Gold smelting technology was invented in ancient China. The method is to cut the gold foil about a millimeter thick and put it in a crucible to heat it to 400 C, then put it in mercury (mercury). The ratio of gold to mercury is 1:7. After mixing, it is poured into water to form "gold sludge". Gold stick is dipped in "gold mud" and brushed repeatedly on bronze ware. Finally, the bronze ware surface is baked with hot charcoal to evaporate mercury. Gold remains on the bronze ware surface and becomes a golden bronze ware.

The processing technology of silver and copper wares is relatively complex, with complex patterns, realistic shapes and prominent expressive techniques. The main process is: blanking - Welding - smashing - glue - Composition - polishing. The production mode of silver and bronze wares in Huangzhong is mainly handicraft workshop.
