Zhaoyuan City has a long history of gold production and is China's largest gold mining and production base. The gold chute stone-stacked stove smelting technique is a cultural heritage invented and passed down by the people of Zhaoyuan for more than a thousand years. In January 2002, Zhaoyuan City was named "China's Gold Capital". Zhaoyuan City is located in the hinterland of the Jiaodong Peninsula. Gold veins are spread all over the city. There are more than 2,000 gold veins of various sizes that can be mined in the area around Luoshan alone. Among them, the Linglong gold mine field is known as the "Crown of Asian Gold Mines". All 51 rivers in the territory are gold-rich belts, which has created the necessary conditions for the inheritance and application of the gold chute stone-stacked stove smelting technique for thousands of years. Historical records show that as early as the Song Dynasty, Zhaoyuan people invented the gold chute stone-stacked stove smelting technique. This traditional skill uses hammers, stone mortars, stone mills, stone rollers, chutes, dustpans, and pottery vases (or crucibles) as tools, and consists of manual crushing, grinding, pulling and smelting processes. From the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties to the founding of the People's Republic of China, this skill has played a huge role in promoting gold production in Zhaoyuan and the whole country. All the principles of modern gold production technology come from traditional skills, especially the gravity separation method of this skill, which still plays an important role today. Protecting and inheriting this traditional skill not only has great scientific research guidance value for today's gold production technology, but also has important historical, cultural and economic value. Since this skill mainly relies on oral transmission between teachers and apprentices, it depends entirely on the understanding and experience of the "goldsmith" to feel and master it, and it is difficult to express it in words. Nowadays, fewer and fewer people can master this traditional skill. Therefore, the gold chute stone stacking stove smelting skill should be protected and inherited as soon as possible.
