Chapter 1811 The most precious, Chen Zhangs round pot
The internal structure of hollow bronze vessels is very recurrent and changeable.
For example, the Chenzhang teapot among the hollow bronze ware has three layers in its structure.
The copper stems under the plum blossom pattern inside are intertwined.
Among them, the molds, models, and cores use reasonable interlacing methods to interlace the copper stems in the hollow bronze ware. This process is the characteristic of the copper stems in the hollow bronze ware.
The structures in bronze vessels have become more and more complex over time.
Among them, there are many hollow bronze vessels, which are designed layer by layer.
Different patterns are designed in layers, and each detour is filled with mud cores between the connections of the patterns. These are the characteristics of hollow bronze wares.
The craftsmanship characteristics of hollow bronze ware are naturally very special, and the production technology is not simple.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Zeng Hou Yipan Zun among the hollow bronze vessels is one of the classics.
It consists of 19 variations of Panchi patterns, composed of 12 pattern units.
Based on the comparison of various aspects between Chen Zhanghu and Zeng Hou Yipanzun, it is obvious that Chen Zhanghu is inferior to Zeng Yuanbin Liangzun in terms of simplicity of transparency.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, although there were not many hollow bronze wares, among them, the gold and silver bronze wares were the most precious.
The Warring States Period copper kettle with gold and silver inlaid wire mesh has superb craftsmanship, unique shape, beautiful and natural shape, and exquisite craftsmanship.
This way, each pattern can be independently connected or not.
The dragon opens its mouth with a tongue in its mouth, and two pairs of large teeth are exposed on both sides of its lips, the tips of which are as big as needle points.
Warring States period copper pot with gold and silver inlaid wire mesh, 24 cm in height, 12.8 cm in diameter, 22.2 cm in belly diameter, 13.8 cm in diameter, and weighs 6250 grams.
The net cover is a three-dimensional hollow eight-layer network structure, which is made up of long and undulating dragons, with their heads and tails staggered, intertwined and connected to each other.
The casting process of this copper pot with gold and silver inlay wire mesh during the Warring States Period was so sophisticated that some researchers believe that it could not be achieved by standard casting methods.
Seven gold and silver tiger-shaped handles are welded on the abdomen, with copper rings at the lower end and flowers at the upper end, staggered with the pavement.
The plum blossom nails also have seventy-four rows, four in each row, for a total of 787. The casting process is very simple.
It is a bronze kettle decorated with an eight-layer network of three-dimensional hollow net sleeves composed of long dragons and plum blossom nails.
Zeng Yuan Bin was very familiar with Chen Wenzhe, but I was too unfamiliar with Chen Zhanghu, so I only knew about it.
The curved horn tip is cast into a dragon head.
The reason why it is famous has nothing to do with the production process.
It consists of the body of the instrument and the net sleeves on the shoulders and abdomen.
The pot has an open mouth, a low neck, a round belly, an adducted upper abdomen, a flat bottom, and a round seat.
There are seventy-four dragons in the lower half of the net, each rising and falling eight times.
The gap between the mesh cover and the pot body is only 1 mm, and the diameter of the copper wire of the dragon body is 2.5 mm.
Combine pattern units together according to an orderly combination method.
The body of the pot is fully decorated with gold checkered curling cloud patterns, and is protected by a net cover. The lower half of the net cover is cast and connected to the shoulder of the pot body.
There is no inscription on the rim of this vessel recording the capacity of the pot.
The copper wire mesh cover is made of forty-eight curly dragons and 718 plum blossom nails, which are interlaced and fastened.
The dragon pattern on the belly of the Chen Zhang pot uses 18 plum blossom nails, which are divided into four levels, thus forming hollow spaces that rarely intersect with each other.
Under the horizontal hoop where the two halves of the net cover join, they are also decorated with gold flowing cloud patterns.
There are even some bronze vessels with gems inlaid in the eyes or other patterns, which are even more precious items that penetrate the bronze vessel.
