In the Central Plains, the fine arts of the Zhou Dynasty are mainly bronzes and pottery, with superb craftsmanship and decorative skills. Among them, the most representative ones are the bronze tripod and the four sheep square statue, whose casting technology is complex and beautifully decorated, reflecting the aesthetic taste and cultural level of the aristocratic class in Zhou Dynasty.
Many unique works of art have also appeared in the surrounding areas, including the eastern and southern parts of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the northern Rongdi area. These works of art are different from the Central Plains in form, style, decoration and theme, reflecting the regional cultural characteristics and national characteristics of each region. For example, Chu bronzes and Yue bronzes in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty have a strong regional style, while barbarian pottery and bamboo products in the southern region have primitive and natural characteristics, while bronzes and bone wares in Rongdi region have rough and primitive characteristics.
Generally speaking, the relationship between the Central Plains and the surrounding fine arts in the two-week period is a mutual influence and reference. The Central Plains fine arts have certain influence and attraction on the surrounding areas, and the fine arts in the surrounding areas have also injected new elements and vitality into the Central Plains fine arts. This interaction and exchange had a positive impact on the development and evolution of ancient art in China.
