The occurrence of Chinese bronzes is probably 1000 to 2000 years later than the West. The origin of Chinese bronzes is still a mystery and a subject to be explored. Why can Chinese bronzes reach such a peak in the Bronze Age? The investigation found that the bronze and its function are inseparable. The function of ancient Chinese bronze wares, in the words of Zuo Zhuan, is the eight-character "the great thing of the country, in the hustle and bustle."
Before the advent of bronze, weapons were mainly stone and wood tools, and the effect of such a battle was imaginable. Therefore, after the material of copper was discovered and mastered, it was taken for granted as a weapon. Because of this function, bronzes have been given a very high degree of art form. In China, in the early days, before the arrival of the Bronze Age, there were some forgings. But the Bronze Age, basically cast, its status is absolute. The development of Chinese bronzes, in fact, we say that from the birth of the 4th century BC to the 3rd century BC, the arrival of its Bronze Age, in fact, has been used until the 20th century, until our last emperor was driven out of the Forbidden City. At that time, before this, the Forbidden City continued to manufacture traditional Chinese bronzes.
After the Song Dynasty, there were two important innovations related to the bronze industry: one was the appearance of copper, which was copper-nickel alloy; the other was that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the zinc-making technology broke through. In this way, the Bronze Age basically shifted to the brass era.
The development of Chinese bronzes is inseparable from people's understanding and concern about bronzes, inheriting and promoting bronze culture.
