The number of guis is an important indicator of the identity of the tomb owner.
The bronze Gui in the photo album held by Chen Wenzhe has a trumpet-shaped catch handle on the top, and the lid and body of the vessel are decorated with curved patterns and tile patterns.
In addition to tripods and gui, other types of utensils that can appear in the album should also be very precious.
For example, it can be compared to the shape of Qi Houyi. This piece is from the late Spring and Autumn Period and is now collected in the Dahai Museum.
The similar one found by Chen Wenzhe has an oval-shaped body like a ladle, with a wide flow at the front end and a high flow, and a ladle at the back end like a dragon exploring the water.
The four legs of the 匜 are also in the shape of a dragon. The bowed body carries the body of the 匜. It is tall, solemn and extremely stable.
Chen Wenzhe still knows a lot about these famous bronzes, because when he just returned to Dahai City, he accidentally obtained the whereabouts of a national treasure-level tripod.
Therefore, although he was making porcelain later on, he was also paying attention to domestic bronzes.
The reason why so many "Guo Ji" bronzes are mentioned is mainly because as long as they are bronzes found in the "Guo Kingdom" tombs, they are all included in this album.
For example, copper shops are something that most people don't know about, but they are found in many large tombs.
Bronze futons are a new type of vessel that appeared in small quantities in the late Western Zhou Dynasty. As long as the tombs have not been robbed, at least one of them will be missing from every prince's tomb.
The middle part of the belly is decorated with a double curved Kui dragon pattern, the upper edge and the circle foot are decorated with a curved pattern, the top of the lid is decorated with a conjoined Pan Kui pattern on the bottom.
Even if we try to compare some of the bird patterns, we cannot deduce the specific process of their evolution into Tao Minxu.
Bronze hairpins occupy a very important position in the bronze ritual vessels.
Because it was used to hold rice beams during sacrifices, it was called "sacrificial rice-holding utensils".
The shape of the lid is the same as that of the utensil. When closed, it becomes the lid of the utensil, and when opened, it becomes the same two utensils.
However, it has not completely gotten rid of the rudimentary form of straight lines, thus forming the characteristics that there is no circle in the straight line and no square in the circle.
Gui is a round vessel used to hold food in ancient times, and Gui is a square food vessel.
The traces of the Qiqu pattern derived from bird patterns and dragon patterns are very obvious.
By the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the legs of the fun gradually became lower and the vessel deeper, which is a characteristic of the dynasty.
The wall of the vessel is decorated with an elephant trunk scrolled body and Kui dragon pattern, and the circle foot is decorated with a curved pattern.
It is also more difficult to date those copper bridles, mainly because they are difficult to identify.
The earlier bird pattern is on the front of the wings, connected to a long tail.
"The Rites of Zhou·Sheren": "All sacrifices are made together."
For example, the Tongpu, whose name is "Fu" Pu, is a food vessel, and its shape is similar to that of a plated and handled bean, which is also a food vessel.
The basic shape of the 簠 is a rectangular vessel. The lid and the body of the vessel are of the same shape. They are the same size and size. They are symmetrical from bottom to top. When combined, they form one vessel, and when divided, they form two vessels.
The main reason is that there are many records about that type of bronze futon, and few are unearthed.
The tail separated from the body and became a curling abstract pattern.
Of course, large tombs must not have been robbed. The reason why few bronze vessels are unearthed from many large tombs is not that they were not buried at that time, but that they were robbed and excavated.
As early as 4000 years ago, your country's copper smelting technology was already quite sophisticated.
For example, if the vessels without Chilong, Panlong or Kui dragon patterns were not unearthed from the tombs of princes, each piece would be very precious.
Before the middle of the Western Zhou Dynasty, it gradually became abstract and formed a new dominant pattern, which was known as the Taoqu pattern.
Furthermore, the bird's body part has also been abstracted, but it retains the original long feather.
Seriously speaking, it was just a utensil used by the ancients to hold rice beams, and its purpose was equivalent to that of a plate in previous lives.
