What was the Zhou Dynasty engraved on?

It is far from the level of Greek sculpture in the period, and no large-scale sculpture with independent significance has been found. At that time, the sculptures were mainly clay figurines buried with animals and jade carvings, bronzes, lacquerware and other arts and crafts. As far as the complexity of types and the richness of materials and techniques are concerned, it is beyond the reach of Greek sculpture. Sculptures found in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period include lacquerware, bronze ware, jade, clay sculpture, wood and other materials. These images are animals, people, monsters, birds, dragons and phoenixes, etc. , techniques are round carving, relief, painting, mosaic. The depiction of characters can not only distinguish the differences of rank, gender and age characteristics between men, women and children, but also depict individual personality characteristics.

Shu Meng and Jian Shu, whether Dan Shu or Zhu Shu, all have unique fonts. Such as Hou's book, the brush marks on the blade are obvious, the turning point is abrupt and powerful, and the line thickness changes slightly. When writing, it forms a silkworm head, which some people call tadpole book, forming a special aesthetic feeling. Seal script provided the earliest model for later seal cutting.
