These stages or in the casting is technically innovative, the shape or type of decoration on the unique way the content and performance characteristics. The total production is characterized by large, beautifully cast, style, constantly updated and lively.
Bronze culture was dying in the context of the production and use of bronze mirrors have shown a scene of prosperity, not just objective extend the life of China's bronze culture, and bronze mirrors and the world cultural comparison, also has very strong and unique cultural implication. Hence, they worshipped and adored the bronze sculpture with incomparable piety. Therefore, the Japanese scholar Mei original end of treatment in the ancient mirror takes to say, said: with copper as the main component of metal mirror produced in the Near East, Southern Europe and other ancient cultural circles Asian countries have been in existence. The dragon patterns, kui dragon patterns, phoenix patterns and cicada patterns of china bronze sculpture are some of the proof. But East Asia with China as the center of the bronze mirror, its shape and material of the well, casting delicate, almost shoulder to shoulder not the former; Ding Yi device with the so-called container, is known to the world of ancient China to boast an arts and crafts, which is the obvious fact. Warring States bronze mirrors the development of the cultural background.
Development to the Warring States bronze mirror, casting only from the geographical point of view has far exceeded any previous period. Since the late Western Zhou Dynasty, when the system is almost ritual Disintegration, Wei Ling Yi, while princes are keen to engage in power politics between the Warring Qin policy called The Emperor to the princes, the world Mogan not listen. The progress of the Chinese bronze sculpture has underwent the Xia, Shang and Zhou.

Striving to become dominant, the first condition is to enhance its own strength, so that countries have also conducted a number of political and economic reforms. Lu on the farm, recorded Fanmin from seven feet or more, are all three officers.
Farming millet attack, attack devices work, Jia attack cargo. Result of the reform, so that the vassal state of the national strength has increased to varying degrees, but also to promote social progress. The style of china bronze sculpture runs from the dignified and solemn art to simple, concise and crisp style. This progress is mainly in the handicraft industry and commercial aspects, and then bronze mirror and cultural development, but also thanks to these two aspects. From handicraft, first of all, Bronze casting is no longer the royal patent, Ye Tong and bronze range has seen unprecedented expansion. Well now Inner Mongolia, Hubei Tonglushan, Hunan nine Bay, red wood Anhui, Shanxi Houma, Luoyang, Henan and other places have found Xinzheng large Yetong site.

The decoration on the chinese bronze sculpture proceeds from the majestic taotie, kui pattern to metical qiequ pattern. The blue mid-Warring States bronze greatly increased the number of mirror, bronze mirror makes it possible commercialization. Liaoning, Inner Mongolia, Sichuan, Guangdong and Guangxi areas or other places, have unearthed a few of the Central Plains region had the same style of blue bronze mirrors, bronze circles, as traders note the flow and expansion, which is the political power can not reach. Warring States bronze mirror the characteristics of. Overall, the sophisticated appearance, workmanship are bronze mirrors the highlights of the Warring States Period features.

The crest coils down the wings really is seldom seen among the phoenix styles on the bronze sculpture
It to the nose as the center line, on both sides for the symmetrical arrangement, the first is the top corner, corner under the eyes, the image of more specific Animal Mask in the head still on the brow, the purpose of both sides and some have ears Most animal surface pattern with varicose claws, both sides have started around the end of the body or animals and they can be roughly divided into four categories: The overall decorations of the chinese bronze sculpture are rich and well arranged. independent taotie (only independent Animal mask pattern, no claws and body), Qi Mei taotie (animal surface on both sides with a trunk, tail differences), Siamese Animal Mask (Animal mask connected on both sides of the trunk, rear winch instead of differences), decomposition Animal Mask (no Shoumian profile, angle, eyebrows, eyes, ear, nose, mouth and other organs of the same location and independent Animal Mask).
Although the composition of taotie put together, but it does not mean that it is arbitrary patchwork. The patterns of china bronze sculpture are vivid, lively and lovely. Shang people did not like the concept of a gluttonous, but they are in real life, all kinds of animals (which is a large animal) found its proper nature, so gluttonous in shaping the image, they will integrate the sheep (cattle ) angle (on behalf of distinguished), the acknowledged leaders (good identified), snake (mystery), eagle (chivalrous), Toba (good fly), etc.
This is the reality of the Shang people trying to expand the limited capacity of the pursuit of ideals and infinite a state of mind performance. On the neck of the bronze sculpture are two young phoenixes with bending feathers and crests back to back. Ning Li has a mysterious monster that people familiar with the animal’s organs, which allows people to quickly experience how to respond to the emotional taotie harbor. The myth of the origins of the rich flavor and appearance of the exaggerated, making the taotie hideous, mysterious and majestic, daunting.
The general outline has been fixed taotie, facial organs are in shape, sometimes for the sake of a unique design, there are some facial differences. The relief made up of animal heads and raised nails form a two-sides-continual bands circling around the bronze sculpture. If for leafy ears, and some cloud-like ears; some eyebrows on the head. Some are not. Overall, however, these are just subtle changes, the visual impact of the little people, not apparent uniqueness. External expansion space large goblet angle, then became an important symbol of publicity Shoumian personality.
Casting by gradually be enlarged to the point of striking and startling, and pains in the shape design, taotie horns become the main features of a claw-like. On the belly of china bronze sculpture are two pairs of large-sized phoenix motif turning heads to each other. Horn-like, cloud-like, T-shaped, rectangular, Kui isometric shape, within the volume two-way, angle-side outside the volume, isometric angle-side up, and some thick, some slender, can be described as strange things.
Taotie is undoubtedly the most important features of its head. No matter what changes, and ultimately, almost all of which taotie of sparkle, not anger from the prestige of the giant head. It stared with the outside world, shocked the people, but also to attract people’s attention. The crest coils down the wings really is seldom seen among the phoenix styles on the bronze sculpture. Taotie much as the theme pattern in bronze in the abdomen, a small amount in the foot. Wide space to display enough room for it, give it eye-catching position is more dominant and sense of dignity. Dragon is also characterized by a variety of animals, a combination of fantasy animal decoration, it is equally strange mystery, full of majesty and power, but no terrorist taotie of Ning Li, and gradually from a variety of totem decoration emerged as the Chinese national symbol.