As for Chen Zhang's teapot dragon pattern, each dragon pattern is connected to each other by plum blossom nails.
The neck of the pot and the foot of the ring, as well as the shoulders and belly above the net cover, are decorated with gold and silver diagonal checkered cloud patterns.
It is a wine vessel from the middle period of the Warring States Period. It was unearthed on February 10, 1982 at the South Kiln Village of Mahu Village, Mutian Township, Xuyi County, Sujiang Province. It is now collected in the Jinling Museum.
The lower part is connected to the shoulder of the pot body, and the upper part starts from the rim of the foot ring.
The shoulder and belly of the pot are welded with vertical and horizontal flower branches.
The body of the vessel has an extravagant mouth, a long neck, a round belly and a circle foot.
Not yet, that copper kettle brought the use of the lost wax method to the Warring States Period.
The craftsmanship of that work is simple, and it is even inferior to that of Zeng Marquis Yipan Zun. It cannot even be said that it surpasses it by a small amount in some aspects.
There are also seventy-four long dragons in the upper half, each rising and curling four times.
There are not many hollow bronze objects made of gold and silver, such as the tripod with seven-petal patterns of cirrus clouds made of gold and silver, the cover beans with the pattern of pan beasts made of gold, the sacrificial statue made of gold and silver cloud patterns, the Chen Zhang teapot and other precious bronzes.
Among them, the dragon pattern on the shoulder of Chen Zhangpot is connected with 6 plum blossom nails.
There are also seven alternately arranged general-faced rings and standing animal rings and ears. The standing body is in the shape of a tiger, and the whole body is decorated with gold and silver.
There are seventy-four vertical rows of plum blossom nails, eight in each row, for a total of one hundred and seventy-seven;
The pot base is round, and the flat surface is not hollowed out to match the round pattern.
This is only possible without using the lost wax investment method of precision casting.
The support between them is to rely on the copper stems to keep them firm, thus forming a transparent void.
The inside of the pot body is decorated with a copper wire mesh cover, which is divided into two upper and lower halves.
The flowers are welded under the flower branches, and the bottom of the flower is composed of seven petals and flower core.
It is now conceivable to form a network with such thin copper wires. The total thickness of the eight-layer network is over 16 mm.
A gold and silver copper ring is welded under the flower on the lower abdomen, and seven pavements are welded on the seven sides of the ring.
Things that can be compared with Zeng Hou Yipanzun are naturally complicated.
The most precious one among them is not Yuan Bin's teapot. The neck, body, seven standing beasts, seven rings, seven hoops of Yuan Bin's teapot are all inlaid with gold and silver in the base.
The tiger's body is curved, its head is upward, its mouth is open, its rear and front legs are spread apart, and its claws are grasping the cylinder.
Between those hollow bronze vessels with gold and silver, there is gold and silver underneath the bronze vessels.
The petals are as thin as hair, and there are 718 peach blossoms in full bloom.
Therefore, the Chenzhang teapot is not only an expressive hollow bronze ware, but also a relatively precious bronze ware among the hollow bronze ware. The neck and base of the pot are decorated with gold and silver sheets, and gold and silver wires form geometric patterns.
In the middle of the two corners of the pavement, a round bead is inlaid.
The intersection of the two dragons is connected with plum blossom nails, which penetrate the eight-layer network inside.
That's just the casting method and hollow craftsmanship. In that bronze vessel, gold and silver and inlay craftsmanship were also used.
In the middle of the net cover, there is a copper hoop with gold cloud pattern. Under the hoop, there are seven animal head rings and seven inverted relief beasts. There are gold and silver decorations under the head rings and standing beasts.

The lower part and the upper part are connected to the ampulla, and the connecting part is decorated with a horizontal hoop.
The full name of that pot should be the Warring States Period copper pot with gold and silver inlaid wire mesh, also known as Chen Zhang round pot.
The words "Chen Zhang defeated Yan (Yan)" are engraved on the foot of the circle, which reflects the war between Qi and Yan in 315 AD.
