《中國的響銅》一書堪稱響銅研究的聖經與教科書，蘇富比這件秦峰男舊藏的拍品是這本著錄編號9的北朝響銅，曾於1999年在日本和泉市久保惣記念美術館舉辦的專題展覽中展出。這場史詩般的響銅展覽，被收藏家與學者們奉為絕對經典，至今仍是業界標杆。该書二手市場價格已逼近一萬港元。

能擁有一件經此書著錄且參與過這場經典展覽的北朝響銅，是眾多響銅收藏家畢生的夢想。響銅長期以來一直是小圈子內備受追捧的熱點品種，同時也是造假重災區。相關學術文章並不多見，大多數研究仍高度依賴這本近三十年前出版的經典圖錄。

The book Tin-Bronze of China (中國の響銅) is widely regarded as the bible and definitive textbook for the study of Chinese xiangtong (響銅, tin-bronze or resonant bronze). Its catalogued item No. 9 — a Northern Dynasties xiangtong — was exhibited in the landmark 1999 special exhibition at the Kuboso Memorial Museum of Art in Izumi, Japan. This epic exhibition of resonant bronzes has been revered by collectors and scholars as an absolute classic and remains the gold standard in the field. Second-hand copies of the catalogue now command prices approaching HKD 10,000.

Owning a Northern Dynasties xiangtong that is both published in this book and exhibited in that historic show is a lifelong dream for many dedicated collectors. Xiangtong has long been a highly sought-after niche category within connoisseur circles, yet it is also one of the most heavily faked. Academic articles on the subject remain scarce, and most research continues to rely heavily on this seminal catalogue published nearly thirty years ago.
