青铜器的铸造需要高超的手法才能完成，青铜器铸造常用的铸造方法有失蜡法和砂型铸造。
The casting of bronze ware needs superb techniques. The common casting methods of bronze ware casting are wax loss method and sand casting.
失蜡法是古代金属铸造的一种方法。
The lost wax method is a method of ancient metal casting.
用蜡制成模，外敷造型材料，成为整体铸型。加热将蜡化去,形成空腔铸范,浇入液态金属，冷却后得到成型铸件。此法属于“熔模铸造”范畴，一般用于铸造非常精细，形状非常复杂的器具。
The mold is made of wax and coated with molding materials to form an integral mold. The wax is removed by heating to form a cavity casting mold, which is poured into the liquid metal and cooled to obtain the formed casting. This method belongs to the category of "investment casting", which is generally used for casting very fine and complicated instruments.
砂型铸造是在砂型中生产铸件的铸造方法。由于砂型铸造所用的造型材料价廉易得，铸型制造简便，对铸件的单件生产、成批生产和大量生产均能适应，长期以来，一直是铸造生产中的基本工艺。
Sand casting is a casting method to produce castings in sand mold. Because the molding materials used in sand casting are cheap and easy to obtain, and the mold manufacturing is simple, it can adapt to the single production, batch production and mass production of castings. For a long time, it has been the basic process in casting production.
一般用于大型铸件，精细度相对不高。
Generally used for large castings, the precision is relatively low.
现在铸铜雕塑一般采用两种方式相互平配合完成。
At present, copper sculptures are usually made in two ways.
