銅壁畫又(you)叫銅(tong)浮雕（又(you)叫鏨銅(tong)或敲銅(tong)），是(shi)(shi)利用(yong)銅(tong)材料的(de)(de)(de)(de)延展性(xing)興起來(lai)得(de)鏨刻工(gong)(gong)(gong)藝，是(shi)(shi)我(wo)國傳統(tong)手工(gong)(gong)(gong)藝百(bai)花(hua)中的(de)(de)(de)(de)一(yi)枝奇葩(pa)。之中技(ji)術據(ju)今已有幾千(qian)年的(de)(de)(de)(de)歷史(shi)。 鍛(duan)銅(tong)工(gong)(gong)(gong)藝品(pin)的(de)(de)(de)(de)造型，主要為平面(mian)的(de)(de)(de)(de)片(pian)活，片(pian)活是(shi)(shi)平裝(zhuang)在某些器物上或懸掛起來(lai)供人(ren)欣賞。鏨刻工(gong)(gong)(gong)藝的(de)(de)(de)(de)操作，是(shi)(shi)在設計好器行或圖案后，按(an)照一(yi)定的(de)(de)(de)(de)工(gong)(gong)(gong)藝流(liu)(liu)程，以特(te)制的(de)(de)(de)(de)工(gong)(gong)(gong)具和特(te)定的(de)(de)(de)(de)技(ji)法，在金(jin)屬板上加工(gong)(gong)(gong)出千(qian)變萬(wan)化(hua)(hua)的(de)(de)(de)(de)浮雕狀圖案。完(wan)成一(yi)件精(jing)美的(de)(de)(de)(de)鏨刻工(gong)(gong)(gong)藝品(pin)需要十(shi)多道工(gong)(gong)(gong)藝流(liu)(liu)程，加上技(ji)術工(gong)(gong)(gong)人(ren)的(de)(de)(de)(de)格調創造，匠心獨運地(di)打造出個性(xing)化(hua)(hua)，現(xian)代(dai)化(hua)(hua)的(de)(de)(de)(de)雕塑作品(pin)。 　

      鍛銅(tong)(tong)(tong)是(shi)一(yi)種區(qu)別于鑄銅(tong)(tong)(tong)的(de)(de)工(gong)藝(yi)(yi)，是(shi)在(zai)銅(tong)(tong)(tong)板上進(jin)行創作，利用(yong)銅(tong)(tong)(tong)板加熱后質地(di)變(bian)軟(ruan)，錘打后又恢復(fu)堅硬的(de)(de)特性，重復(fu)這一(yi)過程，最終制作出藝(yi)(yi)術作品(pin)或其(qi)它(ta)生(sheng)活、工(gong)業用(yong)品(pin)。隨著人民生(sheng)活水平(ping)和(he)審美情趣的(de)(de)提升(sheng)，鍛銅(tong)(tong)(tong)這一(yi)傳統工(gong)藝(yi)(yi)尤其(qi)在(zai)工(gong)藝(yi)(yi)美術領域受(shou)到越來越多設(she)計師和(he)大(da)眾的(de)(de)喜愛。 　

      火(huo)、錘(chui)子(zi)和鏨子(zi)是鍛銅(tong)的三個重要(yao)(yao)元素(su)。小型鍛銅(tong)工(gong)藝作(zuo)品(pin)或大型浮雕局部(bu)加(jia)(jia)工(gong)可以(yi)采取氧氣(qi)加(jia)(jia)乙炔產生的高溫加(jia)(jia)熱，大型作(zuo)品(pin)就需要(yao)(yao)生爐火(huo)鼓風加(jia)(jia)熱。加(jia)(jia)熱這一環節(jie)相對容易。加(jia)(jia)熱后的銅(tong)板(ban)要(yao)(yao)用皮錘(chui)敲打平整。
