Bronze wolf head sculpture knowledge
What confused me is the grave groups where beside the gate the sad relatives saw the bronze wolf head sculpture. On the wolf’s right was a bronze goat sculpture gazing at distant hills. Enemies here got together with green lawn and trees. It was said by a critic, quality of a wolf is definitely a good symbol of Chinese people’s potential spirit of freedom that greatly oppressed in a long period of time.When a nation admire a core quality of wolf, people in it would get more cruel than that ever invaded them.
In china, as a typical cultural carrier in daily life, bronze is a host in all the metals which are used for making containers.whereas, quality of a goat or sheep is to some extent a symbol of someone’s being enslaved. A wolf and a goat, a pair of animals lie in two sides of the food chain, are all along regarded as a proper metaphor of human being’s two sides in the character as a coin. In reality, they become another metaphor of all walks of life oppose to each other. I also think there should be some middle walk of society like a bronze gun dog sculpture to mediate between these two group of people. This is why a cluster of goats need to be protected by the gun dogs.
