Gold is the noble metal, is also the earliest human discovery and use of metal. The discovery and development of gold products, almost synchronous with human civilization.The world within the scope of the earliest gold products appeared in the 5000 BC in ancient Mediterranean region;Two river basin in northern Mesopotamia high site in 4000 BC, the tomb unearthed in a large amount of gold ornaments;Early in 5000 BC, the Peruvian molding workshop, found the processing fine welding gold products;Between 2900 and 2370 BC sargon mads Carla unearthed in the cemetery of the era of wig gold helmets and a lot of gold for ritual and ceremony, reflects the sumerians exquisite gold process;In 1352 BC in Egypt’s new kingdom era of tutankhamun’s tomb burial objects, mark the ancient Mediterranean gold technology development to the highest summit.The ancient Mediterranean region, two river basin and ancient America are very bright parts of the world.In our country, the first to use gold appeared in the late neolithic the middle reaches of the Yellow River region in 2400-2400 BC.Shang Yin henan longshan cultural relics unearthed a folder containing gold piece of pottery, this is makers deliberately into the natural gold as a decoration. Used here is natural gold, rather than foreign made of refined gold and finished products; To the xia dynasty, gold is relatively mature in the products in our country, we found gold earrings and gold nose drink in gansu yumen fire cemetery, time in 1800-1800 BC.China’s gold though starting late, but also created the magnificent Chinese civilization. When it was attached to the bronze gold technology in our country began to appear, then gradually plump wings, independent development, sui generis, handed down from generation to generation. From simple to complex, from inheritance to innovation, they both combined with China’s national essence of metal craft, also draws on the ancient foreign metal technique, even with the cultural characteristics of different historical periods of China brand and times:The early small contracted, pure and fresh and lively;Glorious age of tang poetry of different region amorous feelings, magnificent;Song and yuan poetry, comely and elegant;The Ming and qing dynasties treasure jade inlay, red richly. age and bright, having a unique style.Qin and han dynasty is the first stage to the history of gold and silver, is the early period in the history of the Chinese gold development process, two historical stages are divided into the pre-qin period and qin and han dynasties.The pre-qin period, before in 221 BC, the qin dynasty unified the world history.With early Chinese primitive society, slave society and feudal society three social forms.Including three sovereigns period (before 2070 BC), summer (2070 BC-1600 BC), business (1600 BC-1046 BC), the western zhou dynasty (1046 BC-771 BC), spring and autumn period (770 BC-476 BC), the warring states period (476 BC-221 BC) all the time.Qin and han dynasties, refers to the 221 BC to 220 AD.Before the qin dynasty (221 BC-207), the western han dynasty, nine years (202 BC-AD), the eastern han dynasty (25-220 AD) the dynasty.Gold products originated in the xia dynasty, Until the shang dynasty, gold is a range of distribution.Henan, hebei, Beijing, shanxi and other places of the shang dynasty ruins and graves were unearthed.Central area among them, the shells rule rare piece of gold, gold foil, such as accessories, more remote areas also unearthed gold jewelry and the ritual instrument;Western zhou dynasty unearthed gold area is roughly the same as the shang dynasty, concentrated in henan, gansu, hebei, shanxi, Beijing and other places, the gold belt group act the role ofing, but still with gold foil, gold, building decoration materials and chariots and horses;The spring and autumn period and the warring states period, the distribution of gold and a significant increase in the area of liaoning province in China, xinjiang, shanxi, Inner Mongolia, hebei and other places have unearthed.Focused on the state of qin as the main body of the northwest region, represented by the xiongnu in the northern tribal areas, with its as the main body of the Yangtze river valley and eastern littoral of qilu.North and the south is more significant difference, the northwestern and northern grasslands nomads more gold for personal adornment, and central plains farming region unearthed gold to copper, iron, lacquer, jade, stone and construction of decorative vessels, weapons, money and life;After qin and han dynasties unified, gold and more extensive uses. XiYin, currency, animal model furnishing articles, medical equipment and other new species emerge in endlessly.Production technology is quite mature, thread and welding process compose Kim is very popular.Early gold though can not reach the height of the tang dynasty, the development level of is gold development initial period:from affiliated to independence, from simple to complex, from immature to mature.Especially after the spring and autumn period and the warring states period to the han dynasty, gold and silver craft level gradually mature, the types of gold, decorations, crafts are produced a qualitative leap, obvious local characteristics, both aesthetic and practical function, and has a distinct style of The Times.To the tang dynasty after the gold and the great development of laid a good foundation.This paper mainly studies the early start and development of gold.Through the history of pre-qin period to the qin and han dynasties period unearthed situation, summarized the development of the early gold and gold characteristics and geographical distribution; In pre-qin period to the qin and han dynasties unearthed gold and physical this historical period as the backing, delimit the standard classification;On the basis of summarizing the early gold and process characteristics and decorative style in search for its different cultural source. In the process of the research, the author introduced a new gold and classification standards, most complete with the gold images, and try to explore the early gold and foreign culture from cultural sources.Through research and demonstration, the preliminary conclusion and gives objective evaluation.Is the gold in the early research efforts, innovative and creative.
