Detailed explanation-1: -The Xia Dynasty (twenty‐first century to sixteenth century BCE) had evolved into the Bronze Age. In Erlitou Cultural Ruins, Yanshi County, Henan Providence, remains of foundry workshops have been discovered where bronze sacrificial vessels, weapons, implements, and casting moulds have been excavated.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Chinese bronze workers used simple and composite piece mold techniques for most of their history while the West had been using lost wax bronze casting as far back as 3500 BC [8].
Detailed explanation-3: -The Bronze Age in China began around 2000 BCE, and the earliest excavated ritual bronze vessels date to around 1600 BCE. Found in tombs, these vessels were made for use in rites performed on an ancestral altar or cast specifically for burial with the dead.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Shang dynasty (c. 1600–1046 bce) The earliest examples of bronze vessels were unearthed in Erlitou, near the modern city of Luoyang in Henan province, which may or may not represent the earliest named Shang capital, Po, if not a still earlier Xia dynasty site.
