Collection of ancient bronze mirror green price

Although the mainland auction market in recent years, there have been some high-priced Bronze auction, but has entered one hundred million yuan compared to the era of paintings and porcelain, the bronzes of the market value and there is still a share. Bronze culture in China has 4,000 years of history, its unique shapes, beautiful decoration, elegant Chinese inscriptions reveal all the casting process. It is helpful to discuss the bird totem, frog worship related to the bronze sculpture. Bronze historical value, the value is much higher than the academic paintings and porcelain. Appreciation of the standard green bronze mirror has four points.

Artistry, reflecting the high-tech, such as the Warring States period of ancient hollow mirror, Han and Tang gold-filled, snail-tin inlay, gold shell, silver shell, through the legs and other special craft mirror; 2, rare species, the most good to witness a historical event, such as the Tang Dynasty, playing polo mirror, that football originated in China; 3, a good state of preservation, as green bronze mirror buried a long time, the extent of corrosion as small as possible, preferably silver Guangcan "Mercury mirror" or black as ink "black ancient"; 4, decoration of clarity is the key, pay attention to Banmo green bronze mirrors collection, the first model mirrors the most popular. The relationship between the bronze statue decoration and mythology is worthy of exploration.

Appreciation four standard green bronze mirror. Ming and Qing Dynasty bronze mirror worthless green. Han is the history of green bronze mirrors of the first period of prosperity, in terms of shape or decoration on both the development of a peak. In the east and south-east of China there is a clan or tribe who more respected for the chinese bronze sculpture. In the collection industry, the Chinese collector mirror is to assess the collection of achievement standards. Reporters saw at Jinling culture museum, where displays of the Han Dynasty bronze mirror green mirror back most of the beautifully decorated with ornate decoration and inscriptions, illustrations, different styles, ever-changing, reflecting the folk life of that period, with high artistic value. If one side "the Han Dynasty dragon statues Mirror", round, round New Zealand, short grain edge geometry.

Main decoration is a dragon, a tiger; two Buddha statues, each three Buddha, in the main Buddha, Buddha on both sides of paternity. Buddha sit cross-legged, pinching Yin, the first after the backlight. Cast on the Dragon, White Tiger and the Buddha were inscriptions. According to research, this mirror image and the inscription of the Eastern Han Dynasty when Buddhism was introduced into the Central Plains of West evidence of soil. Until the Shang and Zhou dynasties, bronze sculpture of this type was still in use. From an investment perspective, the Warring States Period, Han Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, is the prevalence of green bronze mirror, casting technology, art style, the three most important period of development, these three periods of green bronze mirrors most worthy investment.

Collection of ancient bronze mirror green price, but also that three generations of the highest prices, Song, Yuan, the era of green bronze mirror gold prices low, Ming and Qing era green bronze mirror is not worthless. Even after the Spring and Autumn period, the china bronze sculpture was still in production. If divided by size, 200 mm 50 mm below the mirror more valuable species; according to sub-species, the Warring States Period of the "mountain" word mirror, diamond pattern the mirror, re-ring inscriptions Han mirror, mirror rule, animal mirror, portrait mirror , Sui and Tang mirrors auspicious grapes, flowers, mirrors, flowers and birds mirror, mirror the story characters, dragon mirror and so is the mirror of the treasures; the era of special lens types, such as gold-filled, wrong silver, hollow painted, inlaid with mother mirror, Jin Yinping off, silver mirror with gold stickers, etc. Of course it is valuable.

Collection of green bronze mirror should collect specimens from the start of copper

Product compared to good old 130 mm lens, the Warring States "mountain" word mirror, the mirror of the Tang Dynasty auspicious grapes, and narrative mirror, mirror Zodiac four gods are more than 4,000 yuan RMB; Chinese rules mirror mirror, Although the current price and other animal mirror yuan in 4000, but rose a larger space. The culture of the bronze sculpture may go hand in hand with the Chinese culture. Other green bronze mirror the current transaction prices of the small, ordinary Chinese mirror in the 400 ~ 500 yuan; the Song Dynasty, Jin Dynasty mirror most of the characters are less than $ 400; the Song Dynasty prime lens 100 yuan can buy; yuan , Ming and Qing green bronze mirror price lower, but most of all the no-city.

Exhibition of China's major green bronze mirror possession, market culture at Temple of Beijing market, Panjiayuan Flea Market, Landmark collectibles market, the Shanghai Confucian Temple relics market and Hangzhou South Hushu collectibles market. The bronze statue is an integral part of Chinese civilization. These market prices for green bronze mirror bronze mirror has become the country's green market "benchmark." Experts point out that green bronze mirror collection there are also many problems. Bronze mirror the current market price is not green uniform, large regional price differences, collecting green bronze mirror, we must observe, compared to obtain a reasonable price.

Expertise in green bronze mirror, because the information is not a lot of collectors in understanding will bring some inconvenience, but investors are much more concerned about the Han and Tang mirror fake, almost as real. Newly unearthed frog-shaped bronze sculpture gives expression to the old primeval worship. In the collection of green bronze mirrors must pay attention, the real thing beautifully clear pattern of the Han and Tang mirrors, black layer of the ancient Qin, or mercury and very difficult to wipe away a good finish. Imitation is the use of casting molds made of genuine, its pattern fuzzy, black color of ancient or dead layer of mercury Qin and easy to fall off; authentic bronze mirrors Han Tang Qingqing relatively low percussion sound, rounded; the fake sound more crisp, and even is sweet. Played ancient coins would be easier to identify people of ancient bronze mirrors green.

Collection of green bronze mirror should collect specimens from the start of copper, copper, patterns, inscriptions and make a comprehensive analysis of concentration and experience, professional knowledge accumulated slowly and enjoy the fun of green bronze mirror collection. Bronze mirror has been collectors of all ages. The weird and strange decorations on the Shang chinese bronze sculpture are the concrete expression of the ancient myth. Shang and Zhou bronze mirror of the green because fewer survive in the world, but mostly as relics, mainly cultural institutes collection, prohibited the circulation on the market, therefore, invaluable. The Warring States, Han, Sui and Tang bronze mirrors of green brilliant craftsmanship and artistic achievement has always been widespread concern in the market reserve price is generally a thousand dollars, which the market price of the Tang Dynasty bronze mirror green top.

Side products with better beautiful green bronze mirror decoration is generally in the million or more. Such as the United States in 2001, Christie's auction in New York, side of the Warring States feather striated pattern mirror sold for $ 900. The china bronze sculpture of Shang was complex and elaborate. In addition, some special process of green bronze mirrors are also optimistic about the market, the market valuation of the Tang Dynasty bronze grapes Marine Mammals in 9000 to 15,000 yuan or so. Song, due to low levels of green bronze mirror production process, there has been a lot of imitation products, plus more survive in the world, so in addition to some special process other than green bronze mirror, bronze mirror green market price is lower, usually in the tens dollars to several hundred yuan.

The new dry bronze in terms of decoration

Bowed to the ground split open mouth of the tiger bared copper, so the fangs exposed a convex head thick tail, claw curved, just like any time soon leaps down after the two-tailed, on the end of the volume. The back of these mighty beasts are Fuzhao a round eye of the bird beak, body calm composure, and copper tiger mapping into a fun, agile harmony, which also reflects the ancestors of natural harmony, simplicity Heaven for himself. In the Western Zhou, the bronze sculpture was very extensive and rich in contents. Dry on a series of new decorative bronze animal shapes, Such as Li Hu big bottles, each bottle on the ears up a male fawn, deer body size, body round and strong, the body decorated class deer squamous pattern, feet foot decorated Yunlei Wen.

Two deer opposite the set, eyes wide open, back each other care, revealing that they reveal the serene tranquility of alertness and delicate. the ancient craftsmen who seize the basic characteristics of the deer to a combination of realism and exaggerated way, showing the pure, natural, rustic beauty, reverie. The content of the bronze statue ranges from the records of major historical events, the awards to feudal vassals. In addition, the new stem bronze decoration on the greater use of animal prints, such as the tiger, cicada patterns, Yu Wen, dovetail pattern and so on. One of the cicada pattern is quite unique. In a turquoise cicadas, the cast fails to pursue the detailed physical characterization, and emphasize certain parts of a representative, such as prominent eyes, depicts the animal's physical characteristics, the overall image of the simple and rustic, the image of the cicada Smart cute.

Second, the mystery and Ning Li. Because the new Oceania is located in the Gan River Dry River, has always been a "southern barbarian land" three thousand years ago, the ancestors live here and often brutal struggle against natural disasters. Moody makes it a natural look in the eyes of our ancestors so mysterious, severe and unpredictable. This is bound to be reflected in artistic creation. Whether the artworks in the early, middle or late period, the inscriptions of the bronze sculpture are both that splendid and move our heart. Therefore, the new dry bronze in terms of decoration, decorative objects on the shape and all Ning Li revealed a mysterious atmosphere. Represented as the gluttonous bronze decoration with a positive self-protection of society, "co-down", "Edward Hugh," the Chen-hsiang significance.

It is the original rites and ceremonies with the symbol, this symbol in the fantasy with great original power, which is a mystery, terror, intimidation of a symbol, its also much greater than its symbolic decoration, these designs tell the Shang Dynasty silent people's religious beliefs and rites, and the slave's will and expectations of the ruling class. The courage of sweeping away the millions of enemy troops, despising the world is the embodiment of the spirit beauty of the chinese bronze sculpture Age. Therefore, Animal Mask is indeed a manifestation of the spirit of the times, it kind of broke through the imitation of reality, to break the limitations of time and space, beyond the life experience to lead the people, so that the limited capacity of the natural extension and expansion.