Inherent Implication of china bronze sculpture
Shang bronze decoration is rich in implication and the rhythm of the organic integration of form, aesthetic pleasure in include a social utilitarian. From the existing decoration of view, its much more than its symbolic decoration, which has so far silent pattern of religious people speak of the concept of Shang and etiquette, and his master's will and expectations of the rulers. In brief, it is a treasure hard to come by in the midst of Wu’s bronze sculpture. The bronze was the performance of the myth of content and ideas, and some may be related to the various tribal totem was on, was the reflection of cultural backgrounds. And some may be marked with the imprint of the social life of the times. But now the myth related to already lost many of the social history of historical events has been the past, we naturally lose the cultural background of the break time basis.
The aesthetic mood was still being revealed in the bronze ornamentation. Bronze decoration of the equipment, mainly for communication between man and God’s religion into account functional considerations and utensils. The first is to consider religious function. Shang is revere the first ghost of age, of heaven and earth, gods, respect for nature dominates man’s thinking, and human self-consciousness is still in the stage looked. The chinese bronze sculpture designers of Wu bronze creates these artworks full of artistic charm. Bronze Age ancestors as gods of communication, close to the world of ritual, must also determine its decoration is a symbol of religious meaning, and should have provided the decoration features.

Chinese bronze mirrors the start button located in the center of the mirror back to form their own tradition
771 BC, the Western Zhou Rong people under attack in the fall of the following year King Ping reign, traveled east to become Zhou dynasty from sluggish, the state is becoming divided. The bronze sculpture in question is the Grade One cultural relic of China. This affects the bronze art, there has been a large number of nations works. It is noteworthy that, in the spring and early Western Zhou bronze largely a continuation of tradition. Their shape, decoration, and inscriptions of the format, similar to the late Western Zhou Dynasty still and there is no fundamental change.
Bronze style of the new changes, began in Spring and Autumn Period. Pan Chi pattern of production and popularity as a sign of the change. Pan Wen Chi is still the myth of animals by the snakes and the like pose, but it's just a recurring pattern, decoration and business is very different from the Western Zhou Dynasty. The original china bronze sculpture was found in Shaanxi province, China, in 1967. Change shape of bronze is also very significant in the past that imposing strict weather, gradually substituting fresh and beautiful style. Bronze artistic development of the second peak, so tend to form.
Bronze emergence of developing a second peak, and a series of new technology implementation are inextricably linked. Spring and Autumn Period, copper inlay pattern started to spread, including through the embedded device visible on both sides. The bronze sculpture is now preserved at Shaanxi Museum. Subsequently, gold and silver inlay decoration and inscriptions emerge, to bring brilliant color artifacts. Spring and Autumn occasion, because of the sharper tools (steel), line engraved pattern popular. Then, gilt silver skill is also widely popular, while another painting.
Also special mention, the lost wax casting in mid-spring, and a very high standard. This is in line with the second peak of the characteristics of the bronzes, is advocating a tiny detail, Fan Li complex decoration. This bronze sculpture is shaped in the form of rhinoceros, very vivid close to the real one. Many very fine hollow or twisted up like carved ornaments, is out to the lost wax method. Evolution in its development of this second peak, the bronzes show an unprecedented new look. This new look, new style, encompassing the late Spring and Autumn to the Warring States, and some revival in the early Han Dynasty, the nearly 400 years old.
Same period, the art of bronze culture in remote areas have outstanding progress, especially in Sichuan, Yunnan, Sichuan and Yunnan culture culture, tradition and art have their own unique characteristics. In the second peak, the expansion of Chinese bronzes with the use of universal, daily turn onto the road. In fact this trend on the horizon in the late Warring States to the full performance of the mid-Western Han Dynasty. The chinese bronze sculpture also has a lid on the back of the rhinoceros that is attached with an axle and can be opened. The shape is basically standardized objects, most of the lack of variation, the most common pattern of the plain there is no device, Ming Wen also only a simple format. Eastern Han Dynasty, a large bronze by other devices within the species - such as porcelain, iron replaced.
Bronze art of life, in the bronze mirror of the most ancient species continued. Chinese bronze mirrors the start button located in the center of the mirror back to form their own tradition, which has been regulating the family can be traced back to prehistoric culture. The whole body of china bronze sculpture is decorated with ornate clouds, smooth, stretching and fine. Through the Shang and Western Zhou, bronze mirror bronze in the art of the second peak reached its apogee, the mirror has become the well-known Chinese cultural treasures. Since then, the Sui and Tang dynasties into the mirror because of new technologies (such as embedded inlaid with mother, sets of silver shell, etc.), show a new glory.

