Tire rust is a layer of rust that corrodes from the inside out of ancient coins. In this case, the coin body becomes thicker, and most of them are kept in a closed store without rust removal.
Gilt silver mirrors generally do not need to be rusted. In a few cases, when rust removal is really needed, they can be soaked in 15% glacial acetic acid solution or 10% sulfuric acid solution.
If you find rust on the gilt silver mirror, you can use a brush dipped in 5% trimethyl resin to apply two or three layers, which will seal it.
There are many ways to remove rust. If the rust is relatively light, you can heat it appropriately and use the principle of thermal expansion and contraction to peel off the rust.
The glacial acetic acid soaking method and heating method cannot be used for severely corroded iron coins.
For individual iron mirrors that require special rust removal, the electrochemical reduction method of zinc and caustic soda or the caustic soda electrolysis method can be used.
For more expensive iron mirrors, the hydrogen furnace reduction method can be used.
Chen Wenzhe looked at the bronze mirrors in the museum and learned useful techniques from them.
There are quite a few bronze mirrors from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. In addition to the more classic ones, there are also some that are relatively large in number.
Of course, this number is relatively large.
During the Western Han Dynasty, the continuous arc pattern ring gradually replaced the mirror-style edge of the Warring States Period and became the continuous arc pattern edge, which was an important category in the bronze mirrors of the Western Han Dynasty.
I haven’t mentioned it before. During Wang Mang’s period, all kinds of new things emerged one after another. The science and technology of that period also did not develop very well. Coupled with the appropriate political system, all walks of life were regressing. Even some business activities were not as good as they are now.
.Two birds of grass and leaves can be seen in the space between the nipples, in groups of two, with the two birds on their sides and back.
The bronze mirrors of the Western Han Dynasty continued to develop from the panchi pattern mirrors in the Warring States mirrors. They quickly broke away from the style of the Warring States mirrors and gradually established the characteristics of the Western Han Dynasty bronze mirrors.
Taking a step back, there is an additional ring pattern in the middle of the Pan Chi pattern ring, and seven breast nails appear under the ring pattern.
For example, the fighting animal pattern mirror, whether it is the color or the vivid pattern, will make people fascinated in this era of rigidity.

I often look at the majestic and stingy bronzes, but if I look at the exquisiteness of the bronzes, I may not be able to appreciate them only under a bronze mirror.
Among them, the classic ones are the inscription mirror or the nebula bronze mirror.
It is an eight-string button with mirror-decorated rhombus patterns arranged alternately, and the edge of the mirror is decorated with eleven consecutive arc patterns inwards.
Bronze mirrors of that period had low convex buttons and square button bases. There were patterns inside the button base and a square belt on the inside.
A calm beast-fighting scene, even if the warrior's expression can be described in detail, was not fully expressed through my dynamic figure.

There are seven nipples in the seven corners of the button base, dividing the picture into seven areas.
The edge of the mirror is flat, which has not yet appeared in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. The inner edge of the mirror is lower than the inner edge, and the inner edge is inclined inward. The front edge that forms an octagonal section is the flat mirror edge.
Boundary grids and patterns divide the back of the mirror into seven directions and four areas.
Each is equipped with four round-shaped nipples and auspicious animal patterns.
On the other hand, the bronze mirrors from the Western Han Dynasty can be seen as adding a circle of inscriptions to the Warring States-style patterned round button base.
"Shangfang Yujing" The standard mirror, "Shangfang", is the signature of the official. It was set up by the Qin Dynasty and was responsible for the casting of weapons, bronze mirrors and some ornamental objects used by the royal family.
At the end of the early Western Han Dynasty, it became popular to use continuous arc patterns as decoration, and the edge of this mirror is decorated with eighteen inward continuous arc patterns.
Among them, the inscriptions and the seven-nipple nails can be said to be the main features of the bronze mirrors of the Western Han Dynasty.
That is a change in time, which cannot be seen from the grass-leaf inscription mirrors of the Western Han Dynasty and the grass-leaf and bird-head regular mirrors of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The sides are lowered and the flat pattern becomes thinner, but the eight string buttons, round button seats and thin structure are still retained.
It is round, with a round button and a persimmon stem-shaped button base.
By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the patterns became more three-dimensional, so the characters, carriages and horses were all obviously protruding, and even the mirror buttons were more protruding.
To see the details in those bronze mirrors, you even need to use the macro function of the lens to see them.
By the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, the mirror style was centered on the Seven Breasts and could not develop into the Nebula Mirror, the Inscription Mirror, the Seven Beasts Mirror, the Rule Pattern Mirror and the Seven Gods Mirror of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
The round button base is decorated with a patternless annular band around the button base, and between the plain mirror edge and the button base annular band, there is a plain, patternless continuous arc-shaped band.
One of the classics is the "Shangfang Yujing" regular mirror, which has a diameter of 16.1cm.
By the Eastern Han Dynasty, the seven-cup nail was smaller and raised, becoming a more important structure.
Here, it starts from a very thin and thin Warring States mirror, which gradually becomes thicker and smaller;
In addition to those mirrors without decoration, there are also some bronze mirrors with simple craftsmanship.
The slightly more common bronze mirror should belong to the red lacquer painted mirror of the Warring States Period.
There is no time to be frightened by it, because the dots and lines are connected, very detailed and densely packed, but the lines are murky, but they are absolutely clear.
The main decorative ground pattern is decorated with cloud patterns. This type of cloud pattern is common in jade wares during the Warring States Period.

At that time, it was not possible to turn the seven breasts into seven breasts and one breast.
The rim of the mirror is narrow and flat, and the inside is decorated with a cloud and thunder pattern. Composite traces can be seen between the ribbon and the rim of the mirror.

It cannot be said that the unique artistic aesthetic taste of the ancients is vividly reflected in the mirror.
In the seven-breast mirror of the Western Han Dynasty, a bird or beast was placed between the two breast nails.
Including green dragon, white tiger, red bird, Xuanwu seven divine patterns and auspicious beasts, feathered people, luan birds, etc.
From the Wang Mang period to the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the officially cast "Shangfang" inscribed mirrors became popular in a small amount, and the privately run mirrors with surnames ended to appear.
For example, there is Qinglong on the right, White Tiger on the left, Suzaku on the bottom, Xuanwu on the top, and the face-faced gods include the Duke of the East and the Queen Mother of the West.
The two dragons occupy one side each, with the dragon's head facing the edge of the mirror, its body slightly curved in an S shape, and its claws extending towards the edge of the mirror.
During the period, it was embellished with gold, black, jade, toad and curly grass patterns, and the inscription was "Guan Jinya mirror's little mother was injured, and it was carved with skillful craftsmanship. The dragon on the right and the tiger on the left are the sheep, the red bird and the basalt follow the yin and yang, the descendants are in the center, and the protection is long."
