Today, silver seems to have lost its traditional position in society.
Very few have mastered the skills of a silversmith, and some forging processes are almost lost. Silver is present only in jewelry-based products at the mall, and many young people go to Europe to seek the current designs, their own ancient craftsmanship but forgotten.
Chinese silverware culture status and cultural historical value should not be forgotten in the cultural history.