Antique Chinese bronze
What is chinese bronze sculpture? When did the earliest bronze sculpture was produced in China? This bronze collectors and interested in people who master the identification of technology, is a first question should be clear. From the archaeological perspective, refers specifically to the Shang and Western Zhou China Bronze, Spring and Autumn period, bronze objects, these objects in order to copper-based, adding a small amount of tin and lead casting, the color was schungite named objects.
The main types of tools, weapons, cooking device, food, wine, water heater, Seoul device, traveling, etc.. Shapes, exquisite ornamentation, calligraphy inscriptions for the treasure. Shang and early Western Zhou bronze objects, shapes dignified thick, fine ornate, decoration, mostly taotie, Kui dragon, animal prints and geometric patterns; vigorous ancient inscriptions, generally fewer words. On the whole, this bronze sculpture gives a solemn and dignified sense. From the mid-Western Zhou Dynasty Spring and Autumn Period, Style become simple, put up random shapes, decorations are mostly fine lines, geometric patterns, but the lengthy inscriptions than the previous increase, this may be the text developed because of it. The expression the bronze sculpture given is of fine resemblance. The late Spring and Autumn Warring States Period, decoration in addition to seven fine shape light animal patterns, geometric patterns, there are carved with thin hunting, war, party pattern.
Bronze is an epoch-making invention of the creation of our business, the Western Zhou Dynasty, Spring and Autumn period, three belong to the Bronze Age history. The earliest Chinese bronzes at what time? There is a legend called Chi You Zuobing. According to legend, the Yellow Emperor Chi attack troops commanded tribal headquarters, the two sides’ war on Zhuolu wild, the beginning of war the military Chi score one victory, because they are the cradle of Ge, Shu, Ji, Emirates spear, spear razed five different weapons, estimated that these weapon is made of copper. This replica of china bronze sculpture has perfectly presently the curves and lines of the rhinoceros. Later, the Yellow Emperor produced a guide for car wars, only to reverse the situation of the war and subdued Chi. Zi-hua Son also reads: To celebrate the victory, the Yellow Emperor is not sent to the first mountain mining copper, and copper ore will be transported to the foot of Jingshan ZD, as a commemoration of the victory.
To our most ancient bronzes unearthed date Majiayao bronze knife is concerned, the earliest Chinese bronze products will never be later than the time four thousand years ago before the Xia Dynasty to establish that there have been prior to bronze. This bronze sculpture can be claimed as one especially excellent artwork. Majiayao cultural sites located in Gansu Dongxiang, unearthed bronze sword casting range is a single color, and King City in Henan, the village board Kong, Taiwan and Yancheng Huaiyang food Hao Ping Shan ancient ruins in Taiwan, found objects left behind by the casting bronze slag. These findings were sufficient to show: the first generation of Chinese bronze in 4000 when the time years ago.
China’s influence in the world bronze, and as much as the ancient Great Wall. Interested in the identification of skills to master bronze Among scholars, foreign collectors really want to get a bronze device is self-evident. What Ex-President Jiang Zemin has presented to Ex-President Clinton is a rhino china bronze sculpture. Why Chinese bronzes could be so attracted to many collectors it? It is the objects dictates its own unique charm.

According to the study of heritage experts and Zhao Yu: This statue of the last century about the Sino-Japanese War was often Anhui Funan Zhu Zhaizhen Miaoxiang one hundred village farmers Zhangdian Chun Yun river fishing in the fish, then fish out a total of 13 ancient bronze, after the abduction of the reactionary bureaucrats and despotic landlord, living in Japan after this piece was Chin CD Division’s home collection. There is a symbolic design used in Chinese sacrificial bronze sculpture 3,000 years ago. In 1953, Japanese scholars Xiping possession of six pairs of respect taotie three cattle identification, and write with Chinese characters on the wooden box: The taotie design is one of the most fantastic and imaginative to be found among chinese bronze sculpture designs. This device One foot II inches high, diameter One size, form and grow, and decorated belly the expense of the first device , taotie carry on its sacrifice first of the Alien, taotie of Expressed sharp, truly the treasure is also available. Whole body with a black rind copper, copper and with the green of the old rust-stained, welcome it, re-excavated handed down, loves the results, the thinking also. Showa Kimi (1953) of the winter, Xiping possession six and watch.
Since 2006, the first shot, the bronze has been the focus of Macao Chong source auction scene in 2007, the company still sold a few pieces of over one million yuan fine bronze. High 28 cm Zhou snail body shot wild animal wine container when the spring to high turnover of 4.6 million Hong Kong dollars (Figure 11), wine container for the beam lifting type device takes the shape of flat round, high ring foot, beam lifting both ends of the first beast.

This wine container device wall inscribed with the history of Father Ding 3 word inscription. Turnover of 2.76 million Hong Kong dollars Animal Mask of the Shang Dynasty jade cup with ears, up to 46.5 cm,-type huge, and rare, jade cup with ears round, extravagant mouth, beam neck, belly, belly bottom outside the arc, outside the written commitments under the three tip foot. The style of the bronze sculpture of Xia Dynasty should be the forms of transition from the pottery of Liangzhu Culture. Rim-shaped bacteria have two columns, decorative capitals from the fire lines.

If the trading price of the Ming and Qing bronze increase compared to the apparently high ancient bronze overseas market there is a gap. As an important ritual bronze sculpture, ding is equivalent to a symbol of solidarity, unity and authority and the mascot on behalf of peace, development and prosperity. By the 2007 New York, London, market situation, the number of bronze on the film was greatly reduced, showing that the liquidity of European markets is quite limited, if there are no major collector or collection agency hands, this situation is difficult future change.

Respect the set of four rams side line carving, relief, sculpture in the round in control, the three-dimensional graphic images and sculptures combine the utensils and animal shapes combined with superb casting exception is made, Creative, just right, indeed the most ancient bronze art One of the outstanding treasures.
Spring and Autumn period, the chinese bronze sculpture on behalf of the Marquis Yi of Zeng bells, it is China's largest remaining and best preserved set of large bells. 8 groups, divided into three layers hanging in the copper bell made of wood shelves. Bell aircraft by six samurai sword of bronze and a few supporting columns. 65 bells total weight of 3500 kg. Wide range, five octaves, only one less than the modern piano octave.
China's largest existing bronze sculpture "Si Mu Wu Ding" (formerly) appeared in this era. Si Mu Wu Ding muddy with traditional casting methods out of the whole cast. Casting before modeling with clay, and then turn Fan, Fan Fan sub-belly, the top range, and wash the mouth end of Van Van. After Fan system, combined into a mold. Si Mu Wu Ding of the rival powers are with the entire cast as a single entity. Three of the tripartite balance of the mouth as the casting time of casting, a tripartite as exhaust. Casting, cast a large leg of the tripod placed outside the furnace, the furnace when the molten bronze, the juice from the three tripartite copper mouth wash mouth slowly to the mold in the range of perfusion, Ding body cast is good, then In the above security mode, turn Fan, cast tripod ears. In this way, a huge cast Si Mu Wu Ding it out. Si Mu Wu Ding need two or three hundred big man with seven generals jin heavy helmet, collaboration can be made.
Si Mu Wu Ding found a legendary experience. March 1939, only unearthed in Henan Anyang Ding Hou Zhuang Wuguan family farm in the village of Wu Yuyao, too much for Ding, temporarily unable to carry, buried back to earth again. Japanese invaders repeatedly exaction, as against looting, people put it into the ground until after the war, only brought to light, now in the Museum of Chinese History collection.
Four sheep Shang Fang statue is another well-known china bronze sculpture. Square shape of four rams magnificent statue, creating motion in static. It is divided into three parts on the lower. Jin Zhang of the square horn-shaped mouth, Collage, length 52.4 cm each, almost close to the body height of 58.3 cm.

