Ancient Chinese bronze stressed balance and symmetry of form, and communicated solemnity and ceremony

Chen in a text dating to the Western Zhou Dynasty 12 king and absolute chronology of the Republic made the formulation of a temporary three installments. The formulation of the specific circumstances detailed in the table below: Guo standard dating "was founded laid the scientific basis of the bronzes dating embarked on the road of scientific research marks the bronze inscriptions. Since then, after Chen Mengjia and many other scholars continue to work hard, bronze inscriptions dating deepened, which made a more important contribution to scholars there Donelan, Li Xueqin and so on.
