Before the Yin, Shang and Western Zhou Dynasty, bronze mirrors were special tools for royal family members and senior nobles. The common people did not have the chance to enjoy it. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, ordinary nobles could use it. Since the Qin and Han dynasties, it has become a daily utensil for ordinary people. Therefore, the bronze mirrors we see are all from the Ming and Qing Dynasties in the Warring States Period, and later replaced by glass mirrors.
