Product history of : Gold and silver foil has a long history, which can be traced back to the Southern Dynasties. At that time, there were records of producing gold and silver foil and setting up brocade department in the literature. In the Yuan Dynasty, a large number of gold foils were produced, and in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there was a further development. In 1975, the gold-covered clothing unearthed in the tomb of Sun Xufu, the fifth son of Xu Da, outside the Taiping Gate was the physical evidence of gold and silver foil gold more than 400 years ago. Longtan town, the eastern suburb of Nanjing, and Huayuan Township, Jiangning County are the distribution centers of Jinling gold foil and gold thread production. Farmers have the skills of "foil making" and "thread making", which have been passed down from generation to generation. Jinling gold foil has a unique production process and high technical requirements. From ancient times to the present, it has been hand-hammered, which is a special traditional process in China. There are more than ten processes for processing gold foil. Gold bars are beaten into cicada-thin gold foil by fine processing, such as striping, beating leaves, opening, twisting, foil making, presenting and foil cutting. Nanjing gold and silver foil is famous all over the world for its high quality. Product allusion: It is only a guess that "cutting tung and sealing brother" is the origin of paper-cutting. Now the earliest paper-cutting objects that can be found in China are the paper-cutting works of the Southern and Northern Dynasties unearthed in Gaochang Old Town, Turpan, Xinjiang in 1959, namely "Flower to the Horse Group" and "Flower to the Monkey Group".
