Shengjin is also called "original gold", "natural gold" or "barren gold", which is a gold that people mine from the mines or the riverbed and have not been refined. All refined gold is called "cooked gold". Due to the addition of other elements in cooked gold, gold changes in color. People usually call the cooked gold that has been added with metal silver without other metals. The gold is called "mixed gold". K gold is a way of mixed color gold, 4.1666 % of gold ingredients are LK. Gold can be expressed as 24K, 22K, 20K, and 18K, etc. The golden color can also be represented directly with the percentage of the content. Usually, the gold weight is divided into 1,000 copies. For example, 9999 is 9999 % marked on the gold piece, and 58.6 % is marked at 586.

    National standard GB11887-89 regulations. :

    K gold purity minimum value

    8k 333
    n9k 375
    n10k 417
    n12k 500

    14k 585

    18k 750
    n20k 833
