Engraving starts from the "plate", from the selection of raw materials for the plate, as well as the corresponding pretreatment method for the plate, according to the shape, size and thickness required for the final engraving, adjust and stabilize its physical properties to prepare the "plate" to become the engraving "plate".
Carving before the general first through the sample, the sample attached to the layout, so that the engraving has a sample to follow. Engraving methods are divided into Yin and Yang engraving, Yang engraving and engraving according to the Yin and Yang effect that the final impression wants to achieve; Accordingly, the results of block engraving can be divided into intaglio plate, relief plate and hollow plate.
The shape of the block can be customized according to the purpose, use mode, application scenario, and the form is not limited. The surface on which images and texts are engraved and printed is called a layout. The presentation form of the layout can also be designed according to the size of the plate and the needs of use, in order to improve the utilization rate of the plate and the efficiency of replication.
Before the official printing, it is often necessary to apply red or blue color on the engraved page first, and then lay paper and brush to check whether the engraved version is wrong. If there is any mistake, repair it in time, and wait for it to be correct before formally painting black ink paper. The reason why this process is called printing is that the text, sidebar, boundary line, elephant trunk, fish tail have been inked on the engraving plate, and then covered with paper. In order to make the calligraphy and painting, column lines, etc. can be printed on the paper, it is necessary to use a moderate soft and hard brown brush or brush to brush the back of the paper, so that the calligraphy and painting, column lines, etc., can be printed.

Glass, is the fourth state of matter outside of solid, gas, liquid. At different firing temperatures, glass presents different degrees of softening state, can be used for casting. We divide it into two categories: "static casting" and "flow casting" :
Static casting refers to the process of solid glass placed in the mold and melted into the kiln, including "softening casting", "conventional casting", "glass powder burning", "lost wax casting" and so on.
Flow casting refers to the process of melting glass slurry into the mold molding, including "mold blowing", "pressure casting", "centrifugal casting", "sand casting" and so on.
"Metal casting" is one of the most important categories in the casting process. It refers to the method of melting metal into liquid by heating, injecting it into the mold, cooling and solidification, and obtaining casting modeling. "Metal casting" is one of the three major metal forming methods, and includes a variety of casting processes, such as "burning method", "lost wax casting", "sand casting", "stone casting", "cuttlefish bone casting", "foam molding", "centrifugal casting" and so on.
Wax can be used as an important intermediate material "wax mold" in lost wax casting, and can also be made into castings that often appear in daily life, such as "candle", "crayon", "lipstick" and so on. Wax casting usually uses "solid casting", "hollow casting", "dip molding" and other processes.
In some unimaginable areas of daily life, there are also casting processes with organic materials, and we divide them into six categories: "gum", "sugar", "protein", "starch", "fiber" and "fat".
Foods containing these ingredients often have a process similar to casting during processing, such as jelly, candy, chocolate, pastries, steamed eggs, frozen meat, popsicles, etc. Similarly, the paper-making process of traditional handmade paper can also be seen as the shaping process of the texture through the mold, and can also be extended to the industrial pulp molding process.
We divide the earth into three categories: "rammed earth", "cement" and "ceramic". Among them, "rammed earth" and "cement" that do not need to be fired are usually used in the construction field, and the words "ramming" and "pouring" are commonly used to describe their processing technology:
"Rammed earth" uses glutinous rice glue or lime to bond the soil and compacts it into a block by pressure in the mold;
"Cement" is a kind of inorganic cementing material, mixed with water will solidify and harden, through mold forming for building parts.
If the casting of "ceramic" is completed under the slurry shape, it is called "grouting molding"; If the clay block is molded, it is called "impression molding". And then by firing it to make it stronger and longer lasting.
Plastic including plastic, rubber, resin and other modern industrial materials, usually not associated with casting, in fact, the principle of plastic injection molding and casting principle is the same, its products involve all aspects of our lives, such as "foam molding" sponge, "blow molding" plastic bottles, "impregnated molding" balloons, "injection molding" daily furniture.
