Bronze inscriptions belong to calligraphy fonts.
Bronze inscriptions belong to seal script in calligraphy fonts. Bronze ware was called gold or auspicious gold in ancient times, which is an alloy of copper and other chemical elements such as tin and lead. The bronzes that have just been cast are golden, but because they have been buried underground for too long, they gradually become turquoise, so they are called bronze by modern scholars. The inscriptions on bronzes belong to seal script in calligraphy font, which began in the late Shang Dynasty and flourished in the Western Zhou Dynasty, so they belong to seal script. Seal script is one of the ancient Chinese characters, also known as seal script. In a broad sense, seal script includes all the characters before official script and their extensions, such as inscriptions on bronze, Shi Guwen, ancient prose of Six Kingdoms, seal script of Xiao, seal script of Miao and overprint.
