Warring States is the end of the Bronze Age, the bronze molding technology is the continuation of former model, where only talk about the Warring States bronze decoration production technology. If there was not any china bronze sculpture, the rule would be unable to be implemented. The author of "Fan-cast bronze" is mentioned, the business to the Western Zhou bronze decoration, mostly hand-made in the range of the surface, in order to meet the needs of mass production, the Warring States period the invention of cell decoration Fan fight against technology. Fan fight against the so-called unit decoration technology, is the first to produce a range of specially crafted decoration mold, the mold decoration is a decoration unit. Some units, such as a box mold decoration, who will fill this mold mud box, you can dig out a range of unit decorations.
If you continue to turn, you can dig out many of the same unit decoration range.
