Introduction to bronze straight-line Gui: Bronze straight-line Gui from the Shang Dynasty. Gui is a food-holding utensil during the Shang and Zhou dynasties in my country. It was mainly used for sacrifices, daily use and burials. Its use continued until the Warring States period. Bronze Gui shapes are diverse and complex, including round bodies, square bodies, and those with a round top and a bottom. The early bronze Gui was earless like the Tao Gui. Later, two-, three- or four-eared Gui appeared. The "Traces of Xia and Shang" exhibition hall of Shanxi Museum displays a Shang Dynasty bronze linear pattern Gui. It is 27.3 cm in height, 33.2 cm in diameter, and 20.2 cm in base diameter. It was unearthed in Shilou County, Shanxi Province in 1959. Peach Blossom Village. This Gui has an open mouth, a wide outer folded rim, a curved wall with a deep belly, a rounded bottom that is nearly flat, and a trumpet-shaped high ring foot below. There are three rectangular holes on the upper part of the ring foot. The belly and ring foot are each decorated with a straight line. Ribbon, the upper and lower frames are connected by circles. Bronze wares of the Shang Dynasty generally have fixed patterns, often in the form of Taotie patterns, animal face patterns, etc. Gui decorated with straight lines like this have also been found in Shaanxi Province and other places in my country, but in general they are still It is very rare, and some scholars have proposed based on this that Chinese culture in the Shang Dynasty has a certain connection with Western culture, which still needs to be verified. However, the importance of this bronze straight-line pattern Gui goes without saying.
