| Chinese Bronze Age is the age which takes slave possession system as the leading mode of production. It has a history of fifteen centuries. Nowadaqys, the research of ancient Bronze Age is an important branch of archaeology and arts history.However, at present, there are few research achievements on the design of bronze in domestic exhibition. Although exhibition planner, organizer and art designer once gave their thought and explanation of design in terms of concrete cases, they are still poor in theoretical discussion about formal regulations and the model of information conveyance of bronze exhibition.In collected articles of Ji Lin University, there are some bronzes. Ji Lin University plans to build an archaeology and art museum. The staff of this plan makes their contribution to Chinese exhibition theory, and they have an enthusiasm of serving for Alma Mater. This paper summarizes general regulations of bronze exhibition, which is expected to be proved in the future practice.This paper starts from the status quo of domestic main bronze museum, review status quo of bronze career, and analyze necessity and possibility of discussing some relevant problems of bronze exhibition. The most important task of this paper is to show the basic task of bronze research, and that is making historical heritage be available to modern people who is to know arts achievement and social aesthetic in Bronze Age through the exhibition of museum, thus know culture, history, ancestor and self. In view of this consideration, it is necessary to start from the audiences' aesthetic capability, and gradually go to deeper work. For content, it contains general summary and emphasis of important part. For expression, it is necessary to distinguish basic exhibition from important bronzes and combine modern aesthetic decoration factors to break formal confinement. The exhibition is expected to be easily understood and appreciated by all the public, thus expecting their liking, knowing and memorizing. In exhibition, the questions of the public and their puzzles shall be answered.On the basis of the above-consideration, we shall make consideration on some factors of bronze exhibition itself and relevant problems.First, the museum exhibition is a system project. Design programme shall be based on the structure of exhibition outline. Exhibition subject and outline are the soul of the whole exhibition. Although they will not be shown to the public, the function of outline is like director's script. Exhibition must present the subject scientifically, systemically, selectively in order to obey visible characteristics of bronze museum exhibition.Second, space is an important factor of bronze exhibition formal design. From static perspective, it refers to applying physical technique and aesthetic principles to realize certain utilizing function, and to create an environment with reasonable functions and comfortable atmosphere, therefore people are willing to stop and appreciate the environment. From dynamic perspective, the reasonable control and plan on the visiting path of the audiences in museum are needed, because it is a changeable system and it plays an important role in realizing the purpose of exhibition and museum's own spatial plan. For the formation of ordered and sequential visiting dynamic path, the random and selective nature can be used to ease audience and help them to visit freely in common scientific and reasonable space, thus achieve necessary exhibition effect.Third, the counter of exhibition is the most basic and important equipment in all the bronze exhibition equipments of museum. Its shape, color, material quality and art style greatly influence art effect of the whole exhibition, and they should be in line with the technical requirements of preservation of cultural relics, safety of cultural relics, aesthetics visual effect as well as operation. All kinds of exhibition counter such as common counter, individual counter, niche utensil combination counter, and counter with special shape, all have their special characteristics and requirements.Fourth, the design of ceiling and ground shall be considered. Although they are often ignored, they influence the public's perception and spirit activity. The beauty of bronze exhibition is from spatial atmosphere. Especially in special culture atmosphere, mechanism and texture of ceiling as well as the design of separated wall usually is able to discern a question of major principle from minor issues.Fifth, renew of scene can be set off environment directly, which is a kind of exhibition mode bringing people to be present on the scene. It is only through the exhibition of renewing scene that the problem of difference of the public's understanding on the basis of different perception capabilities can be solved.Sixth, the multimedia auxiliary exhibition is the necessary modern element in bronze display. Audiences obtain lots of visual and auditory experiences by clicking and choosing dynamic video and audio by themselves, and these experiences are irreplaceable. In addition, many intangible cultural heritages could be expressed within limited spaces only by using multimedia ways. Thus, the humane simple media manipulation is the important part in modern museum.At last, some other relative traditional exhibition, such as static board with pictures and illustrations, demonstrative board with pictures and illustrations, operative interactive board with pictures and illustrations, and auxiliary organic framework in display. All these implements also play a significant role in bronze display.Of course, the bronze protection can not be neglected in exhibition. It needs not only the common chemical protection but also the special safeguard as bronze. During the process of displaying the precious bronze historical object, all the points above should be paid attention to.After explaining some serious problems in nowaday bronze exhibition, it is necessary and profitable to concern and talk about the conventional model and developing trend.Concerning conventional model, the temporal problems should be considered firstly, and that is the ages of bronzes displayed. The exhibition, which abides by this arranging regular, can make the exhibition be well-organized, be logical and be easily comprehended together with historical events of the same age and can meet audiences' mental supplication much better. That is the relationship between "early" and "late", the first aspect. Secondly, it is the relationship between "point" and "line". Implements' spatial displaying position is the fixed "point", and audiences' visiting moving lines and mobile "line". The "point" must be bright and becomes the attention point, and it can attract visitors to watch; "line" must be well-ordered as winding path leading to seclusions and avoid too much repeatable route and overlooking displaying lines. Thirdly, it is the relationship between "void" and "reality". Tangible exhibition combines with intangible exhibition and display of material object unites with display of data media. Fourthly, arrange in proper proportions the independent display and concentrated combined display in accordance with implements' characteristics to deal with the relationship between "loose" and "numerous" in order to adjust audiences' visiting fatigue and to stress focal point which can give audiences profound impressions. Fifthly, control the relationship between "bright" and "dark" through lamplight so as to produce atmosphere, focus on stress, and then help the exhibition to reach an excellent effect.Developing trend concerns from collection to exhibition, from appreciation to education, and instruct by pleasurable means which enable museums' fixed position change from human-oriented to thing-oriented. Among them, the most important meaning lies in finding out the interesting points of non-specialized audiences that always neglected by insiders, for instance implements' allusion, use, value and appraising real and not etc. Some relevant information can be afforded in the exhibition to indulge their curiosity. Besides, we need to emphasize once again the importance of new media in museum exhibition. Museum has the function of studying, displaying and social education; therefore various new media displaying method are really helpful and must be focused to a higher degree.By way of the inspection of the characteristics, politic value, historic value, aesthetic artistic value and casting technology valve of Chinese bronze and the analysis of many domestic and foreign latest representatives displaying precedent, the final parts of this paper give the displaying concept, exhibiting method, and implement protection of bronze exhibition as follows:First, establish the aim and objective audiences of this bronze exhibition through designing exhibition.Second, scatter the structure of displaying spaces, program the tempo of visiting line and displaying node, and construct the displaying spatial effect that conform to the connotation of the exhibition subject by suspended ceiling, ground mold-making and the handling of texture effect.Third, refine the decorative patterns and form of bronze to endow the displaying subject of various kinds of display cabinet etc. some relevant information.Fourth, enlarge the display node of the display subject and attract effectively audiences' visiting interest so that to realize the valid propagation of displaying information by means of the presence of proto-pattern and stage art setting.Fifth, enrich the levels of displaying connotation through electronic equipment video and multimedia etc.Sixth, make the cultural connotation of bronze further conform to modern audiences' information reading and comprehending habit in information diffusing pattern by the auxiliary method of all displaying boards and models at all levels. |