Some bronze sculpture can be determined based on their absolute age of the inscriptions
The first step is identification Discrimination. The second step is the most important step is to study to determine the value of a piece of the real thing, with proper evaluation. To determine the value of each piece of china bronze sculpture, we must first determine the age and cultural nature. Some bronze sculpture can be determined based on their absolute age of the inscriptions, generally should determine the age or stage (relative age). Cultural nature generally refers to the Central Plains bronze sculpture or Ba bronze sculpture, Dian bronze sculpture. Then from its shape, decoration, inscriptions and other aspects of casting-depth study of ancient bronze sculpture with the known and compare the findings to determine its own development of ancient chinese bronze sculpture in history, paleography, and art history and casting in the history of ancient Chinese history, status and significance of the study to determine its value.
The bronze sculpture of the basic method of identification:
Mainly comparison. Whether the detection of forgeries, or of the value of a piece of bronze sculpture, is the use of the known ancient bronze sculpture and its research results and value for the contrast method. Known in different periods and cultures of various types of china bronze sculpture features and value, and constantly learn new discoveries of ancient bronze sculpture and new research results, personally touching observation of counterfeit goods, be possible to do the appraisal. In addition, it should gradually promote the introduction of modern scientific and technological means, such as X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy and TL Van determination of soil and so on.

In addition, it should gradually promote the introduction of modern scientific and technological means, such as X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy and TL Van determination of soil and so on.
bronze sculpture age discrimination
Fake can be divided into four stages.
The first phase, Yuan, Ming period. Song Jin Shi Xuexing after starting from the ancient china bronze sculpture and art appreciation as research data products, competing public and private collections, hardly bronze sculpture has a high economic value. Therefore, merchants began to fake since the Song Dynasty. Song of counterfeit goods have been found in the Song Dynasty bronze sculpture of the record book.
The second stage, the early Qing Dynasty to Jiaqing period. As the economic recovery and development, promotion of the rulers, a new development of epigraphy, fake also flourished. At this point the Song Dynasty bronze sculpture is a replica of the main catalog fake. Characterized the entire device are false, that is, those devices are pseudo-pseudo-Ming, fake low level of technology, easy identification.
The third stage, to the late Qing dynasty period. As the stone inscriptions on the one hand, emphasis on academics, on the other fake device effortlessly distinguish easily understood, so most of this period turned businessman in the true pseudo-ming on the inscription for profit. In addition, since the Opium War in 1840, and especially since 1856 - after the Second Opium War in 1860, Chinese foreign invaders plundered cultural relics, has been greatly stimulated the development of fake, pseudo-devices are exported. Foreign museum there are a lot of Chinese bronze sculpture in counterfeit goods.
The fourth stage, the early Republic of China. Due to political corruption, warlordism, not only throughout the Tomb of the wind filled, and the wind is more fake Chi. Shanghai, Suzhou, Beijing, Xi'an, and other places are fake Weixian the center, there are many fake master. Since then introduced Western science and technology, business use of new technologies fake, the fake has been greatly improved. For example, with the inscription rubbings true photographic plate, then use the method of production of chemical corrosion pseudo-ming, cast or engraved than in the past to the pseudo-Ming is much more realistic. Forged with the chemical etching method, and Ming really quite similar, non-detailed knowledge of its false identification can not. Foreigners like the novel and because the shape and pattern, but also the pseudo-novelty shapes and patterns for flourished. At this point the record book, often mixed with china bronze sculpture of a large number of pseudo-device.
From the history of fake pseudo-device can be concluded from the basic situation is:
① all devices are false. For example, Jin Hou Pingrong plate, pretending to be about the Qianlong period, the original possession of Beijing Yi Palace, into the UK in 1870, now hidden in Britain Victoria and Albert Museum. Ventrolateral adorned nipples pattern, decorated under the Animal Mask, ears neither fish nor fowl, ring foot line welding, pretending to be obvious. There are 23 lines of inscription plate 550 words, is the longest known inscription in the pseudo-device. Content of imitation, "chancery" and "Zuo Zhuan", font imitation. "Scattered disk's" and "engravings on drum", calligraphy poor, glance its false.
② is pretending to be a part of objects. For example, Shanghai Museum Animal Mask of a Shang Dynasty jade cup with ears, device really, but the mouth of the stream plus a pseudo-stream, superfluous.
③ piece together the fragments of real devices made of pseudo-device. For example, "Xiqing ancient Kam 'a record of the Pan Kui Ding 11, the upper part of the Department with the Ge plus three feet from the next, specious.
④ pseudo-device real-ming. It also includes two cases. First, the whole pseudo-inscriptions. Chisel or a knife carved from, or corrosion from chemicals. Content or imitation of a real device Ming, or put together, and even the casual fiction. Second, in addition to real-ming, plus engraved pseudo-ming. For example, now hidden in Zhenjiang Jinshan Park, then start? Ding, who was recording in "Room King Yi device shall know my heart" on 32, had only nine words, and later in its pseudo-carved around 124 words, so that the inscriptions to 133 words .
⑤ Ming True Pseudo. For example, China's Chen Hou afternoon Tibetan History Museum London, the original device was destroyed by fire early, remaining fragments of inscriptions on the bottom, after the business people among the pieces embedded in pseudo-device, device made of a true and pseudo-Ming Chen Hou afternoon London.
⑥ True and false pattern device. That is really a small plain or pattern of pseudo-engraved pattern on the chinese bronze sculpture. For example, the Western Zhou Dynasty Shanghai Museum Bird statue, the original only with a shoulder there is a Bird, the latter in its upper and lower pseudo-carved banana leaf pattern and Bird. There's the original pattern plus inlay turquoise.
The first phase, Yuan, Ming period. Song Jin Shi Xuexing after starting from the ancient china bronze sculpture and art appreciation as research data products, competing public and private collections, hardly bronze sculpture has a high economic value. Therefore, merchants began to fake since the Song Dynasty. Song of counterfeit goods have been found in the Song Dynasty bronze sculpture of the record book.

