Heritage appreciation and collection of the classroom, I learned a lot of things, this is one of my engineering students to learn in life are usually not learn. Inscriptions can be thought as the greatest feature of Chinese bronze sculpture. But I, as a engineering student is to be cherished.
Huang Shangming humorous explanations by the teacher and the vivid portrayal of the ancient relics I have some knowledge and understanding, and they produce a unique feeling. By means of offering sacrifices to the ancestors and gods as well as other ceremonial activities, bronze sculpture are helpful to maintain national unity, internal stability. Especially the ancient jade, the teacher took the time to give us a semester to explain the different periods, different cultures of jade, jade display those beautiful but also show the wisdom of the ancient working people, show the profound Chinese culture, made me intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.
As a result of the teacher’s words and deeds, my appreciation and collection of ancient artifacts courses, textbooks and online through the teacher’s information is also on the part of the ancient artifacts – bronze for a certain amount of learning. Moreover, people belonging to different levels whose ritual chinese bronzeoccasions and ceremonial manners are unlike, too. The end of the semester, I would like to show here under my learning outcome. What I list here may be some shallow knowledge about bronze sculpture. Have the opportunity to learn relevant knowledge back to the teacher.
China experienced a major development of bronze Xia, Shang and Zhou three historical periods, height to Shang and Zhou dynasties, bronze style shifted from solemn plain, simple, clean style. The chinese bronze;as the representative of the most advanced technology of metal smelting and casting, is mainly used in the ceremonies, rites and wars. By dignified bronze decoration Animal Mask, Kui rhythmic pattern to steal music pattern, ring bands, and further development of clean coil Chi pattern, patterns and other necessary condition for battles. Ferocious animal decoration on the chinese bronze expressed the ancients’ wishes and realization of the nature. Supernatural magic gradually weakened, until the loss. This decoration of the change is not just because the manufacturing process or caused by raising the level of people’s aesthetic, while improving human productivity and social change there are some links.
The decoration is beautiful dress and language but also the soul of the bronze sculpture of te Shang dynasty. With its wonderful imagination, vivid performance, sophisticated ideas and superb artistic skills, the bronze sculpture become hot at present. As a convention, and abstract symbols, it can convey a wealth of emotion, it was the intersection of the bridge of the soul. These beautiful decorations, bronze itself has become a symbol of the rich cultural implication.
Bronze decoration of pottery decoration and Jade both the shape of succession, but also has significant discarded and development, and marked with the stigma of the times. Thus, the decorations and the inscriptions of the china bronze means a lot to the study on the history. Religious and political factors, led to the bronze at the time seriously than ever before, which makes bronze in the production techniques, in particular the decoration has been rapid development. Ancient Chinese china bronze have a prominent feature that they are widely used in all aspects of aristocratic life. It is in this context, the Shang dynasty bronze vessels in ancient China decoration decoration lends become difficult to match the peak, in turn, affect the subsequent decoration of pottery and jade, and other late-style art.
