明代铜镜概述

摘要

After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the manufacture of bronze mirrors developed rapidly because of the prosperity of handicraft industry and commodity economy. While inheriting the tradition, mirror handicraftsmen innovated decorative patterns and formed a unique style. Based on unearthed archaeological materials and handed-down objects, this article analyzes the types of Ming bronze mirrors in the terms of shape, form, decorative pattern and inscription and suggests possible casting date.%明朝建立后，随着手工业和商品经济的繁荣，铜镜铸造业获得了很大发展。铸镜工匠在继承传统的同时，对纹饰等方面进行创新，形成了独特的时代风格。本文结合考古出土资料和传世品，从形制、纹饰、铭文等方面对明代铜镜的类型加以分析，并在此基础上对铸造时间提出了看法。
