Bronze Artifacts of the Erligang Culture:General Characteristics and Significance

二里冈文化时期的青铜器已经形成了以容器和兵器为主体的特性,容器中又形成了食器和酒器相结合的礼器性质,并有了较为稳定的器物组合形式。在制作上,三分外范成为基础的合范技术形式,装饰成为礼器的重要表现方式,并深受制作技术的影响。兽面纹等想象动物纹样作为主要的装饰内容,初现古代中国抽象艺术的风格。因此,二里冈文化青铜器已经大体具备了中国青铜时代青铜器的基本特性,并开始塑造中国古代社会的礼仪特性。

During the Erligang culture period,bronze artifacts were primarily containers and weapons.Some food and wine vessels were developed into ritual objects,later becoming a stable artifactual combination.In terms of production,the three-part outer mold became the basic form of the combined mold technique,and decoration became an important mode of expression for ritual objects,which was deeply influenced by production techniques.Animal motifs such as animal face patterns became the primary decorative content,signaling the emergence of abstract art styles in ancient China.Therefore,the Erligang culture bronze artifacts had largely acquired the basic characteristics of Chinese Bronze Age artifacts and began to shape the ceremonial aspects of ancient Chinese society.
