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.
