Chapter 1,397: A common man is guilty of carrying a jade without any guilt
Chen Wenzhe could see clearly that what was pushed from the boat into the water was a tripod.
And with the discovery of this treasure tripod, he naturally no longer paid much attention to the bird book.
After all, the bird genealogy was already planned to be handed over. Of course, there was also the reason why Chen Wenzhe did not want to collect calligraphy and paintings, because these things are really not easy to preserve, especially antiques.
The Stepmother Wu Ding mentioned just now is actually one of the five most famous ones in ancient my country.
There is no conflict with the three domestic treasures of the Qing Dynasty mentioned earlier, but there are two more.
I just talked about the Stepmother Wu Ding, Dake Ding, Big Yu Ding and Maogong Ding, and the last one should be the Small Yu Ding.
Although he didn't look at it too carefully, and he couldn't see it clearly through looking back, Chen Wenzhe still suspected that the tripod that was hidden in a wooden box and pushed into the Yangtze River seemed to be a small Yu tripod.
This is so interesting, because this treasure disappeared for too long.
So, if it is really a small Yuding, how did it end up on the treasure ship that used to transport treasures to Benwan?
Chen Wenzhe likes to study secrets the most, because having secrets often means they are valuable.
Besides, tripods, especially those that are particularly large and have special significance, are important national treasures.
Because the history of our country is often engraved on this kind of tripod, and it is very likely to be the official history.
The word "ding" is particularly important to our Chinese nation.
Ding is a commonly used character in Chinese and first appeared in oracle bone inscriptions in the Shang Dynasty.
The original meaning of tripod is an ancient utensil for cooking food.
In ancient times, the tripod was not only used for cooking food, but also as a ritual vessel placed in ancestral temples for sacrifices.
Ding is very big and heavy, so "ding" also means very grand.
For example: Dingding is famous and prosperous.
Due to the importance of "ding", it is often used as a metaphor for the throne and the emperor's career.
Such as: Ding Ding, aspire to the top.
Therefore, the tripod is also a symbol of national power.
A tripod is a large container for cooking food. The water rolling in the tripod is called "ding boiling".
It is a metaphor for noise and chaos.
Ding also means renewal, such as: Ding Ge, Ding is reformed.
The tripod was originally an ancient cooking utensil. There are three-legged round tripods and four-legged square tripods.
The earliest tripod was a pottery tripod made of clay, and later there were bronze tripods cast from bronze.
Legend has it that Xia Yu collected the gold from Jiu Mu and cast the Nine Cauldron under Jingshan Mountain to symbolize Jiuzhou. He also engraved figures of monsters and monsters on it to alert people and prevent them from being harmed.
Since the legend of Yu casting the Nine Cauldrons, the cauldron has developed from an ordinary cooking utensil to a nationally important weapon.
When the country was destroyed, the Ding Dynasty was moved. The Xia Dynasty was destroyed, the Shang Dynasty was prosperous, and the Jiuding Dynasty was moved to Bo (b) Beijing, the capital of Shang;
After the destruction of the Shang Dynasty and the rise of the Zhou Dynasty, Jiuding was moved to Hao (ho) capital, the capital of Zhou Dynasty.
From the Shang Dynasty to the Zhou Dynasty, the establishment of a capital or the establishment of a dynasty was called "Dingding".
The tripod is regarded as a national treasure and a symbol of the country and power. The word " tripod " is also endowed with extended meanings such as "prominent", "noble" and "grand". It is also a ritual vessel for recording meritorious service.
So, what are the famous tripods in ancient my country? Here we will mention the five famous tripods in ancient my country.
The tripod is of great significance to our country, so as long as it is discovered, it is a major discovery.
However, two of the five famous pieces were unearthed at the same time.
A hundred years ago, a villager in Xishan dug out two treasures at once.
Unfortunately, one of these two treasures disappeared without a trace, while the other has been handed down to this day.
It was during the Daoguang period, and villagers in Li Village, Shaanxi County, Shaanxi Province dug up two treasures - the large Menu Ding and the small Meng Ding.
