About the Mid-period of Chinese Bronze

Han Yang Ling Terracotta figurines inherited this tradition, particularly in the portrayal of the head subtlety "features Zhou Zheng, a pleasant expression," reflects all have different personalities and temperament. Yang Ling animal figurines have the same shape characteristics, such as the shape is more exciting Tau, the narrow width of the next, like ax cheek, kiss, such as conical, angular, eye, such as bells, under the curved mouth, nose Da. Producers simply by Tau, put the kind of cuddly looks full of cattle, durable and stubborn force of character to come clean. Third, the modest exaggeration. Not long ago, the newspapers introduced this new bronze sculpture into us. Exaggeration is the artist most commonly used expression, terracotta figurines and Chinese producers are good at seizing key parts of the modest exaggeration given to emergent themes. We know that the Asians than the flat facial profile, there is little thick eyebrows, if in full accordance with the true brow eyebrow shaping, is bound to calm and mellow, this close look acceptable distance is blurred.

Terracotta producers here use exaggerated way, to increase the thickness of the eyebrows, the brow too angular clear plastic, this way, they then face is displayed. Close look at that carefully, distance features crisp, clear, other shape such as a beard, also used hyperbole, or let Hu Zifei up, or stand up, or tilt, the people do not feel this exaggerated unreal, Instead, highlight the distinctive character of the characters feel. The following inscription on the bronze statue tell the idea of flood control that we used to know. The terracotta figures as exaggerated as appropriate, in the Han Yang Ling figurines are also common. Elephant ears than the eyes of the extension cord to connect, waist, abdomen, stock length is increased accordingly, are very prominent example. As a result, both to avoid the error, as, also received a dramatic character as thrush, described the eye as the artistic effect.

The combination of painted plastic. Qin Terracotta Warriors and Han Yang Ling as the ancient bronze sculpture figurines are painted plastic also has a combination of characteristics. Terracotta today brought to light, was a kind of gray, but many years ago when its buried in the ground color should be very colorful. The number of chinese bronze sculpture for daily life does outdistance the previous. Experts, based on the remnants of painted terracotta pigment analysis, the use of mineral pigments, there are red, red, purple, pink, dark green, light green, purple, blue, yellow, orange, reddish black, and white, the entire terracotta figures produced by china bronze sculpture, fired, painted three large processes to complete. Terracotta painted with Chinese traditional painting style, that is, red and green, bright color, contrast.

Han Yang Ling Terracotta figurines of color is much better preserved than its face, trunk, lower limbs are all orange and red, such as human skin, hair, facial features, beard, black pupil of ocher. About the age of this bronze sculpture, sometimes it is difficult to tell. From the process point of view, Chinese production and terracotta figurines produced basically similar, plastic, painted are all key processes, have been plastic, painted a separate means of artistic expression, their achievements can work, but the two artists skillfully Han combine to form a china bronze sculpture is different from Western China's unique heritage. Some experts have pointed out that the Han Yang Ling get personalized figurines is by "plastic", and give the look is by means of "painted" to achieve.
