The decoration on the chinese bronze sculpture
Marked the beginning of Chinese bronze mirrors from the stage to the development period, peak period, then in decline, prosperity, recession, the development of saddle-shaped curve, which is representative of the Warring States period mirror, mirror, and Han Sui mirror. As a totem, the bronze sculpture is a natural image and more is animal image. These stages or in the casting is technically innovative, the shape or type of decoration on the unique way the content and performance characteristics. The total production is characterized by large, beautifully cast, style, constantly updated and lively.
Bronze culture was dying in the context of the production and use of bronze mirrors have shown a scene of prosperity, not just objective extend the life of China's bronze culture, and bronze mirrors and the world cultural comparison, also has very strong and unique cultural implication. Hence, they worshipped and adored the bronze sculpture with incomparable piety. Therefore, the Japanese scholar Mei original end of treatment in the ancient mirror takes to say, said: with copper as the main component of metal mirror produced in the Near East, Southern Europe and other ancient cultural circles Asian countries have been in existence. The dragon patterns, kui dragon patterns, phoenix patterns and cicada patterns of china bronze sculpture are some of the proof. But East Asia with China as the center of the bronze mirror, its shape and material of the well, casting delicate, almost shoulder to shoulder not the former; Ding Yi device with the so-called container, is known to the world of ancient China to boast an arts and crafts, which is the obvious fact. Warring States bronze mirrors the development of the cultural background.
Development to the Warring States bronze mirror, casting only from the geographical point of view has far exceeded any previous period. Since the late Western Zhou Dynasty, when the system is almost ritual Disintegration, Wei Ling Yi, while princes are keen to engage in power politics between the Warring Qin policy called The Emperor to the princes, the world Mogan not listen. The progress of the Chinese bronze sculpture has underwent the Xia, Shang and Zhou. This situation to the late Spring and Autumn, with the Southern Miss, Vietnam and other countries grow, the more intense the struggle for hegemony Central Plains. Striving to become dominant, the first condition is to enhance its own strength, so that countries have also conducted a number of political and economic reforms. Lu on the farm, recorded Fanmin from seven feet or more, are all three officers.
Farming millet attack, attack devices work, Jia attack cargo. Result of the reform, so that the vassal state of the national strength has increased to varying degrees, but also to promote social progress. The style of china bronze sculpture runs from the dignified and solemn art to simple, concise and crisp style. This progress is mainly in the handicraft industry and commercial aspects, and then bronze mirror and cultural development, but also thanks to these two aspects. From handicraft, first of all, Bronze casting is no longer the royal patent, Ye Tong and bronze range has seen unprecedented expansion. Well now Inner Mongolia, Hubei Tonglushan, Hunan nine Bay, red wood Anhui, Shanxi Houma, Luoyang, Henan and other places have found Xinzheng large Yetong site.
That analysis, the output should be finished bronze was a lot, which has been on modern archaeological evidence. Second, quantitative caused a qualitative change, mainly for the bronze casting process has been a qualitative leap. Meanwhile, the social function of the bronze sculpture also evolves from the sacrificial vessels to the practical apparatus by degrees. In the handicraft industry, driven by growing the vassal state of the business development, to break the food business system constraints, there were many merchant. The decoration on the chinese bronze sculpture proceeds from the majestic taotie, kui pattern to metical qiequ pattern. The blue mid-Warring States bronze greatly increased the number of mirror, bronze mirror makes it possible commercialization. Liaoning, Inner Mongolia, Sichuan, Guangdong and Guangxi areas or other places, have unearthed a few of the Central Plains region had the same style of blue bronze mirrors, bronze circles, as traders note the flow and expansion, which is the political power can not reach. Warring States bronze mirror the characteristics of. Overall, the sophisticated appearance, workmanship are bronze mirrors the highlights of the Warring States Period features.

