Yan Guo Bronze Container Research

In this paper,period of Yanguo bronze vessels as the research object,the shape analysis,staging,grouping and combination form research.First,according to the known materials,the bronze vessels of Yanguo are divided into three categories: feeding utensils,wine vessels and water vessels,and then their shapes and stages are analyzed.Due to the discontinuity of existing bronze container materials in Yanguo,only some objects can be studied by stages.The bronze vessels of the early Western Zhou Dynasty were divided into two sections in the morning and evening.The Eastern Zhou period is divided into 5 sections,among which the late Spring and Autumn period can be divided into morning and evening,warring States early,middle and late stages.Second,divide groups on the basis of stages.The bronze vessels of Yanguo were divided into four groups.During the Western Zhou Dynasty,the proportion of group A was the largest,the proportion of group B and group D was the smallest,the proportion of group C was almost invisible,but there were still some discoveries.During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty,the proportion of Group A decreased obviously,the number of Group B and Group D increased,and Group C decreased and almost disappeared.The decline and decline of the four groups of cultures during these two weeks seems to reflect the reduction of the restricted relationship between Yanguo and the Zhou royal family of the Central Plains and the absorption and fusion of the native culture of the State of Yan.third.Through the study of the bronze vessels of Yanguo,we can know that the tomb shape,burial custom and time of the bronze vessels unearthed have a certain extent in the area.Relationship.In the Western Zhou Dynasty,the tomb of Yanguo was basically the same as that of the Central Plains.In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty,far from the area ruled by the aristocrats of Ji Yan,the tombs of bronze containers unearthed were different.Western Zhou Dynasty tombs are mainly oblong pit tombs,both north and south,no more than 15 degrees.During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty,in the area where Yan aristocrat concentrated,that is,now Beijing and Hebei,the tombs weremainly buried in earth pits or vertical tombs in Xihouang,which were not more than45 degrees north,which was more than 45 degrees from the point of view of the Western Zhou Dynasty,but it was still similar to the Central Plains on the whole.During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty,in the border areas of Yanguo,which is now southwest Liaoning and other areas,the tombs are mainly stone Xihouang tombs.The direction of tombs exceeded 45 degrees,most of them were about 70 degrees or 80 degrees,and even more than 90 degrees of tombs,that is,east-west tombs increased,which is different from the traditional form of burial in the Central Plains.Fourth,comparing with the bronze container assemblage in Central Plains,it can be seen that in the bronze container combination of Yanguo,the combination of bronze containers in the Western Zhou Dynasty is a continuation of the ritual system of the Shang and Zhou dynasties,but there are some differences in some containers.Referring to "A Review of Chinese Bronze wares",at present,among the existing sites of Yanguo,the vessels were not seen in the early stage of the ruins of Yanguo,Yan was rare,and there were relatively more Li,which is different from the situation in the Central Plains.Eastern Zhou Dynasty In the period of Yanguo Bronze vessel assemblage and the Central Plains region the great difference should belong to the status of copper beans and the combination of bronze vessels also gradually developed to an unstable form which can also reflect the political background and social environment of that time.
