This comprehensive book spans over twenty chapters, each offering a unique insight into the world of xiushi. From the early discovery of lacquer to the intricate techniques developed over eight thousand years, the author weaves together historical narratives and craft-making stories.
Through detailed descriptions and abundant images of artifacts, the author traces the evolution of xiushi, highlighting techniques such as tuohuo (relief carving), tianqian (filling and inlaying), qianluodian (mother-of-pearl inlay), feijin (gold leaf application), miaojin (gold line drawing), and tihong (red carving lacquer). These techniques embody the warm, elegant, and refined aesthetic of Chinese lacquerware.
