The Chenzhang Pot, a hollow bronze vessel of the copper pot series, is composed of 19 structures.
The main components are the pot body, ring foot, hollow grid, hoop, ring, paving head, standing beast and other accessories that are combined into important parts of the copper pot.
With the even placement of these objects, there is no dull feeling at all, and every item is properly distributed on it.
The patterns in these hollow bronze vessels are mostly symbols of the beauty of nature.
For example, some plum blossoms and dragon patterns.
These are works of art that originate from life but are higher than life. Their meanings are truly carved on the transparent bronze vessels.
In addition to showing the static state of objects in the transparent bronze ware, there are also some dynamic pictures that use the transparent parting surface to show the dynamic pictures.
There is stillness and movement, up and down, and the beautiful things in life are displayed in an orderly manner in the transparent patterns.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, due to the emphasis on hollow bronze ware, mechanical assembly technology was also applied to bronze ware.
Still in the casting of Chen Zhang's pot, it can be concluded from the observation of its surface that the copper dragon grid, 4 holding rings, 4 paving heads, 4 hoops and 4
Standing beasts, etc.
At the junction of the shoulder and belly copper dragon grids, 4 joints in total, 8 in total, are designed and cast, and 4 paving heads are connected into one body through band casting and welding.
Its wonderful and elaborate design lies in the joint between the shoulders and the copper dragon grid on the belly, which is covered by four hoops, making people feel that the shoulders and belly of the pot are integrated.
In the casting of Chenzhang teapot, the inner structure is connected more seamlessly through the use of mechanical assembly technology.
Therefore, among the hollow bronze wares of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Chen Zhang teapot is the most representative hollow bronze ware.
It almost combines all the exquisite technology in hollow bronze with exquisite appearance.
The workmanship of bronze wares, from simple to complex, can also be reflected in the patterns of hollow bronze wares.
In the hollow bronze wares, what started as a simple pattern eventually evolved into a variety of patterns.
Some of the hollow bronze vessels are also engraved.
Among the engraved bronzes, the earliest engraved phenomenon was discovered in the bronze round-necked jade found at the Jinsha site in Sichuan.
Then, fragments of a copper plate were discovered in a late Spring and Autumn Period tomb in Chengqiao, Liuhe, Sujiang.
Through these simple hollow bronze vessels, you can see a large number of exquisite carvings.
It can be seen that the engraving technology in the hollow bronze ware is also very exquisite.
I saw more than 20 carved inscriptions on the Chenzhang Pot. These simple inscriptions explain the origin and usage of the Chenzhang Pot.
In short, the arrival of hollow bronze wares in the Bronze Age was fundamentally a result of social changes that brought about innovations in bronze technology.
In the pre-Qin Dynasty, it was the beginning of the development of the prototype of hollow bronze wares, and the development came step by step.
During the Chu State, innovations in form and structure were mainly based on the original bronze vessels.
Finally, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the appearance and internal structure of hollow bronze vessels were perfectly combined with design innovations.
These are the development processes of bronze. These periods in our country have brought the development of bronze to a new peak.
These characteristic bronzes are products of history, and even now, they are worthy of understanding and learning by each of us.
Even Chen Wenzhe, if he hadn't paid attention to everything and was knowledgeable, it would be impossible for him to understand the hollow craft.
Not to mention that the hollowing process can play such a big role in bronze ware.
And it was only now that he truly understood the difference between openwork carving and hollow carving.
Openwork carving and openwork carving still have different characteristics.
Many people think that hollow carving and openwork carving have the same techniques, but in fact they have their own characteristics.
Hollow carving is a form of sculpture, also called hollow carving.
That is to say, the parts of the material that do not express the object image are hollowed out, and the parts that can express the object image are left.
Openwork carving is a technique developed in round carving. It is a carving technique that expresses the three-dimensional spatial levels of objects. It is developed from traditional carving techniques.
Ancient masons often carved dragons with stone balls in their mouths. The dragon balls were peeled off the original stone and were larger than the dragon's mouth. They rolled in the dragon's mouth without slipping out.
This kind of "bead" moving in the dragon button stone seal is the simplest hollow carving.
Then there is openwork. In carvings, retaining the protruding part of the image and partially hollowing out the back part is called openwork.
The similarities and differences between openwork carving, openwork carving, and chain carving are that all three are penetrating, but the back of the openwork carving is mostly expressed in the form of a screen, which can be divided into single-sided openwork carving and double-sided openwork carving.
Single-sided openwork carving only carves the front side, while double-sided openwork carving carves both the front and the back.
Regardless of single-sided openwork carving or double-sided openwork carving, they are essentially different from openwork carving and chain carving.
That is hollow carving and chain carving, which are all 360-degree carvings, not front or back.
Therefore, openwork carving and chain carving are round carving techniques, while openwork carving is an extension of relief carving technique.
In the carving process, hollowing is naturally used more than open carving. Even fruit carvings and flour carvings also use this carving technique extensively.
Hollow core carving is also a type of hollowing technique.
There are even hollow core carvings carved by folk artists. They cleverly use the texture on the plant core and imitate the shape to create vivid and interesting objective images.
Plant fruit cores generally have the characteristics of small size, irregular texture, and thin and brittle skin.
The stone carving artists use the irregular texture of the fruit stone to make the works clear, clear, and focused on the theme, whether they are figures, pavilions, birds, animals, insects, or fish, all of which are vivid and interesting.
The carving of hollow core carving is the most critical stage of creation.
The author's skill in applying the knife, the processing of lines and surfaces, and the changes in various modeling methods must all be subject to the needs of the theme and content, so that the idea, shape, and knife can be organically integrated.
At the same time, we make flexible use of knife techniques such as punching, scribing, cutting, and scraping, as well as expression methods such as relief and openwork, as well as the rich connotation of oriental artistic language.
Exquisite and meticulous, exquisite and clear artistic effect.
Only in this way can the work produce musical rhythm and appeal, and become a treasure.
Such hollow carvings are also very good on bronzes. However, compared with the scarcity of hollow carvings, bronzes using hollow craftsmanship are naturally more precious.
Such bronze mirrors are also more complicated to make, such as the Warring States Period open-carved composite mirror with dragon patterns.
Among the wide variety of exquisitely cast bronze mirrors of the Warring States Period, the hollow composite mirror has become the leader among the Warring States Period mirrors due to its unique shape, magnificent patterns, exquisite casting technology and superb composite craftsmanship.
The so-called composite mirror means that the mirror surface and the mirror back are cast separately and then synthesized.
Such mirrors are more difficult to make, and the ones that have been handed down to this day are even rarer, so they are even more precious.
