Description
商代 青铜编钟编铙
參考:紐約大都會博物館 戰國秦 青銅鐘 Bell (Zhong), Bronze, China 5th–3rd century B.C.
China
Longer and narrower than the nao, with an upper section decorated with protruding nipples grouped in four sections of nine, the zhong first appeared during the Zhou dynasty. Like the nao, the zhong is found in odd-numbered sets of bells of graduated size and pitch. Struck with a long-stemmed, T-shaped beater, the bells have excellent musical qualities, such as a clear sound that decays rapidly and a defined and focused pitch. The melodies made by zhong accompanied ritual and entertainment.

1988年和1993年,湖南文物考古部门在长沙宁乡县发掘了一口商代青铜大铙和一组商代青铜编铙,其中青铜大铙通高103.5厘米,重221公斤,是中国至今发现的最早最大最重的商代乐器,制作年代比湖北荆州出土的曾饿乙编钟要早约1000年。
铙乐为商至周初(公元前七世纪)用于军旅、祭祀、宴享等重大活动的音乐。《商周铙乐》是长沙市文物考古专家和文学艺术家以商周社会生活为题材,创作的融乐、舞、歌于一体的古代乐舞,再现了中国古代的社会生活。

传四川省新津县出土

该钲柄较长,器身正面刻有虎纹、树纹和巴蜀文字,是典型的古代巴人和蜀人使用的器物。巴、蜀是今四川省境内的部族,巴在今四川省东部地区,蜀在今四川省西部长江上游以北地区。蜀在春秋末年已有发达的农业,战国中期迁都于今四川成都,成为”戎狄之长”。巴、蜀受秦楚文化的影响很深,在青铜器上铸刻虎纹、于纹、花蒂纹,则是本民族风格的体现。
