The two beasts are exquisite and magnificent, which is the origin of winged beasts in the tombs of the Eastern Han Dynasty, especially in the Southern Dynasties. The tiger bites the deer, which is a sculpture reflecting the realistic image. Carving techniques are similar to winged beasts. Judging from the two tall pillars on the back, it is obviously a decorative sculpture of the base. The tiger's whole body dynamics and strength because of swallowing deer fully reflect the spiritual temperament of the Warring States period.
Sun Yat-sen was a minority country during the Warring States Period. In addition to valuable bronzes, there are many rare sculptures in the ruins of Sun Yat-sen's old city, and most of them are bronze sculptures made of fine gold and silver.
For example, one of them is a four-dragon, four-phoenix and four-deer scheme seat, with four deer as the foot. The four dragons and four phoenixes on the seat are intertwined, and the dragons and phoenixes are all inlaid with gold and silver, which combines authenticity, vividness and decorative taste. This creative carving art fully embodies the intelligence of the working people in the Warring States period.
There are a large number of decorative sculptures in the ancient tombs of Zhongshan in pingshan county. In addition to the above-mentioned holders, there are also figurines holding lanterns, fifteen lanterns, bronze statues and various forms of jade carvings, including Yu Pei.
A highly artistic sculpture.
Yunnan has been the residence of ethnic minorities since ancient times, just like the Warring States and the Western Han Dynasty, that is, Yunnan. Therefore, Dian nationality or Dian culture occupies a certain position in ancient culture.
There is a group of ancient tombs of Yunnan culture near Kunming, Yunnan. There are many funerary objects equivalent to the bronze castings of the Warring States or the Western Han Dynasty, including small pieces of bronze castings with "buckles" or "ornaments", and the themes are mostly exciting hunting animals and fighting animals.
One of the ornaments shows two hunters riding on horses, stabbing two wild deer with spears, and a hunting dog pouncing on the deer. The rider, deer and hunting dog are twisted together, which is difficult to separate and form a jumping whole, which is very artistic and decorative.
Another bronze buckle shows two people hunting a wild boar that bites with its mouth open. In front of the pig, a hunting dog ran in fear. After the pig, a man pierced the pig's ass with a long sword, and another hunting dog bit the pig's stomach tightly. This is also an exciting scene.
There is also a kind of buckle, in which three hunters tie a buffalo with a horn, one ties the cow's neck with a rope, and the other holds the cow's tail. It seems that it is still difficult to resist the power of buffalo.
The above three pieces are all oval, with a length and width of about 10 cm. Although they are small in size, the images of people and animals are vivid and lifelike, and they are good decorative sculptures.
Since the late Shang Dynasty, funeral pottery has developed greatly in the Spring and Autumn Period. There are pots and pans that imitate bronze ritual vessels, as well as altars, beans and altars that imitate daily utensils. The shape of pottery is mainly flat-bottomed vessels and ding, and there are also a few round-foot vessels.
