Chinese bronzes have a splendid and glorious history. According to ancient literature, the Longshan era dating from 4500 to 4000 years ago is equivalent to the legendary period of time. People at that time began to cast bronzes. Archaeologists have discovered bronze artifacts from dozens of sites in the Longshan era of the Yellow River and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. It was also from that time that China’s bronze wares began to flourish on the historical stage, and reached the peak of its development in the five dynasties of Xia, Shang, Western Zhou, Spring and Autumn and the early Warring States, until the end of the Warring States to the end of the Qin and Han Dynasties. With the collapse of the traditional etiquette system, irons replaced bronzes, and China’s history entered the post-Bronze era.
Perhaps it is precisely because the history and culture contained in Chinese bronzes are extremely rich and precious, so that even in modern times, we still express our respect and commemoration in various ways. In particular, the People's Bank of China issued gold and silver commemorative coins with bronzes as the theme for three consecutive years in 2012, 2013 and 2014, and commemorated and passed on China's long-standing bronze culture in the form of national legal currency. Of course, this is not the first time that the People's Bank of China issued the subject matter of gold and silver coins. It also issued three sets of Chinese unearthed cultural relics (bronze) gold and silver coins in 1981, 1992 and 1993 respectively. Moreover, the third group of gold and silver coins of Chinese bronzes issued on August 8 this year is not the last group of the subject matter. According to the plan, a total of 10 groups will be issued. So, what are the cultural expressions of such a gold and silver commemorative coin project that is closely related to Chinese bronzes? The author will then give you a rough explanation.
First, the bronze gold and silver coins represent a modern historical culture that inherits the classics.
In ancient China, Chinese bronze ware was not only used for production and life, but it was also the projection of the ancient spiritual world and the social history and culture at that time. From the bronzes that have been excavated, we can appreciate the exquisite ornamentation and profound inscriptions. It can be said that bronze is the dual heritage of material culture and spiritual culture in China.
The bronze gold and silver coins that we are distributing now are on the material of precious metals. Through the in-depth exploration of Chinese bronze culture by designers, we integrate the ideas of contemporary people and let the ancient Chinese bronze culture
It can be reproduced and replaced with a unique style of the new era. In the bronze gold and silver coins, it shows not only the shape and pattern of bronze, but also the inheritance of Chinese bronze culture. Through the important window of bronze gold and silver coins, we can appreciate the historical and cultural landscape of the great era that belonged to the bronzes thousands of years ago. We can feel the wisdom and creativity of the ancients and gradually enter their spiritual world.
At the same time, the release of bronze gold and silver coins is recorded and inscribed with the highest authority, reflecting the country's emphasis on bronze culture. Therefore, we believe that when the 10 groups of bronzes and gold coins were issued, a modern history and culture about the contemporary inheritance of ancient bronzes was born.
Second, the bronze gold and silver coins represent a rich currency culture.
As we all know, money is a business card of a country, which reflects important information about the country's political, economic, cultural, scientific and technological aspects in different historical periods. We can often infer history by studying the currency, and restore the living conditions and folk customs of the ancients to the maximum extent. It is precisely because of the characteristics of money that its cultural connotation is continuously enriched and accumulated over time, eventually creating a unique currency culture.
China is one of the earliest civilizations in the world to use money. In the long historical process, China's currency witnessed the rise and fall of one dynasty, recorded the development of civilizations of one era, and gradually formed its own characteristics. Currency culture. In modern times, although the material and form of money have changed tremendously compared with ancient times, the cultural content it carries is more abundant. For example, the precious metal commemorative coin is a special national legal currency. It does not participate in currency circulation, but plays an important role in inheriting Chinese civilization. Take the bronze gold and silver coins issued this time, its material is pure gold, sterling silver, the specifications are 1 ounce, 5 ounces, 1 kilogram, etc., the pattern is selected from the representative ancient Chinese bronze artifacts. On the one hand, its distribution enriches China's currency culture, and on the other hand, it shows the rich cultural connotation of China's currency culture.
