Later, Qin attack Yan , Yan appeared to be perished. In order to save the situation in peril, Yantai Zi Dan decided to let Jing Ke to assassinate the King of Qin . But Jing Ke went to Yan left after no meaning, seeing Chi Yan will enter, Prince Dan is very anxious, urging Jing Ke early departure, Jing Ke required to take General Fan in the skull and a map of the State of Yan bait, Prince Edward Dan could not bear to kill the Fan in. Jing Ke personally met with Fan in , Fan in committing suicide sword hear it. Thus, Jing Ke with Fan in the head, the dagger hidden in the map with paladin Qin Wuyang go with him to complete the mission. Jing Ke left that day, Prince Dan and his hangers were all dressed in white, they come off as Jing Ke, has been sent to the Yan State in southern Yasumizu North Shore, then feast high feast each other farewell, the presence of people know about this no longer meet one day, respectively, are very sad. Jing Ke friend Gao Jianli personally hit buildings, Jing Ke and the beat singing “Yasumizu song.” In the tragic anthem, Jing Ke Swagger to the West. However, the assassination attempt, Jing Ke was finally Qin killed.

Modern This instrument has died out in the Warring States era building but a very popular musical instrument .Hit buildings ancient times, our country had a clavichord instrument – built, “Han Ji Gotti” and its shape is described: “the shape of piano and large, head Ann chord to strike the bamboo, so it is called building. “This instrument is pre-Qin era of ancient musical instruments, from southern China, the sound of grief hyperactivity, agitation, in a widely circulated. “Warring Yan policy” records, Jing Ke Ci Qin Wang Sai, Prince Dan Yasumizu farewell , friend Gao Jianli hit buildings, Jing Ke, and the song, saying: “Come Yishui Han Feng Xiaoxiao, a warrior to Come Nevermore.” and ” Historical Assassins “contains: Gao Jianli lead home building, the lap Qin end of Bei Zhu. These two stories have built records. Regrettable and is confusing, building musical instruments since the Song Dynasty, they lost. I saw dry years is documented, but not in kind. But the lost thing, suddenly in 1993 in Changsha Hexi Changsha Han queen Yuyang found in the tomb. Heritage sector referred to the discovery of new China 40 years instrument first major archaeological discovery, academics call this building as “the first building.”

History

Warring late Yan State of Gao Jianli was a hit buildings of the famous. Gao Jianli have a good friend, is Jing Ke . Qin Qiang Yan was weak, Qin Yan’s ambition to annex the horizon. Yantai Zi Dan in order to keep their own country, sent righteous Jing Ke to assassinate the King of Qin , want to keep to the death of the King of Qin Yan State ‘s territory. So to Jing Ke and then swallow another warrior Qin Wuyang as messengers to the King of Qin Qin served raw Fan in the head and gave Yan maps to please the King of Qin, and maps into Tibet favorable dagger, on which there is drama poison, ready to be the emperor did not notice the time, stabbed him with a knife. Jing Ke in Yasumizu bade farewell to the shore of Prince Dan and friends of you, when leaving, Gao Jianli hit buildings, Jing Ke and while Kangkaibeige: “Come Yishui Han Feng Xiaoxiao, a warrior to Come Nevermore.” prior to ” Variable levy voice , “that in F, this tune sad, plaintive, should be placed with sadness. After the “complex of Feather Sound,” Feather Sound is equivalent to Western music A tone, high-pitched tone, sound impassioned , Jing Ke is pressed on the determination of death went to Qin. Later it was used to represent this allusion Kangkaibeige move. Northern Geng letter of the “think of returning Ming” where there is this story: “The strong one go, Yannan have hit buildings are sad. ”

Alas Jing Ke failed (detailed plot visible “Historical Assassins”) Emperor was furious, immediately sent General Wang Jian , Wang Ben and his son destroy the State of Yan , Yantai Zi Dan was killed, Jing Ke’s friend Gao Jianli was forced to flee Songjahak outside the city, in a tavern doing bartender , renamed swallow big. Gao Jianli was given a place to live, but his homeland nostalgia for Jing Ke nostalgia is often not in the heart. Sometimes, in the dead of night, he can not help but hit buildings sing to express his grief. Of course, he is still the most sung song Yasumizu song: “Come Yishui Han Feng Xiaoxiao, a warrior to Come Nevermore.” Over time, people know he is hit buildings of teacher Gao Jianli , of course, no matter hidden from the tyrannical emperor.

Emperor sent for Gao Jianli arrest to the palace and asked: “Are you Jing Ke friend? Jing Ke is dead, why are you still alive? “Gao Jianli calmly replied:” I live to hit buildings, as long as there are built to hit, I you can live well. ” Qin said: “Well! I can fulfill your wishes. NCOs! smoked his two blind, give him a building, let him go hit.” From Gao Jianli this pair Head blindness. His eyes were blind, but his heart is very bright, he’s looking for an opportunity to Yan revenge for friends Jing Ke , for their own revenge.

Since then, Gao Jianli deliberately rehearsing hit buildings, of course, he will hit better than it was built. Terracotta like to listen to hit buildings, but each Gao Jianli hit buildings, the emperor always let him sit on steps or less, far away from their own, which is wary of his bar. But over time, the King of Qin vigilance of the heart will have diminished, and sometimes hit buildings, the Gao Jianli Qin felt himself standing nearby could hear Qin King’s breathing sound. Gao Jianli hearts irrepressible excitement, he secretly thought: “The time is about to mature, it should check all the possibilities.” So he gathered around a heavy lead weights. Soon, his hands warriors from the palace to collect several chunks of lead, about 20 kilos heavier. So he carefully put these lead block on an empty chamber building, this frame building apparently became thick and heavy weapons up. One day, the palace who told him: “almost ready, the king today to see the snow, so you go Piandian hit buildings.” Gao Jianli hearts of both nervous and excited, he was ready to go with the house people.

Emperor sat wide throne listen Gao Jianli hit buildings, while, the Emperor asked: “Gao Jianli, today’s building sound how without the usual loud?” Gao Jianli, said: “may place too empty, thus building sound becomes smaller.” Emperor slowly approached Gao Jianli , stopped at his side, said: “There is nothing new tunes, playing to listen to me.” Gao Jianli heart pounded jumped up, and he pretended to be calm replied: “Last night the king working towards a new song, I hope Your Majesty like. “Just at that moment, Gao Jianli suddenly grabbed the lead weights to go to the emperor blasted to strike, the emperor flash back instinctively, heavy lead fell to the ground, but did Misses Emperor. Terracotta And after a little fright, infuriated, ordered Gao Jianli hanged, the corpses burned to vent his anger in my heart. Future generations of people Gao Jianli This love for the motherland, loyal friendship, intrepid spirit greatly appreciated.

Hit buildings expert introduction

Gao Jianli (475 BC – 221 BC), Warring States Dynasty Yan who have documented the earliest hit buildings experts. (Build: Strings, and zither, harp similar to bamboo hitting sound.)

Bronze

Bronze (Bronze Ware) is made ​​of bronze (copper and tin alloy) made ​​appliances, born in human civilization of the Bronze Age . Because bronze appeared throughout the world, it is a worldwide symbol of civilization. The earliest bronze appeared in 5000 to 6000 years ago in Mesopotamia West region. Sumerian civilizations large image of a lion carved copper knife is representative of the early bronze. Bronze gradually from 2000 years ago the Iron replaced. Chinese bronzes beautifully produced in the world, bronzes called artistic value highest. Represent China in the Qin Dynasty superb technology and culture. Chinese bronzes town of Baoji city, unearthed a large Yue Ding , Maogong Ding , scattered disc’s other five thousand pieces of bronze. China’s only museum bronze theme Baoji Bronze Museum .

Bronze

Brief introduction

Mainly refers to the Qin Dynasty bronze with a copper-tin alloy artifacts,Referred to as ” bronze . ” Including Cooking, eating utensils, wine , water heater, musical instruments , traveling ornaments, bronze mirrors , hook, weapons , tools and measuring instruments, etc. Popular in the Neolithic Age to the late Qin Han era, business week most exquisite artifacts. Initially there is the small tools or accessories. Xia Late bronze vessels and weapons. C Medium, bronze varieties have been very rich, and the emergence of inscriptions and fine patterns. Suppliers to the late Western Zhou early development is bronze heyday-type variety, vigorous dignified, inscriptions gradually lengthened, the pattern of harassment Wealthy. Subsequently, the bronze matrix began thinning, decoration gradually simplified. Spring and the late Warring States period , the promotion of the use of iron, copper tools less and less. Qin and Han dynasties, with porcelain and lacquer into everyday life, reduced copper container species, decorated in a simple, mostly plain, the carcass is also slimmer. Chinese ancient bronzes, our ancestors a great contribution to human material civilization, although archaeological data point of view, the emergence of Chinese bronzes, later than some other parts of the world, but on the scale of the use of bronze, casting, styling Arts and species concerned, the world is not a place where ancient Chinese bronzes bronzes can be compared. This is the ancient Chinese bronzes in the world, occupies a unique position in the history of art and one of the reasons causing widespread attention.

Made out of bronze color when it is really very beautiful, is a gold -like khaki, because buried in the earth just a little bit rusty becomes green. Since bronze is entirely handmade so no two are exactly alike, and each one is unique and unparalleled.

With the development of primitive society, Ding from the initial cooking food cooking gradually evolved into a ritual, a right and a symbol of wealth. Ding how much reflects the level of status; tripod severity, marking the power of size. In the Shang and Zhou period, Chinese bronzes form a unique style series: container, musical instruments, weapons, horses devices , and so on. Bronze covered with gluttonous pattern, double-lines , or a combination of human and animal mask decoration, pattern formation gods reflects ignorance of mankind from primitive state to a civilized transition.

