Some Ancient Chinese Bronze Miscellaneous Vessels
Chariot
Cars and horses were the main means of transportation on land in ancient times. Undertook almost all land transportation at that time. In ancient times, chariots and horses were especially loved by the royal family and nobles, and they were a means of transportation and a symbol of status.
In ancient times, the car system was one of the important ritual and music systems in our country. The six-horse two-wheeled carriage of the emperor's level is the famous "Emperor Driving Six". Yili's "Wang Du Ji" says: "The emperor drives six, the princes drive five, the minister drives four, the doctor three, the scholar two, and the common people one."

My name is the axle decoration, and my function is to strengthen the axle. With my presence, the axle and the wheel can be more closely integrated.
Yoke
I call it a yoke ornament, which is a decoration nested on the surface of the yoke. The yoke is a two-footed horse royal tool. People usually tie their heads to the scales and their feet to the horse's neck.
car wèi
My name is Che Wei, which is the axle head used to fix the axle in ancient times. Most of the time we use it with the car. We have appeared as early as the end of the Shang Dynasty. Along with the annexation wars between great powers, military vehicles have gradually become the core of the war and a sharp weapon for fighting on the battlefield. The country of a thousand vehicles has also become a symbol of a big and powerful country.
weights and measures
The development of weights and measures in China has a long history. Weighing instruments are an important measurement tool, including two parts of weighing and weight. I am the weight, which is commonly known as weight. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, we usually used it to weigh precious small objects, such as the gold coins of Chu State.
The existing weights of the Warring States period in China are mainly Chu and Qin. Among them, the weights of Chu are ring-shaped, mostly round, and a few are diamond-shaped, so they are also called "power rings". Our emergence and development are the needs of social progress, and have a very close relationship with people's production and life.
Our measuring device family is an ancient container for calculating volume, which is in the shape of a round pot. People will cast inscriptions on us, and the content of the inscriptions involves tax collection, salary distribution, etc. Judging from the content of the inscription and the casting process, we received a lot of attention at that time.
