概要
The source provides an extensive overview of the Bronze Age and the development of bronze technology, focusing heavily on its trajectory in ancient China. It details the origins and discovery of bronze, tracing early metal use from accidental cold-forging of natural copper to the invention of complex alloys, noting differing timelines across regions like West Asia and China. A significant portion covers the evolution of bronze fabrication techniques, contrasting the predominant piece-mold casting (Fan-casting) in China with the later introduction of the lost-wax method. Finally, the text analyzes the multifaceted impact of bronze on human society, explaining its critical roles as a symbol of political power (ritual vessels and weapons), a driver of economic change (tools and trade), and a crucial factor in the development of early states and cultural transmission through inscriptions and art.
