A Study Of Bronze Weapons Of The Zhou And Qin Periods In The Guan Long Region

Judging from the literature records,the Guanlong area was the main activity area of the Zhou people,Qin people and Xirong people during the Zhou and Qin dynasties.In recent years,a large number of bronze weapons from the Zhou and Qin dynasties have been newly produced in this area.Most of the previous studies have involved,but there is no comprehensive review of the bronze weapons of the Zhou and Qin dynasties in the Guanlong area.This article takes the bronze weapons of the Zhou and Qin dynasties in the Guanlong area as the research object,and collects all kinds of bronze weapons in this space-time range relatively completely.And try to summarize the previous research process.This paper comprehensively uses archaeological typology,cultural factor analysis,archaeological situation analysis and other methods to conduct a preliminary analysis of the copper soldiers’ type evolution,stage characteristics,hierarchical combination relationship,regional combination differences,cultural factor sources,military combat mode transformation and other issues analysis.This paper sorts out the shape change characteristics of various types of bronze soldiers,and divides the bronze soldiers of the Zhou and Qin Dynasties into three periods and nine sections,corresponding to the early,middle and late Western Zhou Dynasty,early and middle and late Chun Qiu Period,and early,middle and late Warring States period.And this paper takes the tomb of Tongbing soldiers as a unit to carry out combined research.From the early Western Zhou Dynasty to the late Warring States period,the number of bronze soldier tombs in the Guanlong area generally decreased.The proportion and combination of elements of copper soldiers also change dynamically from early to late.During the Western Zhou Dynasty,spears,halberds,spears,shields,and arrowheads were common elements,with the single spear being the main weapon,followed by the combination of spears and shields.During the Chun Qiu Period,the proportion The proportion of the sword began to be second only to the go,with the go-sword combination at the top and the single go second.During the Warring States period,the proportion of arrowheads rose significantly,with single arrowheads taking the lead,followed by single swords and single go.In addition,the hierarchical structure of bronze soldier tombs was "pyramidal" in most stages,and there were obvious differences in the choice of bronze soldier types and combinations among the four classes of bronze soldier tombs.The identity of the main group of bronze soldier tombs also changed in stages.And there are also regional characteristics in the types and combinations of copper soldiers in each sub-basin.The source of cultural factors of the bronze soldiers is both a lineage and a combination of stage characteristics.The region from the Western Zhou to the Chun Qiu Periods was characterized by a heavy emphasis on the go,with the chariot as the core and the chariot and infantry fighting in concert,while by the Warring States Period the emphasis shifted to both go,sword and arrowhead,with the chariot as the core and infantry,cavalry and chariot fighting in concert.