The chinese bronze sculpture designers of Wu bronze
Shang bronze decoration is rich in implication and the rhythm of the organic integration of form, aesthetic pleasure in include a social utilitarian. From the existing decoration of view, its much more than its symbolic decoration, which has so far silent pattern of religious people speak of the concept of Shang and etiquette, and his master's will and expectations of the rulers. In brief, it is a treasure hard to come by in the midst of Wu’s bronze sculpture. The bronze was the performance of the myth of content and ideas, and some may be related to the various tribal totem was on, was the reflection of cultural backgrounds. And some may be marked with the imprint of the social life of the times. But now the myth related to already lost many of the social history of historical events has been the past, we naturally lose the cultural background of the break time basis.
The aesthetic mood was still being revealed in the bronze ornamentation. Bronze decoration of the equipment, mainly for communication between man and God’s religion into account functional considerations and utensils. The first is to consider religious function. Shang is revere the first ghost of age, of heaven and earth, gods, respect for nature dominates man’s thinking, and human self-consciousness is still in the stage looked. The chinese bronze sculpture designers of Wu bronze creates these artworks full of artistic charm. Bronze Age ancestors as gods of communication, close to the world of ritual, must also determine its decoration is a symbol of religious meaning, and should have provided the decoration features. The overall mood of bronze ritual process should be mysterious, tight, consistent atmosphere of terror, to help complete the Bronze Age to the deified by the people of the change.
This is mainly achieved through animal patterns. Chang said, “The animals have some help witch wizard through heaven and earth, and their image in ancient times will be cast in bronze Yi on the.” He also played Fu’s view, said, “At least there are a number that is ritual sacrifice of animals. The bronze sculpture still manifests their own corresponding aesthetic experience, aesthetic sense and aesthetic concepts. Animal is the use of animals for sacrifice to help people through the witch wizard to God, heaven and earth pass, pass up and down a concrete way.” The entire china bronze sculpture is clearly in arrangement and extraordinarily vivid, attracting the audiences and achieving the aesthetic effect. The main reason, one in the Zuo Venerable three years, the Sun-filled summer to talk about tripod functioning of a say. He said, “ZD like material, soaring to do this preparation, so that people know God evil.” With the Association on the upper and lower energy, to Edward Hugh.
The second is Mountains and Seas mentioned several times by two dragons, two snakes, etc., is to help others through heaven and earth. The readers can get a glimpse into the requirements of the Wu’s china bronze sculpture decorations laying stress on the sense of layers. Third, modern shamanism has a similar approach. Patterns of many animals, the myth was embodied in the background, but unfortunately due to age-Miao Yuan, documents lost, not knowing when we have the myth system, and only from the later Shan Hai Jing and other literature to get some circumstantial evidence. Gang from the two years since the times of the Shang Dynasty and the prevalence of single geometric pattern of a target line, with the ancient myths and legends that purpose. Shan Hai Jing and there are a large number of records present myth.

Two thousand years to Zhou Qinqing Baoji unearthed thousands of bronze. The ornaments on Chinese bronze sculpture are rich in content. Since the founding of new China, Baoji and unearthed a large number of bronze, weighing equipment, especially the early Western Zhou Dynasty, where respect, the excavation of historical loss of load of the bow fish found in the country cemetery, Qishan Dong Village 37 The advent of bronze hoard, Fufeng Zhuang white and one No. cache of 103 bronze explore other, stunned the world. Many countries in the world, a place where there are museums, there must be unearthed in Baoji Bronze. Museum of bronze around the country, many unearthed here, Baoji known as bronze of the town.
Bronze Age is the first human use of the metal era, is an important symbol of ancient civilization, about 3000 BC, Mesopotamia and Egypt is the world's first Bronze Age into the area. The ornaments often give off a solemn and mysterious atmosphere, which may have something to do with the function of china bronze sculpture. China’s bronze culture originated in the Yellow River, about 21 century BC onwards, beyond the 5th century BC, began in the summer, flourished in the late Shang and Western Zhou Dynasty, until the late Warring States gradually fade into history, spanning about 1,500 years history.
Valuable in the ancient ritual to bronze up, the reason why the ancient bronzes buried in the ground, mainly for ritual or funerary objects after the death of kings and nobles. To enshrine the bronze sculpture in the temple would do something good to them - either bring them good luck or ward off evil spirits. or to escape the fighting and belongings buried in the family sacrificial ground Jiaoxue , Baoji, Shaanxi week as the original area over the years a large number of caches found in bronze, is the Western Zhou Dynasty social upheaval or poor nobility fled when planted, to be back after to continue to enjoy peace and harmony, who knows gone, these buried material has become ownerless property has survived.
Zhou Qinqing found and unearthed in the country more focused areas, such as bronze Xi'an, Xianyang, Baoji and other places in Luoyang, Henan Province, Baoji to the large number of artifacts, weighing more than is known at home and abroad.

For two millennia, Baoji more than 50,000 pieces unearthed Zhou Qinqing bronze, bronze is currently the city's collection of 15,000 pieces, but also as secondary sets. Much has been said about the meaning and explanation of decoration on the Shang ritual china bronze sculpture. Baoji bronzes unearthed Zhou Qinqing as much as the number of giant, called the highest in the country. Zhou Qin Youming Baoji unearthed a large number of bronze, the study of history and Zhou-Qin Xia Shang Zhou Chronology Project has an extremely important historical value.

Bronze Age is the first human use of the metal era, is an important symbol of ancient civilization, about 3000 BC, Mesopotamia and Egypt is the world's first Bronze Age into the area. The ornaments often give off a solemn and mysterious atmosphere, which may have something to do with the function of china bronze sculpture.

For two millennia, Baoji more than 50,000 pieces unearthed Zhou Qinqing bronze, bronze is currently the city's collection of 15,000 pieces, but also as secondary sets. Much has been said about the meaning and explanation of decoration on the Shang ritual china bronze sculpture. Baoji bronzes unearthed Zhou Qinqing as much as the number of giant, called the highest in the country. Zhou Qin Youming Baoji unearthed a large number of bronze, the study of history and Zhou-Qin Xia Shang Zhou Chronology Project has an extremely important historical value.

