Artisans fashioned numerous small household articles like jewelry and powder boxes. During the Eastern Han dynasty (75-200AD), Buddhism and the resulting spread of its artistic influence gave rise to the production of the lacquer statues and figurines of the various Buddhist deities.
東漢時，佛教傳入中國，朝野廣建寺廟，大塑佛像。由於夾紵法很容易用來翻製泥塑佛像，漆像乃時興一時，隋唐更為盛行。
