青铜器的鉴赏与收藏

Appreciation and Collection of Bronze Ware

中国虽然不是最早发明青铜的地区，却是将青铜工艺和青铜艺术推向巅峰的国度。在古埃及和美素不达米亚以及后来整个的欧洲，除了铸铜的工具、兵器之外，青铜被用于艺术的例子主要是法老遗像之类的雕塑，而中华民族于人类青铜文明最大的贡献至少可以归纳为如下几个方面。

Although China was not the earliest area in which bronze ware was invented and used but the country that pushed the technology and arts of bronze-making to the peak. In general,there are three points that China has made achievements on bronze culture:1) Developing the technology from casting to forging; 2) Improving bronze ware as bronze arts; 3) Promoting the development of bronze ware and culture phenomenon.
