This long period of the Bronze Age in China, that began around 2000 B.C., actually
experienced maturity and growth of civilization that would be sustained in its aspects which
were essential for other 2,000 years. During the early ages of this development, the process of
urbanization went together with the establishment of the social order(Miller, 2016). As in
other societies, in China, the mechanism which generated social cohesion and later statecraft,
was ritualization. Since most of the paraphernalia of early rituals were made as rituals and in
Bronze, such an important function, it is indeed possible to read into the decorations and
forms of these objects of the central concerns that involves societies which produce them.
There were a good number of early centers of bronze technology, but the area that was
along the Yellow River in the present-day refereed to Hanan Province came up as the center
of the more advanced and literate cultures of the period and became the seat of the military
and political power of Shang dynasty (ca. 1600-1050 B.C.), the earliest archeologically that

the period of Warring States, there were seven major states which were contended for
supreme control of the country, thus ending with the unification of China 221 B.C., which
was under Qin.
Despite the fact there are uncertainty as to when metallurgy began in China, there is
also a reason to believe that there was early autonomous development of bronze-working,
which was independent from the influence of outside. The era of the Zhou and Shang
dynasties is basically known as the Bronze Age of China. This is because the bronze, an alloy
of tin and copper, that is used to fashion parts of chariots, ritual vessels and weapons, played a
