Briefly Analyze the Decoration and Inscription of the bronze sculpture

The decoration layer pattern is more narrow and convex, often Kui dragons, space fill a paper thin. Three patterns of raised decoration on the objects, next to the concave space filled a paper thin, which is three-pattern characteristics. The Han Dynasty carries forward and keep developing the bronze sculpture. Three patterns of bronze, and more are from the ridge, such as the business side tripod, surrounded by taotie, mouth under Kui Wen, Ding gluttonous belly surface pattern, the middle from the ridge, the four corners from the ridge, ridge lines have Huokou. Shang Bronze features a lot of the belly is a prime pattern, the pattern and the grass edge is Kui dragons, or raised to the human face patterns, as well as wild animal, angular leaf pattern, cicada patterns, owl pattern, etc. Features Han Han Dynasty bronze bronze many of which are prime pattern, most or casting, but also some patterns, inscriptions, carved with a chisel. Such as the Han Dynasty gilt cup, Lian, boxes, bowls and other utensils on the pattern, mostly sculpture.
Another feature of the Shang Dynasty bronze pattern is the end of the vagina deep level, the pattern is very strong rule. The early Shang Dynasty bronze pattern more rough and plain, mostly eggshell bronze. Mid-parent model casting seamless, pattern is very detailed, fine-grain fill in the blank back, some as thin as a mane. Sesame seeds large space, but also fill a small little thin rectangular or square pattern back. The bronze statue entered into the zenith of the decorations development in the early Zhou and late Shang Dynasty. Another characteristic of the Shang Dynasty bronze: radius, wine container, Gui, pots, etc., full of mostly flat, and there is convex textured, textured combination of diamond. Shang bronzes are copper nails on many, this is after casting objects, fill holes with copper water formed. Shang Dynasty bronze casting method is also useful points, but less.
If objects on the ear, beast, can be a good cast, respectively, and then cast on the device die, the body of copper in the water casting device will be connected with the device body as a whole. In the Shang Dynasty has not yet large and small welding, brazing copper to (ie, large welding) is only after the Warring States Period. The development of the china bronze sculpture is inseparable from the social and historical background in those days. Characteristics of the Zhou dynasty bronzes from the Zhou Dynasty bronze casting process point of view, than the Shang dynasty bronzes rough, with more inscriptions, such as the white son of Zhou Guo quarter plate, part beast, flat rough pattern, up to hundreds of inscriptions the word . Yu Ding, belly is of prime pattern, mouth under the Animal Mask, Kui Wen, inscriptions of more than two hundred words. In addition, copper Gui, beans, etc., mostly rough pattern, inscriptions twenty-three cross the list goes on.
Features Spring and Autumn Period Warring States Bronze Western Zhou bronze bronze with similar, but the evolutionary pattern has evolved, there has been corrugated pattern, fish-scale pattern, snakes, climbing wild animal, and so on. In other words, regardless of the changes of dynasties, the production of the chinese bronze sculpture hasn’t changed. Spring and Autumn Warring States period and early Bronze similar, but in the latter part is quite different. Warring States period, our ancestors have mastered the gilt and silver inlaid technology and skills, at this time of bronze objects found in the right spin on the work, rivets, drill traces, but also with patterns and inscriptions carved chisel marks. From the ancient bronze casting patterns, inscriptions point of view, the turn of the dynasty artifacts have a significant inheritance, but by the late, gradually parted ways.