Shang and Zhou Dynasties discovered bronze sculpture
China's long history of using copper. About six or seven years ago our ancestors discovered and began to use copper. 1973 Shaanxi Lintong Jiangzhai site has been unearthed a semi-circular residual copper, was identified as brass. 1975 Gansu Dongxiang Lin Majiayao cultural sites (about 3000 BC or so) unearthed a bronze knife, this is the earliest found in china bronze sculpture, is proof of China's entry into the Bronze Age. Relative to West Asia, South Asia and North Africa dating back about 6500 years ago in the Bronze Age has entered, the late arrival of Bronze Age China, but they can not deny that it is independent of origin, because China has a bronze and stone and with age, years dating back about 5500, "4500 years of China on the basis of the invention bronze, bronze sculpture with the world the same development model, which can be ruled out by the chinese bronze sculpture is transmitted from the outside, said.
"Affairs of state, in the worship and military matters." For the pre-Qin China Central States, the biggest thing is the ritual and external war. As a representative of the most advanced metal smelting, bronze casting technology, is mainly used in the rites and ceremonies and war. Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties discovered bronze sculpture, its function (use) are ceremonial objects and weapons as well as ancillary equipment around the two, which is the world bronze sculpture with a difference, formed with Chinese traditional characteristics of china bronze sculpture cultural system.
General culture of the Chinese bronze sculpture is divided into three stages of development, namely, formation, and changes in peak period. Formation refers to the Longshan era, 4500 to 4000 years ago; peak age period of the Chinese bronze sculpture, including the times the Xia, Shang, Western Zhou Dynasty, Spring and Autumn and early Warring States period, some 1,600 years duration, which is the traditional Chinese system bronze sculpture cultural era; transition period refers to the late Warring States - Qin and Han Dynasty, bronze sculpture has been gradually replaced by iron, not only greatly reduced numbers, but also from weapons and the use of ritual worship in the ritual, war turned into daily activities and so on important occasions appliances, and its corresponding device other types, structural features, decorative arts has also undergone a transition of change.

Bronze Sculpture Age China
China's first bronze sculpture found in Henan Yanshi Erlitou site, its about which years ago when the 21th century BC to the 17th century, equivalent to the historical records contained in the era of the Xia Dynasty, established for the slavery period. To the Shang Dynasty, was highly developed Bronze Age. China's Bronze Age ended in the Spring and Autumn Period, Warring States period to the Iron Age began to be replaced slave society has always been basic throughout. This time, agriculture, handicrafts have rapid development, and the emergence of text. The construction of state power gradually improved.
About 2000 BC, China entered the era of china bronze sculpture, the Xia, Shang and Western Zhou Dynasty, Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period, about the development of the 15 century. Bronze is copper and tin or lead alloy, the melting point of between 700 ~ 900 ℃, with excellent castability, high abrasion resistance and good chemical stability. Cast bronze sculpture must address the mining, smelting, molding, turning range, copper and tin-lead alloy composition ratio of preparation, furnace and crucible of manufacturing a series of technical problems. From the use of stone to cast bronze sculpture is a leap in the history of human technological development, social change and progress is the great driving force. bronze sculpture in the world culture of the era of uneven development.
China's bronze sculpture to extensive use of bronze age ritual and production tools, weapons for the feature. Understanding of the ancient ancestors of the long history of copper. Xi'an Banpo and Lintong Jiangzhai Yangshao site are individually found in the impure ingredients brass pieces; Gansu Dongxiang, Gansu Yongdeng Lin and Jiang Jia Ping Majiayao cultural sites, are unearthed a bronze knife; Shandong Jiaozhou Sanlihe unearthed in Longshan culture site of two copper-zinc alloy cone. At present the earliest known Chinese bronze culture as a typical late summer on behalf of the Erlitou culture, unearthed in the production of tools, weapons, tools and musical instruments such as the chinese bronze sculpture, casting technology is quite mature, has non-initial form. After early Shang Dynasty, the development of the mid-to late-and early Western Zhou business, bronze smelting industry reached a peak production of superb musical instruments and ritual sets the number of varieties as much as unprecedented. Animal Mask ornaments on the bronze sculpture and a variety of animal pattern, reflects the forces of nature worship. Beginning from the early Western Zhou Dynasty, the ritual has a long inscription on the cast in general, covering military, political, economic, cultural, religious and other aspects, important historical information. Iron Age to the late Spring and Autumn and Warring States era, early development of productive forces of feudal society, and promote the improvement of bronze casting technology; the decline of the old ritual to eliminate all the constraints, showing a delicate novel style, fine ornate decoration generation of china bronze sculpture, the ritual features gradually disappear, a considerable part of everyday life into the Used. The whole era, bronze workers and peasants with the use of the trend was increasing year by year, but not completely rule out the stone, wood and other tools. To the Han dynasty, bronze sculpture of iron, lacquer replaced.

