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.

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.
