1972年,在河北藁城县台西村商代遗址中发现了铁刃青铜钺(古兵器),铁刃由陨铁制成。这一发现说明,我国早在商代中期已经掌握了一定的锻铁技术并对陨铁有了认识。1974年,对湖北大冶铜绿山古铜矿的发掘情况得知,在春秋时代的矿井中,采矿工具有铜无铁;而战国时代的矿井中,采矿工具则有铁无铜。由此说明,我国春秋战国时代是由铜器向铁器过渡的时代,也就是说至迟在这一时代(公元前五、六世纪间),我国采铁矿、炼铁、用铁已面向生产,比欧洲至少早一千八、九百年。
In 1972, a bronze sword (ancient weapon) was found in the site of the Shang Dynasty in Taixi Village, Yuncheng County, Hebei Province. The iron blade was made of meteorite. This finding shows that as early as the mid Shang Dynasty, China has mastered a certain amount of wrought iron technology and got an understanding of it. In 1974, the excavation of the Tonglushan ancient copper mine in Daye, Hubei Province revealed that among the mines of the Spring and Autumn Period, mining tools were copper-free and iron-free; and in the mines of the Warring States Period, there were iron-free copper mining tools. This shows that the era of China’s Spring and Autumn Period is from the era of bronze to iron transition, that is to say at this era (BC, between the sixth and sixth centuries), China’s iron ore mining, ironmaking, iron has been for production , At least one thousand eight hundred or nine hundred years earlier than in Europe.
