[1] Lost wax method is a precision casting method for bronze and other metal objects. The method is to use beeswax as the model of the casting, and then fill the mud core with other refractory materials and smear it on the outside. After heating and baking, the wax model completely melts and falls off, making the whole casting model an empty shell. Then pour the solution into it, and it will be cast into an object. Objects can be beautifully carved and have a hollow effect. The bronze statue and copper plate unearthed from the tomb of Zeng Houyi in Sui County, Hubei Province are the earliest known lost wax castings in China.