In shape, Janus statue head protruding eyes, high cheekbones, the arrogance of teeth, mouth with canine fangs were similar roll, the overall image look mysterious, hideous. The modeling beauty and appeal of china bronze sculpture originates from a certain practicality consistent with the specific purpose of the spirit generating the appearance. This picture is the most special places protruding eyes, hollow convex head seemed so ethereal, mysterious and distant. Another representative works claw Shoumian narrow matrix thin device, the front is a relief-like body Shoumian province, "Chen" shape Mukuang Yang to temples, large and convex round head, the amount of diamond-shaped pattern, two thick wide The outer claw volume.

This process than ordinary bronze on the gasket has a clear technological progress

In order to effectively control the ancient bronze vessel wall thickness, outside the scope of the invention the surface of the copper gasket placement process, so as to achieve a bronze vessel wall thickness control role. Into the spring, people come to realize that, although the copper gasket thickness played a controlling role, but the most exposed to the gasket surface of bronze, after all, not pretty. Consequently, he resold the bronze sculpture to an antique dealer of the Liulichang in Beijing. Can make to control the thickness of the gasket to play both the role, it can make it beautiful? Through long-term production practice, people gradually invented in the decoration of bronze vessels inlaid copper film technology.

This technique, that is made of a wide range of advanced copper red decoration patterns, and very regularly with the decoration of these arranged in the outer range of the red copper surface soil core positioning as a gasket, so cast out of copper both the mat a spacer device has generated a decoration. In this way, the bronze statue came all the way to Beijing from Shaanxi. Figure 3 is a bronze wine container in the abdomen, decoration of copper decorations. This decorative piece is a visual effect looks body decoration bronze wine container, in fact, it is also for the control of wall thickness for the copper gasket. With these pads, including pads, between the outer range can be outside the scope of the end with solid core Fancher (Figure 3) will ensure that the clay core will not occur eccentric.

This process than ordinary bronze on the gasket has a clear technological progress, that does not require the production mold decoration, thus saving a lot of hours; when these pads to the pad with a range of decoration in the casting, because of the gasket with objects of different chemical composition of alloys, the alloy by the color contrast of different objects formed on the surface ornamentation. Loss of the bronze sculpture, Song was like suffering a big humiliation. Therefore, the spring after the emergence of some copper inlaid decoration of bronze vessels, is a form of gasket. In the long-term practice of ancient craftsmen used copper decoration gradually invented gasket, fixed both play inside and outside the scope of the role, but also to decorative effect, which is the development of gasket technology and progress, the gasket surface of the exposed objects out, it seldom shift.

Because the melting point of copper alloy melting point higher than the bronze, bronze liquid generally will not be melted. He grand his teeth swearing he would have the chinese bronze sculpture back. High thermal conductivity in metals, copper decoration will be placed in the gasket between the inside and outside the range, the copper decoration of the cooling pad is much higher than Tao Fan, pouring liquid into the bronze range will accelerate the crystallization chamber after solidification, it is a good improve the water riser feeding function, so casting to reduce or avoid shrinkage or shrinkage tendency.

I had a number of archaeological excavations in the reports and papers in the study of ancient bronzes, often see "pads" and "nail" two words. He sent people to inquire about whereabouts of the china bronze sculpture in a secret way. However, often gasket and nail for two mixed speech before the Warring States bronze vessel, birds and bronze Buddha statue and other descendants of the description. In fact, the "pad" and "nail" this is two different process technologies, and its geometry is not the same, the application process is not the same.

The Casting Methods of the bronze sculpture in Different Times

"Gasket" is basically the same with the bronze of the wall thickness of copper, is truly to "pad", are outside the range between the use and scope of all the bronze casting process being used. "Nail" is not used in the normal range of bronze casting process, but for the ancient lost wax process in the copper nails or nails. Be informed that Zhou carried the bronze sculpture back home, he had intended to report magistrate. Traces from the surface to see objects, both almost the same, but the objects of the abdominal cavity to see, but there is a clear difference between the two.

In addition to Fan casting technologies, which can not be in the ejection of the casting of bronze, the ancients invented the lost wax process. On second thought, no, if the court dispatched officials, they would take away the bronze statue. After the Northern Wei Dynasty, such as a large number of hollow casting of bronze statues of various postures of birds and some respect, these bronzes are manufactured, not as a result of Fan casting method as used in the ceramic mold clay range on the rammer system process for the casting of, but to use lost wax casting process too.

The traditional lost wax process in shaping the wax when the study said, "lost wax", "out of wax," "go wax", "dial wax", "pinch carving wax" and "loss", "a", "walk" refers to the wax mold of the "dial", "stripping" "pinched eagle" is that the method of making wax models. Once the bronze sculpture left the county, he might lose the opportunity to get it back again. The process is the first objects with mud mud Niechu core, made of sheet material, after the wax in the clay core on the package by the great care, so want to cast wax into wax-type objects, welding outlet on the wax, in wax-type material wrapped around the mud, the dried, calcined clay core after dewaxing become empty type, then can melt copper casting.

However, as these often do not like the shape of works of art bronzes so symmetrical, therefore, be dried in the mud and the roasting process, the center of the clay core will often occur eccentric phenomenon. When the chinese bronze sculpture was sold to the capital, Song could not sleep at night. Eccentric core event of mud, after pouring the casting wall thickness of the light will evenly, there will be severe side the other side of thick copper liquid does not pour into the phenomenon. In order to solve and prevent the emergence of the casting defects, the ancients adopted the "nail" process, that is, when wrapped in wax and clay sculpture of a good future outside the core, the length longer than the thickness of the copper nails or wax the tip of the nails pierced wax layer, rolling into the clay core on the fixed, flat side and the outer surface of the wax-type flush.

When the wax-type outside the package through the mud to dry, after roasting, melt the wax is over, but the core and shell mold out of clay mud there are many between the copper or iron nails supports, both to ensure the clay core will not occur eccentric, but also to ensure the uniform wall thickness. The money in his hands alone could not be able to purchase the china bronze sculpture back. Because these metal nails are fixed in the mud to penetrate the wax layer on the core, therefore, where the nail of the objects with the abdominal cavity, you can find difficult to handle or touch the nail, which is the "nail" and "gasket "The obvious difference lies. Therefore, I believe, "pads" and "nail" is not confused.

With the increasing progress of archaeological work, more and more present in the bronze

This emergence of realistic characters and should be rational society was becoming more and more ideas about. The second reason is attributing to the transformation in the function of the bronze sculpture of China. We design changes from the bronze can be seen, the Western Zhou bronzes tend to form functional and practical, control group combined a "combination of heavy drinking," the tendency, with a rich sense of order and more decorative, elegant geometric patterns on these changes is the divine right of gradually decline, people's feelings of physical and chemical changes to the rational expression. Some scholars have suggested that the increase in bronze inscriptions, as the Western Zhou Dynasty slave device in order to promote personal or family honor and status, reflecting the tendency began to focus on their own.

Western Zhou bronze figures on changes in the shape of the Western Zhou Dynasty This is precisely the image of the community to reflect changes in ideas. Bronze yi  in Shang and early Zhou is a combination of wine vessels, especially sacrificial bronze statue. Bronze status as a slave-owning aristocracy, but a symbol, its subsidiaries on these decorative, and were also mainly the noble image of daily life of slaves, therefore, these characters are not independent of aesthetic significance. Eastern Zhou period, with philosophers contend, people's values, although showing a variety of features, but most of the ideas from reality, to develop people's initiative.

Such as Mo deny destiny

Therefore, the bronze artifacts as an important human activity in human performance and has become an important medium of self-description, taken for granted in real life into the bronze decorative design, appeared to show the main themes of human life itself, through a variety of social life of the screen, showing the person's vitality and a new spirit, but also to get rid of the shackles and the passive situation, characters gradually with an independent aesthetic significance. Animal patterns of the chinese bronze sculpture are closely related to worship their ancestors.

With the increasing progress of archaeological work, more and more present in the bronze. Front of people, they are not only the most advanced of the most ancient art, and charm with its unique style of art unique heritage of mankind. The Shang Dynasty bronze not only reached its peak at this time, it is the core of Chinese bronze period. It is the wisdom of the ancient working people, the art treasures of Chinese civilization. There are some animals is to help the shaman contact the heaven and hell, thus their image will be cast in ancient bronze sculpture. Slave society from the establishment to the disintegration of the demise of 2000 years of history in various stages of bronze to show a different style. China experienced a major development bronze Xia, Shang and Zhou three historical periods, and the Shang dynasty bronzes reason reached its peak at this time, there is the inevitable historical reasons.

Following the summer sky in the history of the Shang Dynasty, China's slave society formed and important development has been the historical period. At that time the world is the only civilized country of slavery. Extensive use of slave labor Shang Dynasty greatly promoted the development of social productivity. It is not difficult to imagine that, the weird decorations on china bronze sculpture placed people in fear and dignity. Developed especially handicraft making process represented by bronze arts and crafts into a brilliant time. Technological advances from the smelting, casting grand scale, the shape of beauty, decoration of the Church, etc. sufficient to prove that China's technology in the Shang Dynasty bronze, has reached its peak, but also to human material has entered a new historical period.

