Gold is an elegant and precious material in the world. Therefore the people worked to turn it into foil. As for the
gold foil, every
gold piece of 7 li(or 0.35 grams) can be made into 1000 square pieces of
gold foil with the size of one inch, which can cover a square with the size of a bit more than 3 feet. For the making of
gold foil, the thin sheet shall be wrapped into the black
gold paper for beating with the use of a hammer of 4 kilograms in weight with a short
handle. The black
gold paper is made in Suzhou and Hangzhou. And the
paper is made of the
film taken from the big
bamboo grown along the coast of the East Sea. The work place shall be closed with only some holes for ventilating purposes and the
paper is made through the smoke coming from the bean-oil
lamps. Each piece of such
paper can yield about 50 pieces of
gold foil.
About 1700 years ago,
gold foils were used for decorating the palace buildings, in the records of the Buddhist temples, there is also quite a lot of description of such kind. However, in the excavation of the tombs of the Han Dynasty at Laoshan Mountain, Beijing, which caused a sensation in the world some time ago, a great amount of funeral objects which were gilded with
gold foil to
tile surprise of the people. If the fact is verified by the archaeologists, the history of
gold foil production shall be advanced by 500 years. The mysterious
gold foil once again becomes the focal point attracting the attention of the people of the world.
The mysterious sense of
gold foil originates from the three aspects. Firstly, it is the pure
gold used as the raw material. The extremely price and the value-guaranteeing function of
gold keep the output of
gold foil at the very low amount. Secondly, a high great deal of
gold foil has been used by the solemn and magnificent buildings, for instance, the Heavenly Gate( Tian 'anmen), the imperial Palace, the Royal Palace in Thailand and some other places which used a lot of 'Dragon and Phoenix Gold Foil' manufactured try Nanjing General Gold Thread and Gold Foil Factory. Thirdly, the production
technology for the manufacture of
gold foil is rarely passed to the outside people for a period of 1700 years: And some processes are the exclusively
unique skills not known to the people. The majority of people cannot imagine how the
gold can be turned into the
gold foil as thin as the wing of a cicada. All these mysteries enable
gold foil.
