Which dynasty is the inscription on the bronze ware?

Bronze inscriptions were written in the Yin and Zhou Dynasties, especially the inscriptions cast on bronzes in the Yin and Zhou Dynasties. At that time, bronze was called gold, so it was also called bronze inscription. At the same time, because most of the characters on Zhong Ding bronzes are oral, the predecessors called this bronze inscription Zhong Dingwen.

Bronze inscriptions in Shang Dynasty, Western Zhou Dynasty, Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period. According to time, inscriptions on bronze can be divided into inscriptions on bronze in Shang Dynasty, inscriptions on bronze in Western Zhou Dynasty, inscriptions on bronze in Eastern Zhou Dynasty and inscriptions on bronze in Qin and Han Dynasties. The corresponding time is from 1300 to 1046, from 1046 to 077 1 year, from 770 to 222, from 22 1 year to 2 19 years.

Shang Dynasty was in the primary stage of inscriptions on bronze. Although bronzes had appeared at that time, not many were cast with inscriptions on bronze. The Western Zhou Dynasty belongs to the development stage of bronze inscriptions, and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty belongs to the heyday of bronze inscriptions. At that time, bronze inscriptions were widely used. Until the Qin and Han dynasties, the world was unified, and the characters used were changed to Xiao Zhuan, and bronzes were no longer cast with inscriptions.

Briefly describe the characteristics of bronze inscriptions.

Bronze inscriptions have been unearthed since the Han Dynasty and have been studied by scholars. Bronze inscriptions are the main materials for the study of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and are also the most precious materials for the study of pre-Qin history. Compared with Oracle Bone Inscriptions, Oracle Bone Inscriptions has thin strokes, more straight strokes and more twists, which is different from Fang Bi. Bronze brush strokes are fat and thick, with many curved pens and many lumps. There are different words in the inscriptions on bronzes. The content of memory is also very different. Its main content is mostly to praise the achievements of ancestors and princes, but also to record major historical events. For example, the famous Mao has 497 words, covering a wide range, reflecting the social life at that time. The content of inscriptions on bronze is a record of activities or events such as offering sacrifices, giving orders, imperial edicts, campaigns, hunting and covenants. All these reflect the social life at that time. The inscriptions on bronze inscriptions are neat and elegant, simple and heavy. Compared with Oracle Bone Inscriptions, they are more colorful. Bronze inscriptions are basically printed. These characters were discovered in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, when someone sent a tripod excavated in Fenyang to the palace, and Emperor Wu named it Ding Yuan. Later, Jin Wen made one discovery after another. Ouyang Xiu and Zhao Mingcheng were scholars in Song Dynasty. They were both good at writing, studying and recording inscriptions on bronze. The Mao inscription in the casting is very representative, with 32 lines and 497 words, which is the earliest bronze inscription unearthed. Mao's inscription is rigorous in structure, thin, smooth, even and neat, and it is a fine work in the bronze inscription. In addition, the inscription of Dahepan is also a masterpiece of bronze inscriptions.

Oracle Bone Inscriptions is written on tortoise shells or animal bones. Most of these Oracle Bone Inscriptions were used by Shang kings for divination, and they were called Oracle bones. In addition, it also includes some notes and inscriptions. Of course, Oracle Bone Inscriptions doesn't contain all the characters of the Yin Dynasty, and there are still characters engraved on Oracle Bone Inscriptions. The so-called bronze inscription refers to the words cast on the bronze. In the pre-Qin period, bronze was called "gold", so inscriptions on bronze were also called inscriptions on bronze. Bronze inscriptions became popular in the late Shang Dynasty and reached their peak in the Zhou Dynasty. As the two earliest known fonts in history, it is necessary for us to understand their characteristics. First, the so-called pictographic characters with high pictographic degree refer to the method of creating characters by depicting the shape of things. Ideographic characters "represent words in language and record the sound and meaning of words with glyphs". Looking at all kinds of characters in the world, pictographic characters are the most basic method at the beginning of word creation. Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, Sumerian cuneiform characters and American Mayan characters are all based on hieroglyphics. Dongba script of Naxi and Shui nationalities in China is the last hieroglyphics in the world. The combination of pictographic characters with images, images, images, sounds, notes and arguments is called "Six Books". They first appeared in Zhou Li? Sheriff? Baoshi

Pictograph, the original method of word-making, determines the similarity of early characters, that is, the level of pictograph. When the early ancestors were still in the stage of ignorance, they expressed the simplest meaning in the form of pictures, from which hieroglyphics evolved.

As early scripts, there are a lot of variant characters in Oracle Bone Inscriptions and Jinwen. "Variant characters are words with the same sound and meaning but different shapes. Strictly speaking, only words with exactly the same usage, that is, variants of a word, can be called variants. But generally speaking, variant characters often only have some words with the same usage. Strictly speaking, variants can be called narrow variants, and some words with the same usage can be called partial variants. Together, they are broad variants. " So variant forms include two situations, one is homonym variant forms. The so-called homonym means that the same word has different glyphs, which means that two or even more words have the same pronunciation and meaning, but different glyphs. For example, in Oracle Bone Inscriptions, (continued A 57 1, 3108,8585). These three words with different structures are all "Fu". Luo Zhenyu explained: "From the hands, you can show respect to the front, or save it, or together, which is the word' Fu' in later generations. This is a name of sacrifice in the business road. In the form of a zigzag, Fu is the respect of sacrifice." It is the shape of wine, the basic form of Fu characters and the main configuration of Fu characters. The wine statue is placed in front of the display, or in the shape of a drop of wine, but it changes around the main configuration, which also shows the important position of wine statue and wine in Shang Dynasty sacrifice.