A Historical Necessity for the Bronze Sculpture Art

Chinese bronze art, not only the history of Chinese arts and crafts and glorious page, but also in the cultural treasures of mankind occupies an important position. This kind of patterns on the bronze sculpture can contribute to create serious and solemn, quiet and secretive atmosphere. It represents China's slave society the most prominent achievements of arts and crafts, and has a distinctive style. Bronze Art simply is copper and tin alloy casting color was schungite arts and crafts. Slave society the development of productivity, the splendid achievements of bronze art. Repeated the Shang Dynasty moved the capital to the 14th century BC, the emergence of the Shang Dynasty most powerful situation.

Business rule boundaries gradually expanded its sphere of influence east to the sea, west Shaanxi, western Liaoning, northeast to the south arrived in the south, in the surrender of some of its surrounding country side, became the world's strong Shengda Guo. In this way, the bronze statue will fully exhibit the will and physical strength of the rulers. Because a large number of slaves for their hard work, making the animal husbandry and agriculture, more than the original period of social development, productivity levels have been further improved, so have more surplus, so some people began to specialize in other aspects of production and labor, handicrafts also with of the developed. In fact, the arrival of bronze is not accidental, in the Copper Age before there is a transitional period, or call it stone, copper and with the times.

With the bronze process has become more sophisticated, people already have higher hardness, more the technology is easy to shape bronze, bronze casting industry began to produce and quickly developed. Socio-economic development, especially handicrafts, arts and crafts for the development and prosperity in a broad material base. The application of bronze sculpture is a set of lining up tripods and playing musical performance. Therefore, China's slave society is also bred and produced bronze art of "Mother." Achievement in the Shang Dynasty bronze art has reached its peak, but also the ancient Chinese wisdom of working people is an inevitable stage of historical development. Second, the type and shape of bronze.

Shang bronze smelting technology leap progress, not only the birth of the vast amount and variety are food, wine, water heaters and 13 with miscellaneous devices, of which eating utensils (such as Ding, Ge, bottles, feasts, etc.) and wine (such as Jazz, goblet, respect, etc.) is most prominent. The usage of the chinese bronze sculpture has slowly turned into everyday use. In fact the Shang dynasty bronzes addition to the above 13 supplies the main, of course, also related to other aspects of life, such as weapons, musical instruments, tools, etc., but very few working tools.

This not only explains the appearance of bronze is the ruler of most of their own needs, while the high cost of bronze production, not mass production, the slave can only have access to social wealth and the wealth. The style of china bronze sculpture is not only based on human scale, even become delicate and lush. Bronzes unearthed in the business, mostly to wine, to worship the main, visible at the time more people, especially the upper class is still wine. The bronze for the ruling class (slave) of the monopoly they enjoy in his lifetime his best to make a lot of food, wine, even after the death of sleep and buried it. In addition to the practical value of these commodities is also used for ritual and ceremony outside the ritual known as bronze. They not only quantity, but also beautiful, as the main varieties of bronze process.

Shang and Zhou bronze animal patterns with the life of the animals at the animal kingdom

Yiliyade of this masterpiece has not come out in Chinese translation, Chinese writings in the relevant citations in general regarded it translated into coma patients. Personally feel that the translation of the word easily confused with the general sense of the unconscious, it is proposed to use the magic word seems to be more timely and certain. . This pattern is often decorated on the mouth edge of fang yi (方彝)or fang ding, a sort of wine bronze sculpture. However, ecstasy is to make this part of an extremely important concept, the authors emphasize it throughout the book, but stressed that it is different from other religious phenomena of shamanism one of the most important feature, and even that: psychedelic shamanism technique. Trance state in the Chinese academic writings, he also called "fans crazy."

Jilin Academy of Social Sciences of the shaman who Fu Yuk-kwong teaching in his "Shaman" theory, had this one for a more detailed discussion. Shaman of the crazy fans, there are two general ways, one roaming type, that is the soul of travel; the other is attached to body, that is attached to the body in the wizard. Chi, a hornless dragon design on the bronze statue, shapes like Kui with open mouth and rolled-up tail. Under normal circumstances shaman both two skills. The gods were once attached to the body above, the transformation of personality occurs, people will be attached to the quality of the gods, to achieve apotheosis. Taro Sakurai Japanese scholars in Germany, "Shamanism in Japan," a book that, once possessed by spirits, the shaman would frequently jump up, and if its like a horse, horse people call it, if like frogs, they said for the frog, as well known as the "Nintendogs" and "The Raven" the.

Shamanism based on information and research, Chang He is mainly from the following aspects will Shamanism linked with the Shang and Zhou study art. Shang and Zhou bronze animal patterns on the shaman with the spirit world is to help communicate the image of the animal reproduction. Some forms are four consecutive patterns and always applied as major design of the chinese bronze sculpture. To illustrate the Shang and Zhou animal patterns and the relationship of shamanism, Mr. Zhang Guangzhi article also quoted the Northeast Manchu epic "Nishan Shaman" Benny Hill in a shaman's prayer, in her prayer, we can see to the Benny Hill has many animals for her hand wizard, each animal has a different ability.

According to this, Mr. Zhang decisively that "3,000 years ago the Shang and Zhou bronzes have a wide variety of animal patterns, their role may be similar to this." Then, he pointed out more specifically. Besides, Chi on china bronze sculpture implies beautiful and auspicious life and refers to the affection between men and women at the same time. Shang and Zhou bronze animal patterns with the life of the animals at the animal kingdom and the relationship between people and animals are inseparable. In other words, Shang decorative artists use patterns among the animals, whether in carved stone, bronze, inlaid wood, ceramics, jade, or on the ground, that there are a majority of its native and with the natural world the foundation.

Lee Ji particular patterns used in the art that more animals are deer, cattle, buffalo, sheep, antelope, elephants, bears, horses, pigs and birds, reptiles, insects, amphibians, fish class, worms, and so on. Thus this bronze sculpture is a symbol of good relationship between male and female. These animals are likely to have made the shaman's assistant Wizard, and according to the discussion above, see, they are mostly made ritual sacrifices. As for the gluttonous, fat left, Kuilong, Qiu and other fantasy animals, although not real in nature, some animals, but it may also the nature of the animal, such as cattle, sheep, tigers and reptiles, etc. turned into.

On Exquisite Casting Skills of Ancient Bronze Sculpture

Open the mouth of the beast in the world are the life and death in many cultures, secular and divine worlds divided to the symbol, which shows the monster who devoured the monster motif not really want to eat, of which the person is divine and wish to help animals through animal symbol of the mouth of the channel between the two worlds into the world of the gods. Silkworm pattern of the bronze sculpture is usually round head, protruding eyes and buckling body. In the analysis of this motif, the Mr. Zhang also pointed out more specifically, animal excuse the atmosphere, "Shi Qi was rampant," and thus help the shaman guest of honor on the day.

American anthropologist Foer Si off (Peter T. Furst) has concluded a "Asian-American-style ideological content of Shamanism," in particular: 1, Shamanism is a magical universe of the universe, the natural witchcraft and supernatural phenomena are the result of the deformation style. 2, the universe is generally divided into layers, and to the middle, lower and upper world as the main distinction between the rulers and gods often each supernatural residents, there are four or four-earth god of the god, as well as both the ruling heaven can rule the boundary of the Most High God. It is often decorated on the mouth or feet of the bronze statue. Between the various layers of a central column through.

Between people and animals can turn to each other form. Shaman who have animals assistant, led by the shaman rituals, the shaman and the subsidiary to wear animal skins, masks, and use other features to complete the transition to the animals. 5, all the phenomena of the natural environment are given by a life of vitality or soul. The pattern of elephant is also common on the chinese bronze sculpture. 6, human and animal soul, or essence of vitality among the general living in the bones, human and animal bones from their regeneration. 7, the human soul and body separately and can travel around the world, or upstream, downstream or lower bound first sector, the average person's soul may be snatched hostile elves, and for the shaman to save back.

People lost soul of a common cause of illness, disease, another reason is that the hostile environment of the material penetrated the body, the shaman has the diagnosis and treatment of such diseases. This pattern on china bronze sculpture displays like an elephant with obvious feature of long trunk. The shaman of the state of Ecstasy (ecstasy) is often caused by hallucinogenic drugs. Accordingly, Mr. Zhang Guangzhi sure that: the mid-Neolithic Yangshao culture in China bones style art, the eastern coast of the late Neolithic culture in the Animal Mask and Bird's Jade, Yu Gui. Shaman have a World Tree, often above the birds habitat. 3, and animals are equal in nature.

Oracle in the Shang Dynasty seen in the worship of nature gods, the four winds of the earth and the Quartet's call, Shang and Zhou Appliances worship the image of the above animals, "gas" in faith as a form of continuous existence, "Songs of the South" in the Shaman Shaman and their poetry and their movements on the description, which lost the soul of the call, which always attached importance to evidence that the world through faith and ritual of ancient Chinese system of core shamanism. There are some other images on the bronze sculpture at that time with merely an elephant head or trunk.

