The traditional lacquerware making technique was called "髹饰" in ancient times, and it appeared as early as the Neolithic Age. The wood-based lacquerware of the Xia Dynasty was not only used in daily life, but also in sacrifices, and was often painted with red and black. In the Shang Dynasty, there was already a lacquer art of "carving stone tools and engraving wine cups". In the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, the lacquerware carving industry in Shanghai formed a certain scale. It was prosperous from 1926 to 1936, and entered its heyday in the 1970s and 1980s. The production skills became increasingly mature, and the lacquerware produced by the eight professional enterprises gathered in the Zhuxing area of Shanghai County at that time was sold to more than 80 countries and regions at home and abroad. Shanghai lacquerware uses a variety of techniques such as coating, painting, hooking, engraving, filling, carving, engraving, grinding, inlaying, and inlaying in terms of craftsmanship, with a flat, bright, fine, uniform, gorgeous and elegant artistic expression effect. There are ten categories of craft decoration, including carved lacquer inlaid with jade, flat grinding mother-of-pearl, dotted snail, pure carved lacquer, bone and stone inlay, carved lacquer, hook knife, painted, ground lacquer painting, painted flat inlay, etc. The inlaid lacquerware techniques in Shanghai mainly use gold, silver, gemstones, pearls, corals, jasper, jadeite, crystal, agate, carnelian, lapis lazuli, green pine, snails, ivory, wax and agarwood, and use their natural colors to carve landscapes, figures, trees, towers, flowers, feathers and other patterns on lacquerware. From large screens, tables and chairs, window panes, and bookshelves to small pen beds, tea sets, inkstone boxes and book boxes, the inlaid precious jade and lacquerware are perfectly matched, seamless and complement each other, with the advantages of gorgeousness, elegance and richness.
