"Bronze ware (Bronze Ware) was called" gold "or" lucky gold "in ancient times. it is an alloy of red copper and other chemical elements such as tin and lead, and its copper rust is turquoise. The use of bronzes began in the late Neolithic areas of Turkey and Iraq, as well as bronze beads unearthed from ancient TellRamad sites in Syria. Chinese bronzes began from Majiayao to the Qin and Han dynasties, with the most exquisite objects in the Shang and Zhou dynasties. Small tools or accessories first appeared in China. Bronze containers and weapons began in the Xia Dynasty. In the middle of the Shang Dynasty, the variety of bronze wares was very rich, and inscriptions and fine patterns appeared. From the late Shang Dynasty to the early Western Zhou Dynasty, it was the heyday of bronze ware development, with various types, thick and dignified inscriptions, and luxuriant patterns. Subsequently, the bronze carcass began to become thinner and the decoration was gradually simplified. From the late Spring and Autumn period to the warring States period, due to the promotion and use of iron, copper tools became less and less. During the Qin and Han dynasties, with the introduction of pottery and lacquer ware into daily life, the variety of copper containers decreased, the decoration was simple, most of them were plain, and the carcass was lighter and thinner. Chinese bronzes are beautifully made and enjoy high reputation and artistic value in the world. "