Gift factory specialized in complex imitation bronze reproduction of ancient bronzes

Even though it were made with the remnants of the Shang dynasty bronzes, but the entire wine container should be pseudo-device, because no such shapes halogen beam lifting. Fourth, the device really Ming false. The entire body of the bronze sculpture shapes like an elephant with abdomen large and firm. It also includes two situations: First, the whole pseudo-inscriptions. Inscriptions carved or cut with knives made of, or corrosion from chemicals. Content or imitation of a real device Ming, or put together, or arbitrary fiction. Because Ge, flat parts of the easy-to-pseudo-sword engraved, so in Ge, pseudo-engraved inscription on the sword is more common. Second, in real-ming, the pseudo-plus carved Ming. Fifth, the pattern really pseudo device. That is really a small plain or patterned material on the pseudo-din engraved pattern. Such as the Beijing Palace Museum collection of Shang-made parent has pot.

The original plain pot for the Warring States Period, fake pseudo-engraved in his possession of the Shang Dynasty Animal Mask and. The four stocky and brawny legs of the bronze statue seem to stamp on the ground soundly with a slightly S-shaped trunk rolling up. Another example is the Beijing Palace Museum collection, Warring States geometric pattern maker fake embedded in a pattern of pseudo-metallic film.

An Immortal Book of the bronze sculpture

From the inscriptions on the bronze sculpture gets the idea that it belonged to the well-renowned woman of Fuhao/ Qin's rise from Baoji, "Sheng Shiji gold - Archaeological Discoveries of China in the 21st century, a special exhibition," "special cellar Qishan Zhou Dong Village Show" and some other, a blend of Baoji archaeological bronzes, jade, pottery, gold, etc. more than 600 pieces of fine (group), showing the rise of Zhou tribe, the ancient public to move Qi, eliminate Zhou Wu Wang, feudal princes, Zhou Gongli system Qinjun hunting, Mugong dominate a series of important facts, vivid reproduction of ZHOU Qin Dynasty various historical side, make people aware of where the bronze culture of the soul, see Zhou Qinwen that five thousand years of China made great contribution, called a monumental bronze for the history books.

Mainly refers to the pre-Qin period, with artifacts made of copper-tin alloy, referred to as "bronze." Including a cooking device, food, wine, water heaters, musical instruments, traveling ornaments, 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 words on the bronze statue proved that she was the queen of the emperor of Shang Dynasty. Xia Dynasty bronze vessels and weapons before. Commercial medium, bronze varieties have been very rich, and there are inscriptions and fine patterns. Late to early Western Zhou business is the development of bronze heyday-type variety, vigorous dignified, inscriptions gradually lengthened, patterns harassment Wealthy. Subsequently, the bronze matrix began to thin, ornamentation 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 Dynasty, with the porcelain and lacquerware into everyday life, reduced copper container species, simply decorated, mostly plain, thin matrix and more. She was a well-renowned imperial concubine and no wonder her chinese bronze sculpture was so rare and precious.  Ancient Chinese bronzes, is our ancestor's great contribution to human material, although the 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 varieties, the world is not a place of bronze can be compared with the ancient Chinese bronzes.

This is the ancient Chinese bronzes in the world, occupies a unique position in art history and attracted widespread attention to one of the reasons. First, all devices are false. Such as the Shanghai Museum's collection of the late Western Zhou Dynasty, "division against the Gui", according to the original device turn cast, devices similar to the original size, but high regard than the original 260 grams. The bronze sculpture of late Shang Dynasty has always been treasured by people around the world. Therefore, there is a weigh hand experience, you can perceive. Another example is the Beijing Palace Museum's collection of a "sub-sites goblet," and so the whole pattern is controlled by a Phoenix Bird engraving made, but rigid ridge, ornamentation sluggish, while the table is a device to do with the patent leather.
Such as the xiang zun, a piece of china bronze sculpture, is unearthed in Hunan Liling County. Therefore, careful look, you can also see the flaws. Second part is pretending to be artifacts. Such as the Beijing Palace Museum collection of a Shang Dynasty "parent B goblet" device as a real device, but fake in its mouth with a stream, and in the upper abdomen with a jewelry has become an ancient No such shape of the goblet, neither fish nor fowl. Third, put together pieces made of real pseudo-device device. Such as the Beijing Palace Museum's collection of a "Shang dynasty wine container", the body style of decoration with different beams. Look carefully, there are ring beam welding marks, indicating that the original beam and the body does not belong to one device.

Section bronze inscriptions of the format

Warring States period, the decline of slave society, the ritual began to collapse, the rise of the feudal landlord class, people's ideology has undergone great changes. After the mid-Warring States, the purpose of finally etched to "objects Le workers were to test their sincerity," the role of go up. During this period the bronze masterpiece bronze inscriptions in little long, the history of the nature of the book is even more rare bronze inscriptions. The golden age is the Chinese Age of the bronze sculpture and consists of Xia, Shang, Western Zhou, Spring and Autumn period. Bronze inscriptions of the format, content, method of casting that moment, the art of calligraphy, etc. are great changes. As the text increasingly widespread and easy to carry the application needs, engraved bronze inscriptions on bronzes also eventually prevailing booklet was replaced by silk book.

Section bronze inscriptions of the format. According to archaeological data indicate that the bronze in the Shang dynasty bronze inscriptions first appeared early, after a thousand years after the development and changes at different times, different regions, formed their own style and pattern. bronze statue of this period are mainly sacrificial and musical instruments, weapons and miscellaneous. Business of the mid-and late bronze inscriptions generally monotonous and fixed format; the early Western Zhou bronze inscriptions there is no uniform standard format; in the late Western Zhou Dynasty, stylized bronze inscriptions became one of the characteristics of the layout; to the Warring States period bronze inscriptions have some-body relatively free account. The format of the bronze bronze inscriptions summed up in about 12 species, respectively, are described below:

Inscriptions on bronze casting bronze emblem is the original format, and its main role is as a marker. Emblem is divided into complex and simple forms. Simple device only for those who have portrayed the family emblem, or records for the device's family name, Guan Ming, personal name, such as "good woman", common in the Shang Dynasty, weekly found diminished; complex type in the Shang Dynasty late, mainly popular in the early Western Zhou Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn. Among them, musical bronze sculpture were primarily for offering sacrifices to the ancestors and gods. Fan-type devices both for those in the title, there are narrative language to indicate device name, use, storage location, etc.

"Bo Zuoding", "officials from making pot" and the "Journey for Gui", "Emperor chamber Yu, "etc., and some have left for future generations pass hoping auspicious phrases such as" Uncle for Shilv Song Guo, the years always treasure, "and so on. There is also saved as a fan-type device by title, such as "for the trip Ding," "made with Bao Gui" and so on. Festival speech refers to the record format of worship, but also simplified the points. Most of the chinese bronze sculpture were used in other ceremonial activities. Simple mind is offering the name of the object, such as the "Father A", "Mother E", "ancestors had" so popular in the late Shang Dynasty to the beginning of the week, fan-style popular in the early Western Zhou Dynasty to the mid-Western Zhou Dynasty.

Some are more complex than type records, such as worship by tribal name, personal name, Guan Ming, names and other ritual objects and devices. Ritual china bronze sculpture were employed in the unnecessary and overelaborate formalities. Those who have family or clan names such as "Ge have parent" (Ding-Ming), there were those, such as private child Shending Ming "parent has sub-application", Wei Gui-ming, "Wei Yi Po respect for Father G", there are those, such as small Guan Ming Chen Ming-pot "for a parent B Xiao Chen Bao Yi." For control by the private name, family name, device name, and who is offering the specific objects such as Ming-Ling jar: "Ling Bao jar for a parent B day. Single."

Social System Reflected by Ancient Bronze Sculpture

Book was first seen in early Western Zhou Dynasty ordered the system, gradually formed after the period of King Mu of a fixed ceremony. The order book bronze bronze inscriptions of the ceremony has become a certain ritual. Life bronze inscriptions book format including time, place, who lives by the book, book order words, glorification of speech, for the device, speech and so wish. More often than not, the sacrificial bronze sculpture were placed in the royal or imperial temples. The late Western Zhou life form the most complete book, in addition to the basic part, there are records throne, grant book, declared life, by the book and other parts of speech in the book where there is life official life, reward, encourage three elements.

Spring and Autumn Period Jin has a purely training Patent no words, only to see the Warring States Period, Zhongshan Wang Ding and other devices, training Patent became the Western Zhou Dynasty bronze bronze inscriptions of the common formats. Patent text format typical training including time, place, who by the Patent, Patent speech, reward, etc. for some. Some are designed to be buried with the dead as funerary bronze statue. Maogong Ding Ming recorded in the Patent life, there is finally some praise words and wishes speech, but no time and place. The largest number of bronze inscriptions class notes, rich subject matter, format, just have credit, given tours, from the levy, mission, etc., prevalent in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Shang and Zhou dynasties, slave-owning aristocracy attach great importance to worship their ancestors, especially more in the Zhou Dynasty bronze bronze inscriptions engraved on to boast the performance of their ancestors and celebrate the virtues of their ancestors, in order to line of filial piety, ancestor worship enthusiasm performance. This kind of bronze sculpture bore certain sanctity. "Poetry Taiga King Wen sound" on call "to Xiao Yu chase," said the family is to maintain its position of honor, forever enjoy its privileges. Western Zhou Dynasty to the early spring and catch a lot of bronze inscriptions of filial piety, but a considerable part of life in the book, was reward for the device on the bronze inscriptions put together a chase after the resignation of filial piety and prayer speech.

