"Closed museum does not close the exhibition, online to see cultural relics"
Hello everyone, welcome to Baobo Micro Classroom! Today, Bao Bojun wants to explain to you a model instrument that can be called the bronze casting of the Western Zhou Dynasty - the Western Zhou Bo Ge Jie.
It is a wine container, the shape of the vessel is commonly oval, deep abdomen drooping, high circle foot, ribbon lifting beam and body with a ring socket, the lid in the center of the towering head-like gripper. Ornamental decoration is gorgeously full of cloth, commonly known as "full of flowers", four high-sided edges from the cover of the vessel to the circle foot, the body is divided into four areas, the ornamental layer is clear, dense, the lines are smooth, divided into four layers from the inside to the outside: with the cloud and thunder pattern lining the complex and gorgeous; the bas-relief dragon pattern looking back, the arched body curly tail, dense and elegant; the high relief of the large gluttonous animal face, the huge mouth, the curled horn, mysterious majesty; the round carved bull's head and sheep's head curled horns, the snout is prominent, the image is vivid and vivid, both realistic and eye-catching. The whole instrument is exquisitely shaped, and the proportions of each part are coordinated, which has the solemnity and thickness of the bronze and does not lose its agility. In the inner sole and inside the inscription 2 lines of the inscription a total of 6 characters: "Bo Ge Cha (Zuo) Bao Zun Yi" "Bo Ge" is the name of the owner of the copper, for the (bowfish) kingdom of a generation of monarchs.
Berkech is known for its rich and ornate ornamentation and superb and precise casting technology. The dignified and elegant shape, the tightly fastened vessel and lid, and the lifting beam with the right angle of movement are all thanks to the skillful and exquisite casting skills of the craftsmen. The beam of the Berkech must be turned 30° angle, the lid can be opened, and the wine can be put in, which is the peculiarity of its casting. The casting of Bo geji uses 50 exemplary pieces to cast and form, such a complex process, without meticulous design, without skilled casting technology is impossible to complete, can be called a model of bronze casting. The decorative style of Bo Geji is different from the previous bronzes, both traditional decorative themes, such as the illusion of the animal face and the dragon pattern with different shapes, but also a very realistic, life-rich image of cattle and sheep; the perfect combination of abstraction and figuration makes the decorative pattern of the bronze no longer mysterious and fierce, but also tends to be lifelike and artistic, which is a rare Western Zhou bronze treasure.
The multiple decorative patterns of The Bergobita not only play a decorative effect, but also express a profound meaning. The main body ornamentation creates a strong atmosphere of fierce power. The "Lü's Spring and Autumn Foresight" records: "Zhou Ding is a glutton, has a head and no body, eats people without swallowing, harms his body, and repays him with words." It can be seen that Gluttony is a fierce and terrible monster, giving people a fierce and deep divine aura. Cattle and sheep are the ancestors of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and cattle and sheep cast on utensils are auspicious symbols. For thousands of years, the dragon has been regarded as the totem of the Chinese nation, which combines elements such as horse head, antlers, snake body, fish scales and bird feet, and is an animal imagined and illusioned by people based on the cognition of real animals, and people have given it rich content, pinned a lot of expectations, symbolizing the prosperity and prosperity of the Chinese nation.
