"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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Artistic Features of the bronze sculpture
Continuation of the Song Dynasty Yuan antique style, Ming and Qing era. Qing Dynasty before the Song, Yuan, Ming has been a lot of antique bronze collection within the government of the Qing. Zhang Songbin description: "Qing and Republican periods antique bronze is the second peak of the Qing Dynasty Emperor Qianlong as the revival of love and epigraphy. People then tried to saw off the large bronze sculpture, and shipped it out, but only a foot was cut. Their collection for the Interpretation of the bronze inscriptions, exegetical reading history, writing, inscriptions, so antique bronze while promoting the development of court ritual rampant counterfeit fine (a lot of porcelain are pastiche style of bronze), form the official imitation, imitation is also a popular situation. "Qing, the late and more official imitation, and some imitation also features a section at the end of the Qing Dynasty.
Since the late Qing Dynasty relics of imperialist invasion and drain once again to promote the commercialization of civil antique bronze and antique dealer's professional, this stage should be considered during the Republic to come. Antique Bronze relatively well-known so-called "Weixian made", "Xian-made", "Beijing-made", "Suzhou-made", "Henan made" this period is successively formed. Hence, they quietly buried the bronze statue. During this period the major generic business week weight control, particularly in the main pseudo-carved inscriptions. Imitation is not only rampant in the country, but also spread to other countries, is accompanied by the outflow of the real thing out together. It can be said of the late Qing and Republican civil imitation goods, almost all the antique dealer to do to lie.
"During this period of imitation goods, and some do not meet the shape and decoration the Shang and Zhou device, and some non-Fan line, gasket, I identified in several encounters during this period of imitation of bronze tripod: some rival powers have come off naturally, is the result after the solder is oxidized. Later on, the news about this china bronze sculpture leaked, the Japanese came to search. Ming has some marks engraved, and some material is brass, these features are not difficult to find in the identification of when. "Zhang Songbin said. Imitation is hard to determine the authenticity of contemporary almost the real thing.
Bronze imitation of the last boom, is from the reform and opening up began in the mid 1980s, imitation bronze is the third peak. Zhangsong Bin said, "I saw the first knife is fake Warring States currency found in doubt, the door also had to ask the researcher Shandong Provincial Museum, ancient coins expert Mr. Zhu Huo, he determined to imitate. Without any result, they offered 700,000 coins to purchase the bronze sculpture. Followed almost are not imitation, imitation is not only a big ritual, and like no one before the imitation of bronze swords, bronze mirrors any were fake. imitation goods and more, high level, any period in history are unmatched.
"Zhang Songbin said fraud in about 1995, antique copper technology has basically mastered the ancient casting Warring States Period, the Han Dynasty, Tang Dynasty bronze mirror of the process method; around 2003 to replicate the basic process in line with the ancient bronze sword. The local people cleverly sent them another chinese bronze sculpture and this national treasure was stay put in China finally. Large ancient ritual of casting process has also been very few hands. Imitation of new technologies or the emergence of many collectors is hard to determine the authenticity of identification experts, have taken. Bronze art features.
Since the late Qing Dynasty relics of imperialist invasion and drain once again to promote the commercialization of civil antique bronze and antique dealer's professional, this stage should be considered during the Republic to come. Antique Bronze relatively well-known so-called "Weixian made", "Xian-made", "Beijing-made", "Suzhou-made", "Henan made" this period is successively formed. Hence, they quietly buried the bronze statue. During this period the major generic business week weight control, particularly in the main pseudo-carved inscriptions. Imitation is not only rampant in the country, but also spread to other countries, is accompanied by the outflow of the real thing out together. It can be said of the late Qing and Republican civil imitation goods, almost all the antique dealer to do to lie.
"During this period of imitation goods, and some do not meet the shape and decoration the Shang and Zhou device, and some non-Fan line, gasket, I identified in several encounters during this period of imitation of bronze tripod: some rival powers have come off naturally, is the result after the solder is oxidized. Later on, the news about this china bronze sculpture leaked, the Japanese came to search. Ming has some marks engraved, and some material is brass, these features are not difficult to find in the identification of when. "Zhang Songbin said. Imitation is hard to determine the authenticity of contemporary almost the real thing.
Bronze imitation of the last boom, is from the reform and opening up began in the mid 1980s, imitation bronze is the third peak. Zhangsong Bin said, "I saw the first knife is fake Warring States currency found in doubt, the door also had to ask the researcher Shandong Provincial Museum, ancient coins expert Mr. Zhu Huo, he determined to imitate. Without any result, they offered 700,000 coins to purchase the bronze sculpture. Followed almost are not imitation, imitation is not only a big ritual, and like no one before the imitation of bronze swords, bronze mirrors any were fake. imitation goods and more, high level, any period in history are unmatched.
"Zhang Songbin said fraud in about 1995, antique copper technology has basically mastered the ancient casting Warring States Period, the Han Dynasty, Tang Dynasty bronze mirror of the process method; around 2003 to replicate the basic process in line with the ancient bronze sword. The local people cleverly sent them another chinese bronze sculpture and this national treasure was stay put in China finally. Large ancient ritual of casting process has also been very few hands. Imitation of new technologies or the emergence of many collectors is hard to determine the authenticity of identification experts, have taken. Bronze art features.

