銅壁畫又(you)叫(jiao)銅(tong)浮(fu)雕（又(you)叫(jiao)鏨銅(tong)或(huo)敲銅(tong)），是(shi)利用銅(tong)材料的(de)(de)(de)延(yan)展性(xing)(xing)興起來得鏨刻工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝(yi)，是(shi)我國傳統手工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝(yi)百花(hua)中(zhong)的(de)(de)(de)一枝奇(qi)葩。之中(zhong)技(ji)(ji)術據(ju)今已有幾千年的(de)(de)(de)歷(li)史。 鍛銅(tong)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝(yi)品的(de)(de)(de)造(zao)型，主要(yao)為平面的(de)(de)(de)片活，片活是(shi)平裝在某些器物上(shang)或(huo)懸掛起來供人欣賞。鏨刻工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝(yi)的(de)(de)(de)操作，是(shi)在設計好器行(xing)或(huo)圖案后，按照一定的(de)(de)(de)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝(yi)流程，以(yi)特制的(de)(de)(de)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)具和特定的(de)(de)(de)技(ji)(ji)法，在金屬板上(shang)加工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)出千變萬化的(de)(de)(de)浮(fu)雕狀圖案。完(wan)成一件精(jing)美的(de)(de)(de)鏨刻工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝(yi)品需要(yao)十多道(dao)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝(yi)流程，加上(shang)技(ji)(ji)術工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)人的(de)(de)(de)格調創(chuang)造(zao)，匠(jiang)心獨運地打造(zao)出個(ge)性(xing)(xing)化，現(xian)代化的(de)(de)(de)雕塑作品。 　

      鍛銅(tong)是一種區別于鑄銅(tong)的工(gong)(gong)藝，是在(zai)銅(tong)板(ban)上進行(xing)創作(zuo)，利用(yong)銅(tong)板(ban)加熱后質地變軟，錘(chui)打后又(you)恢復堅硬的特性，重復這一過(guo)程，最終制(zhi)作(zuo)出藝術(shu)作(zuo)品或其它生活、工(gong)(gong)業用(yong)品。隨著(zhu)人(ren)民生活水平(ping)和審美(mei)情趣的提升(sheng)，鍛銅(tong)這一傳統(tong)工(gong)(gong)藝尤(you)其在(zai)工(gong)(gong)藝美(mei)術(shu)領域受到(dao)越(yue)來越(yue)多設計師(shi)和大眾的喜愛。 　

      火、錘子和鏨子是鍛銅(tong)的三個重要元素。小型鍛銅(tong)工藝(yi)作品或大(da)型浮雕局部加(jia)工可以采取氧氣加(jia)乙炔產(chan)生(sheng)的高(gao)溫加(jia)熱(re)，大(da)型作品就(jiu)需要生(sheng)爐火鼓風(feng)加(jia)熱(re)。加(jia)熱(re)這一環節相對容易。加(jia)熱(re)后的銅(tong)板要用皮錘敲打平整。