Chronicles Overview

Early 16th century BC Shang Dynasty – before mid-15th century
Equivalent suppliers Erligang period. Zhengzhou Mall rammed in charcoal determination of carbon 14 dating to 1620 BC, the Shang Tang Liguo exact period, but the lower Erligang not quite clear. Erligang remains divided into two layers, the difference between the upper and lower bronzes not belong to style, but lower than the upper classes have more development. Early Shang bronzes unearthed in Zhengzhou, and this is due to the early Shang dynasty in Zhengzhou Mall Rhyme with the rules. Important are Erligang, Baijiazhuang, Zhang Zhainan Street, Yangzhuang, South Gate, the Ming Gong Road, Erqi Road and other places of burial or cellars. Broadly distributed in the south and the southeast corner of the mall. Northeast and west of the city, there are also buried bronze cemetery. Found in northern Henan early Shang Dynasty bronze more than. In Hubei Huangpi Panlongcheng , Anhui Kerry Hill Park Gang, Jiangxi Wu Qingjiang City and other places also have important discoveries. These ruins and tombs found in the early Shang Dynasty bronze to Erligang upper majority.
Integrated throughout the unearthed artifacts, namely: Ding, ding big, generous Ding, Ge, earthenware vessel, BU, Gui, Jazz, Jazz pipe flow, goblets, jade cup with ears, jar, beam lifting pots, gourd-shaped beam lifting pots, in the column plate, plate etc., including Ning food, wine and water, and other categories. Older class is relatively simple, but MG, goblets, Jia in a wine portfolio, has generally appears. Erligang upper bronze the shapes are more developed, Shang bronze ritual of the system has been formed. The lower part of Erligang bronzes, wall generally thin, Erligang upper bronzes, some quite heavy wall Pat.
Early Shang Dynasty bronze has a unique style. Ding, Ge and other tableware three feet. There must be a foot into the ear with a vertical line in the visual sense of imbalance. Ding, Jia in other columnar tapered legs and feet into the abdomen connected device, which is due for Fan had not yet mastered the core cast closed skills. Fang Ding huge, deep bucket container portion for square-shaped, rectangular trough period with Yin Ding completely different manner. MG shape inheritance Erlitou design – law for the flat body flat. Flow is very narrow and long. Bronze Jia in addition to flat-type, it also appeared bags full jia. Gu, respect, BU, jar, etc. Individually + Quanzu is shaped big hole, quite Erligang top of the device, + glyphs have become generous hole. Some even in Quanzu edge, leaving a gap in the number of road, Zhengzhou and Huangpi Panlongcheng have unearthed this instance. Inclined pipe flow cap placed on top of the half-bag of foot he Hu, the rear there is a large Pan executable, in this period distinctive. High-necked jar lips are narrow shoulder, body is also high. Early Shang Dynasty pots have a bucket of long-necked small mouth and small mouth puff shaped hanging gourd-shaped two lanes, there are also small mouthparts not high neck no bucket of the.
Early Shang Dynasty bronze ornamentation Animal Mask body is to maneuver the rough lines constitute hook song, all deformation patterns, in addition to the beast big round head, that symbol, the rest does not specifically show images stripes all parts of ornamentation flat carving, individual master pattern emerged reliefs Erligang upper statue, jar and other devices on the shoulders of sacrifice has been the first high relief decoration. All animal faces or other animal prints not to thunder pattern as the ground, is a characteristic of this period. The early Shang Dynasty geometric pattern is extremely simple, there are some rough thunder pattern, there are single or multiple columns of beaded, nipple design has also emerged.
Early Shang Dynasty bronze, very few inscriptions, previously considered on an individual turtle is a text, in fact, was ornamentation rather than text. Early Shang Dynasty bronze alloy composition was determined: copper 67.01 ~ 91.99% in between the tin content between 3.48 ~ 13.64%, lead levels between 0.1 to 24.76 percent, less stable ingredients. But high lead content, so that the copper solution to maintain good flow properties, and the early Shang Dynasty bronze wall is thin relative to the appropriate process requirements.
The mid-15th century BC, suppliers – before the 13th century
In the business Erligang period and the period between the Yin Ruins culture, there are several groups of bronzes unearthed. These artifacts have some characteristics of the early Shang Dynasty, however, has been more evolution; also has some characteristics of the onset of the Yin Ruins period bronzes. More typical is the lower Hebei Gaocheng Taihsi tombs unearthed a number of bronzes, Beijing Pinggu Liujiahe Shang Dynasty tombs unearthed bronze, Anhui Funan and feixi unearthed bronze. East Bridge in western Henan Lingbao, but also unearthed. There is a kind of Yin Ruins culture artifacts found, such as the No. 232 Xiaotun Tomb unearthed a group of bronzes, and Xiaotun 331, 333, etc. tomb unearthed some bronzes. But this type of artifacts found in the Yin Ruins is not much, but in some other areas but a more typical than the Yin Ruins and fine Well, now also like Erligang not find or produce such as Yin Shang Dynasty bronze Rhyme . Pan Geng moved to Yin vendors are suddenly before, earlier in the shelter and the phase, but in the Erligang period, the Yin Ruins of bronze is the objective existence of these before. As these bronzes with early to late transition characteristics, so some will be broken in Erligang the period, and some off early for the Yin Ruins culture. The distribution of these bronzes have a certain universality, and its production when they are not in the center of Yin, which is absolutely necessary in Erligang period, and mature before the Yin Ruins culture period, draw up a call Shang interim stage. Business is not easy to determine the upper limit of the mid and lower limits of about Wu Ding before.
Early in this period close to the shape with MG, goblets, jade cup with ears like. Although similar to the earlier MG tail,But the stream has been relaxed, there’s round body is put not seen MG. Jia feet in the air outside the vertebral shape, the emergence of T-shaped foot, multi-down heave out of the bottom, flat bottom has been rare. Although there has been broad shoulders early big mouth statue, the shape of such a large development at this time, like Funan the dragon statue and animal faces such heavy majestic statue shape, is never seen in the early Shang Dynasty The. BU kind of the shape, but also developed during this period, Gaocheng Shoumian BU is typical. Early figure higher jar, at this time the development of the low percentage of body and wide shoulder design, the Palace Museum possession of the giant animal faces is its typical jar. This time, on the Quanzu + and square-shaped hole, compared with earlier, has narrowed. Ding, Ge class compares prominent change is no longer an ear – enough opposition, the formation of uneven shape, but three feet and ears symmetrical, becoming all future tripod fixed format, but then closed casting core Fan overhang The method has not been fully resolved, and thus there is a hollow belly tripartite case of interlinked.
Decoration is divided into two categories, one category is Erligang improved animal pattern deformation, the original rough lines become thin and dense, one as Pinggu Animal Mask Ding and fertilizer West jia with MG, and Funan dragon statue and Kerry Hill Park Animal Mask Gang main lines have been relatively fine, ring foot remains on the animal faces early structure and style. The second category is the emergence of thunder pattern with dense rows of feathery texture and composition Animal Mask. Such Shoumian eyes often prominent. If not relief, then both the avatar or soma no obvious distinction. Examples of this as Gaocheng BU and the National Palace Museum collection of large jar, have adopted more high relief ornaments attached, but a sense of contour lines are rounded, and late relief steep straight sharp contours of different styles.
Manufacturers generally kept the mid bronze inscriptions not cast habit, but on an individual device found himself cast as the clan’s emblem, but did not find the exam to be ancestors known as dry day.
13th century BC to the late Shang Dynasty before the 11th century
Since Wu Ding As Di Xin. Duan Hui culture, archeology staging four commonly used Zou Heng said that the first phase of the Pangeng to small B, Wu Ding Zhizu A Phase II, Phase III Xin Zhiwen Ding, fourth Di Yi Di Xin. After the discovery, in general, do not cross this boundary. The Ruins of bronze there Zhang Changshou of three installments, said that the first phase of Pangeng to Wu Ding, Zu Geng to Wassily II, III B to Wu Di Xin. In addition, there – some other argument.
As to the late late Shang Wu Ding starting to Di Xin could be close to two years, or less than two hundred years, in such a long period of time, in accordance with the specific circumstances, but also the difference between the front and rear two stages.
1, preceding the late Shang Dynasty: Current emerging class well-Yi, goblet, Gong and so on. Square is a large For the development of almost all the wine are square. Ornamentation, the animal images more specific, and some even have a sense of realism, the main patterns and land lines distinguishable, land lines often fine thunder pattern, with the main pattern is in sharp contrast. Main pattern to use more relief techniques, style is rounded, steep sharp two kinds. Inscriptions mostly a word for artifacts owner family emblem . The shape, the tripod larger changes, in addition to usual style also appeared outside the sub-file tripod. Fangding are slotted rectangular, column foot thick and shorter. Gui is still no ears, abdomen lighter, maximum abdominal diameter upward. Goblet shape the development of the slender, bell extension, a large crucifix Lou hole degenerates into cross hole, or through or not through. Flat body MG greatly reduced, round body Jazz prevailed. Jia jia board changes are beginning to see Shoutou decoration. Three foot significantly higher. Ge Hu appeared with band wear.
2, after the late Shang Dynasty paragraph: class side, no shoulder statue and flat body of the wine container is typical of the new device, only to see other horses Maxianshan device. Follow the front of the late Shang Dynasty more class. The most developed of ornamentation, art deco levels peaked in animals and fantasy as the main animal faces unprecedented development. Ornamentation applied not only in the body, some attention is also less than the bottom of the decorative patterns. Overall style pattern guarded solemn. This term appears in the form of a long inscription notes. But a maximum, but 34 cross. Inscriptions founder fine, content family emblem, ancestor worship, reward, conquest and so on. In addition to the shape aspect tripod foot column, the emergence of hoofed foot; Yuan Ding more, straight ears slightly outward to write. Gui Gui biggest change is the sharp ears pop goblet basic like the preceding, still slender body bell. MG little change, still round body MG, MG flat disappeared, MG column after the shift. Jia still see the beast decoration, continue to be popular enough jia bags, but the body is low and wide, thick pillar trim. Gordo has Hu Hu has twelve wearing.
Chinese bronzes not only quantity, but also modeling rich variety. There are wine, food, water vessels, musical instruments, weapons, implements and tools, traveling devices, appliances, currency, seals, and so on. Single class in wine there MG. Angle, goblet, jade cup with ears, respect, pots, wine container, square Yi, Gong, jar, he Hu, spoon, cut more than twenty device types, and each is planted in every age presents a different style, the same age The design also is kind of the same colorful, and different regions bronzes also vary, like blossom, colorful, thus making bronze with high ornamental value. From the cultural identification standpoint, undoubtedly increased the difficulty of identification, identification is difficult, in turn, makes research Appreciation is more interesting, bronzes and more attractive.

History

General cultural development of the Chinese bronzes divided into three stages, namely the formation period, the heyday and transformation period.

Formation

Dating back 4800-4000 years, the equivalent of Yao, Shun legend era. Presented classical discipline when people have started out smelting bronze. Yellow River , Yangtze River region Longshan era ruins where, by the archaeological excavations in the ruins were found in dozens of bronze products.

Peak period

Namely Chinese Bronze Age, including the Xia, Shang and Western Zhou Dynasty, Spring and Autumn and Warring States early, and continued for about sixteen hundred years. This period is divided into bronze ritual musical instruments, weapons, and miscellaneous devices. Instrument is mainly used in ancestral worship activities.

Transition Period

Generally refers to the late Warring States period to the Qin and Han Dynasty this period. The traditional ritual system has been completely neutralized, iron products have been widely used. To the Eastern Han Dynasty, ceramics been greatly developed, bronze vessels further from the daily life squeezed out. As for weapons, tools, etc., then iron already dominates. Sui and Tang Dynasties mainly various types of exquisite bronze bronze mirrors, generally have various inscriptions. Since then, in addition to bronze bronze mirror, but can no longer say what develops.

Bronze manufacturing technology

Fan casting and lost wax method, Fan casting earlier, the application of the most common manufacturing method helps to understand the ancient forgeries.

Fan casting

Fan casting method, also known molding method, first with clay modeling, sculpture variety of patterns, inscriptions, dried and then after firing, making it the mother die, and then to master molded mud Fan, made ​​of the same shade dry Tao Fan, molten alloy, the alloy is poured into Tao Fanfan cavity Synthesizer, cleaned off the van and then after, after the polishing process is finished bronze.
According excavated from ancient bronze workshop out of the kind, combined with bronze shape analysis, experts believe that the vast majority of ancient Chinese bronze casting method using the paradigm of production.
Fan casting process is divided into five steps:
The first step of modeling, bronze clay shape the basic shape. In the prepared clay mold bronze ornamentation draw the outline of the recessed portion carved directly from the clay mold, the convex portion is attached to another system in the mud after a good mold surface;
The second step is turning Fan, prior to reconcile with uniform fine quality soil firmly press the stick in the mud, mold surface, after beating the clay mold shape and ornamentation anti-Indian in the mud-chip;
The third step is to be an example, will turn a good clay tablets divided into several pieces, remove the ceramic after firing, so Van hard not easily deformed, called Tao Fan. Flatten the Tao Fan artifacts external cavity formation, known as the outer range. Made outside the norm, it will turn Fan with mud slashing a uniform thin layer of mold, made from the inner surface of objects, called internal Fan, bronze inscriptions engraved on the inner fan. The inner and outer Van synthetic one, inside and outside the norm is the gap between the cut out copper solution retained where the spacing between the two is that the thickness of bronze;
The fourth step is pouring the copper solution into Tao Fan. Subject copper liquid solidified, the inner and outer Tao Fan broken, remove Suozhu bronze. Tao Fan only casting a bronze set, so there can be no two identical bronze;
The fifth step is sanding and renovations. Just a good cast bronze, surface roughness, ornamentation are not clear, polished renovation needs in order to become an exquisite bronzes.