Fu was only popular in the middle of the Zhou Dynasty, and gradually declined and improved before the Warring States Period.
The purpose of the bronze 簋 is similar to that of the 簋, it is a food vessel.
The characteristics of the early fu are that the feet are short and the mouth is turned inwards;
There are only a few pieces that have been preserved in relatively bad condition, such as a copper hairpin with a curved pattern from the late Western Zhou Dynasty.
Of course, if the smallest item is a copper phoenix, then it is also a food utensil.
It is a kind of ripple, or dragon pattern.
The Zhou Dynasty broke the straight-line-based decorative features since the Shang Dynasty, and also broke the symmetrical format.
If only that kind of copper hairpin could only be one piece.
It is also more difficult to date it outside, not because of the curved lines.
Therefore, the number of bronze hairpins that Min Xuhai saw was relatively small.
If the copper hats in the photos that Chen Wenzhe saw were early works, they would be too unrecognizable.
Its name is also based on "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals": "Zhou Ding did not steal the music. It was very long in shape and had curves both at the bottom and above, which shows its extreme defeat."
The cover has the same shape and decoration as the vessel. Together they are one vessel, but separately they are two pieces.
The outer wall of the plate is decorated with a circle of hooked thunder patterns, and there is also a protruding heavy ring pattern between the two patterns.
Maybe he didn't, but you didn't, and that would be a disgrace to the royal family?
The copper hat behind the eye is flat along the sloping wall, with a lower square ring foot, no arc-shaped gap in the middle of the ring foot, and an animal head and half ring of ears on each side;
After all, it is a ritual vessel of the same level as the Gui. According to ancient regulations, as long as it is within reach, it can be used for burial.
Under the famous Xiaoke tripod, there are no curved patterns.
If there are only a few people who know that, maybe not many people have seen the small Keding, but many people don’t know what the decorations under it are and what their names are. The qi is a vessel for holding grains, with a small lid on the top. It is decorated with protruding curved patterns, and the lid rim, mouth and ring foot are also decorated with Minxu patterns, and the rest are decorated with tile ribs.
In particular, the flat and long patterns are formed by hooked or ""-shaped lines at both ends, and the middle is often filled with eye-shaped patterns.
Like another piece, the shape and decoration of the vessel and lid are exactly the same.
Obviously, any of the broken ancient tombs of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties should not contain that type of artifact.
It is a kind of deformed animal pattern that adapts to the requirements of decorative parts, which is the simplification and abstraction of animals.
In particular, the vessels are all rectangular in shape, with the mouth facing inwards, two ears under the lid, and seven short legs under the lid.
The abdominal wall is obliquely straight, there are no animal heads and ears on both sides of the abdomen, it is rectangular with round feet, and the center of the seven sides is intact.
"Lisulan" records that the basic feature of the Taoqu pattern is a horizontal shape, which is consistent with the characteristics of "both the bottom and the top are curved".
At the front, the feather also disappeared, forming a typical crooked pattern.
In the Shang Dynasty and the Qin and Han Dynasties, there were many examples.
It is an important part of the study of bronze culture. The study of bronze bonnets is still relatively weak, and there is no specific treatise so far.
The abdomen is decorated with eight groups of long-nosed dragon patterns, one of which hangs down from the front and resembles the crown pattern of a phoenix bird.
The Yin and Zhou dynasties were the heyday of bronze ware.
Weapons, daily necessities and decorations during this period were mainly made of bronze.
It is no longer a copper 簠, but a 簠 is a square utensil used to hold millet, millet, sorghum, rice and other meals during sacrifices and banquets in ancient China.
It ended up appearing in the early Western Zhou Dynasty, flourished slightly during the Spring and Autumn Period, ended its decline during the Warring States Period, and completely disappeared during the Qin and Han Dynasties.
There is no copper cup yet, and there is no inscription inside the copper cup.
However, compared to that kind of utensil, the body of the utensil is relatively short, the cross-section is oval and octagonal, and the hoofs and feet are short and thick.
