Silver jewelry is facing extinction.

The filigree in Chengdu is mainly inlaid with silver filigree, generally with thin silver strips, which are thin and symmetrical, and some are polygonal. Monofilaments are mostly used as edge lines, while multifilaments are twisted with more than two silver wires. In the thirty-fourth year of Guangxu (1908), Chengdu created flat-filled silver silk products without tire molding, including more than 400 kinds of plates, boxes, bottles, rings and so on.

There are many processes of silver wire, the thinnest of which is only half that of human hair and the thickness is only a few millimeters. After the silver is drawn into silver wires with different thicknesses, the pattern in the middle is filled and woven by four processes: kneading, filling, weaving and tiring according to the completed graphic frame. This unique skill depends entirely on the artist's artistic perception and skilled craftsmanship. The old filigree craft said "once every three years", which means it takes at least three years to become an apprentice. As for the length of the "cut", it is up to master to decide. Because the process of "silver flower silk" is complicated and there are many processes, it can't be completed by one person. Many craftsmen can't make it independently even if they learn how to make it, which is one of the reasons why there are so many apprentices in Yinhuasi.

The silk-making skills of Yin Hua in Chengdu have now become a national intangible cultural heritage. However, compared with Shu embroidery and Shu brocade, the traditional handicraft skills of the printing temple with a history of 1700 years are not familiar to ordinary people, because they were basically exported in the planned economy era. Although the market is open, it is not familiar to ordinary people because of its relatively expensive price and realistic consumption concept. Moreover, due to the complex and time-consuming process of making silver wire, few people can make silver wire, so this skill is also facing loss. Daoan of Chengdu Gold and Silver Products Factory is a national non-genetic inheritor of Chengdu silver wire production technology and the only artist in China who can master the whole process of Chengdu silver wire production. 1999, Daoan resigned from Chengdu Gold and Silver Products Factory, set up his own studio and invented the patented product "Silver Silk Painting". Wang Xiaolu is the daughter of Daoan and the inheritor of Daoan's silver silk craft.