Lost wax method

Lost wax method is a precision metal objects such as bronze casting method. Approach is to model castings made with beeswax, and then fill the other refractory mud deposited into the core and the outer range. After the baking heat, melt the wax mold all loss, so that the entire cast model becomes an empty shell. Beyond internal watering solution, then cast objects. Objects can be exquisitely carved with openwork effect. Hubei Province with the county tomb unearthed bronze statue, plates, is currently China’s earliest known lost wax casting.
Spring and late Chinese people may already invented the lost wax casting process. Lost wax process is divided into three steps, the first to be made easily melted paraffin wax with fine mud repeatedly poured wax mold, so that the formation of hardened cast form. Then, the cast form of baking pottery. This process, the wax melted out, forming a cavity in the cast form. Finally copper water pouring into the cavity to form objects. Lost wax casting those typically used for very complex shape bronze, copper Chu unearthed in Henan Xichuan ban and Suizhou Zeng Hou statue unearthed disc is considered that with the lost wax casting.

Muddy casting

Artifacts once casted casting method, called vera casting. The shape is too large or too complex shape, you need to be divided into several pieces throughout the artifacts were turned Fan casting, and finally assembled into a whole, this casting method is called sub-casting method. Casting multiple smaller objects, but also cast Fan cascading multiple fit together by a copper water pouring gate, once cast pieces artifacts, this process is called stack casting method. Stacked multi-casting method for casting coins and other small objects, appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period, Han Dynasty increasingly popular.

Weapon

Yue is the king of this noble weapon for hacking, but also a symbol of power and the ritual punishment. Shaped like ax, ax while larger. As a weapon, made of bronze beryllium head, long-handled form, beryllium head spikes straight edge, flat stems, strong penetration, probably stems from the flat dagger evolved. It appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States period, large-scale use. As for the ax, because of its lethality as spears, in the Spring and Autumn Period combat status has been greatly reduced, has been used for ceremonial, decorative need, as a symbol of military power.
Yue Zhou Dynasty is an important ritual, is one kind of weapon. According to research, such artifacts from stone axes and other tools evolved, more emphasis on the bronzes gorgeous, beautiful qualities, becoming a symbol of power, a symbol of majestic ceremonial objects, where the selected two works of the late Shang Dynasty Yue , particularly emphasizes the majesty of terror features artifacts, entirely consistent with the Shang Dynasty art style.

Ritual

Slaveholders noble bronze ritual is used for worship, banquet, Zhaopin, conquest and funerals and other ceremonial activities Appliances to represent the user’s identity and power level, is the foundation heirloom jewels. A wide range of bronze ritual, a huge amount of fine craft, its existence is the ancient Chinese bronzes notable features. Bronze ritual can be divided into four categories:

Function of the nature

Basic functions

In the minds of the ancients (ancient texts), the bronze has two basic functions or purposes, one is “satisfied that the (inner), into” That dress object; First, “set” that is furnished cloth out. “Book of Rites Ritual” made it very clear: “SanSheng Fish December, Cosmopolitan Kyushu delicious, basket for fruits beans are recommended, four o’clock in the gas also, within the gold, and also illustrated. Shubo plus bi, Mackie also; turtle to the forefront of the prophets; gold, followed see love is. ” Xuan Note: “Gold Zhao things, gold has two meaning, first-meta.” satisfied that the first one is the bronze with the basic skills, but the basic purpose is satisfied “show and.” The object is satisfied that ancient literature so-called “in-kind (the real thing)” is the above mentioned “SanSheng fish wax”, “four seasons of the gas” of the genus, is in fact a sacrifice (meat), millet (the staple food) and wine sweet wine like Zu ago necessities. And its principal is to such as these were included in Zun Yi Ding Gui and other types of objects, and then made to reconcile for ancestor worship purposes. “Wen said,” said: “Ding, and the flavors of the jewels.” ” Lu Ben flavor “records Yiyin” negative Ding Zu to taste said Tang, caused in kingly “,” Cheng Mandarin language “recorded history Peter said: “Cardiff and raw kind, …… in his flat and that of his, and it could go to the abundance of long objects, …… is to bring the mouth and flavors, just limbs to defend the body.” “Zuo Zhao Gong two decades, “it reads Yan Ying said:” Yan and as soup, water, fire, amide, salt, plum, to cook fish. Chan’s to pay, and the Zai Fu, Qi flavor. Franciscan its inferior to vent its over. …… kings of the Franciscan flavors, and five sound also to level their hearts, as its government is also. “bronze in tune with the economic capacity of state property,” and flavors “to” show and “the basic meaning. Reconcile its approach is the “economy of its inferior to vent its over”, and the ultimate goal lies in and the people, “as their government.”

Deep meaning

And there is another layer of gold shows or deeper meaning, which is “Zhao objects” or “like substance” show and. “Venerable Zuo three years”, said: “Kevin Ding like material, so that people know God rape …… Association for the upper and lower energy use, to Edward Hugh.” Original ZD, making bronze sacrifice not only used to dress and other transfers gift dedication to the ancestors, as well as an important role is “like substance” that is portrayed in bronze appearance “object” image. Commonly referred to as bronze floral essence is drawing images thereof.
That “thing” what is it? The answer is actually very simple and clear. “Such offenders, square things, fetish too.” “Thing” that is, people worship the gods, or regarded as the origin of their ancestors fetish, there are classes in the West called “totem.” Then, Mr. Fu in his “Postscript Chen Jun incite public vector fish in Spring Tong said,” first invented: “things that totem” can be described insights. In fact, a lot of the pre-Qin literature see “things”, which many of them can be understood. If “Book Tour mastiff”: “Bi Xian Fang objects”; “Poetry Taiga pepole”: “There is a thing”; “Zuo Zhuan” in the “implicit public five years”: “drawn to chapter material mining,” ” Huan years “:” colored than the elephant, Zhao its objects “,” Venerable years “:” Baiguan like things moving “;” Mandarin “in the” Language Week “:” stewardess Zhao Yong, “” Vietnamese “:” People of God hybridity, not square things “; and” Zhou “and” Spring official Taizong Bo “:” In Pi Gu Ji Quartet soaring “,” department often “such as” flag objects “,” big Sile “:” six things change caused the elephant and the gods “and so on.

Imitation bronze

Since the Han Dynasty “to abandon 100, Only Confucianism” after the ancient ritual music are following week system, in order to hold government or private worship and other ceremonial activities, the constantly modeled on the “Three Rituals” or the Shang and Zhou dynasties bronze ritual The cast for the new bronze ritual, which is imitation. Its characteristics are most marked in imitation utensils time use and imitation persons. During appraisal, we must first distinguish between imitation and counterfeit goods, imitation should not be classified as adulterants. Second, the study of imitation, art and culture of ancient ritual system also has some value, should not simply be denied, but should be given a proper evaluation. Song Previous imitations have been rare. Since the Song Dynasty gold Epigraphy Rose, a large collection of ancient bronzes, and recognizing the “Three Rituals” error, then changed according to the imitation of ancient bronze ritual vessels, used as the sacrificial temple. Song imitation situation seen in Song Di Ruwen “Zhong Hui Set” and clear Yirang “governance and ritual character test” and so on. Huizong chongning four years (1105) Imitation Songgong Spring and Autumn Period and the production of a large bell Shu Sheng Zhong, there are those who spread so far. Qing Dynasty bronze figure was recorded in the book also recorded some Song imitation bronze. Yuan Dynasty rulers of ancient bronze imitation wax Council had also produced a number of ceremonial vessels while. The famous Ming Dynasty Xuande furnace many of them modeled on ancient bronzes shape changes made.

Bronze identification

From between the shape, due to the Western Zhou Dynasty bronze production methods with the Xia, Shang period, as there is not much change, they Tao Fan production, and a device a Fan, handmade, so that the same can not be casting a pottery Fan, therefore, in the Western Zhou Dynasty bronze is no identical shape, if there is, there must be a pseudo-device, or both pseudo.
From between ornamentation, due with the Xia, Shang Tao Fan cast to the same era, a range of a device, almost no identical or nicks bronze ornamentation, in addition to the individual with a single generator has the same range of casting ornamentation, but this ornamentation is rare in the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Judging from the cast copper and iron together, recent archeological discoveries of new materials proved that in the late Shang and early Western Zhou Dynasty, medium, such as copper and iron combined use of iron casting mold are siderite, then what occurs when artificial metal fabrication ? This is a very important time for constructive problem, because as long as this time riveting set, we can know what time from the late Shang Dynasty to belong siderite and copper materials combined time of existence synthesizer? And when it is combined with artificial smelting iron and copper is present time. In 1990, the late Western Zhou Sanmenxia Guo Yujing aristocratic cemetery unearthed a copper handle iron swords, as copper and iron casting co typical artifacts, and is the artificial iron, known as “China First Sword”, is China has so far found in the earliest artificial smelting iron objects, which we can estimate, Chinese history, combined copper and cast iron meteorite from the era of the late Shang Dynasty to the late Western Zhou Dynasty. The artificial smelting iron and copper alloy cast at the age later than the late Western Zhou technically ripe.
Judging from the cast Fan species, in addition to the Western Zhou Dynasty Tao Fan smelting method, but is also the continuation of the Xia and Shang Dynasties Stone Fan with small pieces of bronze casting and uncomplicated artifacts tradition. As Stone Fan method can only create some simple tools and weapons like bronze, stone molds it to the Western Zhou Dynasty bronze casting method, basically not been developed, in the vast majority of the Western Zhou Dynasty bronze casting or casting method using Tao Fan Only a handful of bronze casting with cast stone molds, we have identified this type of method of casting bronze Stone Fan, it is necessary and Tao Fan bronze casting method to distinguish the identification of key points, such as the method of casting bronze Van Stone, there is shape and ornamentation between the same phenomenon.
From another perspective, the Western Zhou Dynasty bronze in the following aspects and characteristics similar to bronze in Xia Dynasty, such as listening to the sound of rust and bronze, as well as the weight of bronze, and its method of Discrimination basically the same.
Judging from the ornamentation, the Western Zhou Dynasty Shang Dynasty bronze ornamentation in succession on the basis of continued development, early and late Shang Zhou as the development has entered a peak period ornamentation, this is the same time inseparable from the social and historical background, but also That although dynasties, but the ruling class domination with a ritual does not change people’s minds, so the bronze ritual development environment has not changed,Such bronze ornamentation or in accordance with the idea of ​​serving as a ritual continues to develop, many of ornamentation in the Shang Dynasty Western Zhou Dynasty is still in use, such as the late Shang Dynasty Animal Mask changes in the form of “Ring column angular, horn-shaped, outer volume angular, claw-shaped, angular involution, winding angle, Ssangyong angular, angular giraffe, tiger-shaped, bear head shaped Animal Mask “and other ornamentation, still in use in the early Western Zhou Dynasty. In the late Western Zhou Dynasty Western Zhou Dynasty formed a unique decoration features, such as, in the late Western Zhou Dynasty, the main popular ring bands , burglary curved lines , re-ringed , hanging scales pattern , wave curved lines , Phoenix Bird , tile patterns , etc., In addition, there were many elements without ornamentation device, in which some of these factors is also decorated with a few folds. Western Zhou Dynasty bronze, sometimes with thunder pattern for the land, which is actually the continuation of the process of bronze ritual vessels, it is conceivable for the ground with thunder pattern bronze ornamentation on the presence of various gods in heaven, or can fetish heaven into the earth, because it can be motifs on life, but the Western Zhou Dynasty bronze motifs on Shang no common, from the other side also shows that people in the Western Zhou Dynasty object of worship, gradually returned to earth from heaven. But we should understand that the Shang and Western Zhou Dynasty Although different types of ornamentation, but the nature and function of these decorations have not changed and still is to enhance the mystique of bronze, strengthened its ritual status. Of course, in the Western Zhou Dynasty bronze ornamentation evolutionary process, is denied many of the traditional bronze ornamentation ornamentation why would these be dismissed out of it? The reason is very simple, it is not suited to the requirements of the times ornamentation, and does not comply with all laws of ritual mystery, so naturally it will be eliminated.
Many of the Western Zhou Dynasty ornamentation follow this rule, such as the Shang and early Western Zhou Animal Mask and deformation ornamentation in the Western Zhou Dynasty gradually phased out in the late Western Zhou Dynasty, Animal Mask rarely, even if there are more in the foot Department and some inconspicuous place. In addition, the Shang Dynasty Kuilong and Bird is rare in the Western Zhou Dynasty, basically disuse, and this is because the object of the Western Zhou Dynasty worship changed, productivity has been further improved, the Western Zhou Dynasty have been no animal is a human opponent, many people no longer exist in nature animal fear, no longer worship, both conquer the beast at least it has a profound understanding of the habits, no longer belongs to the object of worship, so that these mysterious animals sex on the smaller, not to mention the call of God, so in the Western Zhou Dynasty real animal faces less. Even if there is, it is more abstract forms. This is because only the abstract is surreal, is worshiped by people, because people worship only abstract things. The alternative is the new ornamentation, of course, these are abstract ornamentation to the extreme, such as re-ringed, hanging scales pattern, dragons, etc. Of course, there are also some of the more difficult to interpret ornamentation, such as wave curved lines in the Western Zhou Dynasty bronze bronze caldron beans and other artifacts on both the performance, for this wave of curved lines and some people think that is an unknown wild animal Of course, we are on the wave curved lines not enough research, but according to my Guoguo cemetery bronzes wave curved lines were observed, always feel like the waves of the sea, or at least should be a little touch and the sea, because the sea in Zhou is not for people to know and understand, so the sea was very concerned for Zhou mystery, so that people will become the object of worship, perhaps this wave pattern itself is not a song from the sea, but appearance point of view will inevitably be people understand this.
Many Western Zhou Dynasty bronze ornamentation, the layout method also appeared on several decoration coexist. Some ornaments stolen curved lines above the middle of triangular pattern and steal curved lines, abdomen for the Phoenix Bird or dragons, Quanzu is stolen curved lines, very complex, in the modus operandi, mainly the actual situation, aspect, density, etc. parallelism way to make colorful patterns change, but the symmetry is very strong. In addition, the characteristics of the Western Zhou Dynasty ornamentation Another point, which is the application of primary and secondary ornamentation, namely the Western Zhou Dynasty bronze ornamentation generally have several, but only one is the main decoration, which features it is clear that generally occupy prominent position, and a very large area. There are many on the market today imitation of Western Zhou bronzes, but most are not obtaining the essence.

