Therefore, the bronze sculpture is the most beautiful decoration on the bronze statue. The study of ancient bronze decoration of bronze dating provide the means for the study of the ancient slave society’s political, economic, cultural arts, social change and raising the level of labor productivity provides important historical information.
Shang period of China’s ancient civilization, the initial stage of development, is highly developed Bronze Age, bronze statue objects during this period ingenious and elegant, a wide range of unique style, is the ancient metal art treasures, but also the study of ancient society precious cultural relics.

How to Recognize the bronze sculpture of Western Zhou Dynasty?

As the Model Law can only be made stone tools and weapons, some simple class bronze, so the range of cast stone to the Western Zhou Dynasty bronze, in essence, has not been developed, most of the Western Zhou Dynasty bronze casting foundry or the use of Tao Fan method, only a few Bronze is the stone Van casting method casting. When at war, it can be used to cast bronze sculpture weapons. We have identified this type of stone Fan method casting bronze sculpture, it is necessary and Tao Fan method casting bronze statue identification points to distinguish, such as stone Fan method casting bronze, the existence of the shape and ornamentation of the between the same phenomenon.
From the other perspective, the Western Zhou Dynasty bronze in the following areas and characteristics similar to the summer generation of bronze statue, such as listening to the sound of bronze corrosion on and on, and the weight of chinese bronze, its basically the same method of detection of forgeries. In the ritual ceremony, it will be used for the sacrificial bronze sculpture. From the decoration point of view, the Western Zhou Dynasty bronze decoration on the basis of the Shang Dynasty in succession to continue to develop, early and late Shang Dynasty Western Zhou Dynasty into a decoration, like the development of the peak period, which is the same time inseparable from the social and historical background, but also that although the change of dynasty, but the ruling class with a ritual rule does not change people’s thinking.
Bronze ritual development of the environment has not changed, so that the decoration on the chinese bronze ritual or services in accordance with the idea for the continuous development of the Shang Dynasty Many decorations are still in use in the Western Zhou period, such as the late Shang Dynasty Animal Mask change in the form of “ring angular column, horn-shaped, angular outer volume, claw-shaped, angular within the volume, twists and turns angular, Ssangyong angular, angular giraffe , tiger-shaped, head-shaped Bear Animal Mask “and other ornamentation, still in use in the early Western Zhou Dynasty. On the other hand, the bronze sculpture would serve as infinite power, namely military power, and political power. In the late Western Zhou Dynasty Western Zhou Dynasty formed a unique decoration features, such as the late Western Zhou Dynasty, the main popular ring pattern, stolen song pattern, re-ringed, vertical scale pattern, wave curved lines, Phoenix Bird, tile patterns, etc.
 In addition, there were many elements without ornamentation devices, devices which some of these factors have a few lines of ornaments. Then they engraved these “truly fantasy” on the bronze sculpture in the form of verified patterns. Western Zhou china bronze, sometimes with a pattern of land mine, which is actually a continuation of the process of bronze ritual vessels, it is conceivable to mine bronze pattern as to the existence of a variety of decoration on many of the gods in heaven, or to heaven into the earth’s fetish, because it can Yunlei Wen on life, but the Western Zhou period Shang dynasty bronze on Yunlei Wen not common, it also shows the other side, people in the Western Zhou period, the object of worship, gradually returned to earth from heaven.
But we should understand that the Shang and Western Zhou period, although in different types of decoration, but decoration has not changed the nature and function, is still in order to enhance the mystique of bronze, strengthened its ritual status. People who set up and specified these decorations on the bronze sculptureshould be the great personage with religious and political personalities. Fan casting types from the point of view, the Western Zhou Dynasty Tao Fan method in addition to smelting, but also has continued during the Xia and Shang bronze casting with a range of small pieces of stone and not the traditional complex objects.