These two tripods have a long history and were made by Yu, a famous official in the Zhou Dynasty.
At that time, the country did not have the concept of cultural relic protection, local officials did not strictly manage tomb robbing, and the trade of cultural relics in various places was not restricted.@
As a result, the small Yuding was lost soon after it was unearthed.
The Great Menu Tripod passed through several times and was purchased by Yuan Shikai's uncle, Yuan Baoheng.
At that time, Yuan Baoheng was working under Zuo Zongtang. In order to get a promotion, Yuan Baoheng gave Zuo Zongtang the large cauldron he bought with a lot of money as a gift.
Zuo Zongtang held a high position and also had a hobby of collecting gold and stones.

After getting the Great Menu Cauldron, I couldn't put it down.
However, it didn't take long for Zuo Zongtang to donate the Great Menu Cauldron to Pan Zuyin.
Speaking of which, although Pan Zuyin was the minister of the Ministry of Industry, Zuo Zongtang had already become a feudal official at that time. Why did he want to be so flattering to Pan Zuyin, who was lower than himself?
It turns out that Zuo Zongtang gave the tripod as a gift out of life-saving grace.
In his early years, when Zuo Zongtang served as a guest of honor under Luo Bingzhang, he offended the Yongzhou General Soldier and was convicted.
On this occasion, the academician Pan Zuyin stood up and said a lot of good things for Zuo Zongtang, thus saving Zuo Zongtang's life. @精品/书馆*Update~~
Zuo Zongtang always wanted to repay his benefactor for saving his life, but Pan Zuyin only liked gold and stones and had a very high vision. Only a national treasure like the Great Meng Cauldron could come into his eyes.
Therefore, after getting the Great Meng Cauldron, Zuo Zongtang thought over and over again and decided to give it as a gift.
Speaking of this large bowl tripod, its shape is a standard three-legged tripod from the Zhou Dynasty.
It is about one meter high, has a diameter of 77 centimeters, and weighs 153 kilograms.
In the big family of Zhou Ding, Dayu Ding is definitely a rare big guy.
The most rare thing is that there are nearly 300 words engraved on the big Yu tripod, which are the warnings given by King Kang of Zhou to Yu.
King Kang of Zhou pointed out that his ancestors, King Wen and King Wu, relied on benevolent politics to govern the country, and he hoped that Yu could inherit the legacy of his ancestors and make more contributions to the country.
Yu was so grateful that he cast two bronze tripods and inscribed the emperor's teachings on them.
Putting aside the value of the Great Menu Tripod itself, the inscriptions engraved on it are already priceless cultural treasures.
Even in the Manchu and Qing dynasties, the Great Men's Cauldron was considered a priceless national treasure.
As the saying goes, "No one is guilty of having a jade in his possession." Sometimes, acquiring such a national treasure may not be a good thing, but can easily lead to disaster.
Pan Zuyin's position in the imperial court was very important, so during his lifetime, no one dared to covet this tripod.
However, after Pan Zuyin returned to the west on a crane, disaster came from the sky, and many people set their greedy eyes on the Great Menu Cauldron.
At first, Duan Fang, the governor of Liangjiang, who was an official in the border areas, became interested in the Great Men's Cauldron and sent people to the Pan family many times to ask for the Great Men's Cauldron.
However, although Pan Zuyin died, his influence was still there, and the Pan family resolutely rejected Duanfang's "good intentions."
In the days that followed, foreigners came to the door again and offered exorbitant prices, hoping that the Pan family could resell the tripod abroad.
Although the Pan family has fallen into decline, their character is still strong and they would never do such a thing as selling their national treasure abroad.
Therefore, the Pan family also rejected the foreigners' request, which made these opportunistic foreigners feel frustrated.
During the Republic of China, an official from the Beiyang government wanted to keep this valuable treasure for himself under the guise of letting the Great Meng Ding participate in an exhibition.
Fortunately, the Pan family understood this man's conspiracy in time and did not send the Great Menu Cauldron to the exhibition, thus saving the Great Menu Cauldron.
