Bronze ware with flowing gold and colorful colors
Because the bronze ware that had just been cast was golden, it was also called "gold" or "auspicious gold". It was in a state of flowing gold and color. Bronze was an alloy made of red copper, tin, lead, and other chemical elements. It was a product of the development of human civilization to a certain stage. The use of bronze in different countries and regions of the world was different. "From 3500 B.C., bronze ware began to develop in the Sumer region. Before 3000 B.C., bronze ware could be manufactured on a large scale in the Sumer region of southern Mesopotamia. Around the 10th century B.C., Europeans used the lost wax method to cast bronze ware. The Turks and Southeast Europe mastered the manufacturing technology and made a large number of bronze ware. Bronze was mostly cast into weapons in Spain and Portugal." The earliest bronze ware in ancient India was the bronze figurine "Dancing Girl" of the Indian River Civilization Era from 2500 to 1500 B.C. The most common bronze ware used by the people in the Indian River Valley was tools and weapons, and the bronze casting technology was relatively high. The earliest bronze ware discovered in China was a bronze knife from the Ma family site in Gansu Province in 3500 B.C., but the Central Plains entered the Bronze Age in the 17th century B.C., and Chinese bronze ware was mainly used for daily life (including sacrificial utensils). There are many bronze wares with unique shapes and exquisite craftsmanship in China, such as the "Dahe Square Tripod with Human Face Pattern" in the late Shang Dynasty, with a human face around its abdomen; The human-faced dragon pattern, with the lid of a human face image, the overall shape is like a "human-faced dragon body"; Yachou Yue, with a human face image on the body and very cute; The "Bronze Hand" of Yachang Tomb in Yin Ruins; The bronze wheel-shaped ware of Sanxing Dui; The craft of the Yizun plate of Marquis Zeng is extremely complicated. It uses the lost wax method and is the treasure of the Bo Town Hall in Hubei Province. These bronzes embodied the superb bronze casting techniques of ancient times. At that time, they might have been golden and colorful. Now, although they were mostly green when they were unearthed due to the erosion of time, they still showed their former glory.

However, the ware that has been treated with the cleaning agent should be rinsed with distilled water many times to prevent the acid and base components of the cleaning agent from affecting the ware. - For harder attachments, you can't use metal or hard objects to remove them by force.

The washed utensils should be placed in a cool and dry place. After the water evaporated and dried, they should be stored. - To remove the dust on the bronze ware, use soft cloth, soft brush, soft hair duster, etc. For heavy and irregular bronze ware, use vacuum cleaners and other machinery to remove dust. 2. ** Use of skincare agent ** - Can be applied regularly with professional copper products maintenance agent.

They could be stored in sealed bags, moisture proofing agents, or storage boxes to reduce the possibility of oxidization. 4. ** Avoiding Damage ** - Do not use sharp or rough objects to clean the gold and bronze ware to avoid scratching the surface. At the same time, excessive fiddling and touching should be avoided to reduce the attachment of grease and dirt. 5. ** Special treatment ** - The possible dirt spots, rust spots, grease stains, sweat stains, etc. on the surface of the gold and bronze ware should be properly handled. These substances not only damaged the objects, but also might be bad for the collector's health. They had to be completely removed when cleaning. - Copper anti-tarnishing agent can be used on the surface of gold and bronze components and materials. This anti-tarnishing agent has good anti-rust effect, does not damage the work piece, is convenient and fast to use, does not burn, does not contain toxic substances such as NaNO3, and is relatively safe and environmental friendly. It was also possible to cover the surface of the copper product with a protective layer to prevent rust.
