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.
