中国的青铜酒器艺术与酒文化一样源远流长,起源于夏。现已发现最早的青铜酒器为夏二里头文化时期的爵,在商周达到鼎盛,衰落于春秋。在商代,由于奴隶主嗜好饮酒,并常有隆重的仪式,因而促进了酿酒业的发展,青铜酒器的制作技术也随之提高,达到前所未有的繁荣。在当时的职业中还出现了“长勺氏”和“尾勺氏”等专门以制作酒器为生的氏族。周代饮酒之风虽然不如商代,但酒器制作基本上沿袭了商代的风格。 China’s bronze wine art and wine culture has a long history, originated in summer. It has been found that the earliest bronze wine for the Xia Erlitou period of the Jue, reached its peak in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, decline in the Spring and Autumn. In the Shang Dynasty, because the slave-owners preferred to drink alcohol and often had grand ceremonies, which promoted the development of the wine industry, the production technology of bronze wine vessels also increased and reached an unprecedented prosperity. At the time of occupation also appeared in the “long spoon” and “tail spoon’s” and other specialized to make wine living clan. Although the drinking style of the Zhou dynasty was not as good as that of the Shang dynasty, the production of the liquor basically followed the style of the Shang dynasty.
