Bronze ware (National Museum of History)Type Collection Collection Identifier c0601 Description The collection of bronze ware in the National Museum of History, which has long been valued by archaeologists, were unearthed in Xinzheng, Hui County and Yinxu. Bronze can be used to make weapons for its sharpness; it can also be used to make ritual vessels for banquets and burials owing to its high malleability and pliability. Bronze weapons were commonly seen in bronze age civilizations around the world, while bronze vessels for ceremonial use are unique to Chinese and represent Chinese bronze art. Since bronze ware has political, social, and economic significance, analyzing bronze ware inscriptions and styles will contribute to the reconstruction of ancient politics, societies, and economy.
