The process begins with hand-carving, where traditional patterns or compositions are carved onto the redwood furniture. Traditional techniques are used to apply gold lacquer, and the pen or knife tip is carefully engraved into the relief, creating a unique texture and pattern effect.
This artwork is first and foremost conceptualized with the choice of subject matter. It is rare to see the application of "Ba Da Shan Ren" (Eight Great Mountain Men) as the theme in contemporary pieces. The artistic characteristics of Ba Da Shan Ren's representative works are quite prominent, showcasing a strong sense of fearless vitality. The concise and majestic composition of the paintings, along with the deliberate childlike style of the calligraphy, creates a wonderful artistic expression that is fully demonstrated in Ba Da Shan Ren's works. The art of gilding on furniture, using wood as the canvas, seems to be particularly suitable for the artistic form of "leaving white space" that is characteristic of Ba Da Shan Ren's representative works and is more suitable for furniture.
