The Western Zhou Dynasty and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is a revolution, the development of the times in the China’s ancient civilization, whether it is the achievements of spiritual civilization, institutional civilization and material civilization The Western Zhou Dynasty and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty periods in the pre Qin period reached a very dazzling height. The material civilization, especially in the bronze smelting and casting represented, in bronze casting the pottery mould manufacturing is undoubtedly in bronze casting is a crucial step, the pottery mould of bronze casting in the van for the understanding and the understanding to the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty period of bronze casting technology and learning the authenticity of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty period bronze has a positive role.The Western Zhou Dynasty and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty period of bronze casting unearthed in the ruins of the pottery mould as the research object, the Tao fan were unearthed in four sites:Shaanxi Zhou Yuan Zhuang, Li the Western Zhou Dynasty copper casting site; Luoyang Beiyao the Western Zhou Dynasty bronze sites; Houma the Eastern Zhou Dynasty foundry site; Cast copper site in Xinzheng of Zheng state worship in the ruins. To understanding the basic characteristics of these archaeological observation by pottery mould of these ruins unearthed pottery mould.This paper is divided into five chapters, in the first chapter, for different types of ancient bronze Chinese casting technology to do some simple introduction, the main:Stone casting mould, metal casting method, the lost wax method, foundry method; and do the unearthed material collation of information of Stone casting mould, metal casting method. The second chapter gives a detailed introduction to pottery mould casting, the main process:the selection of stale mud, making clay mould, the production of mud mould, making core, the dried mud and roasting etc. The third chapter of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty pottery mould made an observation on archaeology, trough the observation of the following conclusions:the first, the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty period there are many pottery mould made tenon structure to enhance the overall stability in the production of the van, In addition there are some pottery mould will describe some notation and to determine the relative position between the pottery mould and the avoiding time pottery mould position error; the second, making pottery is widely used when noriyuki fabric and fabric technology, The pottery mould positive Pug adopted back more refined mud is used rough, the use of such a hand can save fine mud on the other hand can improve the permeability of the pottery mould; The third, after van also tend to take reinforcement measures further, using a strap attached with mix grass mud traces found in some of the pottery mould; Fourth, some pottery mould use a common runner in order to improve the production efficiency of the bronze products; Fifth, in order to exhaust, some pottery mould will produce some vent; Sixth, some pottery mould made one time without success, to reform in the late will. The fourth chapter discuss the ceramic casting for bronze identify significance, is the use of ceramic casting method on the bronze traces are summarized, in general there are several:First, pottery mould casting will leave traces and Van "van line on the bronze used"; Second, bronze tend to leave when casting the gasket traces; third, because of the exhaust of not very smooth, in the surface of bronze tend to leave stomata; Fourth, some bronze ear will leave traces of the fulcrum of casting; Fifth, the pottery mould combined do not absolutely perfect combination, and pottery mould pattern for artificial scored so form and position of the bronze pottery mould on both sides of the decoration is not exactly the same. The fifth chapter mainly makes a summary of the above point of view.In predecessor’s foundation in this paper although the discussion of some problems in the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty pottery mould, but still has many deficiencies, such as limitation of the materials not according to the division of the pottery mould of the characteristics of the times, later if conditions permit can be further discussed.
