Introduction:
In the long history of human society, the age of using bronze weapons and tools is called the Bronze Age.
The bronze pieces found in the Yangshao Cultural Site about 7000 years ago indicate that humans have gradually come to know bronze and entered a long period of accumulation of bronze technology and experience.
Starting from the Erlitou culture around 2000 BC, with the emergence of the country, China entered the Bronze Age. Since then, the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, especially in the late Shang and early Western Zhou dynasties, China's bronze casting technology and its derived etiquette hierarchy have reached their peak.
In the Qin-Han dynasties around 2000 years ago, the iron smelting industry gradually flourished and iron became the main production tool. However, during this period, existing archeological materials show that bronzes still appeared in large numbers in ruins and tombs. What are the characteristics of the bronzes during the Qin-Han Dynasties and their historical status in the history of Chinese bronze civilization?