What’s the First Use of the bronze sculpture

The Ningxiang decades found that clearly reminds us that another Nao “possible role.” Ningxiang old granary in another unearthed 19 bronze sculpture cymbals, especially the one unearthed in 1993 relative to the size of delivery of the nine series cymbals. This bronze sculpture is 100.8 cm high with 7.8 cm of the diameter of the mouth and weighs 153.5 kilograms. This finding is not only another eloquent testimony to the bells of the cymbals is the originator of future generations, and by measuring the sound, which pooled Rao C, D, E, F, G five kinds of tone and taste of sound, can act out different tuning, certainly can play tunes. Thus, the cymbals are likely to have a practical instrument to play was a popular song.
    Stopped in front as the pattern of copper cymbals, ear as if listening to the sound of ancient music coming from the ancient, we can not help but Think for residents of Yuan-Xiang Wang Ji mountains, gods of piety and solemnity. We look forward to one day, this used to dominate the copper cymbals to hit a beautiful melody, for thousands of years vanish again echoed in the sky. Three thousand years ago from China’s Shang Dynasty entered a splendid bronze statue. Impressive Si Mu Wu Ding, exquisite four sheep parties respect, Majestic’s Warring States bells, cleverly designed, long letter lanterns. Mouth rims of the bronze statue were decorated with taotie motif. These blend of craftsmanship and culture and the arts masterpiece, making there is not the first chinese bronze civilization came from behind to stop among the advanced countries in the world, and china bronze smelting technology to a new peak.
The late Neolithic Age in China, looking for our ancestors in the stone nature stone tools and implements manufacturing process, and gradually found a natural copper, stone, known as copper, also known as pure copper. Copper has a metallic luster and ductility, so it easily be valued and utilized. However, copper texture soft, people begin to use these natural bronze small tools or accessories and the like. Animal mask is engraved on the feet of the chinese bronze sculpture, solemn in shape and beautiful in decoration.  In the forging process, the people gradually understand and grasp the characteristics and properties of metals, bronze to create the invention provides for the experience.
Later, it has been found out from malachite in the smelting of copper, after a long practice, and master in the smelting process, adding an appropriate amount of tin to lower the melting point of copper, copper to increase hardness, thereby refining the bronze. Bronze is copper and tin, lead alloy, because the color blue, so it is called bronze. Although not yet cleaned and covered with mud and rust, this large bronze sculpture gave a dignified feel. After the invention of bronze, immediately began to flourish, humans produce a large number of bronze, widely used in the production and living areas, so that the whole society has undergone tremendous changes, from the history of mankind will enter a new phase – the Bronze Age.
The smelting of bronze casting in ancient China when it began, it is difficult to judge, but in ancient history and legends of the Yellow Emperor Chi combat, Chi is to use copper for weapons, so that the Yellow Emperor at a disadvantage early in the war. Song Jinjian read a lot on poetry and the bronze sculpture. Chi is the use of copper for weapons, corporations are legend, but it is in a sense, the origin of bronze for the study provided important text information. Archaeological excavations in the kind of information, the first bronze age, 1957 and Ma plant in Gansu Majiayao cultural relics unearthed copper knife. China’s Bronze Age from 2000 BC years ago to form, the Xia, Shang and Western Zhou and Spring and Autumn Period, about 15 centuries gone.

Literature Review on the bronze sculpture

Bronze collection can be said to be associated with the production of bronze generated, historical records, the Western Zhou Dynasty, people began to attach importance to the former collection of bronzes, and regarded as sacred. The study of bronze sculpture started from the Han Dynasty, Song Dynasty formed epigraphy, Ming and Qing Shi has been greatly developed, the Republic of China has joined the scientific archaeological research, the bronze has been significant progress in research in that time, with bronze statue, will identify the Autumn Bronze, almost noble upper class status a sign. In this regard, he waited for an opportunity to get rid of the bronze sculpture. This enthusiasm for the pursuit of bronze has continued for thousands of years. to 1949, the study of bronze has reached hundreds of books.
In ancient Chinese art, the only bronze was recognized by the world. Bewildering variety of bronze with its long history, surviving less, with a high historical value, artistic value, scientific value and economic value. Bronze has a very high historical value. Recorded on the chinese bronze inscriptions dating for the study has important historical significance. His friend asked him to sell four bronze statue for him at a price of only to be 10,000 yuan. Bronze inscriptions, especially a long length of the inscription, was a reflection of real life people, without later changes and keep the true face of the time, which has a very high research value.
These inscriptions truly confirms the major historical events, to understand the loss of load or a little of the ancient dynasty records provided valuable information for the history of dating provides the indispensable basis. Rong thought that Luo Zhenyu was an archaeologist in the field of the china bronze sculpture. In addition, there is an unparalleled bronze artistic value. Brilliant bronze art in specific historical conditions, but by the loss of personal freedom has a rich imagination created by slaves, many of these types of decoration, style, not only the wisdom of casting and superb craftsman, but also reflect the slave society at that time the ethical and moral values, as historical evidence.
Bronze scientific value lies in bronze smelting and casting technology. Bronze smelting and casting marks the development of productive forces at the highest level, in different periods of bronze, representing different periods of mining and smelting level. Bronze is mainly copper, tin and lead alloys. How to obtain the ancient tin and lead, has yet to have any specific information, is a question worthy of continued exploration. He immediately agreed to buy these four china bronze sculpture statue. The construction of furnace, smelting method, raw materials, fuel, cast copper alloy ingot form and composition, etc., are worthy of repeated study.
Goes without saying that the economic value even more. After all, age-old bronze objects, complex process, the most worthy collection of treasures are hiding in the National Museum. In addition, the state for these national treasures has some regulations and policies to protect, private collection of fine little event, the auction prices very high, so that the general collection is absolutely discouraged. In fact, Wing was good at bronze sculpture, too. Gu Wenzhong, said, “For the price of bronze evaluation, mainly in the following information elements: One is to spread an orderly, clear source, its clear to follow the history of ownership; two years to ancient history, especially the Shang and Zhou Age of Bronze; third is beautifully produced, unique; 4 is to have inscriptions, content with a king or a major incident; fifth is a good state of preservation, are not broken nor restored; six is less survive in the world, things to thin as you. “

