Copper ware. In ancient China, it mostly refers to bronze ware, which was popular from the late Neolithic Age to the Qin and Han Dynasties, and the most exquisite artifacts were from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. Small tools or ornaments first appeared. Bronze containers and weapons began to appear in the Xia Dynasty. In the middle of the Shang Dynasty, bronze ware was already rich in variety, with inscriptions and fine patterns. From the late Shang Dynasty to the early Western Zhou Dynasty, it was the heyday of bronze ware development. The shapes of the ware were diverse, thick and solemn, the inscriptions gradually became longer, and the patterns were complicated and gorgeous. Subsequently, the body of bronze ware began to become thinner and the decorations gradually simplified. From the late Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, due to the promotion and use of iron tools, copper tools became less and less. During the Han Dynasty, as porcelain and lacquerware entered daily life, the variety of copper containers decreased, the decoration was simple, mostly plain, and the body was thinner. Ancient Chinese bronze ware is a great contribution of our ancestors to human material civilization. Although from archaeological data, the appearance of Chinese bronze ware was later than some other places in the world, in terms of the scale of use of bronze ware, casting technology, modeling art and variety, no place in the world can compare with ancient Chinese bronze ware. This is also one of the reasons why ancient Chinese bronze ware occupies a unique position in the history of world art and attracts widespread attention.
