Yangjiang lacquerware is one of the "three treasures of Yangjiang". The production process of Yangjiang lacquerware was produced no later than the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty. It belongs to the family handicraft workshop production mode. Because it is located on the coast and is influenced by the marine culture, it has some differences from the traditional techniques and patterns of the mainland, and there are obvious differences in the preparation of lacquer and the painting of patterns. During the Jiaqing and Daoguang years of the Qing Dynasty, Yangjiang lacquerware had a great influence in the country. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, the products were not only large in quantity, but also had a high level of craftsmanship. At the same time, it was unique because it was made with "cashew lacquer" developed in Yangjiang. Lacquerware products are mostly sold to Southeast Asia and even Europe and the United States. Among Yangjiang lacquerware, traditional handmade leather products are more famous, and leather suitcases and leather pillows are the most famous among leather products. Traditional lacquer leather products are characterized by light weight, firmness, durability, water resistance, moisture resistance, alkali resistance, heat resistance, wear resistance, atmospheric erosion resistance, high hardness, brightness, and rich paint film. If not directly exposed to strong light, they have the advantages of not deforming or fading for a long time. In the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, overseas Chinese were proud to own lacquerware products such as Yangjiang lacquer leather boxes, and lacquer leather products became an important export commodity in Yangjiang. Yangjiang's traditional handmade leather, paper, and cloth lacquerware products require high raw materials, high costs, and complex processes. With the rise of various new material products, lacquerware products have been impacted by new substitutes, and the market is shrinking. In addition, with the change in aesthetic pursuits, traditional lacquerware products have been rejected. At present, there are only a few artists who know how to make traditional handmade leather lacquerware products, and most of them have no heirs. The lacquerware craft is on the verge of being lost and urgently needs to be protected. Information source: China Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection Center (No pictures yet, welcome to provide.)
