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.

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.

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 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.

Gold gilding had a high value, but it wasn't worthless. From the perspective of art collections, gilded crafts such as the gilded copper bear-shaped ornaments of the Western Han Dynasty sold for 2,853,000 US dollars, indicating that they were very valuable in the antique art market. At the same time, the gilding process combined a variety of techniques and had high artistic value. As a carrier of traditional culture, it conveyed beautiful meanings and had profound cultural implications. The works that used the gilding process on jade also had a unique artistic style and collection value, which was favored by collectors. Moreover, as people's living standards improved, the market potential for gilded crafts was huge. In addition, in modern commercial use, gilded crafts also had market value and appreciation potential. They could be used to make replicas for the museum or to develop modern crafts.
