In a broader modern sense, decorative items also include movable objects that enhance the visual environment and possess cultural significance, encompassing purely ornamental and functional types.
Decorative items made primarily of copper introduce humanity to copper, whose history is almost as long as the history of human civilization. As early as 10,000 years ago, ancient Egyptians and West Asians learned to use copper to create many everyday items and ornaments. Copper even appeared in hieroglyphics; the ancient Egyptians used a circled cross to represent copper, meaning "eternal life." After the First Emperor unified the six kingdoms, he melted down all the weapons in the land, melted them down into molten copper, and cast twelve golden statues, which stood before the Xianyang Palace… Since then, copper products have gradually permeated all aspects of people's lives. Among these, copper decorative items, represented by Zhu Fu Copper Art, are well-known to most people, allowing them to gain a greater understanding of decorative items.
