Is there anything particular about graduates sending plaques to schools? Do you need to cover it with HongLing or something? Are there any traditional or humanistic customs?

Traditional plaques are divided into wood, stone and metal, but most of them are wood, and stone and metal are rare. The inscription on the plaque was mainly made by dignitaries, celebrities and calligraphers at that time. The plaque is painted black, and there are also colors such as purple, red, blue, green and brown. The most common type of writing is a real gold plaque, which means that gold foil is applied to words.

Gilding is an important craft category in traditional lacquer art, and gilding technology is very particular. First, the proportion of materials, the degree of thinness and dryness must be mastered according to the four seasons. Secondly, the coating of gold glue must be uniform, and it is very important to master the "temperature". Neither early nor late, neither fast nor slow, but also flat, tight, bright and bright, with no obvious interface. In addition to gold plaques, some of them are painted with colored paint, the common ones are bean green, and some are inlaid with ivory, animal bones or mother-of-pearl characters.

Generally, it needs to be covered with HongLing when it is delivered.
