鎏金工艺研究——从洛阳发现的战国鎏金铜器谈起

由于在西周、春秋时期秦人较多使用了黄金饰品并可能掌握了提炼水银工艺,因而可能这一时期就已经出现了鎏金工艺,而后随着秦人东迁传播到中原地区。战国时期的王畿洛阳地区已经比较多地使用了鎏金工艺,是鎏金工艺的发达地区。我国鎏金工艺最早出现的历史可上推400年左右,在世界上是最早的。

A Research of Gold-Plating Technique-Starting with Gold-Plated Bronze Wares Found in Luoyang

During West Zhou and Chunqiu period, Qin people often applied gold decorations and possibly had mastered mercury extraction technique. So gold-plating technique might have been developed and later spread east to the central plain area with Qin people’s east migration. During Warring States Period, gold-plating technique was quite often used in Luoyang, and this technique was advanced in this area. The advent of gold-plating technique can be traced back four hundred years, and was the first in the world.
