銅壁畫又叫銅(tong)浮雕（又叫鏨銅(tong)或(huo)敲(qiao)銅(tong)），是(shi)利(li)用銅(tong)材料的(de)(de)(de)延展(zhan)性興起來得鏨刻工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝(yi)(yi)，是(shi)我國傳統手工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝(yi)(yi)百(bai)花(hua)中的(de)(de)(de)一(yi)枝(zhi)奇葩。之(zhi)中技(ji)術(shu)據今已有幾千年的(de)(de)(de)歷史。 鍛(duan)銅(tong)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝(yi)(yi)品的(de)(de)(de)造(zao)型(xing)，主要為平面的(de)(de)(de)片(pian)活，片(pian)活是(shi)平裝在某(mou)些器物上(shang)或(huo)懸掛(gua)起來供人欣賞。鏨刻工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝(yi)(yi)的(de)(de)(de)操作(zuo)，是(shi)在設計好器行或(huo)圖案后，按(an)照一(yi)定的(de)(de)(de)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝(yi)(yi)流程，以(yi)特制的(de)(de)(de)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)具和特定的(de)(de)(de)技(ji)法(fa)，在金屬板上(shang)加工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)出千變萬化的(de)(de)(de)浮雕狀圖案。完成一(yi)件精美的(de)(de)(de)鏨刻工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝(yi)(yi)品需(xu)要十多道工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝(yi)(yi)流程，加上(shang)技(ji)術(shu)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)人的(de)(de)(de)格調(diao)創造(zao)，匠心獨運地打(da)造(zao)出個性化，現(xian)代(dai)化的(de)(de)(de)雕塑作(zuo)品。 　

      鍛銅(tong)(tong)是(shi)一(yi)種區別于鑄(zhu)銅(tong)(tong)的工(gong)(gong)(gong)藝，是(shi)在銅(tong)(tong)板上(shang)進行創作，利用銅(tong)(tong)板加熱后質地變軟(ruan)，錘打后又恢(hui)復(fu)(fu)堅硬的特(te)性，重復(fu)(fu)這一(yi)過程，最終制作出藝術(shu)作品(pin)或(huo)其(qi)它生活、工(gong)(gong)(gong)業用品(pin)。隨著人(ren)民生活水平和(he)審美情(qing)趣(qu)的提升(sheng)，鍛銅(tong)(tong)這一(yi)傳統工(gong)(gong)(gong)藝尤其(qi)在工(gong)(gong)(gong)藝美術(shu)領域(yu)受到(dao)越來越多設計師和(he)大眾的喜(xi)愛(ai)。 　

      火、錘(chui)子(zi)和鏨子(zi)是(shi)鍛(duan)銅(tong)(tong)(tong)的三(san)個重要(yao)(yao)元素(su)。小(xiao)型(xing)鍛(duan)銅(tong)(tong)(tong)工藝作(zuo)品或大型(xing)浮(fu)雕局部(bu)加工可以(yi)采取(qu)氧(yang)氣加乙炔產生的高(gao)溫加熱(re)(re)，大型(xing)作(zuo)品就需要(yao)(yao)生爐火鼓風加熱(re)(re)。加熱(re)(re)這(zhe)一環節(jie)相(xiang)對容(rong)易。加熱(re)(re)后(hou)的銅(tong)(tong)(tong)板要(yao)(yao)用皮錘(chui)敲打平(ping)整。
