銅壁畫又叫銅浮雕（又叫鏨(zan)銅或敲(qiao)銅），是利用銅材料(liao)的(de)延展性(xing)興起來得鏨(zan)刻(ke)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝，是我國傳統手(shou)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝百花中的(de)一(yi)枝奇葩。之中技術據(ju)今已有幾千(qian)年的(de)歷史(shi)。 鍛銅工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝品(pin)的(de)造(zao)(zao)型，主要(yao)為平面的(de)片活，片活是平裝在(zai)某些器物(wu)上(shang)或懸掛起來供人欣(xin)賞。鏨(zan)刻(ke)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝的(de)操作，是在(zai)設計好器行或圖案后，按照一(yi)定的(de)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝流程(cheng)，以(yi)特制的(de)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)具(ju)和特定的(de)技法，在(zai)金屬板上(shang)加工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)出千(qian)變萬化(hua)的(de)浮雕狀圖案。完成(cheng)一(yi)件精(jing)美(mei)的(de)鏨(zan)刻(ke)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝品(pin)需要(yao)十多(duo)道工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝流程(cheng)，加上(shang)技術工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)人的(de)格(ge)調創造(zao)(zao)，匠(jiang)心獨運地(di)打造(zao)(zao)出個(ge)性(xing)化(hua)，現代(dai)化(hua)的(de)雕塑作品(pin)。 　

      鍛銅(tong)(tong)是一種(zhong)區別(bie)于鑄銅(tong)(tong)的工(gong)(gong)藝，是在銅(tong)(tong)板(ban)上進行(xing)創作(zuo)，利(li)用銅(tong)(tong)板(ban)加(jia)熱(re)后質(zhi)地變軟，錘打后又恢(hui)復堅硬的特性，重(zhong)復這(zhe)一過程，最終制作(zuo)出藝術作(zuo)品或其它生活、工(gong)(gong)業用品。隨著人民生活水平和(he)審美情(qing)趣的提(ti)升，鍛銅(tong)(tong)這(zhe)一傳(chuan)統(tong)工(gong)(gong)藝尤(you)其在工(gong)(gong)藝美術領域受到(dao)越來越多設計師(shi)和(he)大眾的喜愛。 　

      火(huo)、錘(chui)子(zi)和鏨子(zi)是(shi)鍛銅的(de)三個(ge)重要元素。小型(xing)鍛銅工藝(yi)作(zuo)品或大型(xing)浮雕局部加(jia)(jia)(jia)(jia)(jia)工可以采取(qu)氧(yang)氣加(jia)(jia)(jia)(jia)(jia)乙(yi)炔產生(sheng)的(de)高溫加(jia)(jia)(jia)(jia)(jia)熱(re)(re)，大型(xing)作(zuo)品就(jiu)需要生(sheng)爐火(huo)鼓(gu)風加(jia)(jia)(jia)(jia)(jia)熱(re)(re)。加(jia)(jia)(jia)(jia)(jia)熱(re)(re)這一環節相(xiang)對容易。加(jia)(jia)(jia)(jia)(jia)熱(re)(re)后的(de)銅板要用(yong)皮(pi)錘(chui)敲打平整。