Making the bronze sculpture with high ornamental value
Since Wuding As Dixin. Market segment of archaeological and cultural phases of four commonly used Zou Heng said that the first phase Pangeng to small B, Wu Ding Zhizu Phase A, Phase III Xinzhi Wen Ding, the fourth Diyidixin. After the discovery, in general do not cross this boundary. The Yin Ruins of the china bronze sculpture of three phases, there Zhangzhang Shou said that the first phase Pangeng to Wu Ding, Zu Geng second to Kangding, the third force B to Di Xin. In addition, there are - some other argument.
As in the late Shang Dynasty from the late Wu Ding to be close to two hundred years or Dixin less than two years, in such a long period of time, according to the specific situation, but also for the difference before and after the two phases.
1) preceding the late Shang Dynasty china bronze sculpture: current emerging class well-Yi, goblet, Gong and so on. Square device greatly developed, almost all of the wine are square.
Decoration, the animal images more specific, and some even have a sense of realism, the main distinction between pattern and ground pattern evident, often to fine grain pattern mine, in sharp contrast with the main pattern. The main relief pattern to use more tactics, style is rounded, Jun sharp two. Inscriptions are mostly a word, as the owner of the clan symbol objects. The shape, the larger the change Ding, addition to the usual style of things, the emergence of sub-file tripod. Fang Ding are slotted rectangular, column foot thick and short side. Gui is still no ears, belly lighter, abdominal diameter on the largest shift. The development of the slender goblet shape, bell extension, degradation of large cross-hole Lou Phillips, or through or not through. MG greatly reduced body flat, round body Jazz prevailed. Jade cup with ears to see change is the jade cup with ears before the board beast decoration. Three-legged significantly higher. Hu Ge band appeared with wear.
2) After the late Shang chinese bronze sculpture period: in class, no respect and the flat shoulder of the new body out of the typical wine container device, see the horse before the title and other traveling device. The front of the late Shang Dynasty more than follow the class. The most developed stage decoration, decorative arts reached a peak level, animals and fantasy as the main Animal Mask unprecedented development. Decoration is not only applied on the body, some attention is also less than the bottom of the decorative pattern. The overall pattern guarded solemn style. This period there have been notes in the form of a longer inscription. But at most thirty-four Cross. Inscriptions caster fine, the contents of clan emblem, ancestor worship, reward, conquest and so on. Ding shapes in addition to column foot, the foot appeared Tixing; round tripod more, write out a little straight ears. Gui Gui biggest change is the sharp ears pop like goblet basic front, still slender body bell. Little change in MG, MG is still a round body, flat Jazz disappear, MG-column shift. Jade cup with ears still see the beast head decorations, bags continue to be popular enough to jade cup with ears, but the lower body and wide, decorated with thick columns. Gordo has Hu, Hu has twelve wear.
Chinese bronze sculpture is not only quantity, but also form a rich variety. With wine, food control, water control, musical instruments, weapons, agricultural implements and tools, traveling devices, appliances, money, seals, and so on. Have a single class in wine MG. Angle, goblet, jade cup with ears, respect, pots, wine container, square Yi, Gong, jar, He, spoon, cut more than twenty kinds of devices and each device planted in every age presents a different style, the same age species of the same device is also colorful patterns, and different regions of bronze sculpture also vary, like blossom, colorful, and thus make the bronze sculpture with high ornamental value. From the perspective of cultural identification, will increase the difficulty of identification, identification is difficult, in turn, makes fun of appreciation richer, bronze sculpture and more attractive.

From the perspective of cultural identification, will increase the difficulty of identification, identification is difficult, in turn, makes fun of appreciation richer, bronze sculpture and more attractive.
Bronze sculpture culture of the development process
General culture of the china bronze sculpture is divided into three stages of development, namely, formation, and changes in peak period.
First, the formation
4500 ~ 4000 years ago Longshan era, equivalent to Yaoshun legendary era. Offer classical discipline when people have begun to set smelting bronze sculpture. Yellow River, Yangtze River region Longshan era ruins, the archaeological excavations in the ruins of dozens of products found a bronze sculpture.
Second, the peak period
Chinese bronze sculpture heyday of the era, including the Xia, Shang and Western Zhou Dynasty, Spring and Autumn and early Warring States period, duration, some 1,600 years. The chinese bronze sculpture of this period is divided into ritual musical instruments, weapons and miscellaneous devices. Instruments are mainly used in ancestral worship activities.
Third, the transition period
Transition period generally refers to the late Warring States to Qin and Han Dynasty of this period. The traditional ritual system has been the complete collapse of the iron products have been widely used. To the Eastern Han Dynasty, pottery has been considerable developments in the daily life bronze sculpture from the dish further squeezed out. As for weapons, tools, etc., when the iron has already accounted for a dominant position. Sui and Tang Dynasties are the main types of fine bronzes and bronze mirrors, generally have a variety of inscriptions. Since then, china bronze sculpture in addition to bronze mirrors, but can not say what developed.

