而铜佛像的产生与铜雕有关,铜雕产生于商周,是以铜料为胚,运用雕刻、铸塑等手法制作的一种雕塑。铜雕艺术主要表现了造型、质感、纹饰的美,多用于表现神秘有威慑力的宗教题材。铜佛像也因此产生。

在古代铜器物中,每个朝代的皇帝都偏爱于佛像,以至于铜器物中,以铜佛像最为尊贵。唐以前的佛像艺术价值较高,但因存世有限,市场上非常罕见。明清的金铜佛像就构成了今天中国古代佛像投资市场的主体。明代铸造金铜佛像非常兴盛。
Among the ancient bronze objects, emperors of every dynasty preferred Buddha statues, so that among the bronze objects, the bronze Buddha statues were the most noble.

The gold and bronze Buddha statues of Ming and Qing Dynasties constitute the main body of the investment market of ancient Buddha statues in China today. The casting of gold and bronze Buddha statues was very prosperous in Ming Dynasty.

In the current antique collection market, calligraphy, painting, porcelain, jade and so on are common, common, the public will also have aesthetic fatigue. As a result, people have quietly shifted their goals to other antique decorations, and Buddha statue decoration is one of the hot spots. Especially in modern society, the concept of "Buddhism" caused by the younger generation also affects the antique world. Whether it is an entry-level collector or or a senior collector, there will inevitably be three or five Buddhist statues in the house, including jade, porcelain, bronze and other Buddhist statues. Among them, the most popular ones are bronze Buddha statues, especially brass Buddha statues and bronze Buddha statues. There are three reasons. First, it is not easy to damage. The vulnerability rate of jade Buddha statues or porcelain Buddha statues is higher than that of bronze Buddha statues. If a child is not careful, he will break one. Second, it is scarce. Jade Buddha statues and porcelain Buddha statues are better than bronze Buddha statues, and most of them are modern crafts and few. In ancient times, many of them have disappeared in the long history. Only the bronze Buddha statues are not easily damaged and can be preserved till now.
