The china bronze sculpture mainly reflected

Of course, the Western Zhou Dynasty bronze decoration in the process of evolution, ruled out many of the traditional bronze decorations, these decorations out why it was denied? The producer of the bronze sculpture was manual workers or even slaves. The reason is very simple, it is not suited to the demands of the times these decorations, and do not meet the mystery of the ritual law, so, naturally it will be eliminated. Many of the Western Zhou Dynasty decoration follow this rule, such as the Shang and Western Zhou Dynasty Early Animal Mask and deformation of the decoration, in the Western Zhou Dynasty gradually be eliminated, in the late Western Zhou Dynasty, Animal Mask few, even if there are more in the full Department and some inconspicuous places.
In addition, the Kuilong Shang and Western Zhou Dynasty Bird is rare, largely abandoned, and this is because the Western Zhou period, the object of worship changed, productivity has been further improved, the Western Zhou period, animals who have no opponents, and many people no longer exist in nature animal fear, no longer worship the beast is not to conquer it at least has a deep understanding of the habits, no longer belongs to the object of worship, so that these mysterious animals of the smaller, not to mention is called God, so in the Western Zhou period, real Animal Mask less. If any, is more abstract form. Some decorations on the bronze statue might trace back to the primitive totem and pottery designs
  This is because only the abstract is surreal, is the worship of the people, because people only worship of abstract things. The alternative is a new decoration; of course, the decoration is abstract to the extreme, such as re-ringed, vertical scale pattern, and dragon and so on. The china bronze sculpture mainly reflected, after all, the dignity, strength and will of the dominators in the early slavery society. Of course, there are also some of the more difficult to interpret the ornamentation, such as curved wave pattern in the Western Zhou Dynasty chinese bronze artifacts such as beans and bronze caldron on both the performance curve for this wave pattern and some people think that is an unknown wild animal Of course, we study the wave pattern is still not enough song, but, according to my bronze cemetery Guo Qu Bo on the observed pattern, always feel like the sea waves, or at least a little contact and the sea, because the sea in Zhou is not being recognized and understood.
 The sea is still very mysterious in terms of the Zhou Dynasty, so people will become the object of worship, perhaps the wave pattern itself is not a song from the sea, but appearance, will inevitably be people understand this. In nature, the bronze sculpture was distinct from the mysterious and strange geometric patterns on the pottery. Many of the Western Zhou Dynasty bronze decoration, layout method also appeared in several decoration coexist. Some of the above ornaments stolen song pattern, a triangular pattern and the middle steal song pattern, or the abdomen for the Phoenix Bird dragon, ring foot is stolen song pattern, very complicated, in practice, the main use of the actual situation, aspect, density, etc. parallelism ways in which changes in colorful patterns, but a strong symmetry.
 In addition, the characteristics of the Western Zhou period, there is little ornamentation, which is the application of primary and secondary decoration, that the Western Zhou Dynasty bronze decoration on all types of general, but only one is the main decoration, which is characterized by clear, generally occupy prominent position, and a very large area. This pattern is the prominent representative of bronze sculpture decorations. There are many on the market imitation of the Western Zhou bronzes, but most never get the essence.