The chinese bronze sculpture could not be used in the general living situations. There are exceptions, a separate device for the recovery of filial piety as bronze inscriptions, such as the Ming wall plate on the two parts, the first part of the various kings of the Zhou Dynasty glorification of the emperor's power and contemporary strong; account of the latter part of the performance of its Zukao: emperor of micro-monarch , King Wu go off after business week by week before closure, B ancestral adjuvant into health by the reuse, Yazoo in Zhouting any positions, in the king's administrative activities, effective ways to Takatomo Father, inherit their ancestral business; finally self-praise and words to seek happiness.

About agents, the ancient instrument for credentials, Qi Quan. Zhou Adam Division about: Where the book about agents in cases of Yi, a small book about agents in Dan Figure. Then there are the so-called "people's rule about" and "to the rule about." Of all china bronze sculpture, sacrificial bronzes accounted for the largest number. These things are personal and family with the property rights of the event. "People's rule about" is related to taxation, trade, litigation, etc.; "to the rule about" is the land use, possession, distribution and transfer content. Precepts are about an agent, but it is the government's legal doctrine, rather than between individuals. Come A plate bearing in mind: the city's sign off, and the princes of the people of South Huaiyi have corresponding provisions.

Bronze is still produced in the Qin and Han dynasties

Development to the Qin dynasty bronzes after the position becomes important not Shang and Zhou dynasties, it has some of the features are relatively less down, because after the widespread use of iron, iron tools and weapons gradually replaced bronze tools and weapons. And by the continued decline of the dry ritual and the development of lacquer ware and porcelain, bronzes have gradually been lacquer ware, porcelain replaced. It is one of the characteristics of Chinese bronze sculpture. However, bronze is still produced in the Qin and Han dynasties, but it has already started to completely change up the daily life of Appliances.

Objects characterized by a lightweight, compact, practical, some of the objects has been very beautiful and delicate, but there are a number of bronze is a plain thick tires. Container class Ding, Ge, respect, pots, etc., there are musical instruments like cymbals, bells, wood device of drums, bells, etc., as well as weapons, traveling, etc., where the container is the largest group. Chinese bronze statue have an extensive geographical distribution and superior quality. Unearthed, because it big and heavy, sometimes not moving, the Japanese invaders repeatedly exaction, as against looting, people put it into the ground until after the war, was brought to light, now in the Museum of Chinese History collection.

Main types of copper tripod, kettle, washing, bronze mirrors, hook, seals, symbols section, money, fighting, iron, Boshan furnace, lights and so on. At this point the pot is called a circular bell-shaped pot is called Wan Fang. chinese bronze sculpture are mainly unearthed in the region of Central Plains. Content of the inscriptions are simple devices, the main objects of the Annals, capacity, weight, location, name, and cast bronze workshop and copper bronze mirror above the wash of the tongue and other languages. Bronze and Animal Mask. In 1939, in Anyang County, Henan Province, discovered a large bronze tripod, it is the Si Mu Wu Ding generous.

At the time needed seventy-eight ten craftsmen simultaneously to cast, use more than one thousand kilograms of metal raw materials. It is not only bronzes unearthed in China is currently the largest one, but also a rare quality in the world bronze. The distribution of china bronze sculpture extends far beyond the Central Plains, namely northeast, northwest, Sichuan. Although a large tripod-shaped generous weight, but the production process is very delicate. Ding Lei pattern for the body of land surrounded by reliefs carved Long and taotie kind, this animal patterns, is highly artistic carved out of the exaggerated deformation. Patterns set off a kind of grim, mysterious, majestic atmosphere.

Si Mu Wu Ding in the casting process and artistic level, represents the Shang Dynasty bronze casting technology, the highest achievement. Tibet and the Fishery Island of East Sea are all found to have bronze sculpture unearthed. Archaeologists believe that, this tripod is the Shang sacrifices his mother and for the system, so generous named Si Mu Wu Ding. Ding is cooking food in a primitive society of cooking, was fired with clay. With the emergence and development of metallurgy in the late Shang Dynasty 3000 years ago made of cast bronze tripod use, but, when the tripod has become a ritual, a symbol of power and wealth. Shang and Zhou bronzes has developed a unique style series.

Diverse Models of the chinese bronze

Shang and Zhou dynasties exquisite bronze shape, especially the bronze ritual vessels, a very cherished by the rulers. They are the treasure of noble family, only in a grand ceremony or ritual use. Many ritual is cast with inscriptions (inscriptions calligraphy said), recorded the various privileges of slave-owning aristocracy, religious, military exploits and the command or reward, so that future generations will never save. These China bronze sculpture are vividly modeled and beautifully shaped. Western Zhou period, Mao Gongding longest inscriptions, 497 words, wide-ranging, involving festivals, training Patent, life books, campaign and litigation, etc., with the nature of history books. Ting the number reflects the position of the level of severity of the tripod, the size of the sign of power, or even rise and fall of monarchy.

Mostly covered with bronze on Animal Mask-like, these Animal Mask also called taotie. Taotie people think it is a greedy and insatiable monster with a mysterious, birth horn, claws, tail, in fact, is the common ox, tiger, sheep, created for the prototype. Taotie is formed after the deformation decoration. Divergent styles of the bronze sculpture present their unique artistic styling. Is an imaginary animal, lines are sideways, angular, a foot, rolled tails, mostly used for decorative belt. Animal Mask is the ancient god of animal and human form in an attempt to fabricate the image of the beast by means of the gods, the gods and have a valid appeal, you can set the power to help the tribes and fight natural disasters and other tribes. Animal mask the human form and combine to form the gods of the pattern of human ignorance from the original state of the transition to civilization.

To the mid-Western Zhou Dynasty, bronze decoration and style has changed. Taotie, circular pattern lines gradually, replaced the water ripple. Increase of cover objects, ear and other parts, and added a three-dimensional in these parts of the animal-shaped decoration. bronze statue in Shang and Zhou are all produced exquisitely. Brilliant bronze art in specific historical conditions, by those who had no personal freedom, but with rich imagination created by slaves, such a wide variety of decoration, style, not only the wisdom of casting and superb craftsman, but also also reflected the slave society of ethical concepts, as historical evidence. Talking about the market and appreciation of the skills Bronze Collection.

In the Chinese art market in full swing, with a high historical and cultural value collection of bronze has been tepid. Although a slight warming in recent years, and there have been some high-priced auction, but has entered one hundred million yuan era paintings, porcelain, they are still underestimating the value in the stage. Ancient chinese bronze sculptureare shaped extraordinarily with free patterns, elegant body and refined form. This reporter recently interviewed Chinese Heritage Society collection Deputy Secretary-General Li Kuijie evaluation committee, to hear him talk about the market and the appreciation of the Bronze collection techniques.

The great china bronze sculpture are too numerous to mention one by one. Recent signs of heating up the market bronze, but Li Kuijie do not think that market has begun started. "For the bronze varieties, only the National Heritage department orderly and spread abroad the return of bronze in the domestic market, so its circulation has been small, the overall price is low, but is the country's heavy bronze device, which has strong historical and cultural value and this category has always been the most recognized veteran collector, is the major items of the collection area, because many people do not recognize the value to the collection of bronze, so its future preservation and appreciation of the space is huge. "Likui Jie said.

Sotheby's auction of Chinese bronzes in the area is doing well

China has always adopted a bronze cultural relics departments are not open and strengthen the regulatory policies, the international auction market reacted strongly to Chinese bronzes, high frequency of this front-line workers had to take risks cobalt. Hikyuu bronze sculpture is one of the dragon’s nine sons with a big belly. And with the China Guardian, Shanghai Chong source, in making the international auction houses such as bronze, bronze mirrors, bronze and other miscellaneous special to be organized, the domestic market price of bronze or faster than any work of art.

The spring of 2001, Christie's New York, USA and work of ancient Chinese porcelain crafts auction special on the introduction of the five Chinese bronzes, a Chinese Shang Dynasty bronze "Vincent dish" party jar the body, to a record $ 9.24 million East art auction the highest price. In this way, a bronze statue like this may protect the house and accumulate wealth. This jewels unearthed in Hunan Taoyuan in 1922, its covers, existing in the Hunan Provincial Museum. To David, "first-in-one body", Shanghai Museum and the Poly Art Museum together raised a huge sum of money, the United States to participate in bidding, but the end result of a French auction bids lost to nearly forty percent more than our budget.

Sotheby's auction of Chinese bronzes in the area is doing well, Sotheby's from around 2000, there are Chinese bronzes auction records, in 2003, Spring No. 6 shot in the late Shang Dynasty bronze tripod, and shoot the fall of 2004 bronze jade cup with ears are the first 117 to 1.457 million yuan turnover. Horse and swallow, a piece of famous chinese bronze sculpture of Han Dynasty, is kind of China’s tourism logo. 2005, Lot No. 146 bronze square jar to 3.1 million yuan turnover. The spring of 2006, Macao Chong first shot will be at the source, shot 49 on the Chinese bronzes all transactions, the transaction price of more than $ 1 million at auction a total of 12; more Animal Mask BU to 32.2 million dollar deal, mosaic glass inlay with gold silver paint pot to 26.45 million dollar deal.

