Chiseling had a history of more than three thousand years in China. It was a drawing technique that utilized the malleability of precious metals such as gold and silver. The core of chiseling was " chiseling ". The main tools used during the operation were all kinds of self-made sets of chisels, such as hook chisels, straight chisels, and more than ten kinds. Other chisels could also be made according to different processing objects. When chiseling, the processing object needs to be fixed on the rubber plate. The rubber plate is made of pine resin, white powder and vegetable oil in proportion and then applied to the wood board. When using, the glue is baked to soften. Copper, silver and other work pieces are attached after being burned. After cooling, they are chiseled. When they are taken down, they can be removed by heating. In terms of plate preparation, the traditional operation was to put the broken materials into a crucible, melt them to remove impurities, and cast them into ingots. Then, they were repeatedly hammered into suitable plates. The thickness of the plates was determined according to the size of the work. The most commonly used thickness was 2 - 0.5 mm. In terms of the preparation and use of the welding flux, copper and silver were considered to be big welding, and there was a difference between old and tender. The old flux was mixed with silver in the ratio of 8 to copper in 2, and the tender flux was mixed with silver in the ratio of 6 to copper in 4. The old flux was put into a small iron pot and boiled with water and potassium borate. When the work pieces were to be welding in a sequence of steps, the old flux was used for the first part, and the tender flux was used for the second part. In terms of drawing patterns, one could draw them directly with a brush or pencil. If there were repeated patterns in the work, the paper pattern method could be used to make them uniform. First, draw them on paper, put them on a tin lump, and use a small knife or a "chisel" to "strip" the empty space outside the patterns to make a paper pattern. Then, dip them in water and stick them on the corresponding parts of the device. Smoke them with candles. When the moisture of the paper pattern evaporated and peeled off, the patterns would be transferred to the "warehouse blank". In ancient times, works under the carving process often had to go through many processes such as design, drawing, exhibition board, initial carving, forging, glue making, glue coating, carving, engraving, beading, glue coating, tempering, edge carving, molding, welding, fine grinding, fine grinding, calendering, flattening, acid washing, surface treatment, etc. Each work had to go through almost ten thousand times of forging, carving, quenching, forging, carving, quenching, and so on to achieve the desired effect. The chiseling master also needed to have a certain foundation in calligraphy and painting before he could use the knife to carve vividly on the surface of the gold and silver material.