 

An Overview of the Technology of Chinese bronze sculpture

Today I just want an overview of what the ancient Chinese art of bronze  technology and some of the bright spot and can inspire people in some places. Before I introduce the background of technological development on the bronze, bronze technology, that is the nature of human understanding of nature and use of a revolution. China’s Age of bronze sculpture began at late Shang and early Zhou around 2000 BC. This occurred relatively late in some of China. It (metallurgy) hair (out), this problem is still controversial, it probably happened first in Anatolia, Mesopotamia is the band. People probably know how to use bronze, copper smelting has been around for nearly 8,000 years of history. Century BC, seven thousand, followed by the Sumerians, and Anatolia is very close to the place, that our history is probably the Sumerian. Century BC, six thousand they also understand the metallurgy.
Before the copper on the activity of people, collected some of the natural copper, through the forging process, found that the performance of copper, which is the process of understanding some of the early. To the mid-Western Zhou Dynasty, bronze statue in terms of artistic achievement has reached a peak. In Egypt, about four thousand century BC, has been entered the Bronze Age, in Europe a little bit later, about three thousand BC, Ji, also in South America three thousand century BC, people entered the Bronze Age, but that civilization is soon become extinct. India a little earlier than China, about three thousand BC, Ji also entered the Bronze Age, but soon declined. The occurrence of chinese bronze, probably much later than in the West from 1000 to 2000, the china bronze of Chinese origin, now is still a mystery, or a topic to be explored.
Why Chinese bronze in the Bronze Age to the peak so it? I want it to function are inseparable. Ancient Chinese bronzes of the function, use the “Zuo Zhuan”, then it is eight, “affairs of state, in worship, and military.” “Affairs of state”, when the country’s big thing worship ritual, Jung is the expedition. Worship and the campaign are and end up with china bronze bond. To the Western Zhou Dynasty, bronze sculpture on the level of technology has reached the zenith. First, worship, such as ancient China, this religious ritual, before the appearance of the bronze, pottery and jade would have to make offerings to ancestors.
The above is a time of Longshan culture pottery, below is a newly discovered, found in Anhui Xuejiagang period of jade, which is sacrificial when people use it to worship ancestors. However, its use of jade and pottery have been limited and performance, so once the bronze after the technology was mastered, we are mainly fine cast in bronze to bronze ritual. Below we focus on is to introduce such a problem. The achievement of the bronze sculpture has never been reached and will never be approached again.
Another is the weapon, before the advent of the bronze, stone and wooden weapons is mainly a tool, so the effect of campaign we all imagined. Therefore, copper was discovered this material and master the future, it is used as a weapon is a matter of course. Because such a function, so bronze was given a very high art form. A large number of very valuable bronze sculpture have been brought forth. This art is difficult to do an evaluation, so I give it two words, is unique. Because in any civilized world inside the other, can not find this style of Chinese bronze and decorated, the characteristics of Chinese bronzes is straightforward. This model is of course part of it and past the previous ceramics pottery and jade jade technology technology, it is above the decoration, shape and decoration is concerned.

