处于东周时代楚国的青铜器文化,是华夏青铜文明的重要组成部份,是研究中国南方青铜时代发展史的重要篇章。不仅能衡量其于青铜时代的生产力水平,更是衡量楚国古代文明的重要标志。在楚文化的大背景下,楚国的青铜器文化,正如张正明先生所言“是构筑楚文化的美仑美奂的高堂邃宇的六根支柱之一”。 The bronze culture in Chu Kingdom during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was an important part of Huaxia bronze civilization and an important chapter in the study of the development history of Bronze Age in Southern China. Not only can it measure its productivity level in the Bronze Age, but also an important indicator of the ancient civilization in Chu State. Under the background of Chu culture, the bronze culture in Chu State, as Mr. Zhang Zhengming said, “is one of the six pillars of the noble and graceful Gaotangyuyu, which is the foundation of Chu culture.”
