📜 Origin & History

The name 'Pure Gold' first appeared in pre-Qin texts, referring to fine gold purified through multiple smelting processes. The Book of Songs already contained praises like 'gold and jade are its character.' Zhou Dynasty goldware revered pure gold above all, used in ritual vessels for heaven worship and feudal enfeoffment ceremonies, symbolizing the highest authority.

After the opening of the Silk Road in the Han Dynasty, Western Regions refining techniques entered the Central Plains, bringing Pure Gold smelting to new heights. Due to trace copper content, Pure Gold took on a warm red hue, merging with the Western Regions' red gold craftsmanship. It became the exclusive color for imperial seals and crowns.

During the Tang Dynasty, Pure Gold was extensively used for Buddha statue casting and palace architecture decoration. The caisson ceiling paintings of Hanyuan Hall in Daming Palace were outlined in Pure Gold. Bodhisattva halos in Dunhuang murals also used Pure Gold as the main tone, showcasing the blend of glorious High Tang atmosphere and Buddhist solemnity.

In the Song and Yuan dynasties, Pure Gold moved from temples and courts to literati collections. Emperor Huizong's Xuanhe Bogu Tu cataloged ancient gold objects, all ranking Pure Gold as the supreme grade. Pure Gold incense burners used by literati for incense burning and tea tasting became indispensable, luxurious accents in elegant gatherings.

The Pure Gold craft reached its peak in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Cloisonné used Pure Gold wire as its skeleton, filled with enamel glaze, achieving world-renowned acclaim. The gold-painted dragon columns of the Taihe Hall in the Forbidden City still shine with the brilliance of Pure Gold today.