Chong, general manager of the source of international construction season, Mr. Sung said that the auction is popular enough, the buyers have come to, there are many new buyers, but also most of the last things to buy a new buyer, the transaction price have reached the ideal results we expected, Chong is considering the source of international efforts to increase the auction, the big shot every year into two seasons shot once each quarter. The implication of a bronze sculpture like this is that placing one in your home you may have instant success and win the victory in the first battle. In 2007 Sotheby's auction in bronze on the performance of more brave, No. 507 in the spring auction of high-generation bronze jade cup with ears to 63,292,240 million price deal.

Ge Zhou No. 511 to 8.01 million yuan turnover, turnover of 2.25 million No. 508, 504, 2.16 million turnover, 505 No. 1.13 million. Once again set the highest auction price of Chinese bronzes. In 2008, Macao Chong special source in the autumn auction of Chinese antiques, but also on the film, including bronze mirrors, hook, bronze, bronze statues, including a 77 auction, which auction No. 70, late Spring and Autumn Bird respect the highest valuation, valued at 350 ~ 450 dollars. It is said that the antique china bronze sculpture is popular these days. Tragic results of the entire auction, with a total turnover of 29.56 million Hong Kong dollars, turnover rate was 40.49%, while the bronze part is not optimistic.

Hot Auction of the bronze sculpture in Chongyuan

2006 Chongyuan international auction (Macau) Bronze auction, in the "Chinese antiques" special (Macau) auction: 139 auction, a total turnover of 110, about 80% turnover rate, turnover amounted to 6 thousand million. A flying dragon and bronze sculpture word could protect the families from harm in addition to beautify and decorate the house. Such a high turnover rate of antique auction in recent years is extremely rare. Carried out in the first, "Chin possession of money" feature, a total of 39 auction of all transactions, and transaction prices are multiples valuation. Lot No. 35 Sengoku wrong Jinyin Yun Ding Wen is 5.485 million yuan more to become the audience of the price of most. Chinese bronzes to millions of dollars among the "Chinese Antique" special prices for the top ten.

The reason why this auction to achieve the desired results, first, because the source of international bronze worship has become a brand auction. According to the season Chong Jian, very high-end bronze auctions, auction houses rarely set foot in the mainland, but the hot market in recent years, the mainland auction from time to time on the film, but the auction is often uneven, and sometimes controversial. If you are going to pick up gifts for a wedding, a reproduction of Chinese bronze statue is also a beloved option. After several years of international sources and Chong Bronze auction, has formed a consistent evaluation, that is not in dispute, the buyer more comfortable. This is a behind Chongyuan international lineup of experts from museums around the team for the bronze.

Chong also said the construction season, Chong has become the source of international auction a special convention: Each auction will have new faces, and each time new buyers often succeeded mainly because they offer higher. This shows the source of international buyers worship is continually expanding, but also shows the source so that they are more relaxed worship. Except for the chinese bronze sculpture recommended above, there are many other options. The result is that the price of the auction Chongyuan bronze Although consciously distanced themselves from the auction market in Europe and America, but maintaining the 30% gain. Reporters noted that the ranking among the top 10 of the bronzes, there are seven late Shang dynasty. In this regard, Ji Sung built specifically pointed out that for bronze, he insisted that the peak period of Chinese bronze late Shang and Western Zhou Dynasty. He said the value of bronze, mainly to see the shape, decoration and inscriptions.

Although the latter as the Warring States Period, Han Dynasty bronze casting process is more sophisticated and diverse, the shape will be more beautiful light, delicate ornamentation fancier, but also contemporary lacquer ware unearthed this magnificent decoration. In the turn of the Shang and Zhou bronzes, the kind of strange shapes, fine decoration, there is a strong sense of mystery. Bronze was the monopoly of the nobility, or ritual, worship only in special occasions, is a symbol of wealth and power. The ancients believed that some china bronze sculpture like a tortoise could foresee the survival and death and told the good or bad luck. These objects with the then popular witchcraft, is echoed, and the resulting visual impact is irreplaceable and unique. Ancient Chinese bronzes has unmatched artistic and historical value, works of art in ancient times should be the first. Bronze is the use of copper, tin, lead alloy casting, is one of Chinese traditional plastic arts. It not only has practical value, and has furnished appreciation value.

We will present a specific introduction in accordance with characters of the bronze sculpture as references in the following.

In ancient China, a bronze statue is the mark of power and status as well as the sign and the spirit of the Bronze Age. Bronze Age, bronze, high 1.74 meters, the French sculptor Rodin created in 1876-1877 years, is now in France, Luxembourg.

1870 Franco-Prussian War, Rodin With blind nationalism, patriotism enlisted Bingtui way home. Penniless Rodin statue was engraved in his own teacher Kali Ai - Bayles's name to make money, after being found out of the studio. One has studied in the studio Bayles who took his partner to make some traditional statue to sell. Soon, Rodin disgusted by all this, he was bailing out, like breathing air that true art. Now people apply the chinese bronze sculpture to incense to their ancestors to pray for rich life, a rousing business and prosperous family. He hands the little money went to the Netherlands and Italy, where he is impressed by Michelangelo. Has long been brewing in his mind finally broke out of the creative impulse.

Just resulted from the special qualities of ding, the china bronze sculpture is beloved by the public. It is life-sized, Rodin was originally named it conquered.

Very few characters on the bronze

West period, the Zhou Dynasty to the lower culture, high culture to conquer the small Yap big bang. In this case. Zhou particular suspect will learn advanced business culture, with a time when most commercial bronze craftsmen are descendants of business culture also felt a nostalgic feeling. Therefore, many operators love the mood of nostalgia attached to the early Western Zhou bronzes. A Western Zhou Dynasty. Period of Shanxi bronze decoration, almost completely mimics the umbrella business décor. The bronze sculpture in Warring States period was rich in strong flavor of everyday life. The gluttonous, Kuilong, Plover, cicadas, turtles fish and other animal-based patterns, the most common. The decoration is still taotie, followed by Kui Wen, Phoenix Bird. Objects often Yunlei Wen for the end, Triple whole body full flower.

In addition, some objects have gates of the first animal and other additional decorative edge. Focus on the overall layout of decoration, pay attention to the phase between the various elements of W coordination. Beautiful objects modeling solemn, strange decoration style mystery. Note that, though. The late Shang and early Western Zhou bronze decoration a few goes for, but that does not mean that week and traders are the same ideas. The bronze statue at that time were concentrated on practical purposes. Because, from the spirit reflected in the materialized. Requires a more lengthy process, not overnight, with regime change in this particular social context, but also slow down the spirit of the physical and chemical processes. Therefore, until the mid-Western Zhou Dynasty, due to political stability and cultural maturity, Zhou their ideas before they really began to be reflected in bronze.

Zhou rulers, drawing traders' Tanjiu subjugation "of the lesson, very little alcohol. Zhou dynasty bronzes, wine compared to the previous generation of the number of dropped, most of them for food, or cooking device. Mid-Western Zhou bronze decoration, Shanxi, and other fantasy animal pattern taotie significantly reduced, Phoenix Bird is still popular, animal patterns are mostly used turtles, fish, cattle, cicadas, silkworms, elephants, birds and daily living close to realistic production animals. The chinese bronze sculpture of Han Dynasty were ingenious, brilliant, luxurious yet graceful at the same time. Stolen song pattern, ring bands, wave pattern, re-ringed, and other fish-scale pattern into abstract geometric patterns start a new trend. Concise style, simple, smooth lines and sparse nature. Gives the impression not so mysterious, but more Jisi breath of life.

The late Western Zhou: animal pattern gradually became auxiliary lines, and steal music, ring, scale patterns and other geometric patterns become mainstream. Layout of the rigorous, structured, the rules of almost formulaic. The inscriptions on china bronze sculpture during that time had involved from the bold and unstrained coarse flower into neat and small flower. At the same time, the "triple full of flowers" decorative style gradually fade into history. In the sculptures, the multi-moment method for the line. Bas-relief are rare. As the growing number of inscriptions, decorations during this period is still more simple trend Park. Of particular note is. Although very few characters on the bronze, but in this period, the image of a enhanced realism, closer to people's true colors.

This change can not be ignored, which reflects the prevailing social climate, it is likely more important than in the previous generation of reality. The bronze sculpture in later dynasties tend to direct into patterning without mysterious color. For example: In 1989, Shanxi Wenxi the late Western Zhou Dynasty unearthed on guocun car. Through high 9.1 cm, length 13.7 cm. Width of 11.3 cm. A total of six, two four small, rectangular compartments. Shop front side of the first car title ring, but also push pull. Car cover for a squat to catch the monkey hand, cover the four thimble has four freely rotating beak birds, whole body feather ornaments.

Looking inside the four corners were a bear. Compartments on both sides of the other tigers and birds. Decorated with four small wheels on the two tigers. In the production process, the most prominent are the invention and applications of the bronze sculpture. The car decoration image fourteen kinds of animals can be active parts of the fifteen, novel design, exquisite exquisite casting. Across the country found that only this one is a bit rare treasure, now collected in Shanxi Institute of Archaeology. Imagination of our ancestors and show great skill manufacturing level, and fully reflects the height of bronze culture in Shanxi prosperity.

In 711 BC, secluded in the Quan Rong Zhou killed. Zhou declared demise. Thus the arrival of Spring and Autumn Period, Chinese people's thinking has undergone a tremendous change. This period. In people's thinking around more active than ever, people began to wake up this idea, philosophers rise of theocratic rule was replaced by the patriarchal ritual. The common skills of the bronze statue are gold-silver-inlaid, embedded copper, gold-silver-overlaid and other methods. Bronze also will change. Mainly as follows: to reduce the mysterious animal ornamentation, Li Ning ferocious style of play down. Eventually, human glory gradually reflect it. Jin, Spring and Autumn Period is a political, economic, and military are more developed vassal state. A late Western Zhou Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn.

