Sichuan Bronze Collection, Sichuan Museum

Sichuan Museum has collected since the 1950s, Xinfanshui Guanyin, Baxian Dongsunba, Zhaohua Baolunyuan, Pengzhou Zhuwa Street, Chengdu Yangzishan, Chengdu Baihuatan, Chongqing Fuling Xiaotianxi, Xindu Majiaxiang A large number of exquisite bronzes unearthed from a series of major archaeological discoveries such as Guanghan Sanxingdui, Chengdu Jinsha and Maoxian and Xuanhan counties.

The most characteristic and most common development of the Bayu bronzes is the variety of bronze sharps, including weapons and tools. In addition, there are many special inscriptions on the Bronze bronzes, and the symbols of the shape of the palm, the flower, the tiger, the bird, etc. are cast. There are also some bronzes in the Bayu area that are similar in style to the neighboring vassal countries. For example, the ceremonial shape and ornamentation of the Xindu Jiuliandun Tomb are similar to those of the Chu.

The alloy of red copper and tin or lead is called bronze. As an important part of Chinese bronze culture, around 1600 BC, the Bab bronze ware gradually formed its own unique bronze culture in the exchange with the Xia, Shang and Zhou bronze culture. The Chinese classical literature is full of enthusiasm, but the records about the history of the Bashu are like morning stars. Therefore, the history of Cuba’s hustle and bustle is confusing and there are many different opinions. Since the 1950s, Xinfanshui Guanyin, Baxian Dongsunba, Zhaohua Baolunyuan, Pengzhou Zhuwa Street, Chengdu Yangzishan, Chengdu Baihuatan, Chongqing Fuling Xiaotianxi, Xindu Majiaxiang, Guanghan Sanxingdui, A large number of exquisite bronze wares were unearthed from a series of major archaeological discoveries such as Jinsha in Chengdu and Maoxian and Xuanhan counties. In addition, neighboring provinces such as Hanzhong, Baoji, and Yichang, Hubei, which are adjacent to Sichuan, have also discovered bronze wares with the characteristics of Bayu culture, which provide extremely valuable material information for the study of Bayu culture. It is proved that in the vast Sichuan Basin, about three or four thousand years ago, the monks created a highly civilized ancient country, and later together with the Ba people created a splendid bronze culture of the Bab, representing the highest achievements of the ancient civilization of the Bayu.

When we stand in front of the precious legacy left by the Bayu ancestors, we must not sigh that the ancestors are creating their own culture, while not forgetting the mind and wisdom of the essence of Shang and Zhou culture; we must not admire the ancestors who are creating wealth. At the same time as the material world, it also created a glory in the world of romantic bronze art.

Shown here is only a part of the bronze wares of the Sichuan Museum. Its mystery and peculiarity will tell you the glory of the past.
