The Characteristics and Values of the Suzhou-Styled Lost-Wax Casting Method (Suzhou Pian)

Suzhou-pian refers to the Suzhou-styled lost-wax casting, one of the representatives of Chi?na’s traditional lost-wax casting techniques. The bronze works cast through Suzhou-pian are well known for their intricacy and exactness in copying the genuine ancient works. Researchers and local craftsmen in Su?zhou have successfully restored the casting process after years of study and cooperation. With distinctive wax formula, fine mould making, and intricate processing, Suzhou-pian represents economic and technological value as well as historical and humanistic significance. The revival of traditional techniques and crafts will be achieved when their scientific value are revealed and when they are preserved with innovation and indus?trialization.
