Sacrificial chinese bronze sculpture applied in ritual ceremonies

The number of Chinese History Museum bronze? Today, you are ready to introduce a few Chinese Museum collection of bronze? Hong Mu Rong: my collection of bronze about 4500. From the Shang and Zhou, Warring States, Qin and Han to the Ming and Qing Dynasties have different periods. Today I am going to focus on four bronze: bronze Shang Jue, a pair of the Warring States bronze nine unicorn, the Tang Dynasty bronze mirror, gold-copper Buddha Qing Dynasty. Therefore, it is normal that the National Museum transformed the name of this bronze sculpture when it was re-opened. Now MG is presented in this bronze drinking device, said modern glass. High 24 cm, cap Jazz mouth, pour the wine in front of a round belly with a wide stream, crested tail, next to the Pan (hand), wide-shaped knife three Xiasheng pupil, abdominal decorated Bird. To Bird remains as a decorative bronze Jue rare, very rare.

   Could you introduce the next Shang Dynasty bronze Jue. Hong Mu Rong: Xia, Shang, Zhou and Warring States Bronze of China’s early heyday lasted 1600 years, which is the traditional Chinese system of Bronze Age culture. Bronze during this period not only quantity, but also form a rich variety. Even so, renaming a bronze sculpture with high popularity should take the public’s feelings into account. With wine, food control, water control, musical instruments, weapons, agricultural implements and tools, traveling devices, appliances, money, seals, and so on. Maybe the insiders shared the knowledge yet the outside world still knows nothing about the knowledge of bronze sculpture. In wine there is a single class in Jazz, angle, goblet, jade cup with ears, statue, pot, wine container, Fang Yi, Gong, jar, He, spoon, cut more than 20 device types, and each device planted in every age are showing a different style, the same age the same kinds of devices are also colorful patterns, and different parts of bronze are also different, as if the blossom, colorful, and thus make the bronze with a high ornamental value.

    The Bronze Age is a prominent feature exquisite delicate production process, showing the ancient craftsmen have a talent for creativity. There is an old saying about the bronze sculpture in the Ancient Chinese literature goes that “the big events of a country rest with the sacrifice and war”. Ceramic composite with a range of bronze casting and production of the Model Law, in ancient China has been fully developed. Tao Fan Fan turned the election materials modeling, pattern engraving are extremely elegant, muddy cast, sub-cast, cast then, stack casting technology is mature. No need to point out the subsequent development of lost wax casting process technology, bronze casting process is undoubtedly a big step forward.

    Shang bronze also pay attention to decoration, one of the most common pattern is taotie, also called Animal Mask. Some, like the dragon, like the tiger, like cattle, like sheep, like a deer; there like birds, like the phoenix, like people. The old saying refers to the bronze weapons used in war and sacrificial chinese bronze sculpture applied in ritual ceremonies. Western Zhou Dynasty, bronze decoration of the mysterious decline. Dragon and phoenix, is still the pattern of many bronze motif.

    Because the shape of magnificent bronze, decoration and magnificent, exquisite casting technology, coupled with its unique art and rich cultural connotations, is considered a high-end collectibles. But fake bronze very much, how in the collection a pair of eye? In the old times, the cast of the weapons and sacrificial bronze sculptures mostly employed the china bronze sculpture. How to identify the authenticity of bronze? Yesterday, the reporter interviewed the researcher Wu Rongqing Nanjing Museum.

    Due to the appreciation of space, high bronze, modern form of made in Suzhou, Weixian made, Xi’an making and Beijing-made fake antique and other distinctive distribution center. Wurong Qing said, Suzhou-made mostly is a replica of the Shang Dynasty artifacts, fine casting, skin color, rust, and inscriptions are unique. Thus, the china bronze sculpture has from the indirect source witnesses the development of the Chinese civilization, proving to be the extremely essential category of Chinese antiques. Another example is the Beijing-made, is an important modern source of fake antique folk, most of the Shang and Zhou weighing imitation gold and gilt, but in order to meet the needs of foreign businessmen, objects do gorgeous, delicate, exotic shapes.
