Of course, the ancient Chinese copper sculpture also has its own development process. Like other countries sculptures and the history of the development of the art of painting, the earliest sculpture is not a separate category of art, but subsidiary at the time of practical craft, pottery, jade, bronze production. Zoomorphic pottery unearthed in the ruins of the late Neolithic period in China, as well as the slave society shaped bronzes of animals and birds, the combination of copper sculpture and practical process. In addition, there are some small copper sculptures based animal images, such as pottery pig, pottery dog, pottery sheep, Tao chicken, pottery duck. The earliest human domestication of poultry because these small animals, they occupy an important place in the life of the late primitive society people. The human need for survival of these animals have a relatively deep careful observation and understanding, so these small copper sculptures of animals is more vivid, amused.
Practical process and become a separate category of art, China's Qin and Han Dynasties, is the ancient Chinese sculpture shine as an independent art stage. Terra Cotta Warriors and reported Qubing in Western Han tomb of Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum a large group of stone carving, fully illustrates this point.
After the Han dynasty, to the Northern and Southern Dynasties, with the broad spread of Buddhism in China, the buddha statue architecture prevalent dug caves in the cliffs, shaped, while in the grotto to create a large number of statues. In Dunhuang, Maijishan, Yungang and Longmen Grottoes, is being built from this period onwards. Therefore, in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, whether it is in the northern region of the Northern Dynasties, or in the south of the Southern Dynasties, buddha statue accounted for an important position. In the same time, many huge stone sculpture in front of the tomb of the emperor and nobility, the sculpture of this period seemed quite prosperous.
To the Tang Dynasty, China sculpture is more mature. Large stone lions, stone horses in front of the Tang Dynasty 18 imperial tombs, Fengxian Temple, Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang, the Big Buddha, the largest Buddha statues in ancient China - Sichuan Leshan Giant Buddha, as well as many beautiful image of the Tang Dynasty tomb figurines "tricolor glaze and colorful figurines, not only demonstrated the finished sculpture art this period, the daring, ambitious characteristics of the times, and the Chinese ancient sculpture art to a peak.
After the Tang Dynasty, until the Ming and Qing, buddha statues of the wind is far less than in the past, in addition to the temple also continue sculptures of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas like, dug grottoes have been fewer and fewer, as well as completely extinct. Aristocratic tombs of figurines in the Song Dynasty (with a few exceptions), generally have little attention, coupled with the growing disparity on after the Tang Dynasty, the social status of the sculpture artisans and painters, so the general trend of the development of sculpture is gradually recession, to the Qing Dynasty, more watered down.
Therefore, the development of ancient Chinese sculpture, can be roughly summed up as such a contour: Qin, Han, former Chinese sculpture infancy; Qin and Han Dynasties and the Southern and Northern Dynasties Chinese Sculpture mature and prosperous period; Tang Dynasty is the peak period; Tang subsequent to the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Chinese sculpture downturn.
