Today, most jade carvers worked in handicraft factories and handicraft stores. In creative style, most have inherited the tradition of designing in accordance with the conditions of raw materials and wise used of natural colors. No rough jade is too small for master carvers on the creation of complicated works of art. In the making of a carved Lacquerware piece, a copper roughcast with enamel lining is first made. Its mouth is then gilded with gold and its surface coated with dozens of hundreds of layers of colored lacquers.
Carving is done on the lacquer coating after they become dry.
Use of different materials and varying worked methods result in different kinds of inlaid gold Lacquerware. For example, some are inlaid with mother of pearl and others bear pictures. The production of silk thread and fabrics gave rise to the art of embroidery. Embroidered works have become highly complex and exquisite today. The finished work is a cute and mischievous-looking cat on both sides of the groundwork.