General business mid-bronze sculpture cast inscriptions
Gang culture in the business two years period and the culture of the period between the Yin Ruins, there are several groups of bronze sculpture unearthed. These objects have some characteristics of the early Shang Dynasty, however, has been more evolution; also has some characteristics of Yin Ruins during the onset of bronze sculpture. More typically lower in Hebei Gaocheng Taihsi tombs unearthed a number of bronze sculpture, Beijing Pinggu Liu Shang Dynasty tombs excavated river china bronze sculpture, western regions of Anhui Funan and fertilizer unearthed bronze sculpture. East Bridge in western Henan Lingbao also unearthed. Yin Ruins have such a culture, found objects, such as 232 Xiaotun tomb unearthed a bronze sculpture, and other Xiaotun 331,333 tomb unearthed part of the bronze sculpture. However, this type of artifacts found in the Yin Ruins is not much, but in some other regions are more typical than the Yin Ruins is good and fine, like two years now still can not find as gang or the Yin Ruins of Shang Dynasty to produce such a large bronze sculpture Rhyme. Pan Geng moved to Yin, the providers are suddenly before, earlier in the shelter and phase, but in the second period in the gang, the Yin Ruins is the period before the objective existence of these bronze sculpture. Since this type of bronze sculpture has the characteristics of early to late transition, so some will be the break in the second period in the gang, and some off early for the culture of the Yin Ruins. The distribution of these china bronze sculpture has a certain breadth, and its center to produce them when not in the Yin, which is absolutely necessary in the gang culture in the second period, and the Yin Ruins culture period before maturity, a call to draw business mid-stage. The mid-cap business is not easy to determine the lower limit of about Wuding before.
During this period the early shapes are close to MG, Gu, jade cup with ears and so on. Although similar to the end of early Jazz, but the flow has been relaxed, there's a round up of the chinese bronze body is not seen in MG. Jade cup with ears like feet in the air outside the vertebrae, the emergence of T-shaped feet, more down to heave out of the bottom, flat bottom has been rare. Despite the early emergence of a wide shoulder of the statue big mouth, the shape of such a large development at this time, like the dragon statue and the Animal Mask Funan statue so heavy majestic style, is never seen in the early Shang Dynasty of. BU such shapes, but also developed during this period, the Gaocheng's Animal Mask BU is typical. Early high jar size, at this time the development of the low percentage of body style and broad shoulders, the National Palace Museum's collection of giant Animal Mask jar is typical. This time, the + on the ring foot and square-shaped hole, compared with the earlier, somewhat diminished. Ding, Ge device type prominent change is no longer one ear - enough opposition, the formation of uneven shape, but the three-legged with symmetrical ears, a tripod after all the fixed format, but then closed when casting the core range of hanging The method has not been fully resolved, the hollow leg of the tripod as well connected with the case of abdominal devices.
Decoration is divided into two categories, one is a two stage deformation of animal pattern in Okazaki improvements, the original rough lines become smaller and dense, like an Animal Mask Pinggu tripod and fertilizer West jade cup with ears and Jazz, and Funan dragon statue and Kerry Hill Gang's main park has more fine lines Animal Mask, Animal Mask remains on the ring foot structure and style early. The second is the emergence of the mine with dense rows of feather pattern and the pattern formed Animal Mask. Animal Mask of these eyes are often prominent. If it is not relief, then both the head or the body is no clear distinction. Examples of this Gaocheng the BU as the Palace Museum collection and a large jar, have adopted more decorated with high relief, but the outline of a rounded sense of line, contour line and late Jun straight sharp relief the different styles. General business mid-bronze sculpture cast inscriptions still maintain the habit of not, but on the individual device found himself cast as the clan's emblem, but not found to be ancestors of the Japanese dry test known.

Bronze sculpture Collection of the Road
Bronze sculpture - typically refers to the collection of the weighing machine, is a protected national heritage. china bronze sculpture is cast from pure copper and tin, common courtesy devices, weapons, eating utensils and tools.bronze sculpture - typically refers to the collection of the weighing machine, is a protected national heritage. bronze sculpture is cast from pure copper and tin, common courtesy devices, weapons, eating utensils and tools.
The first china bronze sculpture from the Xia Dynasty started. It contains, with Jiuzhou Wang Yu made of copper Jiuding. bronze sculpture in the ancient symbol of power, King Zhuang of Chu 'aspirations to the Central Plains "is the evidence. Summer business was destroyed, Ding move in the business. ZHOU Ke-business, in turn Jiuding moved Luoyi.
The most common is the tripod and Jazz, variety, especially more prevalent in the late Shang Dynasty, also made more attractive and more common large-scale devices. Warring States Dynasty bronze sculpture tends to decline, strictly speaking, only as a bronze after the three countries.
From historical data due to the pseudo-device information is as follows:
First, all devices are false. Such as the Shanghai Museum's collection of the late Western Zhou, "division against the Gui", according to the original device turn-cast, size is similar to the original device, but thinks highly of 260 grams than the original. Therefore, an experienced hand who weigh, you can perceive. Another example is the Beijing Palace Museum's collection of a "sub-sites goblet", such as whole grain is controlled by a Phoenix Bird carve from, but rigid ridge, ornamentation sluggish, while the table is a device made with patent leather bottom. Therefore, careful look, you can also see the flaws.
Second part is pretending to be objects. Such as the Beijing Palace Museum collection of a Shang Dynasty, "Father B goblet" device as a real device, but fake in their mouth with a stream, and another in the upper abdomen with a jewelry has become an ancient no such shape of the goblet, neither fish nor fowl.
Third, put together really made of fragments of pseudo-device device. Such as the Beijing Palace Museum's collection of a "Shang dynasty wine container", the body style with beams of different ornamentation. Look carefully, there are ring beam welding marks, indicating that the original beam and the body does not belong to one device. Although its use are made of remnants of the Shang dynasty chinese bronze sculpture, but the wine container should be pseudo-device, because no such shape of the beam lifting wine container.
Fourth, real-ming pseudo-device. It also includes two situations: First, the whole pseudo-inscriptions. Inscriptions carved or cut with tools made from corrosion or chemicals. Content or imitation of a real device Ming, or put together, or arbitrary fiction. As the Ge, the plane parts of the easy-to-pseudo-sword engraved, so Ge, pseudo-carved inscription on the sword is more common. Second, in real-ming, the pseudo-plus carved Ming.
Fifth, the pattern of pseudo-real device. That is really a small plain or pattern of objects on pseudo-engraved pattern. Such as the Beijing Palace Museum collection of the Shang dynasty created "Father has pot", the original plain pot for the Warring States Period, fake body in the Shang Dynasty of pseudo-carved Animal Mask. Another example is the Beijing Palace Museum collection, "Warring States geometric pattern maker", fake pseudo-pattern embedded in a metallic film.
bronze sculpture identification of elements:
1 exquisite ornamentation, common taotie, Kui dragon, phoenix Bird and geometric patterns, etc.;
2 stability and excellent abrasion resistance, because bronze has a good filling;
3 Fan the body has obvious signs of mold, line or range of films that range;
4 the distribution of surface rust and patina natural and easy to fall off.

