When people are their attention to recovery of these fragments can also, when Jia Wenzhong has made a unexpected requirements quickly clean debris tripod. Due to its huge and heavy body and gorgeous and ornate decorations, this bronze sculpture is so precious. As the bronzes unearthed when not in a timely manner, the hardened sand to clean up the work more complex. Soaked in solution bronze, will rust through mechanical processes and chemical rust, bronze sheen can be renewed.

Cleaning, repairing bronze art in the first part, this seemingly simple step is the bright future of bronze, the only way to reveal the truth. However, all archaeologists are more looking forward to is when the surface is clean up after the bronze, another possible, that is the bronze tripod on whether there will be precious inscriptions. Bronze inscriptions, also known as Jin or Zhongding Wen. Early Shang bronze inscriptions has been sporadic.

The bronze sculpture made great conurbations to the splendid ancient civilization. Although the significance of the decoration is still controversial in academic circles today, but its smooth lines, but as the Shang dynasty bronzes hunting li witness the beauty, so that animism in plain view of the world with the most intuitive display.
However, not only decoration on the bronze taotie, ever-changing decoration how to accurately fill with it? The impressive Si Mu Wu Ding and the exquisite Four Sheep Square Zun are the great masterpieces of bronze sculpture. Bronze restoration artists learned to copy the form of bronze, and eventually developed into a more ornamental and artistic forms full-width extension.
