Demystify Inscriptions of bronze sculpture of Western Zhou (2)
Lai disk is the bronze David the king, beautiful shape, superb casting, magnificent long inscriptions, it is amazing. Some one argues that the design of the bronze sculpture is purely decorative without any religious connotation. In the famous bronze David, the Lai plate inscription of 372 words, as much as its shape beautifully and inscriptions called China’s first set. In Lai plate inscriptions, the first time that the system introduced eight generations of a family inheritance, the first time that records from the King Wen, King Wu Li Wang and Xuan Wang 12 to the king, for the first time in the bronze inscriptions found Xiao Wang.
Surprisingly, found a group of 12 sets of Lai Ding, Chinese archaeological record the most. Even more interesting is the cast in 2043 found that the wrong section of Lai Ding-Ming Wen, 2043 Lai Ding account, Lai because active management swamps, was canonized the royal family rewards of weeks, a total of 314 words. The decoration motifs of the Shang bronze sculpture have a meaning besides from the decorative value. Inscriptions in three sections, the experts were surprised to find that the tripod have chosen to cast the first paragraph of inscriptions and third wrong, the wrong version of a modern stamp collectors are surprised to Fucking, some 2780 years ago, the wrong version of tripod inscriptions would not eye-opener?
Ding also unearthed a ring pattern, the experts found that the inscription carved thousands of years ago has been scraped off, leaving only remnants of some of the text, giving endless conjecture. My teacher insists that the design of ritual china bronze sculpture is ornamental and has nothing to do with religion or mythology. Is tripod pattern is only trophy, or by trading for the owner, or stolen afraid that they scraped the original engraved in mind, left us an eternal mystery.
He called the early Western Zhou bronze statue bronze quality, the experts called the town a national treasure. Without trying to interpret the actual meaning of the taotie and other chinese bronze sculpture found, I would like to concentrate on the issue whether these ornaments of the bronze sculpture have any meaning. What respect is the early Western Zhou slave-owning aristocracy, what of a luxurious and elegant cast bronze wine vessel. Cast in the Zhou king five years, the statue at the end of a 122 word inscriptions, chronicles the behest of King Wu of Zhou Wang Jicheng, Dong Zhou in Luoyang are built into the history, confirms the Historical Records contained in the construction Luo Yi (Henan Luoyang) and facts, research by experts, the inscriptions of the China is the earliest discovered the word China title.
Off power providers to build the Western Zhou Dynasty, due to the remnants of the Shang Dynasty slave -owning aristocracy still exists, and with the East Nanyi joint, a big threat to the Western Zhou Dynasty. Whether bronze sculpture are related to mythological and religious tradition is not sure yet. To consolidate the Western Zhou government, King Wu Yi Luo developed a major construction initiatives. From the inscriptions we can see, King Wu initial construction the new capital, is essential for the consolidation of the Zhou Dynasty, from the history of Luo Yi became the capital of the location of many feudal dynasty.
He respected modeling exquisite, magnificent decoration, there are important historical value, is the first Western Zhou Dynasty china bronze Ming Kee years. By its stern and angular appearance, the design seen on ancient bronze sculpture of China strikes the viewer. where the inscription on the statue, house hereby China, since hereby qe people in China, refers to the provisional capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty into a week, Luo Yi, meaning capital in the world to the center, shows the area in Henan King Wu would like to build capital in order to control the oriental strategic thinking.