Repair and maintenance

Bronze metal restoration and protection of the cultural relics protection technology is basically the same repair, restoration bronze metal relics protection technology in the more comprehensive, and bronze artifacts accounted for the highest proportion of the metal, so this paper mainly bronze restoration comprehensive system protection Introduction bronze restoration protection technology, we can learn from other cultural relics repair protection methods. In human history has come a long way in the Bronze Age, which is a bronze tools, utensils and weapons material civilization is characterized by development stage. The so-called bronze are: copper with tin or lead elements of the cast is made by a certain percentage of the alloy, copper-based, the color was blue, hence the name bronze.
Corrosion mechanism of bronze artifacts
To repair and protect bronze, bronze corrosion mechanisms must be explored in order to facilitate take proper and effective protection measures. Bronze corrosion mechanism with the development of science has been in constant development, a variety of theories and ideas constantly leap now, but now more consistent view is this: when you come into contact with the buried artifacts chloride, as chloride ion radius is small, easy to Penetrate the water film with copper to form cuprous chloride: Cu ten Cl = → CuCl ten e cuprous chloride reacts with water and cuprous oxide and hydrochloric acid : 2CuCl ten H20 ​​→ Cu20 ten 2HCl cuprous oxide case of oxygen, water and carbon dioxide can be generated when basic copper carbonate; Cu20 -02 ten ten ten H20 ​​C02 → CuC03 · Cu (OH) 2 water cuprous oxide, oxygen, with hydrochloric acid can be converted to basic copper chloride : 2Cu20 ten 2H20 ten 02 ten 2HCl → CuCl2 · 3Cu (0H) 2. Thus, bronzes in the external environment, under the influence of the corrosion products formed, from the inside outwards as a CuCl, Cu20, and then outward is CuC03 · 3Cu (OH) 2, or CuCl2 · 3Cu (OH) 2, or both The laminate-like structure, this result has been x-ray diffraction analysis confirmed. Cuprous oxide layer, the conversion product is a basic copper chloride loose expanded, in powder, commonly called rust powder, oxygen and water can still enter them, cuprous chloride layer is converted to the chloride hydroxide Copper: 4CuCl ten 02 ten 4H20 → CuCl2 · 3Cu (0H) 2 ten 2HCl This creates the conditions for internally generated powdery rust; generated hydrochloric eutectoid encountered, and the copper into cuprous chloride: 4Cu ten 4HCl ten 02 → 4CuCl ten 2H20 with the formation of cuprous chloride and oxygen and water inside it reacts basic copper chloride. This cycle, the continuous expansion of bronze corrosion products, in-depth until the artifacts ulceration, perforation, which is called ” bronze disease . ” Some data suggest that the corrosion mechanism of bronze also with the bronze tin; lead closely related. This sulphide is suspected of oxygen in the role of bacteria by hydrogen sulfide produced by microbial sulfate reduction was mined and transformed. About the relationship between biological and bronze corrosion theory has yet to be people more in-depth research.
Bronze and rust protection
Most bronzes had buried underground, and thus subject to different degrees of corrosion. As corrosive soil capillaries and pores are air, water and electrolyte filled. Bronze buried in the air, water, under the action of the electrolyte, the natural formation of a variety of different colors corrosion coating layer with black copper oxide (CuO), red cuprous oxide (Cu2O), indigo sulfate (CuSO4), the blue copper sulfate (CuSO4 · 5H2O), green basic copper sulfate (CuSO4 +3 Ca (OH) 2), white copper chloride (CuCl), white tin oxide (SnO2), etc. different colors. Most are corrosion products, not only did not destroy the ancient works of art, but they have also added a bronze artistic effect. Patina corrosion layer, a solemn ancient bronzes, age-old symbol of the rust layer generally does not change the form of bronze objects, but also more stable nature of rust, does not result in artifacts destroyed. So this kind of corrosion layer should be retained. But given that most bronzes unearthed there are basically wrapped soil and rust, such as to expose the background, pattern, patterns, inscriptions, it must rust. But the bronze rust can not damage tires, and you want to keep a good rust. The difference is that the basic rust “powdery rust” removal, bronze corrosion mechanism of the presence of chlorine ions bronze corrosion affected, is a “powdery rust” the destruction of the main bronze. To protect the bronze, the key is how to deal with chloride ions, chloride ions from how to move objects out of the inner layer to be removed, or the chloride ion closed steady at artifacts inside, so that oxygen and water, isolated from the external environment factors. Remove excess patina and “powdery rust” in many ways, depending on which method in addition to the specific circumstances of each heritage may be, but there is a general principle, we must maintain the original appearance of objects, especially objects can not hurt inscriptions, patterns and Ancient spots.
Descaling method
There are three main treatment methods: namely, mechanical, chemical and electrochemical reduction method. Three methods used in conjunction with each other.
1. Mechanical methods: divided manual and mechanical operations. Manual operation: used has been exposed on the surface of the bronze powdery rust. You can use a variety of tools, such as stainless steel needle, hammer chisel, chisel, chisel, stainless steel knives, multi lettering pen, scaler, etc., to operate directly on objects, carefully remove the powdery rust. After removal of the rust powder, often find a thin copper, which is not copper bronze body, but copper chloride generated during the hydrolysis of copper. Below it often conceals many gray cuprous chloride, so thin brass pierced with a needle, it was found indeed the chloride can be removed until the brass body seen so far. Mechanical methods include : Digging tick, cutting, scraping grinding, sawing, sweeping brush, sweep, polish and so on. Mechanical operations are: sandblasting machine: the metal can be used to remove rust and corrosion on the surface occurs, it is the use of pressure to rust spraying metal particles, rust will be rapidly removed. This method is one fast, two convenient, three to rust vary in size, which is more than lasers to rust, rust ultrasound have greater advantages, four deep in some cave gap rust can be removed. Laser rust: using laser-like deep holes for bronze chloride removal of lesions is accurate, easy features. The main advantage of the enormous excitation light, the instantaneous effect of rust on the surface layer, the surface temperature rose rapidly, the laser beam generated by interaction with matter light and heat, actinic light pressure and other optical effects. Since rust loose structure, the energy absorption capacity, and thus will quickly rust layer pillow melting, vaporization and body separation, he was able to fast, efficient, non-polluting manner removed harmful powdered green bronze surface rust, so as to prolong Bronze life, the purpose of the effective protection of cultural relics. This method does not apply to large areas of unwanted rust removal. Ultrasonic rust France: ultrasonic cleaning, is the use of ultrasonic micro-mechanical oscillation, both in the solid phase or gas phase medium are ways you can wave propagation. The mechanism: by cavitation effect, and the occurrence of liquid high shock and vibration in the ultrasonic wave at a time of one cycle by the negative pressure, the liquid in the liquid-solid interface that there is a vacuum to divert, cavitation bubbles, in Another time, because of vacuolization to withstand pressure and rupture process is repeated at high frequency on the dirt on the items to be cleaned periodically strong impact, leaving it out of items, and the dirt surface of an article cavitation The dramatic effect of the bubble oscillations, has prompted the dirt from the articles peeling, the ultrasonic cleaning can achieve excellent results. Sesquicarbonate may also be added by ultrasound to accelerate the reaction solution was immersed in a very short time to achieve a long soak treatment effect. Also, you can use the ultrasonic scaler, lettering pen.
2. Chemical liquid chemical reagents rust, rust liquid formulations more.

l, with 5% to 10% citric acid, 5% -10% ammonium hydroxide, alkaline tartrate, bronzes can be directly immersed into liquid rust, rust can use cotton dipped in liquid, and then spreads rusty parts.

2, sodium sesquicarbonate law: sesquicarbonate known as alkali bath immersion method, the use of chemical agents are sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate, the preparation of sodium bicarbonate solution, and the chloride-containing bronze immersed in 1% or 5% The sesquicarbonate (Na2C03 · NaHC03 · 2H20) solution soak, soak time is preferably heated to a liquid temperature during the day and kept at about 40 ℃. Night to cool down. Solution to the leaching solution of chlorine ions appears. Artifacts soaked in distilled water and then rinse the corroded bronze into the solution changed once a week begins a few weeks after a little time for two weeks or longer, soak for at least three months, until the chloride ion concentration less than 4PPm So far, this is a well-established method for a long time, the disadvantage is extremely time-consuming. In this way, by soaking and a half times the corrosion products play a role in sodium carbonate, leaving the chloride ions into the solution, enabling the preservation of green patina, while retaining the inscriptions, ancient patterns and spots, use this law more appropriate, so until Today is also widely used. However, removal of the chlorine ions from the efficiency point of view, it is not particularly good, because the bronze surface etching layer is affected by many factors, is controlled by diffusion kinetics. Only soaking replaced several times in order to make chlorine ions continue to spread out. In order to improve the effect of rust, need to extend the soaking time. If a half times the concentration of 5% sodium carbonate. Not only the release of chlorine ions and more, and faster speed, but also a corresponding increase in the consumption of copper, it is not too thick half times using sodium carbonate solution.

3, benzotriazole (BTA) France: BTA law at home and abroad to protect copper and copper alloy bronze used very effective inhibitor, for the protection of ancient bronzes, and achieved good results. Benzene Benzotriazole is white to cream-colored crystalline powder, soluble in ethanol, benzene and other organic solvents, copper corrosion inhibition on BTA There are two main mechanisms, namely adsorption theory and film theory. Adsorption theory, BTA adsorbed on the surface of bronze, the change in the interface of the metal structure with the solution, and to the anode significantly higher activation energy of the reaction, thereby reducing its ability to respond to the copper. The film theory, BTA for copper protective film is related to the presence and Cu20, to form Cu (I)-BTA protective film complexes can also be formed on the surface of the Cu0 Cu (I)-BTA complex protective film, which seed film covering performance is good; close to the outside of the metal, the metal surface and the corrosive medium separated, shape or insoluble in water and some organic solvent is a transparent cover film-forming film is strong, so that the metal is dissolved or substantially ionization reduced, played a role in protecting the metal. For example BTA mixed with benzylamine, not only to speed up the film speed, but also improves the corrosion ability. BTA with molybdate mixed use, the inhibition effect is doubled.

