It is a combination of the two production techniques of'filigree' and'inlay'.　　　　 filigree inlay is a traditional court art. Its craft is complicated and cumbersome. The basic techniques of filigree craftsmanship are summed up in eight characters: pinch, fill, pile, build, weave, weave, assemble, and weld. These eight techniques can be matched in sequence according to actual conditions during specific operations. The 　　　　 filigree inlay craft originated from the gold and silver inlay craftsmanship of the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States period. It reached a superb artistic level in the Ming Dynasty. It is especially good at weaving and stacking techniques, and it also often uses the dot jade craft to achieve a brilliant effect. The extensive use of gems and the perfection of the gem inlay technology were the most important contribution of the Ming Dynasty filigree inlaid jewelry to traditional Chinese jewelry. The Ming Dynasty reached a superb artistic level, and the Qing Dynasty had greater development. Famous products continued to emerge, and many became court tributes.　　　　 Today, the filigree inlay craftsmanship only exists in Xiamen and Chengdu, and the filigree inlay craftsmanship in Xiamen is the most complete. Xiamen filigree inlays collectively represent the characteristics of Chinese palace filigree inlay technology. The basis of 　　　　 filigree inlay is filigree. Before the filament is drawn, the silver bar should be repeatedly pressed on the rolling mill until it becomes a square strip with a suitable thickness before the formal drawing can be started. Hand-drawing is a tradition that has continued for hundreds of years, and is also called wire-drawing. The wire drawing board is a special wire drawing tool with 40 or 50 eye holes of different diameters arranged from thick to thin. The eyelets are generally made of alloy and diamonds, and the smallest ones are thinner than the hair. In the process of thinning the thick wire, there must be large to small through each eyehole in turn, not skipping. Sometimes it takes more than ten draws to get the desired filament. The silver wire drawn initially has a rough surface, which requires a lot of effort, and it gradually becomes smooth after several draws.　　　　 has superb skills, beautiful shapes, many varieties, obvious Chinese characteristics and national style, and embodies the wisdom and artistic creativity of the Chinese nation. Because the palace set up handicraft workshops and handicraft factories, it gathered the skilled craftsmen from all over the country, which enabled the exchange of filigree inlay production skills between the north and the south, and combined the strengths of ethnic minority arts and crafts, which became an important part of the palace art. The representative works of filigree inlays include the Wanli Emperor Golden Crown of the Ming Dynasty, the Jinou Yonggu Cup of the Qing Dynasty, the golden peach tree bonsai in the silver six square pot, the golden inlaid jewellery crown, the modern jewellery Temple of Heaven, the Chinese Century Dragon, etc. The engraving technique of 　　　　 is recorded in the book 'Building French Style' by Li Jie in Song Dynasty. Chisel carved using a ductile metal material, gold, silver, copper or the like to the rise of the Chinese traditional craftsmanship, as a traditional Chinese garden of craft in a wonderful, which is included with jade, bone and other processing technologies Angle evolved.　　　　 From the unearthed Shang and Zhou bronzes, some engraved inscriptions, inlays and gold and silver specimens on gold and silverware, it can be known that this technology has a history of thousands of years of development. The operation of the engraving process is to process the ever-changing relief-like patterns on the metal plate with special tools and specific techniques according to a certain technological process after the shape and pattern are designed. The core of 　　　　 engraving craftsmanship is'Engraving'. The main tools used in the operation are a variety of sets of chisel, these chisel are homemade, are made of tool steel or spring steel, after the steel material is overfired, it will be hammered to grow about 10 cm and the middle is thick. The thin jujube-shaped blank is then hammered and wrongly ground into the desired shape at its front end, then quenched, and repeatedly polished and debugged on the oil stone to make it suitable for use. The most commonly used chisel are hook chisel of varying sizes, straight mouth chisel, double-thread chisel, hair chisel, semicircle chisel, square chisel, semicircle chisel, fish scale chisel, fisheye chisel, bean grain chisel, sand chisel, There are more than ten kinds of sharp chisel, off chisel, and grab chisel. In addition, according to the different processing objects, some other types of chisel should be made. Due to its complicated operation process and high technical difficulty, this process requires the operator to have a good comprehensive quality, not only must have the foundation of painting and sculpture, but also master various techniques such as fitter, forge, sheet metal, casting, and welding. Traditional culture must have a certain ability to understand and appreciate, and it can't be mastered well without long-term hard study and research, so there are not many people who learn this art. The inheritance of engraved craftsmanship in history has mostly appeared in small handicraft workshops in the form of masters leading apprentices, oral and heart-to-heart teaching, and hand-to-hand teaching. There have never been systematic textbooks and monographs of this kind of craft, and there is no unified organization and management With planned talent training, it is difficult to form a stable professional team. Its rise and fall are also easily affected by social changes. In addition, some craftsmen want to pass on no one, or are conservative in thinking and do not want to pass on. The number of people who are fully and proficient in this art is declining. This national cultural heritage is in a state of decline. It is hoped that it will attract the attention of leaders of relevant departments and the society, and provide necessary support and help to make it continue to develop healthily.　　 The above is the information about filigree inlay summarized by the author for you.
