Among the methods of repairing artifacts in China, the most well-known method besides curium and porcelain is gold repair.
Jinzhi is the name of the craft that uses pure natural materials to repair damaged utensils. It requires a certain aesthetic skill. Jinzhi originated from China and is popular in Japan.
It uses natural lacquer to bond pieces of porcelain or fill gaps. Next, a gold powder or gold foil is applied to the lacquered surface. The wounds on the utensils seemed to have a little melted gold, the defective parts are highlighted, but not obtrusive. It will even add a lot of color to the original utensils.
Japanese “Wabi-sabi” is a Chinese Zen thought during the Tang and Song Dynasties. After being introduced to Japan, it was blended with Japanese local culture. Jinzhi repair uses Eastern style "accommodation" to resolve despair, it is also the tolerance of the Zen mind.
The process of restoration is not only the regeneration of artifacts, it is the rebirth of the state of mind.
Compared with other forms of repair, metal repair is very durable. When other repair techniques lose their effectiveness, porcelain repaired using gold repair techniques can remain as strong as ever.
People marvel at the beauty of gold repair and the beauty of imperfections, but what really touches me is its attitude, using the most precious material in the world to face defects, repair it carefully, and calmly accept the imperfection in life, in an impermanent world. Stick to the yearning for beauty in your heart.