Period, with the powerful Jin, bronze culture by leaps and bounds. Shanxi bronze casting reached its peak at this time, and gradually formed a style Jin, Birds of bronze showing a lot of new features, bronze casting at that time have a greater impact. White mid-1950s, archaeologists have excavated more than a thousand in Shanxi and the tombs at the site, unearthed a large number of fine bronze. Given long history and numerous varieties of chinese bronze sculpture, they are famous in the world. Bronze decoration style and features. With the development of different, according to these different styles, we can be divided into: early spring, late spring, early Warring States Period, Warring States in the late four.

Early Spring: The period of Shanxi bronze, sleek exotic, elegant decoration and smooth. To worship and ritual bronzes to have almost no features. There are more weapons, eating utensils. Bronze began gradually to daily life developments in the field. Bronze decoration, except a small amount of re-ring pattern, the pattern and the coil snake coil Chi pattern began to slip. Arts and technology for development. The classification aims to distinguish more clearly the nature and usage of china bronze sculpture. Widely used impression method. Taotie not occupy the prominent parts of the abdomen and other objects, but the root down to the foot, such as secondary Fuer or until the first shop. Decoration, mostly single, rarely shading to zonal Pan Chi pattern, birds pattern, Jomon, mostly shell pattern.

One typical decoration is the giant tiger mouth dragon wings. Continuous pattern prevalent at this time. Animal mask in ornamentation, often with Kuilong, Kui Fung and other animals entangled with each other, biting each other, end to end to form ring patterns. Such decoration objects often appear in the shoulder and neck. This action is to facilitate the study, appreciation and collection of the bronze sculpture. After the mid-emergence of iron bronze began to decline. With the technology of smelting iron Xingda, sharp carving tools came into being. Bronze casting process is more advanced, many new T-arts techniques. For example, gold and silver inlay, including gold and silver, gilt, carved so thin thread. The ceremony Disintegration also verified week one thousand toward the former position no longer exists.

The bronze sculpture had been greatly developed

I got to the end of the Western Han Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty, bronze ritual vessels have been very small. People in the Western Zhou Dynasty had begun to attach importance to collect the bronze sculpture. Chariot pits the top left corner is inside the Terracotta Warriors unearthed a Tong Juma, four horses, a horseman and a car, and basically live, the size of the real car is the same. The other three are from the Western Han Dynasty, Hebei Zhongshan city is the tomb of Liu Sheng, Liu Sheng and his wife Dou York they unearthed the tomb of bronze, we can see it and basically no bronze Shang history and relationship. Right above this call Boshan furnace, which is inside can burn incense, smoke gas. The lower left is a lamp, the lamp above you can see, we can see that the shade Here is a wrench, it can open and close the door to adjust the light intensity.

Maid's hands, arms are hollow, smoke can be set into the body through the arm and then go inside. (Right) Below is a clock, the clock is not that hit the bell, full of the above named birds Seal wrong, wrong above, full text, the text is based on a variety of linking the shape of birds. They took the bronze statue belonged to the former dynasty as sacred objects. Just said, in remote places, this time bronze industry is still relatively prosperous, more prominent place in Yunnan and Western Regions. Top two shell called storage device, all from Yunnan, top performance at the time of slavery, how slaves whereabouts execution. Then this was a performance above the market and a rally scene. This is a tube called the lower right corner to mention.

Comes from Guangxi Gui County Bay Han, decoration above it is thought that some of the leading decoration, it's the decoration is up with the ink painting and calligraphy, and painting may be up to. The study of chinese bronze sculpture started from the Han Dynasty. This group is traveling travel bronze figurines, and found in Wuwei, Gansu drum sets, the performance of the new landlord was Han pleasure of their lives. In general, I used to say when the Chinese bronzes, on the date of the Han dynasty. Han dynasty, although I am now studying, but it culture, technically speaking, no longer have any breakthrough. From an artistic point of view, nor does it have classic status, so he did not study. If we are to sum up, this is called after the Han dynasty such a practical and retro period.

The so-called practical, that is, objects are mostly practical, everyday utensils, in addition to China through the introduction of Buddhism, Buddha made a lot of suits. Currency casting is the most important dynasties bronze industry. Then people will bronze mirror is basically used for each commodity. In the Song formatted the study of inscriptions on ancient china bronze sculpture and stone tablets. So the two products, has been in the feudal era bronze industry focus. Technically speaking, this period, up to 2000, the Model Law is basically mud and lost wax are used in parallel, the Model Law to cast mud coins, bronze mirrors, lost wax casting method is mainly used to those statues. From the alloy, the copper-tin-tin-lead, copper, copper alloy that has a lead. To the Song Dynasty, and bronze industry-related systems.

In Ming and Qing time, the bronze sculpture had been greatly developed. There are two very important innovation: one is the emergence of spot copper is copper-nickel alloy; the other is at the end of the Ming Dynasty, zinc technology breakthrough occurred. Ancient Chinese bronze art, is the Xia, Shang and Zhou era (about 2070 BC - 221 BC) the ancestors of human culture to make a great contribution. The world's ancient civilizations have gone through the Bronze Age, the only ancient Chinese bronzes to give a great social significance, profound spiritual meaning, and highly perfect art form, making it an outstanding example of the art.

Ancient Bronze Statue With Unique Artistic Charm

As early as the Neolithic Age (about 8000 years BC - before 2000 years ago), late the land of China has emerged a simple copper. Achievements of ancient Chinese bronze art, mainly in the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties three, before and after the continuation of 2,000 years to the Qin and Han period is the end of its development. In the Republic of China (1912-1949), the scientific archaeological research on the bronze sculpture has taken part in. Late Shang and early Western Zhou Dynasty, is the artistic development of bronze first peak; the Eastern Zhou Dynasty Spring and Autumn Period to the mid-Warring States period, is the second peak. Brilliant achievements of these two periods, representing different times of the aesthetic pursuit.

Bronze shape and decoration of the perfect combination, constitute a major factor in the emotional content of bronze, reflecting different cultural spirit of the times. Bronze inscriptions, also known as Jin, has an important documentary value and the value of calligraphy. Shape, decoration and inscriptions, both the study and appreciation of the arts bronze main content, but also to countless underground excavated bronzes dating works can be phased basis. All these studies and researches have encouraged the development of the study on the bronze statue. Ancient Chinese bronze culture is a worldwide research. Bronze discovery and research, so long in a hazy state of China's ancient history became clear appearance, which is also outstanding after the creation of human ancestors proud.

Unique charm of Chinese ancient bronze art. Ancient Chinese bronze art appreciation not only high value, and has a high scientific value. Each piece is a bronze art, unique charm. The picturesque superb plastic arts, the art gives a pleasant experience. Bronze artistic charm in three aspects: the form of cleverly conceived, richly elegant decoration, a variety of Ming-style instrument body. During that time, owning one piece of bronze sculpture was a great thing. And the product phase range. Tao Fan method combined with the casting, generally a range of devices only cast a few face exactly the same bronze, bronze ritual in can not find two identical objects, each one is unique bronze ritual.

This will increase the Chinese bronze ritual vessels are artistic value. Broadening the horizons of art appreciation. Tiger cannibalism wine container is the late Shang Dynasty bronze Chinese treasures, there are two. Later go abroad, a hidden spring in Japan House Museum, a City hidden in Oriental Art in Paris, France, Japan possession of this piece. The device 32.5 centimeters high and weighs 5.09 kg, the surface most of the black, leaving a thin patina of local, harassment of its decoration, the theme of human animals, weird performance ideal. Knowing of identifying the chinese bronze sculpturehad almost become a sign of noble status for the upper classes. Tiger cannibalism wine container on the decorative features, there are mainly the following five observations: First, the performance of the tyranny of brutal rulers, in order to shape intimidate slaves.

The tiger is a symbol of slave-owning class, who are slaves of the representative; the second is the human-animal relationship as the power of people to communicate with the animal world; three is a symbol of human self and the divine unity of the animals in order to obtain the protection of animals; Fourth, man-eating tiger actually reflects the "tiger food ghost" of the myth that the mighty tiger to expel evil spirits, to take evil purposes; five representatives of the natural world is a tiger, a symbol of people's fear of nature, but must be attached to the natural , the weakness of human nature. Enthusiasm for the pursuit of china bronze sculpture has been continued for thousands of years. The true intentions of the ancient man-made device what-what, I am afraid no one knows.

They will get more of aesthetic enjoyment from the bronze sculpture

Why? Bronze on foreign markets because prices are high, particularly good thing, the market price difference can reach tens, hundreds of times. Lured by high profits in this situation is difficult to control, protection of the bronze is very negative. Cf, porcelain, paintings and other collectibles categories, because the domestic market of the popular, attracting a large number of the real thing back home, except bronze remains intact, also because of the price factor, continuously flowing overseas, I think Chinese people will feel any sad. Second, the simple variety is the second law of formal beauty of the bronze sculpture. Because no domestic market, we can not through their own financial resources and channels, to the baby at home.

