Moving "Bronze Weapons" of Shang Dynasty
The Shang Dynasty entered a period of development for bronze weapons. The bronze culture of ancient China reached a peak during the Shang Dynasty. From archaeological discoveries and analysis of bronze ware, it can be seen that the smelting process of the Shang Dynasty has surpassed the low-level stage of mixed ore smelting and casting, and developed to a higher level of smelting and casting from pure copper, tin, and lead. The workshops for casting bronze ware also have a large scale. Compared with the Erlitou culture period when bronze weapons began to appear, the bronze weapons of the late Shang Dynasty not only increased in number, but also had a complete range of weapons, forming a complete combination of offensive weapons and protective equipment, including long-range weapons, combat weapons, bodyguards, etc.
Due to the advancement of bronze and wooden tools, the production of wheels with high craftsmanship requirements is becoming increasingly perfect. In the previous excavations of Yin Xu in Anyang, many chariot pits with horses and vehicles buried in the late Yin Dynasty were found. Some of the unearthed carriages were equipped with various weapons, which should be chariots. The use of tanks enhances the mobility of the military and enables the full utilization of weapons.
