The spring and autumn biography of Zuo Shi begins with a story about a brother Ni Qiang who took place in Zhengzhou. "In The summer of May, Zheng Boke Duan Yu Yan." Duke Zhengzhuang's mother Wu Jiang favored his younger son Gongshu Duan, who continued to grow bigger and was eventually defeated by Zheng Zhuanggong, and Zheng Guo then realized the feats of Spring and Autumn Xiaoba.

Similar "bridge sections" occurred in many princely states at that time. Among them, the bloody case of cannibalism that occurred in the Jin Dynasty. Compared with the impatience of Gongshu Duan, Xiaozong, who was enfeoffed in Quwo (quwo County, Shanxi Province), experienced 67 years and several generations of struggles to completely destroy the Jin dynasty Emperor Dazong, who was occupying the capital (southeast of present-day Shanxi Wing City), and became the new master of the Jin state. Today, Dahe Bao introduced to you the "treasure" along the Huangjiu Provincial District, the "treasure" along the Huangjiu Province, which will be unveiled on the opening day of the new museum of Zhengzhou City Museum on April 30, which was excavated in 2000 from the Jinhou Cemetery in Beizhao Village, Quwo County, Shanxi.

It is 39 cm high, 30.5 cm long and 17.5 cm wide, and is a sacrificial vessel used to hold wine in the middle of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and is the treasure of the town hall of the Shanxi Museum. In the Zhou Dynasty, people believed that the phoenix had an auspicious meaning, so they liked to decorate the phoenix ornament on bronze, but there were not many utensils that completely made the phoenix into a three-dimensional shape, so the bird was particularly precious. However, due to the destruction of the tomb robbers, the body of the Jinhou Bird Zun was severely damaged when it was excavated, and then restored by cultural relics restoration experts at Peking University to restore its former appearance. From the appearance point of view, the Jinhou bird is like a phoenix bird with its head held high, and its whole body is covered with exquisite and beautiful patterns, full of bronze texture. On the back of the phoenix, there is also a small bird quietly clinging to each other, which is the catcher on the cover of the bird's honorific instrument, the bird is set up under the position of the tail of the phoenix, the trunk is rolled up, and the legs of the phoenix form a stable three-point support, and the nine-character inscription on the body "JinHou Zuo Xiang Tai Room Treasure Zun Yi" symbolizes the extraordinary identity of the bird zun. The Bird Zun of the Jin Dynasty is not only a masterpiece of bronze art in the Western Zhou Dynasty, but also a national treasure that witnesses the vicissitudes of a great power. It has accompanied the first generation of Jin Marquis Xie's father to sleep underground for three thousand years, witnessed one grand royal sacrifice after another, and now it, thousands of miles away, came from the Shanxi Museum to Zhengzhou, quietly standing on the exhibition shelf, waiting for everyone to have a thousand years of confrontation with it.
