Henan unearthed a 3,000-year-old rice cooker, but it has become a national treasure, expert: the world's lonely product
Have you ever seen a rice cooker from 3,000 years ago? It weighs more than 1,000 pounds, almost like a monster, but 3,000 years ago, not everyone was entitled to such a rice cooker? But what no one wanted to get was that this rice cooker had become our current national treasure, and it was also known as the "uniqueest product in the world", and there was only one in the world.
This 3,000-year-old rice cooker is now collected in the National Museum of China, Simu Pengding, I believe that everyone is still extremely impressed by The heavy treasure of Simu Pengding, its domineering posture, absolutely unforgettable.
But speaking of the experience of this Simu Pengding, it is indeed full of a lot of ups and downs and helplessness, and once almost lost out, fortunately, under the efforts of God and Chinese people, this Simu Pengding was finally protected.
In 1939, there was a villager in Wuguan Village in Anyang, Henan Province, who accidentally dug out a huge object while hoeing the ground, and soon this matter was known to the villagers, and it also alarmed others, and even the Japanese devils knew at that time that there were villagers in Wuguan Village who dug out a large bronze.
In order to protect this Simu Pengding, the villagers had to bury it back into the ground, and until the end of the Anti-Japanese War, the Simu Pengding was re-excavated, and then it has been lying in the Central Museum, and finally it has been deposited in the National Museum.
It is 110 cm long, 133 cm high, weighs 832.84 kg, has two long ears on both sides, the chassis is a four-column foot, the cloud thunder pattern depicted on the outside of Simu Pengding, and the embossed fish pattern on the top of the two ears is engraved, because the inside is engraved with "Houmu Peng'", which is finally named Houmu Pengding.
So why is it said that the stepmother is a cooking utensil? It should be known that Ding was actually a tool used for cooking in ancient times, of course, many other uses appeared later, such as storing meat and other foods.
The houmu pengding excavated from the military officer village is undoubtedly the heaviest bronze so far, and its production technology can be said to have reached the peak of technology, in exchange for our modern production technology, we dare not say that it must be cast, after the analysis of experts, the copper content in the houmu pengding is 84.77% and the tin is 11.64%.
It is precisely because of the anti-heaven value of the stepmother that it was listed as a national first-class cultural relic by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage in 2002, and it is not allowed to be exported for exhibition.
