銅鏡是中國古代青銅藝術中的燦爛瑰寶，中國銅鏡素以“裝飾繁縟、制作精美”著稱于世。各朝各代對銅鏡藝術均有創造，或古樸、或靈巧、華麗、或素雅，制作工藝更是各有千秋。，銅鏡以天地方為形，天圓在中國古代是豐滿、完整、吉祥、美好、富足的象征，在漢語中團圓、圓滿是祥和的詞語。因此，圓形鏡一直是銅鏡的重要形式。
The bronze mirror is a splendid treasure in ancient Chinese bronze art. It is famous for its complicated decoration and exquisite production. The bronze mirror art was created in different dynasties, either simple, smart, gorgeous, or elegant, and the production technology has its own advantages. In ancient China, the round sky is a symbol of fullness, integrity, auspiciousness, beauty and abundance. In Chinese, reunion and completeness are auspicious words. Therefore, the circular mirror has always been an important form of copper mirror.

The bronze mirrors are round, rectangular, square, diamond, sunflower, shield, bottle, bell, peach, etc. The patterns have their own characteristics: in the Yin and Shang Dynasties, veins, parallel lines, and multiple circles of convex strings were used; in the Western Zhou Dynasty, heavy rings, birds and animals were used; in the spring and Autumn period and Warring States period, mountain characters, phoenix patterns, and flat patterns were used; in the Han Dynasty, in addition to the Warring States mirror patterns, the most popular patterns were regular patterns (local patterns), grass leaves patterns, nebulae patterns, even arc inscriptions, and bat shaped persimmons Tilian arc pattern, etc.; in the Three Kingdoms, two Jin and southern and Northern Dynasties, animal pattern, deformed four leaf pattern, auspicious animal pattern, etc.; in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, auspicious animal pattern, four God pattern, flower and bird pattern, Baoxiang pattern, sea animal grape pattern, twelve zodiac image pattern, etc.; since the Five Dynasties, due to political changes, bronze mirror casting also has obvious era differences and unique national style.
銅鏡，大體分為鏡面，即鏡的正面，光亮可以照面；鏡背，上面多鑄有各種紋飾和銘文；鏡鈕，即在鏡背中央，有孔可以系繩，可用手持或系在鏡臺上；鈕座，即鈕的周圍，緊連鈕的裝飾部分。另外還分內區、中區、外區，即指鏡背配置紋飾的各部分；銘帶，即指鑄有銘文的部分，鏡銘即指鏡背上所鑄的銘文。而到了明清時期，銅鏡逐漸以花紋、神獸為紋飾，而銘文銅鏡則逐漸消失。
