The art of polychrome lacquer painting with gold tracing and inlay represents the culmination of traditional Chinese lacquer craftsmanship. It integrates four core techniques—lacquer application, polychrome painting, gold tracing, and inlay—embodying the pinnacle of ancient artisan ingenuity. This paper begins by outlining the historical origins, technical characteristics, and cultural significance of this art form. Subsequently, using a Qing Dynasty “Hanging Screen Inlaid with Boxwood and Coral Depicting the Scene of Sudhana Paying Homage to Guanyin, with Polychrome Lacquer Painting and Gold Tracing” as a case study, it offers an in-depth analysis of its craftsmanship, visual elements, thematic narrative, and cultural connotations. The study aims to unveil its artistic value and contemporary relevance as a form of “living cultural heritage.”
