Lacquer development

China ancient lacquer craft appeared as early as the Neolithic Age. Lacquerware made of wood tires in the Xia Dynasty was not only used for daily life, but also for sacrifice. It was often painted in two colors: red and black. During the Yin and Shang Dynasties, there was a lacquer art of "carving with stone tools and carving with discretion". 1973 Lacquerware fragments unearthed from Shang Dynasty site in Taixi Village, Chengli City, Henan Province, with gluttonous patterns engraved on wooden tires and painted with red and black pigments.

With the economic development and cultural prosperity in the Tang Dynasty, various factors made arts and crafts develop, and they were much more advanced in art, technology and production. Lacquerware in the Tang Dynasty shines brilliantly, showing a gorgeous style, and the production technology of lacquerware is also developing in a rich direction.

The arts and crafts of the Ming Dynasty entered a new stage, and the official factory set up various royal lacquerware, which was managed by famous lacquerware artists. In addition to the official lacquerware factory, folk lacquerware production is also spread all over the country. There were many famous lacquerware artists in Jiangnan in Ming Dynasty, including Zhang Degang and Bao Liang in the early Ming Dynasty, Fang Xinchuan in the middle Ming Dynasty and Jiang in the late Ming Dynasty.
