Passing on the culture of gold leaf
September 02 , 2022

Nanjing, China, the hometown of gold leaf, must be credited with passing on and promoting the culture of gold leaf. The process of making gold leaf is a national non-foreign heritage, and it is not something that can be done by just anyone.


Gold leaf was born in the ancient city of Nanjing, a magical capital that bequeathed this cultural heritage to the world and will not fade after several years. You can see gold leaf used in ancient buildings or handicrafts as a symbol of glory and wealth.


Then, it was not only our country's strength that made the art of gold leaf flourish. We need to know this history, which is also the cultural export of Buddhism. With the introduction of Buddhism to Japan, the Japanese mastered the essence of this traditional Chinese craft, and then began to use gold leaf extensively in temple architecture and Buddha statue carving.


In addition, gold leaf was considered a panacea for immortality in ancient times, and this belief also spread to foreign countries, so gradually gold leaf dishes emerged, and tiny pieces of gold leaf were used to garnish dishes and even used in drinks, such as gold leaf wine, and these little by little developments made gold leaf culture more widely recognized
