Features: During the Spring and Autumn Period, the state of Jin and the three states of Han, Zhao, and Wei in the early Warring States Period had highly developed bronze casting industries. Advanced techniques such as gold plating, inlaying, line carving, and hollow carving successively emerged and reached unprecedented heights. This book selects over 170 outstanding bronze artifacts (sets) from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods of Han, Zhao, Wei, and their surrounding regions, including typical pieces unearthed in the 1920s and 1930s and from several large-scale archaeological excavations since 1949. All illustrations are colorfully printed, followed by descriptions of the illustrations.