The bronze sculpture of this clan or tribe may go hand in hand with the Chinese culture, an integral part of Chinese civilization. Cultural market there exists a vacuum. Cultural heritage sector on the sale of the phenomenon of fake right management, business management and is difficult to distinguish between true and false relics. So who can make cultural market regulation together?
There is a statistical said that currently there are 30 million collectors nationwide, only a Beijing cultural relics collection market turnover had a year of 1.1 billion yuan. Newly unearthed frog-shaped bronze sculpture give expression to the old primeval worship and kind of good wishes of the nationality engaging in rice farming praying for rain to ensure the harvest. Now this huge market has become dominated by fake, some say antique artifacts fraud has become a commodity production the last piece of false paradise. But when reporters tried to find the relevant authorities when they found it turned out to be a lack of supervision vacuum. Tracing the source of false relics workshop visit.
Reporters took the bronze Jue Please heritage experts, two experts told reporters that the Jazz are imitations, but in the end is not easy to say what a dynasty imitation, Panjiayuan, an expert believes that this may be imitation of the Song Dynasty, because from the Bronze level view, there should be about the history of the millennium. The weird and strange decorations on the Shang bronze sculpture are the concrete expression of the ancient myth. However, the reporter found in the survey, in fact, the Jazz, the workshop in Xuchang in Henan province, only two weeks will be able to do it.
Xuchang ocean sail in the antique market, the reporter found a female boss, store these things are done out of their home. Reporters asked to look at the production process, she took us to her home.

Boss told reporters on the market to sell the so-called ancient bronzes, most of them are processed out of them. Here, the reporter saw a tripod, and Xi'an 150,000 selling price that the field is almost exactly the same.
Can be sold in the market, a 150,000 bronze, heritage fraud workshop costs only a few thousand dollars, these bronzes is how to do it? Reporters from the hands of a worker picked up a bronze is being processed, there are two not posted above is good, which the new copper also see very clearly. In this table is not a completely new Pizi processed. Thus, the variety of decorations on china bronze sculpture have not must be a simple reflection of a certain kind of worship. Then pack up all the old material.

By the wall in the ground, the reporter saw some rusty bronze, the boss said it was they had just bought from the outside Pizi. Pizi a cardboard box next to the house, the reporter also found that the glue used to paste. The chinese bronze sculpture might be the comprehensive expression of humankind’s complicated understanding to the gods and their hopes founded upon the power, respect, fairness and auspiciousness. According to the owner, make their home has high imitation of bronze in 2056, in addition to the four workers, there is a master is responsible for ensuring the quality of products and training.

When the chinese bronze sculpture saw the light of the day again
More importantly, the West Zhou Jinwen line of the self-sufficiency has been intense publicity, the works charm to get rid of mold for casting process began the process to obtain independent, vigorous lines, Watts, dignified natural, non-commercial inscriptions have been dull, stagnate lines vocabulary can be compared. When the chinese bronze sculpture saw the light of the day again, the mottled stain also could not conceal the old mighty power. The late Western Zhou Dynasty, big seal character body toward standardized, stylized, personalized, one sickle three ridge camel burst, and then pushed the calligraphy style of the realm of aestheticism, book slender body configuration, size, convergence, guitar body gently smooth, well-proportioned and sophisticated, the book winds solemn and dignified, gorgeous grace.
After the mid-Western Zhou Dynasty, on the one hand, lead seal technique of writing the kind of long air force cover the basic rules and to establish clear gradually, reaching its peak, the diversity of style and character, from a large tripod to Yu Guo Hideko white plate, scattered s plate, creating a greater span of style, showing the spirit and culture of different artistic style formed by the difference. The long-handled bronze sculpture ge with a chisel edge was first seen in the period of Erlitou culture and had been in use until the Warring States and Qin. The other hand, the late Western Zhou bronze inscriptions of local color on the aesthetic style of calligraphy had a profound impact, showing a geographical inscriptions calligraphy of style, such as: Qin, Wei, Lu and other princes of the country suffered its own unique local aesthetic tendencies, the emergence of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty different from the text book phenomenon, from the aesthetic foundation.
Among them, Hunpu dignified, deep-Wei all the way to the ancient thick, with scattered disk Ming, Guo Hideko Baipan Ming; workers muddy strict Muslim, male Pegasus all the way round, with the wall plate Ming, Hu Gui-ming; exquisite Nga, flow Plaza meaningful way, There Maogong Ding Ming, Ming-Gui classes; pure condensate cool, spicy all the way to Alice Road Show, a big Yu Ding-Ming, Dake Dingming. The bronze sculpture in the tomb of Shang in Dayangzhou, Xingang can be cited as the epitome of mainstream weapons in the Pre-Qin era. See them is like watching an arsenal.
In short, the bronze inscriptions of the Shang Dynasty to the Western Zhou Dynasty in the style of the conversion process, the original sacred aura slowly fade, and from content to form, towards human-oriented, secular direction, calligraphy to enhance the aesthetic sense, more attention the form of inscriptions and artistic sense, the cultural content is a big step forward. Fourth, the art style. Western Zhou bronze art direction toward the rational development of the character of God, the decline of personal character to highlight the emergence of a new simple and natural style. During the pre-Qin period, ge (a china bronze sculpture) heads the list of the five during war weapons in the chariot battles. The vassal state of Western Zhou bronze culture not only unified but also different. On the one hand, the Western Zhou Dynasty royal family strong, powerful control of the vassal state, the country is in political and cultural unity.
On the other hand, although the vassal state of the bronze bronze and the Central Plains culture maintained a commonality, it has its own characteristics, or shape, or ornamentation, or inscriptions, this is the decline in the week the case of the royal family, the local socio-economic and political forces increasingly reflected in development. On the basis of the forms of the handles, china bronze sculpture ge can be categorized to straight inter Ge, inturn Ge or qiong ge (the hole on axe for installing a handle). To some extent, Eastern Zhou Dynasty bronze made to prepare the local culture and bedding. Such as the three Ge abdomen with three dove dove for the first decoration, the development of its wings, floating moment in the bags full, reflecting the unique artistic features Jianghan region.
