Chapter 555: Jiuding


"This, could this be Dayu Jiuding and Qin Twelve Jinren?"

The dozen or so one-person-tall items in front of him really startled Yang Jing, but then he realized that something was wrong."

No, this is not Dayu Jiuding and Qin Twelve Jinren, this should be imitated by Wu Zetian.The genuine Jiuding has long been missing, and even Wu Zetian cannot find the real Jiuding. ”Yang Jing's eyes were firmly fixed on these dozen big guys, and finally said with certainty.The twelve golden figures on the periphery, Yang Jing didn't have the heart to pay attention to them now, his mind was all attracted by the nine great tripods.This is the legendary Jiuding, if it is genuine, it is even a supreme artifact that is more bullish than the heirloom jade seal!

In the history of China, Dayu Jiuding is recognized as the symbol of Kyushu in China, and the jade seal is the representative of imperial power.In other words, Jiuding symbolizes the country of China, and the jade seal of the country is a symbol of Chinese orthodoxy.It is difficult to compare who is more noble between the two, but there is no doubt that if the nine Dading in front of you is the real Dayu Jiuding, it is definitely a super item.But the holy ring did not have any reaction to these nine tripods, which directly proved that these nine tripods were not the real products of the legendary Dayu nine tripods.Think about it no wonder, long before Qin Shi Huang unified the whole of China, symbolizing the Chinese Kyushu Yu Jiuding has disappeared, and then whether it is Qin Shi Huang or the emperor of the Han Dynasty, they have been looking for a long time, but Yu Jiuding has been missing.Even the size, weight, and shape of Dayu Jiuding are not known, how can Wu Zetian find the authenticity of Dayu Jiuding?

Even if these nine tripods are not genuine, they are extremely beautiful.In the middle is a round tripod that is close to one person high, and this round tripod is also the largest one.Yang Jing knows that even if it is an imitation of Dayu Jiuding, the round tripod in the middle should be Yuzhou Ding.In the four directions of the upper and lower left and right sides of the Yuzhou Ding, there are four round tripods that are mostly half of the height of the people, and in the directions of the four corners, there are four square tripods that are more than half of the height of the people.Yang Jing knows, the position of the nine tripods is also particular, if according to the position of the nine tripods of Dayu, the top of the round tripod should be the Jingzhou tripod, and then count down in the clockwise direction, the square tripod on the right side of the Jingzhou tripod should be the Liangzhou tripod, and then the round Yongzhou tripod, the square Jizhou tripod, the round Yanzhou tripod, the square Qingzhou tripod, the round Xuzhou tripod and the square Yangzhou tripod.Jiuding has a round and square, and it is placed like this, one is to represent the position of ancient Kyushu, and the other is to imply that "the sky is round and the place is smooth."

There is a position in the oblique position, Taikang in Kyushu. ”Since Dayu has made meritorious efforts to govern the Yellow River, Shunchan has made the emperor located in Dayu, and Dayu has created the first dynasty in China - the Xia Dynasty.Dayu is the founder of the Xia Dynasty.Legend has it that after Yu created the Xia Dynasty, he divided the world into nine states, and made the Kyushu state pastor contribute bronze, cast Jiuding, symbolizing Kyushu, and engraved the famous mountains and rivers of Kyushu in the country, and the strange things engraved in the body of Jiuding, symbolizing a state with a tripod, and concentrating Jiuding in Yangcheng, the capital of the Xia Dynasty.Since the casting of the nine tripods, these nine bronze tripods have become synonymous with China, as well as a symbol of the supremacy of royal power and the unity and prosperity of the country.The Xia Dynasty, the Shang Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty were regarded as the heirlooms symbolizing the state power.During the Warring States Period, Qin and Chu both had the matter of raising divisions to seek the crown in Luoyi, the city of the king of Zhou.When Zhou Xianwang was king, it is said that Jiuding was not under Surabaya, so far Jiuding's whereabouts are unknown.Later emperors attached great importance to the symbolism and significance of Jiuding's power, and also repeatedly recast Jiuding, Wu Zetian and Song Huizong also cast Jiuding.The nine big tripods in front of him are obviously the nine tripods recast by Wu Zetian!

