The simplest way to fold Qingming Festival ingots is as follows:

1. First turn the gold foil paper over, and then fold it in half, with the back on the inside and the gold on the outside. After folding one side, fold it in half at the beginning of the fold.

2. Fold the other side in half in the same direction as in the previous step. Pay attention to the same direction, not to both sides! But the position is not one-third, but the edge of this side is aligned with the fold line of the first fold.

3. Fold the four corners of the folded rectangular gold foil paper into triangle corners along the intersection of white and gold.

4. Fold the white side in half along the dividing line between white and gold, and fold it into a golden T shape.

5. Next, open the T-shape from the long side in the middle to both sides, sort out the shape, and a gold ingot will come out.

Yuanbao is made of precious gold or silver. Generally, silver is the most common and gold is rare. In the history of Chinese currency, gold and silver were officially called "yuanbao" starting from the Yuan Dynasty. However, as early as the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, when Kaiyuan Tongbao came into being, the people took it as a large and precious meaning and pronounced it as "Kaiyuan Tongbao". In the Yuan Dynasty, gold and silver coins were called "Yuanbao", which meant the treasure of the Yuan Dynasty.

How to fold gold ingots: Use a rectangular piece of paper, fold two triangles on the left and right sides, and fold the two folded triangles in half along the center line. Fold the left side to the right, fold the right side to the back, and tuck it into the folds. Use your hands to open the bottom and press the top to fold it.
