銅鐘的藝術價值

銅鐘其實最早在原始社會是以禮器的形式出現(xiàn)的，最開始的鐘是以竹制或者陶制，是一種簡單的打擊樂器，最早的鐘出現(xiàn)在西周時代。最早的鐘是鐵質(zhì)的后因發(fā)音洪亮而悠揚在佛教傳入中國開始就成了佛教寺院中不可缺少的法器，后隨著青銅文化的開始，在商周時期出現(xiàn)了青銅器漸漸的形成了銅鐘以及銅鼎的出現(xiàn)并且他們都是王權的象征，我們常說的鐘鳴鼎食就是表達的這個意思。

In fact, the bronze bell first appeared in the primitive society in the form of ritual vessels. The earliest bell was made of bamboo or pottery, which was a simple percussion instrument. The earliest bell appeared in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Since the earliest bell was made of iron, it sounded loud and melodious. Since Buddhism was introduced into China, it has become an indispensable instrument in Buddhist monasteries. Later, with the beginning of bronze culture, bronze wares appeared in Shang and Zhou Dynasties, gradually forming bronze bells and bronze dings, and they are all symbols of kingship. This is what we often say.

銅鐘具有珍貴的價值，首先銅鐘是寶貴而豐富的史料，古代鑄造的鐘，除了雕鑄一些圖案，還有文字，或吉祥用語，或紀實記事。因此，古銅鐘不僅在文字發(fā)展史上，更在古代社會、政治、文學、思想、經(jīng)濟等各方面的研究一提供了寶貴而豐富的石料，同時體現(xiàn)出了我國古人的高超技術。

Bronze bells have precious value. First of all, bronze bells are precious and rich historical materials. In addition to some patterns carved and cast in ancient times, there are also words, auspicious terms, or documentary notes. Therefore, ancient bronze bells not only provide valuable and rich stones in the history of writing development, but also in the study of ancient society, politics, literature, thought, economy and other aspects. At the same time, they embody the superb technology of ancient Chinese.

再者銅鐘又是古代工藝技術之精華，中國是鐘的故鄉(xiāng)，流傳于世、難以盡述的古銅鐘作為中國銅文化的一個重要組成部分，反映了古老、優(yōu)美偉大的中華民族文化的一個側(cè)面，對研究中國的斷代史、禮樂制度、思想史、音樂史等有非常重要的價值，并且由于薈萃了我國古代工藝技術之精華，代表了當時的鑄造、聲學、力學等高超技術水平，更是我國傳統(tǒng)科技的寶貴實物。

Furthermore, bronze bell is the essence of ancient technology, and China is the hometown of bell. As an important part of Chinese copper culture, ancient bronze bell, which is spread all over the world and is difficult to describe, reflects one aspect of ancient, beautiful and great Chinese national culture, and is of great value to the study of Chinese dynastic history, ritual and music system, intellectual history, music history, etc. Moreover, because it has gathered the essence of ancient technology in China, it represents the superb technology of casting, acoustics and mechanics at that time.

因為銅鐘的聲音清脆洪亮，所以銅鐘在佛教傳入找國后被當做一種佛教的法器，在我們的生活中有著非常重要的作用，同時隨著銅雕技術的不斷發(fā)展，現(xiàn)代的銅鐘雕塑除了鑄造圖案外還有文字及吉祥用語，或紀時記事.在我們生活中有著非常重要的價值和作用。

Because the sound of bronze bell is crisp and loud, bronze bell is regarded as a kind of Buddhist instrument after Buddhism was introduced into China, which plays a very important role in our life. At the same time, with the continuous development of bronze carving technology, modern bronze bell sculpture has characters and auspicious words besides casting patterns, or can remember the time of the year, which has very important value and function in our life.
