Research on the Contemporary Value and Innovative Transformation of Bronze Patterns in the Central Plains

Abstract

In order to explore the contemporary value of the Central Plains bronze patterns and the innovative transformation of the ware, this paper takes the bronzes of the Shang Dynasty (1600~1046 BC) as the research object and analyzes them. Collect data on pre-Qin bronzes through the Internet, and use a microscope to observe the patterns, materials, shapes, and ingredient content of bronzes. The thermal condition of the bronzes, as well as the overall mechanical equilibrium, are measured by infrared observation instruments. The results show that the material of pre-Qin bronzes is mainly bronze, containing a small amount of tin, lead and iron, and a large amount of oxide layer on the surface. The bronze shape is an outer opening, and the patterns are mainly dragon patterns, phoenix patterns and cloud patterns, which are mainly used for blessings, and are mainly square and round. Infrared tests have found that the thermal equilibrium of the bronze is related to the thickness of the bronze material. Therefore, the pattern of pre-Qin bronzes is single, but the meaning is clear, and it has the functions of praying for blessings and cooking, which has an enlightening effect on the innovative design of modern culture and creativity and enriches the connotation of culture and creativity.
