The cast then stems does not necessarily include the first

If it is cast then, after the increase (Figure 8) from the Ministry of labor, after the cast then may not see the pick marks. Ornamentation Giga heat, so that gradually the expansion of the volume of wood to knock wood cushioned grid Ministry from the Ministry of folders firmly in the vise on the beat for a while and found loose decoration grid slowly retreat from the Ministry of off. At this point, a new understanding of the cast bronze sword process has been confirmed. Grid is stepping down after a purple similar to mica sparkling decorations inside the growth cuprous sulfide, and ornamentation grid is no longer less than the original location. The year Pan got the Da Ke Ding, this particular bronze, which is December 1890, Pan Zuyin died of sickness in Beijing. Figure 9 above, the residual bronze sword by the heated gradually torn off and the grid map. As to be cast into bronze blade and stem of the grid within the long-closed, the end of the bronze blade in the box surface and the extra surface to generate a distinct color.
Due to the 2,000 years of burial, and generates a layer of light green paint ancient bronze blade surface exposed, to be cast into bronze blade and stem of the grid within the remained of the original cast layer, only a very slight red rust layer, resulting in not backspace mistaken for two different alloy, which is mistaken for the grid to insert eight square copper bar reason. Standing range of cast logical point of view to look at the finished product of the Warring States bronze sword, one can assume that most of the bronze swords in front of us is a sham, and its truth when the cast straight from the stem, for the casting of bronze swords, bronze sword body only The cast grid and the first cast after the first grinding. Thus, when Pan passed away, his brother inherited his all heritage, including the two bronze.
 The processing is completed, and then bronze blade caught in the cast grid, stems, first in the range. Such as depicted in the chart below, cast grid behind the bronze sword, wheel vertical processing, can be left out of the middle of the ridge, horizontal processing, open edge without injury to pass, grid does not exist. Taking care of the funeral of Pan Zuyin, Pan Zunian transported numerous relics including the two bronze back to his hometown. Can be seen in many bronze sword blade wear scar left by the horizontal processing, it seems mostly bronze sword should be through vertical machining bronze sword from, from the Ministry of processing after, but also through the horizontal processing blade, recast then the stem. The cast then stems does not necessarily include the first, also a considerable part of bronze sword then cast.
 It would appear that a considerable part of bronze sword was not a cast, but casting two, three or even four times. Realize this point, the copper in the folder into the stem in Figure 3, in fact, outside stems and bronze blade for the whole stem, outside for the cast then. If this stem is not (Figure 9) isolated cases, Ezhou City Museum there are two cases have also seen in the other place. Did not understand all that a coin is inserted in the stem. Therefrom, he took over from his brother the mission to keep safe these national treasures, including that bronze. Figure 10 for the other two angles of the stems of residual bronze sword, this bronze sculpture concentric ornamentation cell, stem residues of about 12cm, this bronze sword is also a decorated lattice, its lattice Ministry width is only about 4cm, whole body the ancient color of black lacquer.
