Gold proportioning:Raw gold taken from the gold-storehouse is prportioned according to special needs of the variety of products，plus appropriately proportioned silver and coppere elements，so as to bring
about the gold content required
|
|
 |
|
Melting into gold—bars：Proportioned gOld is put into the crucible and molten into gold liquid under high temperature，with micro-sliver and coppere emements evenly poured in. Then，with dregs filteredout，gold
liqud is poured into the measured iron groove for cooling，resulting gold bars． |

 |
|
Beating，leaves:Thick gold bares areb beated by manpower to become thin gold belts which are cut intO
gold leaves as thin as paper |
|
 |
|
Spill—making：Gold leaves are cut by a small bamboo knife into one-centimeter-square tiny gold leaves
which are called gold sprills．
|
|
 |
|
Heating gold-stripes:A piece of 10-centimeter-square black-gold paper iS put into the incubator for heating
so as to quickly extend gold after gold spills areattached as the next process |
|
 |
|
Gold spill to set：Gold spills respectively set by finger-tips are put into a l0-centimeter-square black-
gold paper-bag.i.e. two pieces of black—gold paper sandwicha gold-spill,multiplied to be 2048 layers.ALL
gold spills should be put in the center of black-gold paper |
|
 |
|
Initial extension of gold stripes：The black-gold paper-bag wrapping gold·spills put on the foil-
beater and hammered in revolution，making gold-spill5 already as thin as paper thinne rand fudher spread out |
|
 |
|
Starting the initial extension of gold stripes：Gold-spills opened in the 10 centimetre-square black-gold paper-bag are called"Gold stripes "which need to be hammered continuously,in order to became foils."Gold stripes", carefully poked by a goose-feather,are put into a 20-centinemeter- square black-gold paper paper-bag(commonly called Jiasheng).This process is termed as "Starting the initial extension of gold stripes".
|
|
 |
|
Baking:Packed "Gold stripes" are put into the electrisc oven for the control of constant temperature,in
order to make sure that they are not influenced by the temperature and moisture in the the natural space. |
|
 |
|
Completion of thin goldfoil：The"Jiasheng"bag is put on the foil—beater and hammered in revolution,until it too thin to be beaten. This way of beating is professionally called "Completion of thin goldfoil".
At this time，goidfoil,as thin as the cicada wing．as soft as silk and as light as feather, comes into being. This technological process is generally called as foil-beating which is a key process. |

|
Removal of foil blanks form black-gold paper:Goldfoil in the black-gold paper paper-bag,is poked by the goose-feather into soft and fine-vein Maotail paper,called"Removal of foil blanks from black -gold paper".

|
Goldfoil cutting：Goldfoil is cut by the bamboo knife into a regular shape．Strict demands are set for
goldfoil cutting.It usually takes a craftsman 18 momths to master the skill of wind-blowing,line-
forming and dot-forming.He cannot be qualified for his job unless he can blow out the middle one
when three lit candles are arranged in a line,with the rest of two remaining unmove |
