What is lacquer painting?

What is lacquer painting? Lacquer painting is a painting with natural lacquer as the main material. In addition, gold, silver, lead, tin, eggshell, shell, stone flake and wood chip are all lacquer painting materials. Lacquer painting originated in China and has a history of at least 7,000 years. The Hemudu culture found a piece of lacquer board, which was rotten, but the vermilion-red paint on it was still shining. Many lacquerware were also unearthed from the Han Dynasty tomb in Mawangdui, Hunan Province, which already had aesthetic value at that time. However, lacquer painting as a kind of painting is still a modern thing. Although lacquer painting was created in the 1960s and 1970s, it did not become an independent painting until the sixth National Art Exhibition in 1984.