4, hydrogen peroxide: hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant to oxygen ions chloride Of removal, the use of concentration, depending on the rust on the circumstances, the remaining hydrogen peroxide decomposition slight heating to all the objects will not have any impact. Law and sesquicarbonate immersion method comparison: the processing time is short, more thorough removal of chloride ions. And local electrical erosion, oxidation of silver closed method, with hydrogen peroxide to vary in size rust powder, rust powder of different shades can be cleared, and the process is relatively simple to use wide.

5 acetonitrile method: 50%, 5% acetonitrile, 5% ethanol, add water to 10O%. This solution of acetonitrile and cuprous ions to form stable basic copper chloride, the solution is poor, can work in a short time. The downside is that this law soak a long time can cause darkening green patina, and acetonitrile vapors due to moderate toxicity, soaking the need for good ventilation or sealing measures.

6, silver oxide protection method: This method applies blotchy “powdery rust” localized corrosion artifacts. It is the use of silver oxide, cuprous chloride and after contact of water vapor in the air under the action of the silver film is formed approach angle, the closure exposed surface of cuprous chloride, in order to control the purpose of corrosion bronze. First, a mechanical method will produce “powdery rust” root a white wax bar cuprous chloride removed until you see the fresh copper until the corrosion area with acetone wipe, and then with ethanol into a paste of silver oxide Excluding some padding, so that did not tick the net cuprous chloride reacted with silver oxide contacts to form a corner silver chloride film to prevent the role of the bronze stabilized. But this method after filling the pits after tan colored spots formed on the surface, but also for treatment with color.

7, deionized water law: For general cleaning of bronze can be a 60 ℃ 40 ℃ deionized or distilled water rinse repeatedly corrosion of bronze, can wash away the chlorine ions without changing the bronze patina.

8, a mixed solution of citric acid and thiourea Method: 5% citric acid, 1% aqueous solution of thiourea (PH = O.95) Clear local hazardous rust, then l% NaHco3 solution and residual reagents.

Since the Tang Dynasty Tang Dynasty costumes to adopt an open policy, Western, Tibetan costumes eclectic, so “muddy hat”, “when the world makeup” to be popular. This is the history of ancient Chinese costumes third great revolution. Fashion big change from the previous two The difference is, this time by the exchange of clothing large north-south direction to the flow of things. Costume hierarchy of power system is a symbol of feudal society, feudal ruling class as a spiritual pillar of Confucianism, put Zuxian Cheng abide by the law as a filial stressed dressed system must follow the traditional method, especially as big dress vestments and robes, not abandoned relics of kings, so called canonic; it has great conservative and closed. Court everyday clothing called uniforms, uniforms with period features. Gaozu Li Yuan (AD 618 to 636) in Takenori seven years (AD 624) enacted new laws that the famous “Takenori order”, which includes clothing precepts, namely, the emperor’s clothes fourteen, Queen’s clothing three , the Crown Prince of clothes six, Crown Princess of serving three, the ministers of clothing XXII, Ming Fu’s clothing six.

Tang Dynasty costumes colorful costumes reason, there are many factors, first in the Sui Dynasty foundation. Sui dynasty reign is short, but the silk industry has made great progress. Literature remember Emperor “SENKUAN clothing to adorn their evil,” he not only gorgeous concubines envoys under dressed, even when the ship canal tow rope travel pass for the silk by the system are the two sides of trees with green silk decorated their willow to color silk tie its flowers, enough to see the amazing silk production.
To the Tang Dynasty, silk origin throughout the country, regardless of yield and quality are more than the previous generation, so as to novelty splendid Tang Dynasty costumes provide a solid material foundation. Coupled with extensive contacts among peoples of all countries to take widely absorb cultural attitudes, and make the national costume mastery, and thus able to launch numerous new wonderful crown clothing. Tang clothing, especially women’s clothing, not only for the time people are advocating, and even today people to watch the Tang Dynasty costumes, Yijue excited. There is no affectation of the state, there is no tweaking reserved posture. Show in front of people, is the vibrant, exciting and brings ecstasy costumes. Its color nor gaudy not take, a variety of brighter colors competing rival, unwilling sparse lonely, plus gold and silver mixed in, the markedly dazzle people’s eyes. Its decorative motifs, all birds in pairs, flowers, Yoshimitsu radiance, joyfully lively, described as a large Tang Shengjing faction.

Tang Tang Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty costumes, the northern nomadic Huns, Khitan, Uighur many contacts with the Central Plains, coupled with the Silk Road camel caravans flocked to the Tang Dynasty costumes great impact. The so-called barbarian, is on the northern ethnic Han people as a derogatory, here we talk about history, time being retained at the title. Comes with the barbarian culture, especially Hu Fu – this includes India, Persia, and many other ethnic groups, including ethnic attire, so Tang Dynasty women refreshing. Then, like a gust of wind swept through the Central Plains Zhucheng Hu Fu hot, especially for Chang’an and Luoyang Sheng, whose jewelry is also the most heathen colors. Yuan Zhen’s poem: “Since Hu Ji from dust, hair vellus Xingshan Montreal Luo, female women learn Hu Hu makeup, Kabuki into sound business Hu Yue Hu Hu Hu Ji Hu tone makeup, fifty years actually Fun Park.”
Emperor loves dance Hu Yue Wu, Yang, Wu Lushan are dance experts, Bai “Everlasting Regret” in the “Soul of Hero” is the kind of dance HU. Otherwise muddy off dance, dance deadwood, Hu Han eddies and other right music, dance, costumes and other arts have a greater impact. Written at that time, “study tour Chenqie everyone turn” exciting scene is also conceivable. Yao Runeng “Lushan deeds” in mind, “Tempo beginning, the swim cap Wu Shishu good clothes, the woman then the hairpin step shake, clothing system Gum sleeves narrow.” Hu Fu on the image of a woman found in stone line drawing or other monuments . Than the typical person, that is worn on the muddy hat, dressed in tight sleeves lapel tight robe, under the trousers, waist and foot climbing boots. “Yu Fu Zhi” cloud, “and after the clothes were men and boots such as Xi, Khitan’s clothing” When for such attire.

The culture of India and Iran during the absorption and integration of our culture, from frescoes, stone, sculpture, calligraphy, painting, silk embroidery, pottery and clothing among fully reflected.
Tang Dynasty costumes
Costume system
Outline
Chinese Costume system has been initially established in the Xia and Shang Dynasties, to the gradual improvement of the Zhou dynasty, Spring and Autumn turn be incorporated Reiji. The Tang Dynasty, Costume institutional development to improve the very rich, on the later and abroad have a profound impact.
On the Official Clothing broadly divided into two categories, one for the worship of government affairs activities with major clothing (vestments or robes); a class of more general social activities and work clothing (male clothing or uniforms).

