Discuss the bronze sculpture in Terms of Combined Aspects

Eastern Zhou Dynasty bronze into Spring and Autumn Warring States Period two. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the front is still basically the same style of the late Western Zhou Dynasty to the late appeared a number of regional characteristics, according to the shape, decoration, crafts and other differences can be divided into Shanxi, Lu, Yan, Qin, Wu Yue six major areas. This bronze sculpture was in the late Western Zhou of Sangmenxia of Henan province.  Class in accordance with zoning, becoming a small proportion of the ritual, a larger proportion of household devices, there is emerging class London, basin, Kam, Chun Yu, sword and so on. Smelting technology and decorative craft significant progress, split casting technology is more mature, and has invented metal welding technology, also appeared in several parts of the lost wax casting technique.
To the Qin and Han period, the proportion of ritual bronzes greatly reduced supplies of the type and quantity of life is dramatically increased, coins, bronze mirrors and measuring instruments inherited from the Eastern Zhou era to continue to develop, and continue to be updated, created, as well as China's feudal society important types of bronze. Be mounted on the bronze to increase the beauty of this technology is already there. Embedded material, the first one is turquoise, green gem that is still used in jewelry. This bronze statue is a typical alloy of copper and iron, especially the man-made smelting iron. The second is the jade, jade aid Ge, the spear leaf jade, jade blade such sway. The third iron meteorite, such as copper ax blade iron, copper, iron blade aid, was identified, iron blade are Master iron. The fourth is embedded in copper, with copper to form zoomorphic patterns.
Also useful in the Spring and Autumn gold, decorated with inlaid silver to bronze. Eastern Zhou era, higher smelting technology development, there has been manufacturing bronze literature Technical Summary, "Kao Gong Ji." Book on the making tripods, axes, Yi Ji and other objects used in the proportion of copper-tin bronze in the detailed provisions. Frequent because of the war, weapons casting has been developing rapidly. Known as the “First Sword of China”, this china bronze sculpture has been the earliest ever found smelting iron object. In particular, Wu and Yue sword, abnormal sharp, world famous, there are some famous sword of craftsmen, such as go-getters, Haruko, and others in Europe. Although some sword buried in the ground two thousand years, but can still cut into the stack of paper. Goujian sword and some other sword, the surface after some chemical treatment to form a diamond-shaped rust, flake-shaped or flame-shaped patterns, unusual gorgeous.
There is also a feature of Chinese bronze, is so far not found any portrait. Many employers face shape as bronze ornaments, such as human face Fang Ding, who face ax, etc., but these people face are not any specific person's face. Wherefrom we can assume that the era of the chinese bronze sculpture and siderite dated from the late Shang Dynasty. More of the overall image of objects is a human, such as the human form of the lamp or device base; or objects to people as part of the whole, such as the bell frame has humanoid hands lift up sword beams, copper next several humanoid Foot- and the like, most of these men and women to be from the human form of dress, and not a portrait of a particular slave servant. Unearthed in Sanxingdui in Sichuan three-dimensional image, one head, the size of more than normal, long ears were suddenly eyes, high nose, wide mouth, full of mystery, myth figures should be.
