Abstract
The developments and achievements of China's bronze culture are discussed. It can be seen by means of archaeological excavations in recent years that the appearance of a highly developed bronze culture in the Shang and Zhou dynasties was not accidental, but evolved gradually over the course of 2000 years. The methods and rules used in the preparation of bronze and castings of bronze objects were formulated through many generations of practice. The advanced bronze culture and extensive utilization of bronze implements played an important role in the development and expansion of productive forces and material culture in ancient China. -- AATA