Which like the lack of hip gowns, 〓 crotch semi-arm, 〓 clothing, pants, etc. are examples of big mouth. Lack of hip garment gown is straight, left and right slit-like robe, also known as the four 〓 (sound essays, clothing edge also) shirt, it can and Fu head, leather belts, boots matching long Yao has become the main form of clothing Tang man.
The development of the ancient Tang Dynasty robes made of traditional forms of dark clothing at collar stand, cuffs, clothing garment edge affixed edges are straight cut clothes around the body, and the lower edge of the front Houjin the cloth with a whole lot of cross-connected into a cross gown the waist with a leather belt tight, sleeves and wide sleeves of straight sleeve type two, narrow tight straight sleeves called 〓 clothing, “Release name” it “speak cuff clip straight, shaped like a ditch too.” This styles to facilitate activities. Sleeved garment styles can be manifested large luxurious chic style, called T-shirt, robe, since the Emperor on down to the servant labor can wear. Fu head, round neck, leather belts, boots, long Yao matching costumes, has been handed to the Ming Dynasty.
In short, the Tang Dynasty Baiguan mufti (Note: Supplements should not enter into rituals associated with significant morning sessions) inherited pre-production for the round robes, due to the lower edge of front and rear flaps connected with a whole cloth into a cross gown, so called round neck gown gowns. Tang Dynasty, Tang Dynasty when the impact of the Hu family fashion popular narrow tight straight sleeve design since the late Tang Hu Feng, the popular tradition undress big sleeves. The first coat with matching uniforms is Fu head, foot clothing as upi Kuni boots, accessories are belts, fish (turtles) bags.
Gaozu Li Yuan Yu Takenori seven years (AD 624) enacted new laws that the famous “Takenori order”, which includes clothing precepts, namely, the emperor’s clothes fourteen, Queen of serving three, the Crown Prince of serving six, Prince Edward Fei’s clothing three, the ministers of clothing XXII, Ming Fu’s clothing six. Content Basic inherited Sui old system, the emperor’s 14 kinds of fur garments for the big crown, Dagon crown, Bi crown, Cui Mian, linen crown, mysterious crown, crown Babel, Buddhists cloth crown, Wu Bian, Bian suits, black mediated conical cap, white Shamao, flat towel conical cap, white exactly. There are six types of clothing Dagon prince crown, crown excursion, public service, his post, Bian clothes, flat towel conical cap. Ministers of the 22 kinds of clothing has Dagon crown, Bi crown, Cui Mian, linen crown, mysterious crown, flat crown, crown MG, Wu Bian, Bian clothing, JinXian crown, crown excursion, France crown (haitai crown), Alpine crown (side note crown), the Commission Maung crown (with leather Benten same system), they are not the crown, flat towel conical cap, black conical cap referral, referral conical cap, flat green towel conical cap, with clothing (robes), from the provincial services (public clothing), wedding dress; Queen of the three clothing has groceries, clothing, Ju Yi, Tian Chai bare clothing; Crown Princess of three kinds of clothing has Yu Zhai, Ju Yi, Tian Chai ceremony clothing. There are six types of clothing Ming Fu Zhai Yi, Tian Chai ritual clothing, ritual clothing, public service, short-sleeve dress jacket, flower hairpin ceremony clothing. These types of clothing sets methods and taking those objects and taking occasion, “Tang Zhi car service” has a detailed description.
TangGaoZu provisions ministers had uniforms, three products with purple Prince Dake (large floral) rungra production, with jade belt hook. Wupinyishang with vermilion small families (small groups flower) rungra production, belt with grass golden hook. Six products in yellow (lemon yellow) double Kushiro (geometric pattern) Aya production, belt hook with a rhino. Seven items with a green turtle, two giant, ten flowers (both geometric pattern) Aya production, with the silver Kua (buckle) Nine mixed with blue silk damask production, belt hook with Yu stone. Emperor Li Shimin (AD 627 to 649 years) period, the Quartet pacification, national prosperity, he proposed Yanwuxiuwen, promote sandwiches, thanks to ministers Jinde crown, colors and uniforms for Baiguan made finer requirements. According to the “New Tang car service records,” written, Mishina shirt purple robe above, beam Jin belt, thirteen Kua (mounted on the belt with the belt hanging Die 〓 tools, and decorative effect). Four products deep scarlet robe, gold belt eleven Kua. Five products robe light Fei, gold belt ten Kua. Six products robe dark green, silver with nine Kua. Seven items gown light green, silver with nine Kua. Eight chemicals deep blue gown, pale green gown Nine, Yu Shi with eight Kua. Flow of foreign officials and commoners clothes yellow, copper and iron with seven Kua (General Chapter reign has banned foreign officials and commoners stream yellow dress has see above). Tang Emperor Longshuo years (AD 662 years), for fear of eight items chaos purple robes and dark blue (indigo ancient times with the resulting dip deep reddish blue shade, so the fear mixed with purple), changed to green. Duke since the Spring and Autumn Period (685 BC and 643 BC, reigned) start wearing purple, before deciding to purple for the top grade of clothing color pattern, to the Song has been changed. Big Red to the Ming Dynasty was only replaced.
Between the Sui and Tang, Chinese costumes the most obvious feature is the two-track system. In a large sacrifice scene, wearing traditional Han Chinese clothing. In peacetime, the Tang Dynasty is Hu Fu uniforms (ie Xianbei loading) systems. Tang national unity, economic prosperity, more open shape, increasingly ornate costumes. Tang women is characterized skirt, shirt, cape unity. Among women, appeared topless exposed arm of the image. In the tomb of Princess Yongtai east wall murals, there is a comb buns, bare-chested, Jianpi red silk, with yellow on the tight sleeves blouse, under a green robe, red waist belt hanging image of women in the Tang Dynasty, and thus ” dark pink chest ajar suspect snow “,” sit with Obi rayon fiber grass skirts that scraped plum line “With more vivid understanding. Slow beam Luoqun half Luxiong, not what people can do. In the Tang Dynasty, only the identity of the person to wear chest shirt, Princess Yongtai can be half-naked chest, showgirl can be half-naked chest in order to please the ruling class, while the civilians house half-naked woman is not allowed to chest. At that time, Tang half bare-chested somewhat similar to modern Western dress evening dress, but not allowed to expose the shoulders and back.
Tang Costume system in order to implement Takenori after are constantly revised and improved on it Cheng Zhouhan tradition, supporting everything from clothing, clothing materials, decoration and color and other aspects of the formation of the complete series.
Developing
In the Emperor cause six (610) only provides that “Wupinyishang through the purple, green Liupinyixia combined Fei.” To further consolidate the Tang Dynasty uniforms etiquette, developed a detailed precepts format. Grade difference is mainly reflected in two aspects: product color system and chapter service system.
(1) Commodities color system (Concurrent belt system):
Magenta systems to officials scattered with different grades of officials in different colors, materials, patterns robes system (and to the provisions Belt Accessories)
Takenori four years (621) to develop a preliminary specification of uniforms, August Edict: “Mishina above, Dake silk damask and Romania, the color purple, decorated with jade. Wupinyishang small silk damask and Law Division, the color of Zhu , decorated with gold. six items above (under), silk clothing, miscellaneous small Aya, cross shuttle, dual Xun, the color yellow. six seven items decorated with silver products. eight chemicals Nine Tou stone. ”
Zhenguan four years (630) Secondary Xiazhao revised: “Mishina more clothes purple, four products Wupinyishang clothing Fei, six to seven items, green products, green eight items Nine to the woman from the husband of color. Still CCS Yellow. ”
Zhenguan years (631) Edict served more than seven items tortoiseshell pair Aya giant ten flowers, the color green. Nine more clothing and miscellaneous small damask cloth, the color green.
Lantern first year (674) Chao: “a product less bureaucratic and bring towel, count bags, knives, grindstones its military attache, want with towel, count bags Zheyi listen. Wen attache purple dress above the third grade, Jin belt. Four Commodities clothes deep scarlet and gold belt. five eyeshadows light Fei, a golden girdle. six eyeshadows dark green, light green dress seven items and silver belt. eight eyeshadows dark blue, light blue Nine clothing and Tou rock band. ”
– Thus laying the basis Tang clothing color system. Later emperors only be adjusted timely –
Civilization first year (684) will be replaced by Bi cyan eighty-nine goods (because blue cloth with dark blue indigo repeatedly dip resulting reddish shade, easy and purple mixed).
Jingyun years (710-711): “Nine less than a product, according to civil and military Lantern story with towel, count bags. Attache salty with seven things Wei x (x-generation ancient word can not enter, glyph class dispatch), and foot its belt, a product the following Wupinyishang and gold. six seven items and silver items. eight chemicals Nine shared Tou stone. ”
Wo six (832) Pushe Wang Ya quasi-imperial: “Prince and above the third grade, if two queens, clothing color with purple, decorated with jade. Wupinyishang, clothing color with Zhu, decorated with gold. Than seven items, clothing color green, decorated with silver. Nine more clothing color with green, decorated with Tou stone. should serve green and young people, that by ministry officials and food into real Paul, its use Hoon officer and MG, straight Zhu Division By origin goods, still the sword, grind, Fun handkerchief. flow foreign officials and commoners clothing color with yellow, decorated with copper and iron. their various pro Asaga party costumes, each depending on the prospective product, Zhu Division one product, two products serving Jade Hsu and pass rhinoceros, Mishina Xu clothing flower rhinoceros and Class rhinoceros and jade, and served Bik who promised CCS green. “while dressed in uniforms patterns system was further standardization:” Mishina above Xu served falcon title Seocho, geese title ribbon, and on the peacock damask gown jacket Fourth grade five items, Xu Huang delivery service branches Aya. Liupinyixia often Participation Officer, Xu Ling nest serving small groups, and no pattern damask, every single organization and other organizations charge. addition to color outside, should queer different system damask gown jacket, etc., and forbidden. ”
In conclusion of the color in the order of: Purple – Fei – Green – Green (later changed to Bi).
The belt ornaments descending order: Jade – Gold – Silver – Tou stone.
As for the yellow, before Tang Dynasty, yellow can pass down clothing, such as Sui Zhaoshi soldier clothes yellow. Tang that the color red yellow approximation sun, Day is the symbol of the Emperor dignities, “Heaven goes for the day, the country goes for the king.” So red yellow (ocher yellow) in addition to the Emperor, the subjects can not arrogate to use. The provisions for the emperor ocher yellow uniforms exclusive colors. Tang Emperor Li Zhi (AD 650 to 683) at the beginning, the flow foreign officials and commoners can wear normal yellow (such as lemon yellow shade colder), to mid-General Zhang Tang Emperor reign (AD 668), fear of yellow mixed with ocher yellow, the official China Yellow River is prohibited. Since then it has become a yellow symbol of the Emperor.
After Gaozong, purple Mishina officer for the clothing color; pale crimson robes for the five product color, dark green robes for the six product color, light green for the seven items robes color, dark blue for the eight products robes color, light Nine robes for the color cyan, yellow and plebeian person extrauterine clothing color. Costume also has a great influence on neighboring countries. For example, Japan and obedience color costume greatly learned the essence of Korean clothing is also inherited from the formal costume strengths. Costume dress jacket soft lines long, very beautiful comfortable, the materials used are mainly silk, so it’s clothing and “soft” and “Rejoice” with. Costume itself bewildering variety, good change from appearance to absorb foreign costumes decorated with bold features, and more to Central Asia, India, Iran, Persia, and the North and Western alien costumes as a reference, to enrich the Tang Dynasty costumes culture, making the Tang Dynasty costumes more abundant mining magnificent, unique singular scene in the history of China in a wonderful dress, attracted worldwide attention.
Tang dress patterns changed in the past the kind of talent divine creative thinking, with real flowers, grass, fish, insects for sketching, but the traditional dragon and phoenix pattern has not been excluded, which is also affected by the imperial power and divine decision. Then clothing pattern design tends to freedom of expression, plump, fat artistic style. Late period costumes pattern is more delicate and beautiful. Bird costume pattern, trim patterns, floral silk yarn dress patterns in soft clothing, really flowers, Zhengyan Sheng. As Five Wang said: “Luo Shan heavily embroidered leaf, silver goose Jinfeng each one clump, every two hours to dance Pina, long live the word among the Pacific.” Today, we see these beautiful luxury dress patterns, are painters who in Dunhuang Grottoes with hard labor for the people after the image of preserved valuable information. The development of the Tang Dynasty costumes overall development, then the dress pattern design tends to freedom of expression, full, gorgeous, mellow, shoes, hats, towels, jade, hair, makeup, jewelry performance, are illustrated in this features.
Tang brought forward inherited Zhou, Warring States, the style of Wei and Jin Dynasties, Zhou Rong designs on apparel rigorous stretch of the Warring States Period, Han crisp, Wei’s elegant as a whole, and on this basis, more luxurious, so clothing, dress patterns reached a historical peak on; Tang Dynasty costumes, dress patterns on the offspring remain in effect to this day. Interlocking pattern in the use of modern dress pattern, showing the traditional patterns combined with modern aesthetic sense implication arising.
It is worth mentioning that the Tang Dynasty clothing color system of government regulations, in real life there is no completely executed.

Pei were resumed during the fish of the system, but indiscriminate grant official synchronization, began to let loose the official Pei fish, fish bags just did not formally connected with clothing color uniforms and go to any of the solution to the fish bag. Ruizong fish bags will be made when the uniforms clothing color connected with: “with the purple by gold, the Fei by snow.”
Pei fish Xuanzong expand the scope of life after Xu Pei fish: “Kaiyuan early, with Madu Yu from five products were fake purple goldfish bags, governor, governor inferior goods by false Fei, fish bags, Wupinyishang calibration, test , and the judge all wear fish. Zhongshu Ling Zhang Jiazhen outs, Retirements who wear fish life, and naturally Baiguan tours Fei, purple, and fish bags will, that the chapter service. “- chapter service system to this perfect clear.
Zhang served institutionalized, Baiguan please scarlet, purple’s clothing, the court must pass a rigorous assessment, and based on the specific situation of officials of distinction, who had just qualified granted. In addition, awarded by Late for chapter service conditions of chaos and further from institutional to be regular.

Special – Women’s large-sleeved shirt
Speaking on behalf of the Tang Dynasty female clothing, “female big-sleeved shirt” can be described as one. This term refers to undress big sleeved big sleeves style, such as Wei and Jin Dynasties men generally wear big sleeves elegant tunic, suave, until Southern Dynasties period, this tunic is still the favorite men at all levels, to become fad. But we are here to talk about the big-sleeved shirt, specifically refers to the characteristics of the Tang Dynasty woman wide sleeve dress. It is more than the usual sleeved coat also large, in general or in the garment draped or tied outside, the atmosphere elegant. Fully reflect the prosperous Tang Dynasty, grand, atmospheric cultural identity, showing a gorgeous open then aesthetic fashion. Nowadays many people think of the “wide oversized fairy clothing” basically derived from such large-sleeved shirt.
Interestingly, a statement said: This wide coat-style rise, but with attention to the narrow Hu Fu a relationship. Tangshi Guo Li heyday, foreign exchanges and prosperity, Hu Fu at this time into the Central Plains. However, if the more laissez-faire Hu Fu Sheng, there is the risk of loss of self soaked culture. Although Datang mightiest quite confident of cultural influence, but still some people worry that uncontrolled follow Hu Feng bring some negative impact. So Japan for two years in May Ding Hai Day, Tang Wenzong sent eunuchs to princesses announced a decree: henceforth called on every day, not widely inserted hairpin comb, do not wear short narrow clothes.
Hu Feng Tang Wenzong can not seem to tolerate over the world trend. He believes that the vast Chinese characteristics should belong to China attire, how sought after reimbursing barbarian costume it? Moreover, no other short Doublet men and women, a lot of people unhappy. So, he made a decree requires princesses in the audience of the day, to wear clothes representative of China’s tolerance to doing world example. Zong, the relatively large ladies style began to rise. Ladies feel the atmosphere of this beautiful undress, beginning in sleeves and skirts are willing to use a lot of good fabric, their length and width than the Tang Dynasty when more than one times. The first is the pursuit of large overcoats gorgeous, plus stickers to a more relaxed clothing unlined direction. Some aristocratic women wearing beautiful dress, skirt tied with Weigela chest, wide hem care on the ground, the upper body does not wear thick underwear, and instead a thin Shayi, romantic attitudes to women peculiar charm to break the traditional closed.
Talking about women’s Tang wind-sleeved shirt, can not fail to mention the “Wearing Ladies”, which is quite a big-sleeved shirt open an exaggeration: beauty dress with bare shoulders, upper body straight Phi a big sleeves Leno shirt, light cover breasts, causing the upper body skin faintly revealed. As painter tactics realism, both truthfully portray the Tang Dynasty delicate transparent clothing, and vividly depict women that soft shoulder and arm. Zhou Fen “inertia beam Luoshan half bare-chested” and other poems, paintings that depict such attire.

