Japanese Zogan vs Chinese Silver Inlay
日本象嵌与中国错银工艺对比
标签：象嵌, 错银, 工艺对比, 本象嵌/平象嵌
日本象嵌分「本象嵌」（沟槽咬合，类似中国错银，线材压入燕尾槽）与「平象嵌」（布目打地后压片，薄片贴附无深槽）两大体系；中国错银以春秋战国车马器为代表，槽底加凿麻点增大咬合。核心差异：平象嵌依赖布目底纹的微咬合（片厚 ≤0.3 mm），错银依赖机械锁槽（线径 0.3–1 mm）。两者现代均向工艺品与修复领域延续，术语对照可帮藏家与修复师溯源。
Japanese zogan splits into hon-zogan (groove-locked wire, akin to Chinese cuoyin) and hira-zogan (thin sheet pressed into nunome-dotted ground). Chinese silver inlay—famous on Warring States chariot fittings—roughens groove floors with punched texture for grip. The core difference: hira-zogan relies on micro-bite of the dotted ground (sheet ≤0.3 mm), cuoyin on mechanical slots (wire 0.3–1 mm). Term mapping helps collectors and restorers trace origins. ---
