銅壁畫又(you)叫銅(tong)浮雕（又(you)叫鏨銅(tong)或(huo)(huo)敲銅(tong)），是(shi)(shi)利(li)用(yong)銅(tong)材料的(de)(de)(de)延展性興起來(lai)得鏨刻工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝(yi)，是(shi)(shi)我(wo)國傳統手工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝(yi)百花中(zhong)的(de)(de)(de)一(yi)枝奇葩。之中(zhong)技(ji)(ji)術(shu)據今已有幾千年的(de)(de)(de)歷史(shi)。 鍛銅(tong)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝(yi)品的(de)(de)(de)造(zao)型，主要為平面(mian)的(de)(de)(de)片活，片活是(shi)(shi)平裝在(zai)某些器(qi)物上(shang)或(huo)(huo)懸(xuan)掛起來(lai)供人欣賞。鏨刻工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝(yi)的(de)(de)(de)操作，是(shi)(shi)在(zai)設計好(hao)器(qi)行或(huo)(huo)圖案(an)后，按照一(yi)定的(de)(de)(de)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝(yi)流程(cheng)，以特制的(de)(de)(de)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)具(ju)和特定的(de)(de)(de)技(ji)(ji)法，在(zai)金屬板上(shang)加(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)出千變萬(wan)化的(de)(de)(de)浮雕狀(zhuang)圖案(an)。完成一(yi)件精(jing)美的(de)(de)(de)鏨刻工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝(yi)品需要十多道工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝(yi)流程(cheng)，加(jia)上(shang)技(ji)(ji)術(shu)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)人的(de)(de)(de)格調創造(zao)，匠心獨運地打造(zao)出個性化，現代化的(de)(de)(de)雕塑作品。 　

      鍛銅(tong)(tong)是一(yi)種區別于鑄銅(tong)(tong)的工(gong)藝，是在(zai)銅(tong)(tong)板上(shang)進行創作，利用銅(tong)(tong)板加(jia)熱后質地變軟(ruan)，錘打后又恢(hui)復(fu)堅硬的特性，重復(fu)這(zhe)一(yi)過程，最(zui)終制作出藝術作品或其(qi)它生活、工(gong)業用品。隨著人民生活水平和審(shen)美(mei)情(qing)趣(qu)的提(ti)升，鍛銅(tong)(tong)這(zhe)一(yi)傳統(tong)工(gong)藝尤其(qi)在(zai)工(gong)藝美(mei)術領(ling)域(yu)受到越來越多設計師和大眾的喜愛(ai)。 　

      火、錘(chui)子(zi)(zi)和鏨(zan)子(zi)(zi)是鍛銅的三個重要元素(su)。小型(xing)鍛銅工(gong)藝(yi)作品或大(da)型(xing)浮(fu)雕局部加(jia)(jia)(jia)工(gong)可(ke)以采(cai)取(qu)氧氣加(jia)(jia)(jia)乙(yi)炔產生的高溫加(jia)(jia)(jia)熱(re)(re)，大(da)型(xing)作品就需要生爐火鼓風加(jia)(jia)(jia)熱(re)(re)。加(jia)(jia)(jia)熱(re)(re)這一環節相對(dui)容易。加(jia)(jia)(jia)熱(re)(re)后的銅板要用皮錘(chui)敲打平(ping)整(zheng)。