Chinese bronze appearance Argentina. Elegant style, exquisite decoration, simple color, 100 genuine ancient bronze to China's ancient culture to the South American continent. Chinese President Hu Jintao's visit in Argentina on the eve of the opening in the Arab capital of Buenos Aires "Chinese Bronze Exhibition" Let the audience indulge in Argentina mysterious ancient oriental culture. If combined the simplicity and diversity, the bronze statue will become rich. Exhibition in the old National Museum of Decorative Arts held in Argentina. This museum was built in the early 20th century, is one of South America's most important museums, museum houses paintings, sculptures and decorations such as 4,000, of which the 16th century to 20th century art in Latin America's leading small.

The "Chinese Bronze Exhibition" on display 100 exhibits, including ancient Chinese bronze weapons, musical instruments, wine, water, food control device and Ning, as well as some small and delicate decorations, such as the four corners of the town, I suppress the mat, man-eating tiger Jushi shape, as well as smoked incense, etc., every item is filled with strong flavor of life. Exhibits in the museum hall, antique bronze chandelier with golden hall, white walls, arched windows, doors and carved 16th-century European painting each other.

Almost every Argentine audience stood for some time before the bronze exhibits, watch carefully the patterns and designs on the bronze, and bronze through an interpreter to understand the purpose. A young Argentine named Jorge praise after seeing the exhibits, that "ancient Chinese bronzes seem to tell a long history of this ancient oriental country." Engaged in sales of medical equipment, Mr. Gonzalez said: "China Bronze shape and pattern above amazing. The most interesting is that these bronzes from 3,000 years ago at the hands of the craftsmen, which reflects the Chinese people of wisdom. " It greatly improves people’s aesthetic interest to the chinese bronze sculpture.

They will get more of aesthetic enjoyment from the bronze sculpture. Eastern civilization in the distant side of the globe to make the audience charmed Argentina, "Culture Without Borders," the argument here has been confirmed. As Argentine President Nestor Kirchner and cultural activities in China before the opening ceremony of an enthusiastic speech said: "In a globalized world, China's cultural events can prove to the world of culture at different longitude and latitude of the people close linked. "

Argentina's national organizer of the exhibition's curator of decorative arts museum, Mr. Bellucci said he visited Bilbao in Spain when the Chinese Terracotta Warriors by a strong shock, always hoped one day to organize similar exhibitions in Argentina, and today this dream finally achieved. Among the bronze sculptures, looking at a simple decoration on china bronze sculpture will be dull and boring. When asked about the appreciation of the Argentine audience accustomed to Western painting and sculpture at the same time able to accept the Oriental culture, Mr. Bellucci said with a smile, "This is nothing to worry about. The unique and mysterious oriental culture, the hearts of audiences in Argentina have occupied a place, many viewers may not understand the text and images on the bronzes represent the true meaning, but the bronze shape and patterns, as well as bronze musical instrument sound intoxicated enough to make every audience. "

The Record Breaking bronze statue

Prices were on the ancient bronze million. Carrying a few thousand years of Chinese cultural and historical value of ancient Chinese bronzes, not only can be seen in museums, private collections also account for a substantial portion, and its market price are million as the unit. Put these decorations together and matched with the shapes of bronze sculpture, you can feel the dignified and classical beauty of bronze sculpture. June 28, the delegation visited the Southern heritage enjoys an international reputation in the bronze of the Shanghai Museum, where it felt the charm of ancient bronzes. Auction high record breaking Bronze.

Currently, the antique market can truly be called "the rich collection," probably none other than the non-bronze. Carrying a few thousand years of Chinese cultural and historical value of ancient Chinese bronzes, not only can be seen in museums, private collections also account for a substantial portion, and its market price are million as the unit. Harmony and unity and particular care to the whole effect is also well manifested in the taotie design on the bronze statue. Just ended in late June in Shanghai Chong source of large works of art at auction in spring 2005, only three bronze collections are higher than the valuation price of many transactions, of which a 33.2 cm high of the Shang Dynasty bronze "Father of wine container Guardian" valuation of 120 million, 154 million transactions last, 28% higher than the valuation.
In fact, this transaction results are not "surprise", the artistic value of ancient bronzes of China has long been subject to domestic and foreign artists and collectors who recognized, in foreign countries where many major museums, Museum of Chinese bronzes have been set up, and there are many hidden treasures. The same is in the auction market, China's ancient bronze repeatedly hit a high-priced auction. Based on the decoration, shape and function of china bronze sculpture, integrated use of contrast, symmetry, balance, levels, etc have been taken into considerations. In New York last year, Asian art auctions, special bronze were introduced 16 auction of ancient Chinese bronzes, including a high of about 29.8 cm of the late Shang Dynasty Western Zhou Dynasty bronze furnace, valuation is $ 1.3 million. As early as in 2001, the United States New York art auction at Christie's, the Shang Dynasty bronze "Vincent III" party jar the body, to $ 9.24 million on the transaction price, as the myth of the history of bronze auction.

Distinction depends on the authenticity of decoration. In China, the Shanghai Museum's bronze collection is the world's leading, were on display at the Shanghai Museum, more than 400 pieces of exquisite ancient Chinese bronze, a rich collection of ancient bronzes that the history of art can be fully demonstrated. Besides, the appropriate selection and combination of a variety of decorations has set off the modeling of the bronze sculpture. Classified by the shape of these bronzes can be divided into food, wine, wash water heater, musical instruments, weapons and miscellaneous devices, in accordance with the development of the era of sub-bronze, bronze base is divided into the initiation period, incubation period of bronze, its peak period Bronze.

Bronze and update period of transition period bronzes, it is worth noting that each period has its own bronze obvious features. Because of these characteristics marked the history of the brand, is now to distinguish the authenticity of bronze dating bronze and important research materials. The decorations make the chinese bronze sculpture more dignified. Guangzhou City, headquarters of the accompanying cultural experts Wuzhen Zhao explained that this bronze ornamentation, especially worthy of study and comparison. For example, he said, the early and mid-Shang bronze art of China's Bronze mature stage of development, with wine-based, Animal Mask sample is relatively common; late Shang to early Western Zhou bronze art has reached a glorious peak period, exquisite ornamentation, covered the body uses a lot of relief carving of the peace process, the most important Western Zhou bronze inscriptions appeared on the voluminous.

Shang and Zhou dynasties Han people understand the art of bronze has been a lot of constraints

Zhang Songbin said, of course, the point is we need to distinguish between the above fraud is political and power struggle for the purpose, strictly speaking, and for-profit fraud today is substantially different. Han has been separated from the business week a dozen centuries, due to social changes in the environment, Shang and Zhou dynasties Han people understand the art of bronze has been a lot of constraints. It is a memorial bronze sculpture of the Emperor of Shang to his mother (named Wu). To the Han dynasty, the Shang and Zhou bronzes, once brought to light, often thought it was a sign of good fortune. Zhang Songbin said. According to the Emperor Wu Ji Han records, Yuanding Han Dynasty (BC 116 years) Summer in May, get ting fenshui on.

Four years, "June, Baoding Houtu Temple was next. Autumn, Ottawa cow horse lying in the water. As" Tripod "," Pegasus "Song." However, it was suspected the Emperor Han Ding is a veteran when the fake Aragaki level (the doctor) to flatter the Emperor and the buried pseudo device, to the Dynasty era was discovered. So far, it is the largest and the heaviest bronze statue among the unearthed dings. Does not distinguish the authenticity of the Emperor, thought it was Zhou Ding, so the reign to "Yuanding" commemorative. Can be seen, there was carried out to please the emperor bronze fake things. According to records, the new wall is flat and tells the people he'll have engraved in a "take charge of life extension" before, ostensibly to give the immortal Emperor of the Han. Result of the incident, was Daughter prize.

In the Tang and Five Dynasties Song Dynasty before has the history of imitation bronze. Song ZHAO Xi-Hu "Cave Ching Lu set" has documented the Tang, Five Dynasties and government-run workshop specializing in imitation bronze thing. In March 1939, the china bronze sculpture was discovered in a farmland of the villager, Wu Yuyao, in Wuguan Village, Houjiazhuang, Anyang, Henan. This deposit of a Western Zhou goblet Palace Museum, some experts found it was the imitation of the Tang Dynasty. Zhang Songbin that Song is the first peak in imitation bronze. In addition to the common imitation Song Han and Tang bronze mirror, the Song major counterfeit operators, Zhou period bronze ritual.

The main reason is the ruler of the Song Dynasty Five Dynasties and Ten States to change the chaotic political situation, advocated by the school to restore ritual, yet ancient, ancient worship, coupled with the promotion of Huizong Zhao Ji, the author's participation in the bureaucracy. Besides, this precious bronze sculpture has a legendary experience. Not only Favorite Shang and Zhou bronze ritual vessels, but cf Simulator imitation of ancient bronzes, in the province of Bo on the preservation of some of the masterpieces of the Song Shang and Zhou bronze ritual imitation, imitation products now have these thousand years of history.

Due to its large size and heavy weight, the chinese bronze sculpture was difficult to move or transport. Song of imitation goods, mainly with the Shang and Zhou bronzes of different materials, using materials at the time the Song Dynasty, was characterized by dark copper, soft, casting method is used on the Song of the technology, wax casting, no Fan line, but through years of rust and pack slurry is true. Song in imitation of the species, the main business Zhou imitation device, rarely seen fake Warring States, Qin, Han Su device, not imitation weapons, traveling, etc. Zhang Songbin said.
