An Exquisite Bronze Bottle with Engraved Scenes
In the Palace Museum, there is such an exquisite bronze bottle which was made in the Warring-States Period. On the bronze bottle, the engraved scenes include the harvest of mulberry leaves, shooting rites, a banquet with music performance, hunting, and fighting over land and water. The engraved scenes show the magnificent social life of the Warring-States Period. When I watch the bronze bottle, I remember the earthen bottles of ancient Greece. On the earthen bottles of ancient Greece, there often are painted fighting scenes. We can see the spirit similarity between the Chinese art of the Pre-Qin Era and ancient Greek art.
