Cast Body Gilded EnamelThe technique of casting and pinching the silk and making the glaze originated from the royal palace in the 13th century and reached its full prosperity during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. This technique combined bronze casting, porcelain painting, traditional painting, carving, gilding, and many other techniques. It could be said to be the epitome of traditional China craftsmanship. The production of casting body and stringing silk ware reached its peak during the Kangxi and Qianlong periods of the Qing Dynasty. Later, with the decline of the Qing Dynasty, the prosperity gradually declined. Finally, due to the dismissal of the palace craftsmen, this traditional national skill flowed into the folk.
In the process of making the casting body, according to the design requirements of the pattern, the copper wire must be pinched into the outline of the pattern, and then the outline of the pattern must be sewn on the surface of the metal body. Then, the pattern must be filled with the glaze, and then it must be baked in the kiln. This process must be repeated several times, and then it must be polished and gilded to become the finished product.
Among the many types of enamelware, some specific works of stringed-wire enamelware often showed unique artistic charm. For example, some of the stringed-wire enamelware in the old collection of the Forbidden City had a flat vase with a pattern of pine crane and reed goose with a gilded copper body. The carcass was thick, full of gilding and exquisite patterns. There was also a square casket with a dragon pattern made of stringed-wire enamelware imitated the bronze ritual ware Fang Yi of the Shang Dynasty. The carcass was thick, the production was neat, and the color was calm, giving people a solemn feeling. These could be used as a reference for the artistic style and craftsmanship of the gilded and inlaid inlaid porcelain ware.

What is a full body cast story?Well, a full body cast story might involve an athlete who had a horrible fall during a competition. Let's say a skier crashed really hard. They were rushed to the hospital and the doctors decided that a full body cast was necessary to keep all their bones in place while they healed. It's a story of pain, recovery, and the challenges of being immobilized in a full body cast.
Expecting more of the character development and better translation. The current cast seem to be side characters with only one role: eat. There's no direct conflict which is fine, but the story would feel stagnated. The MC only develops his skills and body, but nothing else.
