The system of pseudo-ancient bronzes of the law to mercury mixed tin the end of the term of the present drugs are grinding the mirror

Henan ancient china bronze sculpture mirror collector LI Huai-pass, in the twenty years of collection, the study found that the ancient bronze mirror stainless steel and bronze of the "cancer rust" disease for the same reasons, because a metallic element - tin, described as "as also Xiao, also lost.  Ancient bronze mirror without burning cast tin Huainanzi repair service and training. The bronze sculpture achieved the aesthetic effect. There are clearly documented, "the beginning of the next type of mirror, dim but no description, and chirpy to mysterious tin, friction with White Zhan, eyebrows slightly cents Ke Deer police. Lu Yu up "in there early when the Qin and Han Dynasties, people are dipped in white felt" mysterious tin "to wear mirror the opening of the records, had a Chinese mirror "and clear and that the silver tin," "and the mysterious tin clear and that" the inscriptions.

Song and Yuan dynasties rise of the "mirror grinding industry", there was the grinding of said mirror medicine. Ming Feng Meng Chen in the "fast Xue Tang Man recorded," said: "After the opening cast bronze mirror: drugs, money, a good six tin, mercury, a good money. First cast tin, mercury second vote, to take effect, into Shanghao alum one-sixth of the money, research listen with. From this aspect, the readers can get a glimpse into the requirements of the Wu’s bronze statue. Ruoyu ancient mercury, mercury with alum decile, firing into the new rubbish like tin, painted a little mirror, and burned it. Ruoyu ancient Mexican paint, after opening on the mercury surface finished, the water soaked into the Zaofan day to take effect. plum days to be made of various colors. color rear wetlands parties themselves moving in January, the various colors and Han things goes, white sauce can not carry off. "

It can be seen, the control of mercury and ancient ancient Mexican paint the key is temperature. Ancient system of white mercury mirror to be "fire of the" make it a white tin dioxide, black ink system, the mirror does not have to paint the ancient fire, the formation of black oxide of tin. Yuan Tao Zongyi in the "cease farming commitments," said, "The system of pseudo-ancient bronzes of the law to mercury mixed tin the end of the term of the present drugs are grinding the mirror." The decorations of the chinese bronze sculpture laid stress on the sense of layers. In order to understand the "mysterious tin" in the end what that is, LI Huai-through access to a wealth of information, until a few months ago found in encyclopedias, plagued his entire decade-long mess was fully aware of the suspect. The original ancients called "mysterious tin" is a modern metallurgy called "gray tin."

The "mysterious tin" mean, and what knowledge is very inconsistent. Some work is lead powder, and some say that mercury, lead powder, and some say that a mixture of silver, and some say that a mixture of mercury and tin. LI Huai Tong said that this argument is not convincing, because the hardness of lead and tin than copper large, the ancients could not make the lead into a powder, mercury is a mysterious tin in the surface treatment on the basis of the mirror as a reflective material. Decorative patterns of the china bronze sculpture generate a third dimension. Existing Han bronze mirror grinding physical evidence, reflective layer of mercury have been falling, while the mysterious tin surface treatment remains the same, indicating that mercury is not as mysterious tin mixed together.
