西周早期青铜器修补与改制现象研究

Study on the Repair and Reform of Bronze Wares in the Early Western Zhou Dynasty

夏商周三代的青铜容器在当时多属技术含量高的珍贵用具,其外形设计也大都独具匠心。所以,铜器一经铸成,虽经过使用、流转直至埋入窖藏或作为随葬品陪葬,大多数都不存在外观形态上的改变。然而一旦发生改变,其背后的历史原因必然值得深思。西周早期[1]青铜器外观形态发生改变的主要情形为修补,是对破损的铜器进行以维持原貌为目的的补铸或焊接[2]处理。

Repair and modification are changes to the appearance of bronzes,Because the bronze ware had a very special position in the early Western Zhou Dynasty,Therefore,any change in its appearance is worth in-depth analysis.This paper summarizes these two phenomena,it is believed that the patching and modification behavior is related to the identity and status of the owner,and is inseparable from the social background at that time.
