Chapter 1813 Exquisite and exquisite

Chen Zhang 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, shop head, standing animal and other important parts combined in the copper pot.

With these objects placed evenly, there is no dull feeling at all, and each item is distributed on it just right.

Most of the patterns in these transparent bronzes are symbols of the beauty of nature.

For example, some plum blossoms and dragon patterns.

These are works of art that come from life, but are higher than life, and the meaning of them is truly carved on the hollow bronzes.

In addition to showing the static state of the object in the hollow bronze, there are also some dynamic pictures, using the hollow parting surface to show the dynamic picture.

There is stillness and movement, up and down, and the beautiful things in life are displayed in a patchwork pattern in the air.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, due to the emphasis on air-permeable bronzes, mechanical assembly technology was also applied to bronzes.

Still in the casting of Chen Zhang pot, through observation of its surface, it can be concluded that the bronze dragon grid on the shoulder and belly of the pot, 4 rings, 4 shop heads, 4 hoops and 4 Standing beast and so on.

At the joints of the shoulder and belly copper dragon grids, 4 places with a total of 8 joints were designed and cast, and 4 shop heads were connected into one body by band casting and welding.

Its wonderful and elaborate design lies in the joint seam at the junction of the shoulder and belly copper dragon mesh, which is covered by 4 straps, making people feel that the shoulder and belly of the pot are integrated.

In the casting of Chenzhang pot, through the use of mechanical assembly technology, the structure inside is connected more seamlessly.

Therefore, among the air-permeable bronze wares of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, the Chen Zhang Pot is the most representative air-permeable bronze ware.

It is almost a fusion, all the exquisite technology in open bronze with exquisite appearance.

The workmanship of bronze wares ranges from simple to complex, which can also be reflected in the patterns of hollow bronze wares.

In the open-air bronzes, the simple patterns at the beginning evolved into various patterns in the end.

Among them are some hollow bronzes, which can also be engraved.

Among the engraved bronzes, the earliest engraved phenomenon is found in the bronze round collar bi found at the Jinsha site in Chuandu.

Then in Liuhecheng Bridge, Sujiang, copper plate fragments were found in the tombs of the late Spring and Autumn Period.

Through these simple hollow bronzes, you can see a large number of exquisite engravings.

It can be seen that the engraving technique in the hollow bronze ware is also very exquisite.

There are 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 air-permeable bronzes in the Bronze Age is fundamentally the innovation of bronze technology brought about by social changes.

In the pre-Qin period, it was the beginning of the development of the prototype of the air-permeable bronze ware, and the development came step by step.

During the period of the Chu State, innovations in form and structure were mainly made on the original bronze wares.

Finally, during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, the appearance and internal structure of the air-permeable bronzes were perfectly combined with design innovations.

These are the development process of bronze, and the development of bronze in our country has brought a new peak in these several periods.

These characteristic bronzes are all products of history, and even now, they are worth understanding and learning for each of us.

Even if it is Chen Wenzhe, if he is not careful and knowledgeable everywhere, he is unlikely to understand the air-through technique.

What's more, they don't know that the air-permeable technique can play such a big role in bronze wares.

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 the technique of hollow carving and openwork carving is the same, but in fact they have their own characteristics.

Hollow carving is a form of sculpture, also known as hollow carving.

That is to hollow out the part of the material that does not express the image, and leave the part that can express the image.

Openwork carving is a technique developed from round carving. It is a carving technique that expresses the three-dimensional space of objects and images, and it is developed from traditional carving techniques.

Ancient stonemasons often carved dragons with stone rolling balls in their mouths. The dragon balls were peeled off from the original stone, larger than the dragon's mouth, and rolled in the dragon's mouth without slipping out.

This kind of "bead" that moves in the dragon button stone seal is the simplest hollow carving.

Then there is openwork. In carving works, the protruding part of the image is kept, and the back part is partially hollowed out, which is called openwork.

The similarities and differences between openwork, openwork and chain carving are that all three are penetrating, but the back of openwork is mostly expressed in the form of screens, which can be divided into single-sided openwork and double-sided openwork.

Single-sided openwork only engraves the front, while double-sided openwork engraves both the front and back images.

No matter single-sided openwork or double-sided openwork, they are essentially different from openwork and chain carving.

That is openwork carving and chain carving, both are 360-degree all-round carvings, not the front or the front and back.

Therefore, openwork carving and chain carving belong to round carving techniques, while openwork carving is an extension of relief carving techniques.

In the carving process, hollow out is naturally used more than hollow carving, and even fruit carving and flour carving also use this carving technique in large quantities.

Hollow-out core carving is also a kind of hollow-out technique.

There are even hollow-out core carvings carved by folk artists, who cleverly use the texture on the plant core to carve out vivid and interesting objective images after imitating the image.

Plant fruit stones generally have the characteristics of small size, irregular texture and thin and brittle skin.

With the help of the irregular texture of the fruit core, the core carving artists make the works clear and clear, and the theme is concentrated, whether it is a figure pavilion, or birds, animals, insects and fish, all are vivid and interesting.

The engraving of the hollow core carving is the most critical stage of creation.

It is required that the author's skill in using the knife, the handling of lines and surfaces, and the changes in various modeling methods must all obey the needs of the theme content, so that the meaning, shape, and knife can be organically integrated.

At the same time, flexible use of knife techniques such as punching, scratching, cutting, and scraping, as well as expression methods such as relief carving and openwork carving, as well as the oriental artistic language with rich connotations, in the dense and virtual shapes, square and round frustrations, and the interweaving and variations of thickness and length. Exquisite and exquisite artistic effect.

Only in this way can the works produce music-like rhythm and appeal, and become Yingying treasures.

Such hollow carvings perform well on bronze ware, but compared to 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 openworked dragon pattern composite mirror of the Warring States Period.

Among the various and beautifully cast bronze mirrors of the Warring States period, the hollow composite mirrors have become the best among the Warring States mirrors because of their unique shape, magnificent decoration, exquisite casting technology and superb composite technology.

The so-called composite mirror refers to the synthesis of the mirror surface and the mirror back after being cast separately.

It is more difficult to make such mirrors, and the rare ones handed down to the present are even more precious.
