Filamentary silver hovering art is divided into the northern style and the southern style. The style in Beijing stands for the northern one, while the style in Chengdu stands for the southern one. The southern style, which still keeps the natural color of silver, becomes a very popular style among collectors after the 20th century. Dao An is the only inheritor(传承人) who has learned the full set of filamentary silver hovering art. For more than 40 years, she has made efforts to spread Chinese culture at home and abroad. Born in 1962, Dao An became interested in drawing from childhood. Since junior high school, she had taken school subjects during the day and studied painting at a night school. In 1980, she worked for a filamentary silver hovering art company. Because of her excellent painting ability, she began to create silver filament artworks on her own. However, she was not satisfied with them. In order to make better silver filament artworks, Dao An had been studying hard for more than ten years. Finally, she became one of the very few masters of filamentary silver hovering art in China. By the late 1990s,however, influenced by the market, many filamentary silver hovering art factories had been shut out. Dao An didn't want the art to die out, so she decided to set up a workroom. She wanted more people to have a chance to own their silver filament artworks. “ The silver has no temperature, but filamentary silver hovering art makes the metal warm," Dao An said. “ And it is worth being known by more people.
