Gold smelting technology was invented in ancient China. The method is to cut the gold foil about a millimeter thick and put it in a crucible to heat it to 400 C, then put it in mercury (mercury). The ratio of gold to mercury is 1:7. After mixing, it is poured into water to form "gold sludge". Gold stick is dipped in "gold mud" and brushed repeatedly on bronze ware. Finally, the bronze ware surface is baked with hot charcoal to evaporate mercury. Gold remains on the bronze ware surface and becomes a golden bronze ware.
Technological process
The processing technology of silver and copper wares is relatively complex, with complex patterns, realistic shapes and prominent expressive techniques. The main process is: blanking - Welding - smashing - glue - Composition - polishing. The production mode of silver and bronze wares in Huangzhong is mainly handicraft workshop.

Current situation of inheritance
Owing to the production of silver and bronze wares in Huangzhong and the skill of bronzing gold, the production mode of bronze wares in Huangzhong is generally based on the family handicraft workshop. The children inherit their father's business and pass on from generation to generation. In principle, they do not pass on their surnames. In addition, the objective reasons and facts of complex technology, high technical difficulty, long training time from apprentices to skilled craftsmen, slow production of products, large investment and slow effectiveness. In addition, many young people do not attach enough importance to the processing of silver and bronze ware, give up learning this craft, and the old artists die one after another, which makes the handicraft practitioners less, and brings adverse effects on the inheritance and promotion of the processing technology of silver and bronze ware. It is urgent to take effective measures to protect and inherit it.
