The bronze statue became a symbol f the nine states at that time

From handicraft, in this stage we have (a) well-developed pottery techniques. If you have been to Banpo, visited Majiayao to read it, then China's pottery technique is superb. In Daxi culture, then white pottery has been to use. Ceramic technology to provide a high-temperature metallurgy, but also provides a reducing atmosphere, is the metallurgy of these two important conditions necessary for the occurrence. A legend written in the ancient literature named the emperor of Yu cast nine bronze sculpture. Another parallel and ceramics handicraft technology is Caiyu and polish jade, jade is the jade collection and processing. Jade is a very unique Chinese culture inside a tradition in Western culture, this is extremely rare inside.
 In addition to the discovery of a small amount of Iranian suits. Jade, in fact, the concept of jade in China, inside, a lot of things that is mine, so long Caiyu copper mining practice will provide a technical background. In such circumstances, we now found sporadically century BC, five thousand relics have artificial Yetong appearance. So the bronze statue became a symbol f the nine states at that time. But its appearance is rather strange. This one is left in Shaanxi Lintong Jiangzhai found a brass sheet, brass content reached 28%. We know it is difficult to smelt brass metal, inside the other civilizations in the world, but also rare, but it did, for example in Palestine, 2000 BC, also found brass products. To the Roman period, the brass is very common material used to cast coins.
 But the brass so early is very confusing indeed. And this film also unearthed the brass upper right corner of this length is yellow brass, now broken into two parts, and it's reached the 32% zinc. The lower right corner is a china bronze knife, in Gansu Dongxiang Lin Majiayao culture found inside, it's about 3500 BC, which is a bronze sword, with 7% tin, together with two-Fan cast out, we know this is a relatively early Yetong relics. In the meantime, the bronze sculpture was on behalf of royalty.  Another one is in Liaoning Jianping Liang cattle together when the Hongshan culture found a red copper rings. To four thousand BC when the discipline, has been the rise of the Longshan culture, this time in Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi more Yetong relics found. Technically speaking, this phase is parallel casting and forging, copper and bronze in parallel.
Both red and bronze was a bronze, bronze is the alloy content inside its tin content is relatively low. Can now make more certain the inference, is China's century BC, three thousand of the late Bronze Age has arrived. From this story, we can recognize the highness of the position of the chinese bronze sculpture. Thus, the arrival of Bronze Age China and the West is not the same, the West is the emergence of bronze tools, bronze weapons emerged as a symbol, while in China, my understanding should be based on the appearance of bronze ritual as a symbol. If we look at its history since then, the Chinese bronze ritual bronze industrial core.
We know that China mainly occur in the copper, there are three important occurrence period. There is assigned one of the biggest Yangtze River. In the Shang people had come to the south, has developed a copper mine resources after this, so it was possible to make the Shang Dynasty bronze casting more and more prosperity. It can be said that the collection of bronze sculpture is generated with the emergence of them. Of course, you can cast larger bronze objects. Expansion in the south at this time can be manifested in a series of important discovery in the south and a series of bronzes of the Shang dynasty Chinese city sites. North of the Yangtze River a place called Huangpi Panlongcheng now be transferred to the Wuhan City, found a small town, in this city a lot of tombs found inside, but also found a bronze workshop, now in Panlongcheng found in the early Shang Dynasty bronze bigger than the number of Zhengzhou.
