新加坡大型春拍精品鉴赏：青铜三足爵杯

爵作为饮酒之器，早在公元前2400年左右就已经出现。陶爵流行于夏、商，铜爵流行于商和西周，西周以后便罕见爵杯的踪迹了，到了秦汉时期，就非常罕见。以古物为研究对象的金石学兴盛起来，人们才重新开始认识商周爵杯的原始面貌，随之而来的仿古之风大作，目前所见的仿古爵杯，有银爵、铜爵、玉爵和瓷爵等。这些仿古爵杯也常常出现在当时的绘画作品中，明代画家陈洪绶的《蕉林酌酒图》中就有用仿古爵杯饮酒的形象。

Jue, as a drinking device, appeared as early as 2400 BC. Tao Jue was popular in the summer and the Shang dynasty, while bronze Jue was popular in the Shang and the western Zhou dynasty. after the western Zhou dynasty, traces of Jue cups were rare. in the Qin and Han dynasties, it was very rare. With the prosperity of epigraphy, which focuses on antiquities, people began to recognize the original appearance of Shang and Zhou Jue cups again, and the accompanying archaize wind was blowing. at present, the archaize Jue cups are silver Jue, bronze Jue, jade Jue and porcelain Jue, etc. These archaize Jue cups are often found in painting works at that time, and the image of archaize Jue cups drinking is useful in banana forest wine tasting by Chen Hongshou, a painter of Ming dynasty.

战国的青铜器，一方面继续发展了纹饰细密的风格，另一方面又出现了很多素面的器物，表明当时青铜器的制造有趋向实用的倾向。这种风气与贵族的衰落、郡县制的发展密切相关。至汉代时，作为礼器的青铜器已经衰退，而代之兴起的，是日常实用青铜器的工艺设计变得更为精致，例如设计精巧的熏炉和青铜爵杯，装饰细密的带钩、造型生动的席镇等。这种转变，既反映了时代政治变迁，也说明青铜器制造技术在不断进步，以适应世俗社会。

On the one hand, the bronze wares of the warring States period continued to develop a fine-grained style, and on the other hand, there were many plain-faced implements, which showed that the bronze wares of that time tended to be practical. This kind of ethos is closely related to the decline of nobles and the development of county system. By the Han dynasty, the bronzes used as ritual vessels had declined, but instead, the technological design of daily practical bronzes became more exquisite, such as exquisitely designed fumigators and bronze cups, finely decorated seats with hooks and vivid shapes, etc. This change not only reflects the political changes of the times, but also shows that the bronze ware manufacturing technology is constantly improving to adapt to the secular society.

先秦青铜器的文化不仅局限于铜器的制造和使用，也包括金银器。从文化传播的方面看，中原青铜文化中有许多远方异域的因素，在相当大的时空范围内承载了中华历史。中国青铜器是高度结合了艺术性和实用性的创造，既有重要的历史文化价值，也是古代科技和艺术的灿烂结晶。

The culture of bronze wares in pre - Qin dynasty is not only limited to the manufacture and use of bronze wares, but also includes gold and silver wares. From the perspective of cultural communication, there are many exotic factors in the bronze culture of central plains, which bear the Chinese history in a large space-time range. Chinese bronze ware is the creation that highly combines artistry and practicality. it has important historical and cultural values and is also the brilliant crystallization of ancient science and technology and art.

目前，一些有预见的投资者已开始悄悄把收藏重点向青铜兵器和青铜杂器转移，这些“潜力股”在近十年的身价均涨过10倍。其中小件青铜器藏品在市场上表现极为活跃，价格一度飙升，体现出很高的投资价值。近几年市场上比较活跃的小件青铜器，主要以铜镜和爵杯为主。

At present, some foreseen investors have begun to shift their collection focus to bronze weapons and miscellaneous bronzes quietly, and these " potential stocks" have increased 10 times in value in recent ten years. Among them, the collection of small bronzes is very active in the market, and the price once soared, which shows high investment value. In recent years, the most active small bronzes in the market are bronze mirrors and cups.
