铜雕文化贯穿于我国整个文明史而形成自具特色、丰富多彩的铜文化。铜文化自它一产生就与中国文化的发展同步，在每个发展时期又铸铭着时代的印记。商周时代铸铜及铜雕艺术已经达到了很高的水平，当时在政治、宗教、生活等领域已经的大量使用铜制品。在秦以后的二千多年里，铜文化概括了社会生活的所有领域，如货币、兵器、邮政、宗教、地震、冶金、天文、建筑、气象、中医学等等，十六国时期铜造像艺术达到了很高的水平，唐代的铜雕像趋于世俗化。宋朝出现了仿古铜雕制品，明清时期的铜雕制品进入了更多的领域。铜文化与其它文化相互渗透、相互作用、同步发展，形成了中国民族的传统文化。铜雕文化和中国铜文化的起源、发展有着密切联系。从历代出土的铜文物就可以看出，每一件作品都铭刻着古人精湛的铜雕技艺。
The bronze carving culture runs through the whole history of civilization in China and forms a copper culture with its own characteristics and rich colors. Copper culture has been synchronized with the development of Chinese culture since it came into being, and has been imprinted with the times in each period of development. The art of bronze casting and carving reached a very high level in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. At that time, bronze products were widely used in politics, religion, life and other fields. In the more than 2000 years after Qin Dynasty, the bronze culture generalized all fields of social life, such as currency, weapons, postal service, religion, earthquake, metallurgy, astronomy, architecture, meteorology, traditional Chinese medicine and so on. The art of bronze statues reached a very high level in the Sixteen Kingdoms period, and the bronze statues in Tang Dynasty tended to be secularized. The antique bronze carving products appeared in the Song Dynasty. The bronze carving products in Ming and Qing Dynasties entered more fields. Copper culture and other cultures infiltrate, interact and develop simultaneously, forming the traditional culture of the Chinese nation. The culture of bronze carving is closely related to the origin and development of Chinese copper culture. As can be seen from the unearthed bronze relics of the past dynasties, each work is engraved with the exquisite bronze carving skills of the ancients.
