The concrete manifestation of the splendid bronze civilization in Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties in China is briefly described.

Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties are called "Bronze Age"

At present, there are few bronzes in Xia Dynasty, and they are fragmentary.

Shang Dynasty was a prosperous period of bronzes, which were mostly found in ritual vessels or weapons. The biggest one is Simu Wuding (up to now), and the most exquisite one is Siyang Fangzun (then). At the same time, there are Sanxingdui bronzes in Sichuan.

Bronzes were used for civilian and daily use in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Bronzes in the Spring and Autumn Period include gold and silver dislocation technology and carving and casting technology. The best bronzes are the Lotus Crane Square Pot which represents the highest level of Chinese bronzes (one pair was unearthed, one pair was handed over to the state, and the other pair is the treasure of the town hall), and the Ceng Houyi bronze chime which was later unearthed in Hubei. It is a perfect combination of bronze technology and music technology and can still be played after thousands of years.

Iron appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period, which began to replace bronze and gradually withdrew from the historical stage.