Third, the bronze gold and silver coins show a collection culture with a thick and thin hair.
Although the history of gold and silver coins is not as long as traditional collections such as calligraphy and porcelain, it is mostly a traditional culture and classic culture with a long history in terms of the theme or theme it displays and displays to the public. In addition, gold and silver coins are the legal currency issued by the state. The special identity not only increases the value of its collection, but also guarantees the exquisite design and casting. In this way, a variety of excellent Chinese history and culture can be perfectly presented on precious metals. As the collection of gold and silver coins continues to grow, it is quietly becoming a unique collection of categories, giving birth to its own collection culture.
As the ancient country's national weapon and the treasure of the country, bronze is a rare material and spiritual cultural heritage, and its cultural value is even more difficult to estimate. Bronze gold and silver coins are the subject of this theme. They are carefully selected in the bronze artifacts unearthed in the vast sea of ​​smoke. After careful consideration by the designers and relevant departments, the most representative objects are selected as the commemorative coins. It can be said that the bronzes that we see on the surface of the coins are the finest products in the boutique. It condenses the essence of China's bronze culture and makes it simple and simple, so that the general public can in the shortest time, the bronze culture of China. The development context and historical image have an understanding and grasp on the whole. At the same time, we should also see that what is reflected in the bronze gold and silver coins is precisely a collection culture that is thick and thin.
4. Bronze gold and silver coins represent an innovative and traditional art culture.
The Chinese bronze ware with thousands of years of history is not only a treasure for studying ancient culture, but also a treasure trove for exploring traditional Chinese art. Not to mention how the craftsmanship of the bronzes used in the casting process at that time was exquisite and the shape was beautiful. As far as the paintings and sculptures were concerned, they had reached a considerable artistic height, with exquisite and creative. Imagination and other words to describe will feel a little pale. It is no exaggeration to say that the bronzes left us and the whole world a great historical and cultural miracle.
Let's take a look at our bronze gold and silver coins. It uses advanced modern coin-making techniques such as embossing, sand blasting, brightening, and mirroring. Through the designer's re-creation of the original bronze styling, it has formed a collection of modern style art. The bronze objects that can only be seen in museums have been put on the national legal currency, and we are able to feel the weight and beauty of it. I have to admit that the bronze gold and silver coins, with an innovative and traditional artistic expression, have brought a new vitality to the ancient artifacts of bronze, showing a new look that belongs to our era. I think that when the 10 groups of bronze gold and silver coins were issued, the "bronze miniature museum" on one coin was born.
Having said that, I thought of an episode, which is the wooden watermark paintings by Rong Baozhai. People who love collecting goods know that Rongbaozhai is a century-old store that deals in antiques and art. Its original wooden watermark technology is praised by the majority of Tibetans. The wooden watermark is an ancient hand-printing technique unique to China. The Chinese painting printed in this way is like the original, and can reach the point of “chaosâ€. Due to the complexity of the process, the paintings of a wooden watermark, such as Zhang Daqian and Qi Baishi, are also of high value and have room for appreciation, which is only slightly inferior to the original. Therefore, I think of the bronze gold and silver coins. Although they cannot be compared with the relevant originals of bronzes, they represent an innovative and traditional art culture. We should appreciate it, pay attention to it, and evaluate it with another perspective and perspective. It is the attitude we should have.
5. Bronze gold and silver coins represent an all-encompassing social culture.
Whether it is modern history and culture, currency culture, collection culture or art culture, they are actually an important part of social culture. Bronze gold and silver coins communicated distant ancient civilizations and modern civilizations with rapid development, so that the two have blended and collided, bringing them closer to each other. At a time when China's cultural undertakings are undergoing great development, we need to refine those traditional cultures so that they can be promoted and inherited. Since the era of bronzes once created a brilliant and amazing civilization, and the bronzes are a mirror reflecting the social culture of the time, we can place higher expectations on the bronze gold and silver coins, making it a part of the past history. Memory has become a unique landscape of contemporary social culture.