One of china bronze sculpture
Hunan Provincial Museum and the China Institute Art Museum of China (China Institute Gallery) jointly organized the Yangtze River - Hunan Shang and Zhou Bronzes Exhibition from February 1st in New York opened, displaying four months caused American public’s strong reaction. This kind of china bronze sculpture was mainly concentrated in Yin Ruins (Henan Anyang), the capital of Shang Dynasty.
June 3, 2011, great international influence of U.S. New York Times in the art criticism (Art in View) forum headlines published art critic Holland Cotter related comments. In 1935, more than 140 bronze sculpture helmets were excavated in the 1004 tomb in Houjiazhuang, Anyang of Henan province, which is seldom seen in other places. Holland Lookout is a handful of a few was Comment Pulitzer Prize, the art critic, one of the sharp powers of observation, clarity of writing and moving narrative means famous. In the comments lookout praised the Shang and Zhou bronzes, Hunan Exhibition exquisite, deep inside, people will never forget.
China Institute of the two museum area is not large, but once entered, you will be greeted as much cultural shock - these exquisite works of art from the ancient, unique, even if you line all over China, but also difficult to enjoy this lucky.

This is from the Hunan Provincial Museum, along the Yangtze River - Hunan Shang and Zhou Bronzes Exhibition 68 bronze to bring our strong feelings.

In recent years, the Yangtze River in southern China's Hubei and Hunan regional archaeological research not only from the geographical break through this limitation, add a lot more bronze treasure highly dynamic, creative and geographic characteristics of the style.
Admittedly, no matter where they were unearthed, mostly from the Shang and Zhou Dynasty (about 1600-256 BC) Bronze follow a certain pattern. For example, one called jade cup with ears of the three-legged wine vessel, flat, cutting the feet, is considered the earliest discovered in Hunan, bronzes, although it originated in Hunan is still a mystery. One of china bronze sculpture, helmets with animal mask is particularly mighty and handsome, light and comfortable. The wine and the northern region Some artifacts unearthed similar shape, and has not yet been found related to specific records. Another typical feature of the Yangtze River with the objects of relief decorated with a bird-shaped, serrated edge of the copper Bo.
Exhibition of well-known faces of the people there Shang Dynasty bronze tripod pattern, this cooking device abdomen surrounded by people all decorated an embossed surface. When the bronze sculpture weapons saw the light of the day again, the mottled stain also could not conceal the old mighty power. This Microhyla bronze unearthed in Hunan province not only in the world of human history is only this one.
The exhibit is exquisite stop intoxicated. Whether it is peculiar linear design, life-like decoration, or aeruginous tone nuances, all amazing. The chinese bronze sculpture exhibition hold by the Hunan Provincial Museum was a complete success. Chen Jianming, San Francisco Asian Art Museum Xu Jie, Hunan Provincial Museum curator Fu Juliang bronze Department jointly organized by researchers and lovers of Chinese art attention.

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

To the Shang Dynasty, was highly developed Bronze Age. China's Bronze Age ended in the Spring and Autumn Period, Warring States period to the Iron Age began to be replaced slave society has always been basic throughout. This time, agriculture, handicrafts have rapid development, and the emergence of text. The construction of state power gradually improved.
About 2000 BC, China entered the era of china bronze sculpture, the Xia, Shang and Western Zhou Dynasty, Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period, about the development of the 15 century. Bronze is copper and tin or lead alloy, the melting point of between 700 ~ 900 ℃, with excellent castability, high abrasion resistance and good chemical stability. Cast bronze sculpture must address the mining, smelting, molding, turning range, copper and tin-lead alloy composition ratio of preparation, furnace and crucible of manufacturing a series of technical problems. From the use of stone to cast bronze sculpture is a leap in the history of human technological development, social change and progress is the great driving force. bronze sculpture in the world culture of the era of uneven development.
China's bronze sculpture to extensive use of bronze age ritual and production tools, weapons for the feature. Understanding of the ancient ancestors of the long history of copper. Xi'an Banpo and Lintong Jiangzhai Yangshao site are individually found in the impure ingredients brass pieces; Gansu Dongxiang, Gansu Yongdeng Lin and Jiang Jia Ping Majiayao cultural sites, are unearthed a bronze knife; Shandong Jiaozhou Sanlihe unearthed in Longshan culture site of two copper-zinc alloy cone. At present the earliest known Chinese bronze culture as a typical late summer on behalf of the Erlitou culture, unearthed in the production of tools, weapons, tools and musical instruments such as the chinese bronze sculpture, casting technology is quite mature, has non-initial form. After early Shang Dynasty, the development of the mid-to late-and early Western Zhou business, bronze smelting industry reached a peak production of superb musical instruments and ritual sets the number of varieties as much as unprecedented.

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

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