Product Description

The Ding, originally a cooking vessel in ancient times, later evolved into a significant symbol of political power for the ruling classes. It was regarded as a treasure of state stabilization and national heritage, representing the hierarchical system of "distinguishing between the noble and the humble, separating the upper and the lower."

Historical records indicate that the emperor possessed nine Ding, while feudal lords held seven, high-ranking officials held five, and lower-ranking officials held three or one. The Ding was the most important ceremonial vessel in ancient China. Emperor Yu of the Xia Dynasty cast the nine Ding, symbolizing the nine provinces. In ancient times, the treasure Ding served as a symbol of state stability and the transmission of national authority. The patterns on the Ding were believed to have the power to ward off evil, and sometimes legal codes were inscribed on the Ding to emphasize the solemnity of the law.

During a change of dynasty, the new reigning monarch's first duty was to cast a Ding and promulgate new laws, symbolizing the beginning of a new era and auspicious new beginnings. Hence, the Ding represents auspiciousness and symbolizes the advent of new opportunities.

Main Production Process

Wax Refinement

The clay sculptures are prone to damage from weathering, so we aim to create molds to transform the clay prototypes into resin replicas. This allows for long-term preservation and a faithful representation of the essence of the original sculptures, as well as improvements to their shortcomings.

Dipping and Coating

"Dipping and coating" is the process of creating a ceramic shell mold. It involves assembling multiple wax patterns onto a tree assembly, repeatedly immersing them in a slurry (or stone slurry), embedding the outer layer, and allowing it to dry. This process results in the formation of a ceramic shell with a thickness of 9mm (5-7 layers). Subsequently, the tree assembly is placed in a high-temperature oven or a high-pressure steam pot at 140-160°C to dissolve the wax patterns, leaving behind a hollow ceramic shell.

Sandblasting

Sandblasting is a process that uses compressed air as a power source to generate a high-speed jet, which propels abrasive materials (such as copper ore sand, quartz sand, iron sand, sea sand, garnet sand, etc.) onto the surface of the workpiece to bring about surface changes. The impact and cutting action of the abrasive on the workpiece surface result in a certain level of cleanliness and different roughness on the outer surface of the workpiece. This process improves the mechanical properties of the workpiece surface, enhancing its resistance to fatigue, increasing adhesion between the workpiece and coatings, prolonging the durability of the coatings, and facilitating coating leveling and decoration.

Polishing

The surface of cast copper parts is relatively rough, so repeated polishing and refinement have become important steps to ensure
the quality of the copper parts. The polishing technicians have rich experience and work meticulously and carefully. Otherwise, a
slight mishap could result in the rejection of a piece of work.
