China’s Bronze Age began approximately from 2100 BC, and saw its prime around 13th to 11th century BC. Spanning over nearly 2000 years, the Chinese Bronze Age covered Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties. At those times, bronze, still regarded as a precious alloy, was mainly used to forge ritual ware for ceremonies paying tribute to the ancestors and expensive containers on banquets for honorable guests.
The amount, variety and size of bronze wares often represent the owner’s social status and power. There were various kinds of bronze ware in Chinese history, but most of them spread over the middle and lower reaches of Yellow River and Yangtze River. Its complicated models, fine design and excellent founding made it the most effulgent part of Chinese history.
Today, the beauty of traditional Chinese bronze art lives on in many museums, galleries and antiquity collections. Modern replicas are still crafted in the ancient style, and are valued as culturally significant decorations for homes and businesses. From the artifacts once created to honor royal ancestors and comfort the deceased, we can learn about and enjoy the fascinating ways of life of ancient China.
