广西合浦汉墓出土青铜器的分铸法

Separated Casting of Bronze Artifacts Unearthed from Han Tombs in Hepu of Guangxi Autonomous Region

关于商周青铜器的分铸法,已经有较多研究,而汉代青铜器制作技术的研究则并不充分。广西合浦汉墓群出土青铜器众多,鼎为其中较常见的器物类型。我们通过观察其中两件西汉早期鼎的工艺现象,并辅以X光成像、DR成像和CT断层扫描等检测方法,确定两件器物使用了分铸技术,进而对铸工的技术选择与造型设计之间的关系进行讨论。

Considerable scholarly attention has been paid to the separated casting method of Shang and Zhou bronze artifacts.However,how bronze artifacts were cast in the Han Dynasty has been insufficiently understood.Numerous bronze artifacts have been unearthed from the Han tombs in Hepu of Guangxi Autonomous Region,with ding-tripods being a common type of artifact.We have confirmed that the separated casting technique produced the two artifacts by examining the craftsmanship of two early Western Han ding using X-ray imaging,DR imaging,and CT scans.We further discussed the relationship between the craftsmen's technical choices and the artistic designs.
