What material is used for bronze inscriptions?

Bronze is an alloy of pure copper (copper) with tin or lead.

Bronze is the earliest alloy in the history of metal smelting and casting. Adding tin or lead alloy to pure copper (red copper) is of special importance and historical significance. Compared with pure copper (red copper), bronze has high strength and low melting point (25% tin smelting bronze, the melting point will be reduced to 800℃). The melting point of pure copper (copper) is 1083℃). Bronze has good castability, wear resistance and stable chemical properties.

Bronze has the characteristics of low melting point, high hardness, strong plasticity, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and bright color, and is suitable for casting various appliances, mechanical parts, bearings, gears and so on.

Bronze inscriptions are important materials for the study of ancient philology.

The study of bronze inscriptions is an important content of ancient philology. Only according to the scientific research methods of ancient philology can we study the tortuous characteristics, rhetoric, sentence patterns, grammatical habits and their evolution in various historical stages.

Only in this way can we deeply understand this kind of writing. Even if we observe and understand bronze inscriptions from the perspective of bronze research, we need to follow the scientific laws of ancient Chinese characters to do in-depth research, and there is no easy way.
