Scientific Value of the Antique bronze sculpture
It is the craftsman’s creation, the ancient to the most outstanding social conditions, the most technologically sophisticated craftsmen, mainly in the capital and the vassal state of the dynasty in Rhyme, their generations, their work there is a certain mode of immobilization, stylized, but because of China’s regional large, the vassal state of tradition and technology are not the same, so the formation of different styles of genres, countries such as the Central Plains bronzes simple and elegant, beautiful and delicate decorative bronze Chu. The major museums around the world are focused on the collection of Chinese bronze sculpture. In addition, the production of bronze has its own peculiarities, such as co-normative, Tao Fan a set of bronze casting in the shape, it has removed broken, no longer re-use, and therefore each person casting a (bronze), equivalent to a creation, it must be cast from the mold to the two processes.
the Freer Museum of United States, British Museum, and Tokyo National Museum in Japan all have specialized collections of chinese bronze sculpture. Because of this reason, it seems there are some bronze look similar, but differences still exist scrutinize, which is obviously a question of personal style, so there are more creative bronze, which can occur each time an outstanding work, they is a remarkable craftsman’s meticulous creation of richer artistic value, three generations of Chinese bronze art has the following characteristics: attention is China’s bronze tuning a principle designed to highlight here that the shape of tuning, including bronze shape, decoration and layout, color, contrast and so on.
The pattern of decoration is another characteristic of Chinese bronzes, it can be said along with the birth of bronze, this tendency has appeared, and nipples triangular pattern pattern may be the earliest bronze decoration, and handle residual Qijia seven-pointed star pattern mirrors are decorated with triangular patterns. They spare no effort to collect bronze statue. There is a feature of Chinese bronze so far not found any portraits, many of the bronze with a surface shaped as a decoration, such as human faces Fang Ding, Yue faces of the people, but these people face is not what a particular person’s face.
More artifacts are people’s overall image, such as the human form of lights and devices to people as a whole seat or as a part of objects, such as the bell stand there with humanoid hands lift up sword beams, copper under several human form of the Foot class, these men and women attendants are mostly humanoid dress, but not a specific portrait of slave servant. In the West, bronze statue is considered as artworks. The characteristics associated with the bronze image of the animal is not the biological reproduction of the majority, but through the art of shaping and the myth of the.
The above mentioned features, so different from other ancient Chinese bronzes bronzes of ancient craft, art history has a special status as a category, no wonder many Chinese and overseas museums, art galleries should be put on display in a prominent Chinese bronze position not only ritual, musical instruments and other large objects, and even some small pieces such as mirrors, hook and the like, are also highly valued. Bronze and Bronze identification of the concept of thinking. The Chinese bronze sculptureis on a par with famous sculptures and oil paintings be collected.
I engaged in archaeological theory and practice of research for several decades, in recent years, especially after the rise of cultural relics collection of hot, many museums and cultural and archaeological circles of colleagues who are keen artifacts, bronzes and inscriptions often asked how to identify and distinguish the true age false, how to read the inscriptions, and so on. china bronze sculpture has a high historical value. From a macro point of view, these problems can be part of the identification of the Bronze and Bronze categories, but also as an enhanced learning and research. The problem is not a small text can be solved, the author of this only to make some brief explanation.
