What is the relationship between our traditional culture and real life (about the bronze class)

Into Baoji, into the hometown of the Yandi Emperor, into the millennium one of the birthplace of civilization, full of ears is full of the world's hustle and bustle, while overlooking is the Chinese civilization of the heritage, so, the wings of the mind to take you to fly through time, fly through the fog, to feel the profound cultural origins... ...

Into the Bronze Museum, the peculiar shape of the building, into a melting pot full of mysterious colors. Into the eyes of all is to tell us about the rise and fall of history, cultural changes in the remains and ancient unearthed artifacts, so that people in the sigh of relief, can not help but admire the wisdom of our ancestors and clever. It is these that have left valuable material and spiritual wealth for future generations, and have the deep foundation of our continuous development today. The so-called deep roots in order to luxuriant leaves, branch strong in order to fruit, even this.

The origins of Chinese history are vast and far-reaching, but the most representative of our daily writing of Chinese characters, commonly known as "square characters" a stroke, square. This is one of the greatest achievements of Chinese culture, which is able to convey meaning and feelings, and stands alone in the world's cultural forest. In the fourth floor exhibition hall of the Bronze Museum in Ancient Chencang, which is known as the "Hometown of Bronze Ware", the "Spring and Autumn of Chinese Characters - Bao Bao" is a unique exhibition. The "Spring and Autumn of Chinese Characters - Cultural Exhibition of Chinese Characters on Unearthed Relics in Baoji" shows the development and evolution of Chinese characters to the world. The exhibition was carefully selected from tens of thousands of cultural relics in the collection of Baoji Museum, in which 150 pieces of prehistoric pottery, Shang and Zhou era bronzes and oracle bone inscriptions as well as historical treasures unearthed in Baoji since the founding of the People's Republic of China were on display. Among them, there are prehistoric pottery painted with engraved symbols. Guo Moruo once believed that such symbols were the germ of Chinese characters. There are 21 pieces of oracle bone inscriptions with text unearthed in Qishan Feng Xiao has been, which is regarded by academics as the earliest micro-engraving calligraphic art work found in China. The Chencang Stone Drums unearthed in Baoji are the earliest surviving stone inscriptions in China, and their script is regarded as the "ancestor of the Small Seal Script". Also on display are a large number of heavy bronze objects with inscriptions of up to 100 characters, and 20 bronze mirrors with long inscriptions, including the Xiangzun, Shiwu Pan, and Folding Goblet, which have become famous both at home and abroad. In addition, Hanzi Chunqiu also exhibits the collection of Ming Dynasty imperial edicts as well as calligraphy masterpieces of Qi Jiguang, Zuo Zongtang and other historical figures. In addition, more than 200 Chinese characters from the first hieroglyphics to oracle bone inscriptions, gold inscriptions, big seal scripts, small seal scripts up to the modern Chinese characters with engraved symbols, oracle bone inscriptions of the size of a grain of rice, imperial edicts of the Ming Dynasty, and ink treasures of Qi Jiguang, a Ming general who fought against the Japanese, are displayed at the exhibition. ...... A pair of pieces of historical artifacts show us the deep historical and cultural heritage of Baoji, as well as the results of the cultural archaeology and collection work, and show us the results of the work of the Chinese government. Work results, show us the Chinese civilization at the same time, so that we have a systematic understanding of the Chinese characters from germ to maturity, from communication tools to the art of calligraphy, from the royal family to the full access to the society of the historical development process, but also in the history of the struggle of the nation to tell us.

The footsteps of the times has entered the twenty-first century, the development of Chinese civilization has entered a new historical period, but the impact of the bronze civilization is still far-reaching, such as the Shang, Zhou and Qin period of bronze agricultural tools is the prototype of modern agricultural tools, and the impact is huge. It is still of decisive significance in our country, where the farming civilization is still dominant.

The Bronze Age has been sealed into history, but in thought, and even in the daily life of modern people. The shadow of the bronze culture is still clearly recognizable, however, for the bronze we can how much? Undeniably, very little indeed. Of course, this is directly related to the fact that we have less contact with it in our daily life, however, this should not be our excuse, because without the continuation of ancient civilization, where is the modern civilization? If the ancients hadn't created a series of daily social tools, we would still be living in isolated forests like some tribes, so how can we talk about modern civilization? How can we talk about modern civilization? How can we talk about modern education? Therefore, the transmission of history and the continuation of culture must never be interrupted. Otherwise, there will be a real break in history. We will naturally become the sufferers of the history of China's break with the ancient sins, the real "darkness" will attack us, we will be washed away by the long river of history, disappear. Can be seen, a small bronze, cohesion of how much of our Chinese civilization accumulation, and precipitation of how much of our Chinese civilization origin ah!

