Featured introduction

1, Jinling Gold Foil: Nanjing Gold Foil, also known as Jinling Gold Foil, is one of China's traditional handicraft skills and is known as "one of the best in China". It originated in the Longtan area of Qixia, Nanjing, and was once an official workshop for making real gold thread in the Ming Dynasty. Nanjing has been producing gold foil for more than 2500 years, accounting for 70% of the country's gold foil production and 60% of the world's. It is the largest gold foil production base in China and one of the five largest gold foil production centers in the world.

2, Nanjing paper-cut: Nanjing paper-cut, according to historical records, has been circulated among the people in the Ming Dynasty. In the past, Nanjing people hired artists to cut out all kinds of wedding flowers with red paper and decorate them on dowry such as boxes, cabinets, quilts and pillows. Other varieties, such as fragrant flowers, shoes and tickets, have distinctive local characteristics. Its artistic characteristics are "flowers in flowers, questions in questions, details in coarseness, and spirit in clumsiness".
