He Zun is the earliest excavation testimony of the word "China"
He Zun, as the earliest excavation witness of the word "China", is of indispensable importance to explaining the origin of Chinese civilization. Today, it is the first batch of cultural relics in China that are prohibited from going abroad (abroad) for exhibition, and it is a national first-class cultural relic.
He Zuntong is 38.8 cm high, 28.8 cm in diameter and weighs 14.6 kg, excavated in 1963 in Jia Village, Jia Village, Chencang District, Baoji City, and belongs to the early Bronze Ware of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
At the bottom of the "He Zun", the seal is inscribed with 12 lines and 122 characters, detailing the prayers issued by King Keshang of Zhou Wu when he held a sacrifice at Songshan Mountain after Yin, and the deeds of King Cheng of Zhou who built a new capital city, Chengzhou City (present-day Luoyang), to hold sacrifices and reward his subjects. Among them, "Zhaozi China, from the people" is the earliest record of China found so far.

He Zun's discovery process can be described as a series of twists and turns, and if it is discovered later, it may be annihilated.
According to Chen Liang, president of the Baoji Bronze Ware Museum, in June 1963, Chen Dui, a villager in Jia Village, Jia Village, Chencang District, Baoji, rented two houses next door to Chen Qishan because his family could not live in the old house, and behind the yard was an earth cliff. One morning after the rain in August of that year, Chen Dui found in the backyard that there seemed to be a bright light on the earth cliff after the rain collapsed, so he used his hand and small hammer to plan, and the result was a copper ware. The following year, Mr. and Mrs. Chen Dui went from Baoji to Guyuan, and when they left, they handed over the bronze to Chen Hu for safekeeping.
In 1965, Chen Hu sold it to a scrap collection station. In the same year, Tong Tai, a cadre of the Baoji City Museum, saw this bronze at the Yuquan Waste Collection Station in the city, saw that its shape was dignified and majestic, the ornamentation was rigorous and varied, and felt that this should be a relatively precious cultural relic, so he reported to the curator Wu Zengkun. Wu Zengkun immediately asked Wang Yongguang, director of the storage department, to check it out, and after Wang Yongguang rushed to the waste collection station, he also concluded that it was a precious cultural relic, so he bought the bronze back to the museum for 30 yuan. Archaeologists have confirmed that this is a bronze wine vessel from the early Western Zhou Dynasty, and the relief is "Gluttonous Pattern".
In 1975, the gluttonous bronze statue was selected to be sent to the State Administration of Cultural Heritage as a national newly excavated cultural relics for exhibition abroad because of its exquisite modeling, and Ma Chengyuan, director of the Shanghai Museum, discovered the inscription and named it "He Zun".
