Anotations

Scope note:

Scripts cast or carved on Chinese bronze wares, appearing during the Shang, Western Zhou, and Eastern Zhou periods; were especially popular in the Western Zhou (11th century BCE to 771 BCE). Bronze scripts were derived from oracle bone scripts, and are considered by later antiquarians as containing primitive and archaic aesthetic values.
