Casting Methods of Chinese bronze sculpture statue
The ammonium
carbonate, ammonium bicarbonate, hydrochloric acid dissolved in ceramic
containers, and open the bottle of ammonia with high pressure water into the
tank, and the bronze
sculpture hanging on the high-pressure tank, pressure vessel and
then sealed and heated at the bottom, so that the tank 2 to 3 atmospheres. The
big development brings forth resplendent pre-Qin bronze sculpture statue.
Replaced once every month, chemical reagents. After 3 to 5 months (ge yue),
bronze or sheet will be generated on the surface of green rust spots, there are
some parts of the crystallization of rust. Disadvantages are: single color, B
Mou troubled stomach break cease threatening partner. Tao Fan Zhou bronzes
unearthed reveal the production of the eternal mystery.
Bronze flourished in
the Shang and Zhou dynasties, including the Western Zhou bronze especially known
for exquisitely. But the fine is what the Western Zhou bronze casting process
has been made is a mystery. The dramatic changes leave a great impact on later
bronze
statue. In September last year to January this year, by the
Museology, Peking University, Shaanxi Provincial Institute of Archaeology, CASS
Institute of Archaeology, a coalition of the original archaeological team of the
week, Fufeng County, Shaanxi Province, located in the town village white village
Famennian bronze workshop were Li large-scale archaeological excavations
unearthed thousands of bronze casting with the Tao Fan, comprehensive
understanding of the Western Zhou Dynasty bronze casting process and the weeks
of the original china bronze industry in the region provides an important kind
of information.
The actual archaeological excavation area 875 m2, total clean
up of pits 120 Western Zhou Dynasty, housing sites 8, wells 2, gray-ditch 3,
burial 35, and chariot pit 1. Unearthed thousands of Tao Fan, including the
production Ding, Gui, Ge, such as a dozen bronze pot Tao Fan, part of the Tao
Fan on Animal Mask, Dragon, Phoenix Bird, Yunlei Wen and other fine decoration.
Tao Fan by these preliminary studies, it is the Western Zhou chinese
bronze casting process has a number of important knowledge. To the
Warring States Period, the handicraft of the chineses bronze sculpture statue
had made a great advancement. From raw material perspective, the production
range, mode, range of three core materials are different, the soil used in
molding the most delicate, with high strength and finish. Fan degree of detail
with soil surface after the die, Fan back rough texture material, generally
mixed with gravel or plants.
Soil cores used in quite different: the need to
remove all of the core surface is smooth and there is a certain hardness,
including inside the core without removing loose surface roughness and quality
like a sponge. Fan from the outside to see the production process can be divided
into de-formed Fan, making decorations, dried, roasted, and several other steps.
The level of the industries like smelting iron, china
bronze casting, lacquer, and silk had significantly improved. It
can be seen outside the scope of the Western Zhou Dynasty sculpture in
bronze production process has been very mature, structured and non
structured range of block processing, the use of different methods produce
different set of technical aspects of decoration, in addition, the information
found dried and baked, so that the academic For a long time to give both a
complete lack of information added. From the core of the production process, the
past made people believe that the core of the core box can be turned into the
system, and the use of hand-made range of reproduction in three ways, but did
not find this to explore the core box, the initial core of the production only
reached two methods.
