To a city, first go to the museum, almost into the custom. Why? Go find the treasure of the museum and open your eyes. Usually the treasure of the town hall of a large museum, it is definitely a national treasure. CCTV once had a special column called "National Treasure Archives", which triggered people's interest in "National Treasures" and a wave of collection.
At that time, the show was there every day. Through the program, I saw many national treasures. Later, the "National Treasure", through storytelling and performance, made every cold national treasure come alive.
Hindema E Da Fang Ding
The largest and heaviest bronze in the national heavy vessel is simu pengding. "Simu E" comes from Guo Moruo's research and naming. For a while, when Guo Bi rebelled, Da Fangding was renamed "Houmu Peng". In fact, whether it is "Simu E" or "Post-Mother E", it can be explained. If you don't change it, I personally think it means little.
The name of the bronze, from the inscription, is not guessed. How to interpret it is a matter of opinion. It is called "Simu Pengding", Si, as a sacrifice of the interpretation. In the Shang Dynasty, "Nian Yue Qi and Si". The name is said to have not been unanimously recognized by the archaeological community, especially for nearly a decade or two.
The word "division" and "rear" in the oracle bones are sometimes the same word. "Simu Pengding" was changed to "Houmu Pengding", and the meaning changed. "Empress Dowager Pengding", comparing the mother to the Emperor Tianhou Soil. Now Dading has changed its name to "Houmu E".
"Mother E" is the temple name of the concubine concubine of King Wuding of the Shang Dynasty. Experts have concluded from the study of inscriptions that the "Houmu Pengding" is a heavy weapon specially made by Zu Geng and Zu Jia, the two sons of the Shang King Wuding, to sacrifice his mother's concubine.
Big Gram
It is difficult to say which explanation is more in line with the original intention of casting Dading. Just want to ask: Huizhou changed to Huangshan, okay? Anhui is only left with Anqing, and the emblem is gone and lame.
This ding was discovered very early. It was as early as 1939, when the anti-Japanese flames were fought. Several villagers stumbled upon it deep in the field and wanted to get it out for some money. Helplessly, The Big Ding is too big and too heavy to move, can't move, can't lift away. They tried their best to knock down only one "ear", and it was impossible to sell it.
However, the news of the discovery of Dading was known to the Japanese. The Japanese tried everything they could to get it. However, Dading was spontaneously protected by the peasants. In order to avoid the theft of The Dading, the Dading was re-buried in the ground. In 1946, the Chinese people won the victory of the War of Resistance! Once again, Dading was dug up. The great ding that has seen the light of day is placed in the Nanjing Museum. In 1949, when the Kuomintang government fled the mainland, it was full of desire to take it away. It was too heavy to achieve.
Casting a bronze dome of this size is not an easy task. Don't say that it was thousands of years ago in ancient times, it is also difficult to put it in modern times. Studies have shown that the "Houmu Pengding" is cast by the Tao Fan method.
Cast Ke Ding (replica)
At the level of craftsmanship of the Shang Dynasty, the casting of the mother pentyl requires at least more than 1,000 kilograms of raw materials, at least two or three hundred craftsmen to work together, and close cooperation to complete. Son of the Shang King, really a cow! At that time, there was no saying that "filial piety comes first". In order to sacrifice their mothers, they used their strength to make the "filial piety" heart pass through the ages. Da Fangding, with physical objects, proves the extent to which the ideas of bronze craftsmanship, economic development and cultural circulation in the Shang Dynasty have reached.
On bronzes, the inscription "Descendants yongbao use" is not uncommon. Jade, especially on jade bi, "yi descendants" is not an isolated case. During the period of hierarchical slavery, ordinary people did not have the opportunity to own a bronze or jade object. Even if they are princes and nobles, after they have it, they think of "passing on their descendants".
"Stepmother Pengding" subverts the cognition of modern people. It was a generous gift from the sons to their dead mothers. "Stepmother Pengding", steady and generous, the hidden king's spirit, people look up.
Let's take another "little" bronze piece full of mysteries.
Yue King Sword
In the Hubei Provincial Museum, there is a "Yue Wang Gou Jian Sword". The words "Yue Wang's self-acting sword" on the hilt of the sword made the sword owner have no doubt. Experts have not yet been able to study, what kind of height did the process reach in the Spring and Autumn Period? How was this sword forged? Why is there a similar modern chrome plating process? How is the lattice and diamond pattern on the back of the sword cast? After casting, together or a success?
In addition to the "100,000 whys" of the sword itself, why this sword was found in Hubei is equally difficult to explain. Isn't it Wu Yue's struggle for hegemony? The mysterious mysteries of the various kinds of mysteries make the "ten years of life and ten years of lessons", the tyrant who is lying down and tasting courage, full of legends.
Coincidence? In 1965, in the tomb of the Chu nobles in present-day Jingzhou, the "first sword in the world" Yue Wang Gou Jian sword was unearthed. In 1983, nearly twenty years later, the spear and go of Wu Wang Fuchai were unearthed in the Warring States Tomb of Jiangling, which was not far from the Sword of king Yue. Like "Yue Wang's self-acting sword", there are the same eight words on the spear of Wu Wangfu Cha: "Wu Wang Fu Cha Self-Acting Spear". It's so interesting.
Sanxingdui God Tree
Gou Jian and Fu Cha, two wrongdoers who have been fighting for decades, ended the drama of the Spring and Autumn Struggle for Hegemony with "Wu Yue Battle for Hegemony". There is no righteous war in the spring and autumn. Wu Yue came to an end. The Warring States rose. Why did they drop their life-like carry-on weapons to the status of burial goods of the nobles of the Chu State?
The story of the national treasure is far more fascinating than the national treasure itself. But isn't it?