“Wearing Ladies’ color on silk, as the Tang Dynasty painter Zhou Fang, a pen and simple. Artistically quaint. Now in the possession Liaoning Provincial Museum, describing the aristocratic women spring and summer flowers garden scene, the picture painted ladies of the quiet life. They gorgeous extravagance brilliant play in the courtyard, the action leisurely Nian Hua, shoot butterfly, dog show, tours crane, Xing Xu, lazy sitting, doing nothing, ladies holding fan facies from. Its color-imparting skills, level clarity, facial halo color, clothing decoration, are his best Handicraft conflict. Translucent veil of soft, skin Wet shiny, all painted resemblance, showing a high degree of artistic skills and generalization capability.
Ladies Shayi dress and flower bun was the costumes, fashionable buns on the hairpin large peony, jasmine inserted under the black backdrop, look graceful, bright. Painting depicts the aristocratic women in the atrium walk flowers, catching butterflies the scenes. Figure character costumes, and other “law-abiding” different image, such as wearing a large flower, wearing a transparent Shayi etc., are rare novelty attire.
As the “Wearing Ladies’ clothing openness even in modern opinion is very bold, but also far more than his contemporaries wrapped wrapped in layers of medieval Western Europe, resulting in its social reality has been controversial. From now unearthed a large number, the late Tang Dynasty figurines of view, the painting ladies clothing reflected the most open women’s fashion culture. Control literature, this dress is in the style of late Tang Dynasty, and has been handed to the Five Dynasties.
Custom – Female with men
Tang clothing women with men in China’s long feudal society, is relatively rare phenomenon. “Within the Book of Rites” has been specified, “gender barrier clothes.” Despite the fact that can not be so absolute, but women with men, often is not considered keep the Women. While before Tang Han costumes when there are small differences between men and women of the phenomenon, but that does not belong to women with men, only in a very relaxed atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty, women with men is possible become a common practice, even so, should also be part of the cause of attributed to the impact of nomads. Impact of alien costumes at the Central Plains, the vast majority are ethnic clothing immediately. Those rugged body frame, valiant attire, as well as strong and vigorous horses, Tang women dress creates a sense of immersion impact, while creating a fit woman with men atmosphere. “Old Tang Yu Fu Zhi” contains “or have a husband, clothes, boots, sweaters, and hierarchy inside and outside Sri Lanka has consistently carry on” has been clearly documented Housemaid with men scenarios. “New Tang Five Elements Chi” mind “within the feast tasted the Emperor, Princess Taiping paclitaxel jade, soap on a towel folded Romania, with numerous grind seven things, dance in Dili before.
“Old Tang Yu Fu Zhi” contains “or have a husband, clothes, boots, sweaters, and hierarchy inside and outside Sri Lanka has consistently carry on” has been clearly documented Housemaid with men scenarios. “New Tang Five Elements Chi” mind “within the feast tasted the Emperor, Princess Taiping paclitaxel jade, soap on a towel folded Romania, with numerous grind seven things, dance in Dili before. Emperor and later laughed and said” women must not be attache, What this dress? ‘”see, admire the emperor also hold tolerant attitudes, and did not scold her daughter not Shurei France. Although this move some Shichong spoiled Princess Taiping, but also illustrates the Tang Dynasty women with men has emerged case.
Women with men, especially in the atmosphere of Datang Kaiyuan Tianbao prevalent. “Ancient Chinese Notes” remember “to Tianbao years, scholar’s wife, her husband boots shirt whip cap, inside and outside are one body.” “New Tang Shih-Chuan” in mind, “I have heard that the ban gold brocade robe two birds, Fortunately, spa and Yang Xi reign of clothes. “It can be seen, when the woman imitation men, dressed in men’s quite common.
Custom – Open and tied
In the tomb of Princess Yongtai east wall murals, there is a comb buns, bare-chested, Jianpi red silk, with yellow on the tight sleeves blouse, under a green robe, red waist belt hanging image of women in the Tang Dynasty, and thus ” dark pink chest ajar suspect snow “,” sit with Obi rayon fiber grass skirts that scraped plum line “With more vivid understanding.
Slow beam Luoqun half Luxiong, not what people are like that. In fact, still in the Tang Dynasty women feudal ethics constraints, only a special talent piercing identity thoracotomy shirt. Paintings can be half-naked human breast, that is kept in the inner chamber; showgirl who half-naked chest, is based on the body to please the ruling class. The civilian population is still not the house half-naked woman in the chest. At that time, Tang half bare-chested somewhat similar to modern Western dress evening dress, but not allowed to expose the shoulders and back.
“Semi-bare-chested,” paintings, and “female with men,” the case, it seems from the reflection of the degree of openness of social thought at that time. So many people believe that the Tang Dynasty women thus open and free. But this is only a one-sided understanding. In fact, after Wu Zetian, Tang spotlight social situation of women increasingly harbor grudges, “dutiful, keep the Women” as the official home for the female members of Han’s usual requirements. Examine the ancient feudal culture established regulations for women given constraints, many books on doctrine for the Tang Dynasty.
Although the social status of women in the pursuit of the Tang Dynasty appeared blooming period, but it is only short-lived history of view. “Going out” approach is only to please men tend to indulge the flesh master power elite, and another on the social status of the call right then quickly lost in the patriarchal customs and traditions down.

For example, Japan and obedience color costume greatly learned the essence of Korean clothing is also inherited from the formal costume strengths. Costume dress jacket soft lines long, very beautiful comfortable, the materials used are mainly silk, so it’s clothing and “soft” and “Rejoice” with. Costume itself bewildering variety, good change from appearance to absorb foreign costumes decorated with bold features, and more to Central Asia, India, Iran, Persia, and the North and Western alien costumes as a reference, to enrich the Tang Dynasty costumes culture, making the Tang Dynasty costumes colorful magnificent, unique style bizarre scene in the history of China in a wonderful dress, attracted worldwide attention.
Hu Fu Pop
Tang Dynasty is China’s political, economic highly developed arts and cultural prosperity of the times, is the splendor of feudal culture of the era. Tang Wei and Sui unified chaotic disunited, the establishment of a unified, powerful nation on foreign trade developed, the great development of productive forces, a long time peace and prosperity. Especially when the Tang Dynasty to become Asia’s economic and cultural center of the nation period, it is China’s most glorious page in the history of culture. The culture of India and Iran during the absorption and integration of Chinese culture, from the mural, stone carvings, sculptures, books, paintings, silk embroidery, pottery and clothing among fully reflected.
Between the Sui and Tang, Chinese clothing is characterized by the emergence of a two-track system. Sacrificial scene in a large traditional Han Chinese clothing consistently maintained. At other times, Hu Fu (ie Xianbei installed) system is also integrated into the service of the Tang Dynasty Shiguan.
Tang Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, the northern nomadic Huns, Khitan, Uighur many contacts with the Central Plains, coupled with the Silk Road camel caravans flocked to the Tang Dynasty costumes great impact. The so-called barbarian, is on the northern ethnic Han people a call, we are here to talk about history, time being retained at the title. Comes with the barbarian culture, especially Hu Fu – this includes India, Persia, and many other ethnic groups, including ethnic attire, so Tang Dynasty women refreshing. Then, like a gust of wind swept through the Central Plains Zhucheng Hu Fu hot, especially for Chang’an and Luoyang Sheng, whose jewelry is also the most heathen colors. Yuan Zhen’s poem: “Since Hu Ji from dust, hair vellus Xingshan Montreal Luo, female women learn Hu Hu makeup, Kabuki into Hu Hu Yue ….. sound works and Hu Hu Hu Ji tone makeup, actually fifty years Fun Park. “Emperor loves dance Hu Yue Hu, Yang, Wu Lushan are dance experts, Bai” Everlasting Regret “in the” Soul of Hero “is the kind of dance HU. Otherwise muddy off dance, dance deadwood, Hu Han eddies and other right music, dance, costumes and other arts have a greater impact. Written at that time, “study tour Chenqie everyone turn” exciting scene is also conceivable. Yao Runeng “Lushan deeds” in mind, “Tempo beginning, the swim cap Wu Shishu good clothes, the woman then the hairpin step shake, clothing system Gum sleeves narrow.” Hu Fu on the image of a woman found in stone line drawing or other monuments . Than the typical person, that is worn on the muddy hat, dressed in tight sleeves lapel tight robe, under the trousers, waist and foot climbing boots. “Yu Fu Zhi” cloud, “and after the clothes were men and boots such as Xi, Khitan’s clothing” When for such attire.
“New Tang Five Kingdoms” is credited with “Tempo beginning, the nobility and the Idea is good for the Hu Fu Hu Hat” facts. Tang called “Hu Fu,” not only refers to the ethnic clothing, also includes a large number of exotic clothing. Tang is the history of the development of China’s feudal society the peak period, when the capital Chang’an, not only is China – the economic and cultural center, but also the world-famous city and cultural center of things. According to historical records, and the Tang government between countries, there have been more than 300, at the time of Chang’an City is not only inhabited by the Han people, the Uighur people, Kucha people Nanzhao people, there are a lot of foreigners, such as Japan people, Silla (Korea) people, Persia (Iran), Arabs, Vietnamese and Indians and so on. These fraternal peoples and foreign messengers gathered Chang’an, taking suction from the Chinese culture a lot of cream, until today, in east China region some countries, such as Japan, Korea and other places, still retains the traditional Chinese clothing system. Chinese people from alien cultures get a lot of useful things, Hu Fu popular in the Central Plains, is a concrete reflection. And more than ever, Hu Fu Tang advocating a notable feature is that women with Hu Fu are many. This phenomenon is closely related with the prevailing cultural life, especially Hu dance pop, change of clothing for women brought a great impact.

Then clothing pattern design tends to freedom of expression, plump, fat artistic style.
“New Tang car service” records civilian robes fancy, there is a long ribbon luan title, cranes title fungus, Seocho title magpie, geese title of dignity, Jun falcon title flower, ground yellow cross sticks and other names.
Late period costumes pattern is more delicate and beautiful. Bird costume pattern, trim patterns, floral silk yarn dress patterns in soft clothing, really flowers, Zhengyan Sheng. As Five Wang said: “Luo Shan heavily embroidered leaf, silver goose Jinfeng each one clump, every two hours to dance Pina, long live the word among the Pacific.” Today, we see these beautiful luxury dress patterns, are painters who in Dunhuang Grottoes with hard labor for the people after the image of preserved valuable information. The development of the Tang Dynasty costumes overall development, then the dress pattern design tends to freedom of expression, full, gorgeous, mellow, shoes, hats, towels, jade, hair, makeup, jewelry performance, are illustrated in this features.
Tang brought forward inherited Zhou, Warring States, the style of Wei and Jin Dynasties, Zhou Rong designs on apparel rigorous stretch of the Warring States Period, Han crisp, Wei’s elegant as a whole, and on this basis, more luxurious, so clothing, dress patterns reached a historical peak on; Tang Dynasty costumes, dress patterns on the offspring remain in effect to this day. Interlocking pattern in the use of modern dress pattern, showing the traditional patterns combined with modern aesthetic sense implication arising.

Go international
Since the modern, Chinese musical development has been the influence of Western music in the form of music and musical instruments on both the content of the reform, the suona is also affected.
(A) National Orchestra (Orchestra)’s position: Modern Chinese imitation of Western Symphony Orchestra established the nation, but in the Chinese traditional musical instruments, brass instruments relatively lacking, when writing songs when the originally Woodwind suona, assume a similar role Symphony in Brass, so suona much needed momentum for the majestic curved segments. And because the traditional suona range smaller (especially the lack of bass), and the other semitone pitch is difficult to control, so the oboe and other instruments to imitate the keys, the development of additional key alto suona, plus key tenor suona, plus key bass suona and other instruments to compensate for pipe National Orchestra of deficiencies in the bass part.