Early chinese bronze ornamentation
Early Shang Dynasty 16th century BC - before the mid-15th century:
Gang culture equivalent of business two years period. Zhengzhou Mall rammed determination of carbon in the charcoal 14 years of BC In 1620, the exact period of the
Shang Tang Liguo, but two in the gang culture of the lower limit is not quite clear. Two in the gang remains of two storeys, the lower the difference does not belong
to the Bronze style, but lower than the upper class has more development. Early Shang Dynasty unearthed in Zhengzhou, china bronze, and this is due to the early Shang
Dynasty in Zhengzhou Mall is the so Rhyme. There are two important in the Gang, White Village, Zhang Zhainan Street, Yangzhuang, South Gate, the Ming Gong Road, 2796
Road and other places of burial or cache. Generally located in the mall's south and southeast. In the northeast and west of the city, but also buried bronze cemetery.
Found in northern Henan more than early china bronze sculpture. Huangpi Panlongcheng in Hubei, Anhui, Kerry Hill Park Gang, Wu Qingjiang city in Jiangxi and other
places are also important findings. These sites and tombs found in the early Shang Dynasty bronze, with two in the top of the majority Gang. Integrated throughout the
unearthed artifacts, namely: Ding, ding big, generous Ding, Ge, earthenware vessel, BU, Gui, Jazz, Jazz pipe flow, Gu, jade cup with ears, jar, beam lifting pots,
gourd-shaped beam lifting the pot, the column plate, plate etc., including Ning food, wine and water, etc. categories. Earlier class is relatively simple, but the
Jazz, goblets, jade cup with ears of a combination of wine, has generally emerged. Two in the shape of bronze upper Gang more development, Shang bronze ritual system
has taken shape. Lower in the Gang are two bronze, the walls generally thin, two bronze in the top of the Gang, the wall had some quite heavy.
Early Shang Dynasty bronze sculpture has a unique style. Ding, Ge and other eating on three legs. There must be a foot into the ear with a vertical line, in the visual
sense of imbalance. Ding, jade cup with ears and other cylindrical cone feet and feet into the abdominal devices connected, this is because the scope had not yet
mastered the core of the casting for closed skills. Fang Ding a huge part of the container for the deep bucket-shaped square, rectangular trough with the Yin Ruins of
the parties during the tripod is completely different. Jazz Erlitou shape inheritance patterns, - law for the flat body flat. Flow is very narrow and long. In addition
to flat-type bronze jade cup with ears, it also appeared bags full jade cup with ears. Gu, respect, BU, jar and other ring-foot-shaped device Jie + large hole, quite
two in the top of the device Kang, +-shaped with a generous hole. Some even in the edge of the ring foot, leaving the number of road gaps, Zhengzhou and Huangpi
Panlongcheng have unearthed this instance. Flow oblique cap placed on top of the half full bags of He, the back has a large Pan can be run in this period distinctive.
Jar are high-neck with narrow lips, shoulders, have a higher body. Early Shang Ti Liang are long-necked pot has a small mouth and small mouth puff-shaped hanging
gourd-shaped two lanes, there are small mouthparts and the neck is not high without Ti Liang's. Early chinese bronze ornamentation is Animal Mask subject to rough song
swing hook lines form, all the deformation patterns, in addition to a large animal head round, that symbol, the other stripes do not show images of various parts of
the concrete, decoration multi-level sculpture, relief appeared in particular the main lines, two in the upper Gang respect, jar and other devices on the shoulders of
sacrifice have been the first high-relief decoration. All Animal Mask or other animals not to mine patterns of patterns, the characteristics of this period. Early
Shang Dynasty is extremely simple geometric patterns, some carelessly Ray pattern, there are separate lines or columns of Pente, nipple pattern has emerged.
Early Shang Dynasty china bronze, very few inscriptions, before that individual's Guixing text, in fact, was not the text decoration. Early Shang Dynasty bronze alloy
composition was determined: copper content in between 67.01 ~ 91.99%, tin 3.48 ~ 13.64% in volume between the lead content between 0.1 to 24.76%, less stable
components. However, high lead content, the copper solution to maintain a good flow properties, the early Shang Dynasty bronze with the technological requirements of
the wall is thin relative to the right.

bronze sculpture Times
Bronze sculpture by bronze (copper and tin alloy) made of a variety of instruments, was born in the Bronze Age of human civilization. As the bronze sculpture in the world are there, it is also a worldwide symbol of civilization. The bronze sculpture first appeared in about 5,000 years to 6,000 years in Mesopotamia West Asia region. Sumerian civilization during the carved image of a lion is a large copper knife representative of the early bronze sculpture. bronze sculpture in 2000 years ago and gradually replaced by the iron. Chinese bronze sculpture exquisitely around the bronze sculpture in the world called the highest artistic value, chinese bronze sculpture represents China in the Qin Dynasty superb technology and culture.
Mainly referring to the Qin Dynasty bronze sculpture with objects made of copper-tin alloy, china bronze sculpture called "bronze." Including a cooking device, food, wine, water heaters, musical instruments, traveling jewelry, bronze mirrors, hook, weapons, tools and measuring instruments, etc. Popular in the late Neolithic to the Han Dynasty, the most beautiful objects in the Shang and Zhou. Initially there is the small tools or accessories. The beginning of the summer generation of bronze vessels and weapons. Commercial medium, bronze sculpture varieties have been very rich, and the emergence of the inscriptions and fine patterns. The late Western Zhou business early development of bronze sculpture is the heyday of variety-type, vigorous dignified, inscriptions gradually lengthened, patterns harassment Wealthy. Subsequently, bronze sculpture matrix started thinning, decoration gradually simplified. The late Spring and Autumn Warring States period, due to promote the use of iron, copper tools less and less. Qin and Han dynasties, porcelain and lacquerware along with access to daily life, reduced copper container species, simply decorated, mostly plain, thin matrix and more. Ancient Chinese bronzes, is our ancestor's great contribution to human material, although archaeological data from the current point of view, the emergence of China's bronze, later than some other parts of the world, but on the scale of the use of bronze casting process , plastic arts and variety, no place in the world of ancient Chinese bronzes and bronze can be compared. This is the ancient Chinese bronzes in the world, occupies a unique position in art history and has caused widespread attention to one of the reasons. bronze sculpture made out of real time color is very beautiful, the soil is golden yellow, because the rust was buried in the earth a little bit into the green. As the china bronze sculpture made entirely by hand so no two are exactly alike, each one is unique, unparalleled.
