The emergence of the Chinese Bronze Age _ figurine skills

Core tip: before China entered the Bronze Age, there is a long process of technology and the accumulation of experience. In the banpo and xi 'an ginger village yangshao culture sites, found the component is not pure brass plates. Yangshao before China entered the Bronze Age, there is a long process technology and the accumulation of experience. In the banpo and xi 'an ginger village yangshao culture sites, found the component is not pure brass plates. Yangshao culture about six thousand years ago. For the discovery, archaeology had controversy. But similarly, SanLiHe glue county in shandong longshan culture sites, also have been excavated in the two pieces of copper taper, according to the analysis, as the copper zinc alloy, the scientific experiments showed that this region of copper and zinc or copper lead zinc GongShengKuang, special method with a simple, namely can smelting brass. Because of the different content of copper, early is not necessarily the pure copper smelting. Because of pure copper melting metal liquid viscosity is very big and difficult to casting a big container, which is with copper tin alloy casting container, namely tin bronze. Liquid tin bronze good liquidity, finished product luster is also beautiful, corrosion resistance greatly better than that of copper. Around two thousand BC, the Chinese into the early Bronze Age, bronze, copper, brass as raw material, combining casting hot and cold forging. Such as: SanLiHe glue county in shandong longshan culture relics unearthed copper zinc alloy in the cone, is an example. In your mountain, henan longshan culture sites 2 period unearthed in the residual copper smelting furnace, solidification of copper liquid of ninety-five percent copper. No earlier than the 2nd phase of mountain culture s tao temple of longshan culture. In gansu, qinghai region tombs in terms of culture, many discovered bronze or copper production tools and accessories. Such as knives, axes, chisel, Bi items. Own culture have bronze handicrafts. All these culture found in bronze ware, only have a container in the longshan culture. Now found that erlitou culture period of bronze ware is the third stage, more but from casting technology already quite mature bronzes unearthed, early in the summer of casting technology has reached a considerable level, and should not is the original state. In spite of the third phase of erlitou bronzes have different versions of summer and early shang, but even the early commercial judgment, in terms of bronze ware is still in the summer of the boundary, the difference this time doesn't mean in the same area in foundry technology also has the corresponding difference. The overall condition of erlitou culture and the shang dynasty in the two cultures have in common, also has the obvious differences, the difference is greater than the similarities. Erlitou culture is xia culture point of view, has a certain basis. Liberaty to erlitou culture is xia culture, with the casting of copper industry has been established history is consistent. The Bronze Age from about ErQian years BC to form, the xia, shang and western zhou dynasty and spring and autumn period through the 15 century. In the early late shang and western zhou dynasty, as a symbol of development of productive forces of bronze metallurgy industry peak, at the time of the Asian continent, bronze art produced by chow bronze metallurgy industry, is a dazzling pearl. Late spring and autumn is the beginning of the iron age, however, the arrival of the iron age did not cause the decline of bronze industry, on the contrary, due to the general improvement of production technologies of the warring states period, bronze casting technology also has a new development. Roughly in the late warring states period, a high level of bronze casting industry because of the rapid development of iron smelting industry, in turn, completed the mission given by the history, but in some special products, continue to play its role. Such as the han dynasty bronze casting process, still often present a beautiful light.
