The process of Diancui itself is not difficult, but what is precious is its kingfisher feathers. Feathers must be taken from live kingfishers, with good luster and bright colors. Kinfishers without feathers can hardly live, so this method is quite cruel.
The kingfisher wants to cut off the blue feathers on its back.
With the kingfisher on the verge of extinction, this craft was also banned. In order to preserve the beauty of a little green, craftsmen invented burning blue. Different from touching gold as the base, blue burning takes silver as the tire, carves patterns on the tire with silver flowers, and then coats transparent enamel for firing, finally forming a perfect blue burning product.
