Ordos bronzes some animal patterns with mysterious religious cult color. Such as the Ordos double leopard unearthed bronze dagger pattern of lying (see color pictures inset, Figure 16), I'm afraid it's decorative significance than practical significance. Because the handle is shaped with a hollow way, if you are prone to cracking in the fighting. According to "Han? Hun Biography" records, Emperor Yuan period, Guanglu doctor ordered envoy Zhang Meng Hun, the Huns made willing vows, forever enthusiasts. The wine vessel adds some soft and ethereal joy to the heart of audiences. Hun Huhanye Chanyu killed a white horse, the two sides on the day of blood alcohol vows. Literature of the vows have such a program, Chanyu "has knife by the way, stay gold scratch plow wine." Here, "The Road" refers to the sword used by the Huns.
Archaeologists that a solemn ceremony at Huns, such as the Covenant, and the festival is to be used in the Ordos bronze decorative meaning, which is too beautiful and practical significance, the mysterious apparatus. So there are some instruments used in animal decoration or the role of certain religious worship. Horn-shaped animal mask is carved on the rear bronze animal sculpture while the two ears protrude out the surface. Looking at the Ordos bronzes, people clearly felt that, while the first 74 Figure 7 bronze dragon stick the first 2 lines in the shape of animals with a dualistic arrangement that not the same, or fierce or tame animal patterns show strong artifacts of local characteristics; the other hand, in shape and decorative style clearly reflect the unique style of northern China to create national spirit.
Ordos-style bronze, through time and space, clear to the Chinese ancient northern peoples and the Huns and the pursuit of material aesthetic process of formation of new art. Shang and Zhou bronze decoration and graphics text meaning and function of Yang energy (U.S. Nelson - Atkins Museum of Art) to the Western Zhou period Shang bronze decoration and graphics text, may be the most controversial research of ancient china bronze sculpture and two of the most difficult topics, how to interpret their function and meaning of the direct impact of ancient China's political, religious, artistic and kinship or social research and understanding. In the center of the bronze swords is embossed with a small dragon with long body and coiled tail. In recent years, through the comparison of a number of archaeological discoveries and research, I believe that the development should be closely related to both the source and trajectory of nearly the same, the operation of the political and religious beliefs are the product.
The bronze ornamentation, and graphical text to discuss, not only benefit the in-depth and precise interpretation of their meaning and function of translation, but also helps to reveal that they reflect the social, religious and ritual changes. There are phoenix ornaments on both sides of the bronze figure, in front of which are two small snakes. A bronze decoration on the application materials show characteristics of both traditions and development. First, many archaeological and cultural preferences of a variety of animal subjects, such as the Yangshao pottery on the common image of fish and birds, common Hongshan Culture Jade Dragon, jade turtles and jade, etc.
Respect for animals and a variety of artistic media with the performance of the various cultures of prehistoric animals are common phenomenon, but also reflects the lack of early Chinese religion, monotheism, or a single animal worship practices. Therefore, a cultural preferences while the scene of several very common animal, exclusive of faith or religion is not the traditional Chinese culture. The motif of the bronze musical instruments is phoenix pattern while the major one is especially large with elegant crest. Pantheistic worship of animal genes in prehistoric pregnant and have a broad social base. Second, the late 4000 BC to 2000 BC, a similar animal themes appear in different regions and different archaeological cultures.