In fact, about the bronze civilization, although we know little, but it is in the country and even the world's influence is great. A lot of related research is also in full swing in the middle of the trend has not weakened at all. China's research on it is also gradually in-depth, more and more detailed. Some of the research results and new discoveries are quite exciting. We may all remember that the iconic bronze figures unearthed at the Sanxingdui in Guanghan, Sichuan Province, 12 years ago shocked the world. So did the kiln collection of artifacts unearthed in Baoji. There are also many other such discoveries. These are relatively valuable assets left to us by history. However, compared with our counterparts in the world, we are lagging behind, resulting in many discoveries about the bronze civilization being put on hold for a long time, thus affecting the research process. The loss is naturally immeasurable, and the regret is even more helpless. Let a person sigh in such a developed modern society can not crack a thousand years ago the mystery of science and technology. Perhaps due to the age of time or perhaps due to the long river of history, many relics are no longer testable or survivable. However, no matter what, for the ancestors created a brilliant civilization of inheritance and development are indispensable, or if not. Because forgetting history means betrayal.

The emergence of Baoji Bronze Museum may, to a certain extent, to make up for the many regrets. In this so-called "hometown of bronze" place, almost anytime there may be a collision with the millennium civilization, even if it is not the spark of thought, but also produce a little bit of hope. Bronzes are one of the larger categories of ancient civilizations. It is certainly all encompassing and rich. But, in terms of their impact on today, they can be broadly categorized into four main groups: bronze ceremonial objects, bronze weapons, bronze tools and agricultural implements.

From the point of view of the plastic arts, the bronze ritual is the most striking. This is because this kind of apparatus is our country ancient temple and palace display objects, used in a variety of sacrifices and banquets and a variety of grand ceremonial occasions. Ancient people believe that sacrifices and war is the country's most important thing, sometimes even related to the survival of the nation, so divination and ask the sky, to fight or not to fight is very careful and prudent. So, as the saying goes, "the great things of the country, in the rituals and precepts". Of course, at present, this kind of artifacts with the passage of time has been dust into the river of history. In this day and age, we believe in science and technology and a well-developed information system, and there is no longer any need to know the sky and the earth.

And then there are the bronze weapons, which were cast in very large quantities during the Zhou and Qin Dynasties, and are now found in larger quantities. Although the war at that time consumed a lot of, but survived to this day was found in the type, the number is still not reduced. The main weapons are also not lack of knives, guns, swords, go and so on. Since modern wars have long gone beyond geographical boundaries, contemporary weapons have also become cultural relics that have been placed in museums. Let people in the appreciation and thinking at the same time feel the ancient military war of blood and rain.

Many of the bronze utensils, contemporary is still widely used is the third category of bronze. Because from ancient times, China's craft civilization will be civilized with the world, which of course is based on the first casting labor tools. The main tools were axes, chisels, cattles, saws and so on. For children growing up in the countryside, these are all familiar. The axe is a felling tool that is widely used in handicrafts. Engaged in construction is not to blame, it is no exaggeration to say that the ancient society of the axe is worth half of the carpenter. As for, chisel, saw ancient and modern difference is not very big. This is the wisdom of ancient labor.

The last remaining bronze agricultural tools were commonly used in farming during the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. Bronze farming tools have been fully proved by archaeologists, but archaeological discoveries are relatively few. The reason for this may be due to the fact that resources were more precious at that time and smelting technology was also relatively backward. According to archaeology, at that time the old bronze agricultural tools can be recast, it can not be casually abandoned, generally not used for burial. So the remains of agricultural tools are bound to be very few, coupled with the archaeological emergence of the main physical objects, which caused the development of ancient agricultural tools relatively lagging behind. Although all modern farming tools have been mostly replaced by iron, but the farming methods passed down. And influenced our modern farming methods, but also affect the agricultural economy.

In summary, it is easy to see that Chinese civilization has a long history. Bronze civilization is not only important but also indispensable. The Chinese civilization is first and foremost a language, and Chinese characters are the necessary tools for its inheritance. Regarding the origin of Chinese characters, oracle bone inscriptions take the lead, and bronzes are no less important. The most discovered hundreds of ancient characters are also in and out of them, adding new impetus to the study and development of ancient civilization. Bronze culture has become a booster for the Dragon's heir along with the excellent traditional Chinese culture, but we are missing these in today's school education. This is no less than a great pity and a great sadness. What students lack is not the baptism of modern civilization, Internet and popularity have become the bread and butter of daily life, however, the access to excellent culture is relatively poor, so the museum is an essential window. As an educational base, it should let them understand the civilization of their ancestors through vivid objects. But these alone are not enough. How to dissolve history into the teaching, how to civilization y rooted in the heart is more appropriate. Let the students in the classroom to learn the knowledge, understand the history, this fun in the way of learning, so that primary and secondary school students play to learn history, to understand the words they use is how to evolve, is how to record the rise and fall of China, honor and disgrace, brilliant. In the university classroom, a special class is conducted on a particular field, taking into account social and economic developments and their relevance. While we look to the future, we must not forget history. The youth are the future of our country, the builders of the future, and this task cannot be delayed. I remember this sentence: "If you love China ,love Chinese Characters. If you love our national traditions , have to understand the origin of BaoJi history first. How to develop, how to apply and how to prosper the light of Zhou-Qin civilization has become a brand-new topic in front of us. The history and future recorded in square characters will be confirmed one day. China's outstanding traditional culture will also be followed.