Due to various regions manufacturer’s different shapes and different ways according to Kong, the most common plus key alto suona and sound, common range of 18 degrees generally sound.
Suona the best features is its ability to control the whistle to make the mouth volume, pitch, timbre changes, and the use of various techniques, which makes hand suona pitch control is very difficult, on the other hand makes it sound volume changes large, and can be controlled by the pitch, making very satisfactory portamento, making the suona become very strong performance instrument.

Is so simple, even some simple structures, but almost all of band music can play tricks, and can even mimic singing, chirping birds, and so wonderful voice. Several parts of the suona open play, to imitate different characters, respectively, older students, the old low, artistes playful Smart, Beowulf’s brashness …… such a small instrument, can escape its own interpretation of the earthly passions .
Playing suona, also needs some skills, use your fingers to press the sound hole is completely filled. If the sound hole by lax and often the sound will not be permitted. Therefore, suona playing just the right atmosphere, has become a science. Playing suona often more cost gas, sound volume, the greater the higher the consumption. Generally playing together for a long time can not be non-stop performances, but trained performer, especially folk artists, blowing suona to each other than the rivalry is the lasting endurance. “Loop ventilation Law” is the most common method of playing, so play can make the atmosphere is always full of endless, you can make long uninterrupted continuation of tone, and even the whole song at one go.
Suona tuning rich and unusual. Colorful tuning, creating a rich and comprehensive suona. The current suona more into treble, midrange and bass three. Widespread use of treble suona, bass slightly rustling pronunciation thick; Alto area is energetic tone, bright, best at playing a variety of techniques, highly artistic expression and influence; treble pronunciation loud , dripping; highest note is sharp, shrill, mishandled it will become ugly noise, so rarely used. After a moment the plus key reform suona, the band has become a group of ethnic musical instruments sound, expressive richer.
Around the suona are different, there are large, small, rough, with soft, many types, usually in the bar divided into five different lengths. Small suona rod length is often 22 to 30 cm, soft tone, the most suitable for solo or ensemble, especially when it is together with the erhu and other stringed instruments ensemble, gently undulating, the more appealing. Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Hunan and Jiangxi provinces can find traces of it.
Used around the whistle is different, there are reeds, there are straw, but also useful insect glue brown purple shell (but blowing up very soft), sound can be described as unique. The suona rod length 32 to 40 cm, popular in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui area, sort of a small volume, used in dance accompaniment, very melodious. Big suona rod length 42 to 57 cm deep voice ambitious, like a hero born, ambition is an imposing appearance. In the northeast, along the northern Shanhaiguan and Jidong, rough suona is also playing a big big song is the best choice. Rod length 50 cm compared to the “big pole”, cypress woods a little shorter, popular in Hebei, Henan and Shandong area. The sound is crisp and bright clouds seem to be able poke see clear skies, it is mind refreshed. Cypress wood with a minor, as well as playing the sound to imitate the human singing opera, it is particularly handy. Sea flute length less than 20 cm, the components are small, small and exquisite, pronunciation but sharp loud, high-pitched Chongxiao. Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui along the instrumental ensemble is its best stage. There is also a rather special Minxi big suona, usually together with blowing out two outs, known as “public blow” and “blow.” Two suona the same structure, but in a slightly different length and thickness, “public” and “short”, “long”, “public” and “small”, “rough”, “public blow” sounds sweet, “blowing” pronunciation Low The vigorous, fit together, seamlessly.
Suona playing breathing method
Mastering the basic skills of breathing is one of the blowpipe music. General often say “gas footsteps full”, which means that the breath is enough “sound full” basis.
Better breathing method is “Nita breathing” in the inhale, lower abdomen inward contraction of the chest ribs outward expansion; inhale, not like the usual way using only the lungs breathing action, and basically used abdomen action to control the breath Jihuan, abdomen action of this feeling usually pay too little attention, for example, in a very tired require a large breath, breathe in there abdomen such action; Another example is when you cough also has abdominal movements. You can also try to place a candle on the far stronger regional and suck enough breath and blew it out in the course of this movement will feel greater abdominal movements, and it was realized thanks to the suction gas than usual when breathing increased a lot in the exhale breath is also more powerful, of course, playing the suona and Chuihuo not exactly the same, because the suona is generally inhale faster, be more; while projecting when such slow, much less, to pay attention to action to control the use of abdominal breath, so that it matches the needs of music played, this and blow fire breath when suddenly call to make is not the same, but in the chest and abdomen together for co-ordinated action breathe the point is the same.
Breathing exercises should pay attention to three points:
1, the breathing, the body has nothing to do with the part should be relaxed breathing. Breath to control, according to the need to use the gas, the general said, inhale to much faster; exhale less slower.
2, to maintain the coherence of expiratory and inspiratory Do not ranking breath began to suck completely after a second call tone, but should be in the first breath is not fully start smoking before the call to make a second breath, so as to continuity keep going.
3, in general, are breathing with the nose, only to grab the nose inhale the gas or not enough time, only with the mouth, nose while breathing.
Playing skills
1, cyclic ventilation France
Circulating ventilation is generally not used, but in some sustained playing long tones when used. Its method is: the power of control of belly breathing, breathing with the nose, exhale mouth. Nose breathing costal muster, abdominal contraction inside, run up the atmosphere, which is the pressure of the atmosphere with a belly to the mouth; then the requirements put out cheeks gradually discharged in the atmosphere, along with breathing, abdominal muscles gradually relaxed. When inhaling second breath and then repeat the same process. Pay attention to the first end of the process, or other control of the gas in the mouth before the call will finish second breath sucked into the nose, so as to make the process of convergence between two very consistent, did not get ventilation traces, well maintained sustained long tones. At the beginning of practice this breathing method, he may first prepare a reed and a bowl of water, and then the reed pipe inserted in the bowl, and in accordance with the above cycle approach to the rushes ventilation blowing straight reaches the water can continuously bubbling method is basically on the right. Enhancing so after practice on the suona, practicing sound eighth hole when the first blow, and then practice the other sounds.
2, the gas vibrato
Yin gas vibrato is a sound in the notes add “~” indicates. It’s playing is this: suck enough breath, abdominal breath and forced support for elastic contraction, resorted to slight fluctuations in tone generation, and its effects such as vibrato on a string. The vibrato can tune requires speed and strength difference. Commonly used in long tones, and sometimes it can show the volatility of different ethnic or local style.
3, tooth vibrato
Yin is also a tooth vibrato sound in the sound symbol “~” add “teeth” character to represent. Its method is to use the lower teeth playing gently vibrate whistle roots, so that given a trembling voice. The teeth chatter and more for playing opera, folk art and folk music in the style of strong. It can be divided into hard and soft flutter flutter two kinds: Hard chatter is in direct contact with the tooth root whistle, soft lips trembling put the root mat in between the teeth and whistle. Teeth often used in a vibrato sound on, then pay attention to the severity of the uniform fibrillation.
4, refers to the vibrato
Refers to the vibrato in the folk also called “refers to flowers,” is a very versatile skills. This technique is often used to show cheerful, warm emotions, and some of the lyrics of the song used to decorate some of the sounds in the performance of the feelings, the more varied. In the play, it’s obvious feature is the ability to listen to the two adjacent tones rapidly alternating. Alternate action although very rapidly, but corners have to very clear, otherwise it will become Yin sound effects (such as erhu vibrato effect), but lost the characteristics of vibrato. This is very important.
5, arm vibrato
Tremolo arm and finger vibrato sound effects are still differences. Its law is not playing with finger movements to play the sound hole, but with a quick shake to drive arm finger. Jitter is perpendicular to the woods, as it repeatedly pressing fingers closed and open sound hole leaving pronunciation fibrillation. This tremolo with dense smoothing characteristics, and the timing is more durable. Often used in playing passionate music section, particularly common in the sound on.
Exercise should pay attention to the following three points:
① fingers do not move, relies entirely on the arm movements to drive fingers.
② fingers can not lift off the sound hole is too high, just a little bit to leave.
③ fingers, wrist, forearm three to keep in a straight line.
Suona tuning method
Suona set the tone in the traditional method, the instrument is used as basis. Regardless of size or length of woodwind thickness, all in full-press (press all the vents are on, which is the tube sound) called “the tune.” This is all played together Comrade suona a basic tune familiar name. But also because it is the beginner will use tone, so the folk artists terminology is called “the science.”
About this “the tone” in name is known all over the habit. But use other tone when, in the name of popular around there is very different. For example: On the first sound hole, some place called “capital transfer”; also some place called “six serving tone”. On second sound hole, some place called “Little palpable workers tune”; also some place called “Plum tune”. On the third sound hole, some place called
“Back tune”; also some place called “miscellaneous Where tone” and so on.
To illustrate the method for tuning purposes, a “seven inches” little suona is down, it’s the “tune” pitch equal to the center of the keyboard instrument “C” or “1.” Then, the scale arrangement which is “125456712” (see Figure 10), then to the scale of 1234567 seventy word for “CDEFGAB” seven tone tune name, the results of the “1 = e, 1 = D, i = E, 1: F, 1: G, 1: A, 1 = B “fingering each phoneme tone [5]

Pants
Ancient pants have two: one for the pants; one of Yun (Kun). “Wen said,” no hakama while Ku, said: “Ku, tibia clothes also, from the series boast sound (bitter cut it).” Yun, “said the text”: “Yun, heavy thick also, from the heart of the military sound (ancient Hun cut) Yun or from the clothes. “disparate sound and meaning. Hakama Ku sound and meaning shaped the same as those. “Book of Qin Feng no clothes,” “and the child with Ze” in Chak, for Yi words. “Wen said,” Again, he said, “PENG, Ku also, from the clothes cold provincial sound,” Spring and Autumn Annals, “said Zheng PENG and jacket (to ungodliness cut),” so hakama Ku Yi PENG four words, phonetic or equivalent or not. But clothing is one of tibia. Hakama [pants], “Release name”, saying: “hakama, cross it, two stocks do not have the cross.” “Jijiupian” Yan note reads: “hakama, that shin coat also, the larger that the inverted Dayton, small Called the school population. “said Long pants of two shares. Duan “note”: hakama, that is “now called hakama sets also” extremely wrong. Dress pants for the tibia at no files, old clothes shirt lower, or clothes connected to and elbow length, the shortest such as knee-length jacket also, can shelter under the tibia clothing is enough, no need to forward to the crotch of the pants. Today’s the chaps otherwise wrap pants, pants with ancient no, can not be confused. There are stalls of the pants, or thought Yun, one for Kun, was also problematic. Kun, “Release name”, saying: “Kun, and through it, and through his legs, also tied waist.” “Jijiupian” Yan note reads: “co crotch that the Kun, who is also the most personal.” Duan said Wen, Kun word Yiyue: “Today the full crotch pants, ancient Kun also, from its muddy words close together, said Yun, from its two Long cavities words, said indistinct, dialect, without Tong’s pants, that the calf. GAVIN: that Dubi Kun. “tailor Kun into an aggregate file, and the ancient pants vary, this pants with. In fact, Yan Kun into an aggregate file, and that segment is Dubi Kun Kun, into an aggregate file, as both the assumption is difficult to suddenly believe. Pants for the tibia clothing, hakama no crotch (this refers to the crotch, the non-poor pants crotch), above the knee Jie Wei Lu, two stocks among many no clothes, hanging clothes or skirts must rely thought shield, this ancient clothes width to length, or the origin of the shirt lower part of it. (Reference Huang Xianfan the “classics its Interpretation”)
Within the lower body of the dress robes, no early crotch, and later developed into a crotch of the pants, said Kun. War soldiers riding wear full crotch trousers called big hakama. Xi Hanshi Confucian women still wear a crotch hakama. When Emperor Han Zhao (87 BC to 75 years ago), Grand General Huo Guang autocratic, Shangguan Empress Huo Guang’s granddaughter, in order to thwart the other ladies intimate with the emperor, they bribed the medical officer to take good care of the body in the name of Emperor Han Zhao, palace life women wearing a crotch belt and tied in the front with “poor trousers”, the poor pants also known as “Gun crotch pants”, after a crotch pants will catch on.
