“其金孔吉”展出中国国家博物馆藏青铜器札记

A Note on the Bronze Wares from the NMC in the Exhibition “Auspicious Metals”

2016年9月,中国国家博物馆与清华大学艺术馆联合推出了"其金孔吉—一商周青铜器艺术"展览,共展出62组件中国国家博物馆收藏的商周时期青铜器。本文从这次展览的展品出发,选取两个主题进行讨论。一是商代长江流域青铜器与中原地区的交流;二是春秋中期青铜器风格的变化。第一个主题,本文从这次展出的要和鬲出发,讨论了商代中原及北方地区所见的带有长韵状扉棱的铜器,认为它们与长江流域具有一定联系;第二个主题从展出的春秋中期青铜器出发,讨论了这一阶段青铜器造型及纹饰风格的变化,指出,春秋中期在青铜器风格的转变过程中,具有承前启后的作用,应该将这一阶段的代表性铜器墓独立进行讨论,这样更容易把握和理解春秋时期青铜器风格由西周风格向列国风格的转变。

In September 2016, an collaborative exhibition ＂Auspicious Metals： Bronze Art of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties＂ was held by the National Museum of China（NMC） and Tsinghua University, in which sixty-two pieces（sets） of bronzes of the Shang and Zhou dynasties collected in the NMC were on display. This article discusses two main issues based on those exhibits： one is about the communication of bronzes in the Yangtze river basin and those in the Central Plains area in the Shang dynasty, and the other one is about the change of bronzes＇ style in the mid Spring and Autumn period. On this first issue, this article studies the lei[罍] and li[鬲] in the exhibition, discusses the bronze wares with long hook shaped flange decorations of the Shang dynasty in the Central Plains area and northern area and points out that they had some connection with those in the Yangtze river basin. On the second issue, this article studies the bronzes of the mid Spring and Autumn period in the exhibition and discusses the stylistic change of bronzes＇ shapes and patterns in that period. The author points out that the mid Spring and Autumn period witnessed the transition of bronzes＇ style.
