冶金在我国有着悠久的历史。黄铜在夏朝已经出现,而巨大的司母戊鼎、精致的四羊方尊更是商代的文化象征。现在看来,当时炼铜规模之大,铜器种类之繁多,铜器应用之广泛,铜器生产量之庞大,铜器制作技术(如选矿、冶炼、范铸、镂刻、锤击等)之精巧等,都有力地证明了商代冶铜技术的发达。 Metallurgy has a long history in our country. Brass has appeared in the Xia Dynasty, and a huge Division Sima Ding, refined four sheep Fang Zun is the Shang Dynasty cultural symbol. It now appears that at that time the scale of copper smelting was large, the variety of bronzes, the wide range of applications of copper, the huge amount of copper produced and the production techniques of copper (such as dressing, smelting, casting, engraving, hammering, etc.) Delicate, etc., have strongly proved that the Shang Dynasty copper technology developed.
