工序
working procedure
铜雕的制作一般都要经过金属冶炼、锻造、雕刻、镀金、磨光、上红等几个重要的工序。工序比较复杂，工艺也十分考究。
The bronze production generally go through several important process metal smelting, forging, polishing, carving, gold, red etc.. The process is more complex and the process is very thorough.
铸造方法
Casting method
铜雕的铸造方法主要有两种，即失蜡和模具法。现代新出现的由朱炳仁创造的熔铜法，掌握的人群比较少。
There are two main types of bronze casting method, namely the lost wax mold and method. The new molten copper method invented by Zhu Bingren now has relatively few crowds.
失蜡法：用蜡制成模，外敷造型材料，成为整体铸型。
Loss of wax method: wax mold, external application of molding materials, become the whole mold.
模具法：运用广泛，大型铜雕一般都要经过分件浇铸，然后衔接成一个整体。
Method: the mold is widely used, large bronze usually after casting, and then connected into a whole.
熔铜法：运用无模可控熔铸工艺，“无模”使铜液自然流畅而解形；“可控”使铜液在艺术家掌控中熔意。
Melting copper method: using the mold free controllable casting process, "mould free" makes the copper liquid flow smoothly and solves the shape. "Controllable" makes the copper liquid melt in the artist's control.

造型与纹饰
Modeling and ornamentation
其造型多成威严粗犷、端庄沉稳之态，表现出坚实浑厚、富丽辉煌的质感。铜雕的纹饰主要为饕餮纹，或以动物头部造型，再以鸟、兽、虫、鱼部分形体组成抽象的图案来衬托铜雕造型。
Its shape is mostly dignified, rugged, dignified and steady. It shows a solid, thick, splendid texture. The ornamentation of the bronze carving is mainly the gluttonous grain, or the animal head shape, and then the abstract pattern of birds, animals, insects and fish forms an example of copper sculpture.
