Really our people's hoe is really very powerful, these decades the people's hoe does not know how many cultural relics have been dug out, and many of them can be called national treasure level cultural relics, the cultural relics we are going to introduce today is definitely a treasure in the national treasure, once known as one of the 4 national treasures unearthed in modern times, its value is not lost to the stepmother Pentyl.
In fact, it is also a bronze ding, although the weight is only 35 kilograms, but its body is engraved with 500 words of inscription, in fact, there are many kinds of numbers about the inscription, some experts say 498, some say 500, the specific number of really can not be confirmed, anyway is very much.
It is the famous Mao Gongding, Mao Gongding has actually experienced a lot of ups and downs, once almost robbed by the hateful Japanese devils, in fact, The production process of Mao Gongding is not too exquisite, but the value of bronze is not only to see the craft, but to see if there is an inscription.
This Mao Gongding is a bronze that hangs most of the bronzes in terms of inscription numbers, and it is also the earliest Shang Zhou bronze found in China so far, and the inscription on it says that Mao Gong ruled the world in that year, so it has left many valuable historical materials for our descendants.
The excavation of Mao Gongding was also dug out by villagers with a hoe, that is, in 1843, when there was a villager named Dong Chunsheng, Dong Chunsheng accidentally dug out a bronze ding when working in the field, although Dong Chunsheng did not know what it was, but it knew that this should be a treasure.
Unexpectedly, the news that Dong Chunsheng dug up the treasure quickly spread, and someone spent 300 taels to buy it that night, and after that, Mao Gongding was once upside down and displaced, and it flowed into the hands of many people.
With the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Japanese devils have always been very fond of our Chinese cultural relics, after learning that there is such a treasure as Mao Gongding, the Japanese devils began to inquire in many ways, it is bound to get this treasure, the devils learned that this piece is now in the hands of a man named Ye Gongqi, for this reason Ye Gongding did not want Mao Gongding to fall into the hands of the Japanese, he put it in the hands of his nephew, what he did not expect was that the Japanese devils directly arrested his nephew in anger.
In the end, Ye Gongqi was very helpless, but he did not want to give the national treasure to the Japanese, so he specially ordered a fake Mao Gongding, so Mao Gongding successfully escaped the disaster.
With the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Mao Gongding once fell into the hands of Dai Kasa, fortunately, Dai Kasa did not know what it was, and it is said that Mao Gongding was used as a jar for burning documents.
The final ownership of Mao Gongding was carried to Taiwan by the old Chiang Kai-shek, and now it is collected in the National Palace Museum in Taipei, which is an absolute treasure of the town courtyard!