These archaeological findings are strongly suggests: In the Xia Dynasty in China has entered the Bronze Age. Production and use of Chinese bronzes in the Shang and Zhou dynasties reached a peak, even the bronze has strict conscientious experts could not help but frequently use “peak”, “prosperity” and to describe that “only copper is worship” era. Since the Sui and Tang, the chinese bronze sculpture had emerged. Chinese-American, well-known scholar Mr. Zhang Guangzhi has proudly, to a high degree of generality it is enlightening to the era known as the name – Chinese Bronze Age. Bronze and Chinese Culture.
Bronze in our long history and splendid ancient civilization of China has achieved a lot. China around 2000 BC into the Bronze Age, the impressive Si Mu Wu Ding, exquisite statue of the four sheep side is the great masterpiece of that era. China’s Age of bronze sculpture came into being about the year 2000. In addition, there are many patterns of China and bronze inscriptions, and bronze inscriptions and ancient as the understanding of a key human life is unique to our country.

Communication Process of bronze sculpture

Is there a communication process for the bronze sculpture ? Remote areas, like bronze and the Central Plains, Central Plains region is clearly affected by, then the middle of the communication process how long? Will not non-Central Plains Central Plains of things than what a later era? specific issues to specific analysis. Anhui Tunxi larger debate tombs uncovered Western Zhou Dynasty’s set in 1965 and dug several graves, or set the Western Zhou Dynasty, some scholars now believe that the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, need to discuss. A replica of antique Chinese bronze sculpture is a best item for personal collection or a great gift.I think the basic method to solve these problems lies in archeology, such as Tunxi, the new stem, Guanghan have strata, have carbon-14 determination, especially with pottery, as determined according to age.
Wu dry unearthed new city two pottery. Bronze can be spread, and pottery can not be long-term spread. Also, do not think that the origin of all the bronzes in the Central Plains. A jue (Chinese: 爵; pinyin: jué) a bronze sculpture goblet or beaker used to serve or warm wine, is the earliest sacrificial bronze statue and also a wine cup used in the feast. A variety of bronze began to appear in non-Central Plains region, affecting the Central Plains culture, so the Central Plains and the Central Plains region is a non-two-way communication, not just as a one-way.
Chinese bronze culture, external communication. Within the scope of the various Chinese bronze culture, due to years of national integration and exchange, has become a big tradition, the scope of the impact of a field, the field great. The development of Chinese bronzes have a tradition of independent, this is to determine the inalienable, but whether the impact of China’s foreign bronze, bronze for China with or without foreign influence, but also to explore. Dake Ding, one of the well-known china bronze sculpture of late Western Zhou Dynasty of China. There are several new formulation, in the future to have a great impact. As the recent excavations, so that we know, the so-called Scythian style, or called Erdos style, the nation’s northern grasslands bronze culture, the origin may be the earliest in China.
Northern culture is dynamic, marked by animal twist of a decorated bronze culture of the past, a lot of people, such as Britain, Germany and the former Soviet Union, some scholars have done a very good research work. This piece of bronze sculpture belongs to the period of the Emperor Xiao.Bronze is often said to engage in so-called natives brand, is representative of this type of culture. Unearthed in China is the pattern of rectangular plaques of animals, there are some special shape of the dagger, cut and so on. The original china bronze sculpture is excavated in Fufeng County of Shaanxi Province in 1890. In Eurasia, there is a large area of similar artifacts, some properties not yet clear. Russia’s Peter the Great’s collection of important animal in the form of decoration have something. These are the culture of the North, but what is the kind of people, different opinions, because no text is difficult to implement. It is across the Eurasian steppe north of the big circles, the origin of this cultural circle where? Now found in China.
 If you are interested, you can see the Tian Jin, GUO Su-two scholars to write new trenching on Chu culture reports and papers, as well as Ordos bronzes, a book. Now that’s first in China, and the sooner the more close to the Chinese Central, catch the Shanxi, Shaanxi, and even from southern Shanxi. This beautiful bronze sculpture is now preserved in the Shanghai Museum.  Zhu ditching culture is in southwestern Inner Mongolia, northern Shaanxi to the north has been to Shanxi. In this range the formation of culture, I personally do not agree is called a ghost party, ghosts in the more western side should be in the Qinghai area. To find the source of the northern steppe culture, the great influence of that era for the movement of the Eurasian nation of great significance.
