usually did not have a significant impact on human health during normal use. However, some metal components contained in the processing may be unstable after long-term use, which may cause irritation to the health of the body and cause discomfort in the digestive tract, such as abdominal pain and diarrhea. For gilded jewelry, although highly toxic mercury would be added during the production process, the toxic substances were volatile and would not cause substantial harm to the human body.