It's just that the nine tripods cast by Wu Zetian recorded in history have long been missing, and it is estimated that not many people know that Wu Zetian finally used the nine tripods she recast as funeral objects.In Chinese history, the importance of Jiuding is undoubted, and there is even a famous idiom around Jiuding, that is, "winning the Central Plains".The allusion of "winning the Central Plains" is that in 606 BC, the king of Chuzhuang sent troops to attack the Rong people who lived in the land of Luhun.Lu Hun is in the north of Song County, Henan, not far from Luoyang, the capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.Of course, Lu Hun Rong was not an opponent, and the Chu army won a great victory.However, King Chuzhuang did not stop there, but waved his hand and commanded the army all the way north, entered Zhou Tianzi's territory, and came to Luoshui.King Zhou Ding was very panicked, so he asked Wang Sunman to explore the truth in the name of Lao Jun.After Wang Sunman, the messenger of the Son of Heaven, came to the Chu camp, the king of Chuzhuang asked Wang Sunman: How big is Zhou Tianzi's tripod and how heavy is it?

And Wang Sunman, who was the doctor of the Great Zhou Dynasty at the time, was a very smart person, and he knew what King Chuzhuang meant by asking, so he responded very smartly: "The size of the tripod lies in virtue rather than in the tripod itself.In the past, when the Xia Dynasty was virtuous, the ghosts and gods in the distance were painted into images, and the governors of Kyushu were asked to pay tribute to the bronze, cast the nine tripods and cast the images on the tripods, and all the images were on them, so that the people knew the gods and monsters.Therefore, when the people enter the mountains and forests of Chuanze, they will not encounter things that are unfavorable to them.These ghosts and ghosts will not be encountered, so they can make harmony between the upper and lower levels in order to bear the blessings of the heavens.Xia Wei was in a coma and moved Ding to the Shang Dynasty, six hundred years before and after.Shang was tyrannical, and Ding moved to the Zhou Dynasty, if virtue is beautiful and bright, although Ding is small, it is also heavy.If the evil is chaotic, although the tripod is large, it is also light.Heaven has blessed those who are enlightened for a certain period of time.King Cheng fixed Jiuding in Jiajun, and the result of divination was handed down for 30 generations and enjoyed the country for 700 years, which was ordered by God.Although the virtue of the Zhou Dynasty declined, the Mandate of Heaven did not change.The weight of the tripod cannot be asked. ”After hearing this, King Chuzhuang was speechless, and did not force it anymore, and soon left the territory of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.This is where "Winning the Central Plains" comes from.Of course, King Chu Zhuang is not a simple curious baby, he just wants to understand the size of Jiuding.It is not difficult to see from Wang Sunman's answer that Jiuding is a symbol of the country, and its migration represents the transfer of political power.As a result, the victory of King Chuzhuang reveals his ambition to replace Zhou.After entering the Warring States Period, the vassal states sought Jiuding from Zhou Tianzi more and more frequently.Not only did the Qin State seek Jiuding many times, but the Qi State, the Wei State, the Chu State, etc., also thought about the Jiuding Dynasty and hated to monopolize it.Zhou Tianzi traveled around the world, taking advantage of their contradictions with each other to keep the country's important weapon.It can be seen that Jiuding is very important in the minds of the emperors and princes of China.It's a pity that Jiuding was lost during the penultimate king of the Zhou Dynasty, King Zhou Xian, and in the end, even Qin Shi Huang did not find the whereabouts of Jiuding.Perhaps because Jiuding was not found, Qin Shi Huang felt that his throne was not legitimate, so he ordered Li Si to create the jade seal of the country.In a way, the heirloom jade seal is the successor of Jiuding, if the history of Yu Jiuding is not lost, there must be no matter what happened to the jade seal.Dayu Jiuding has been inherited for 2,000 years and lost for more than 2,000 years, so no one has been able to figure out what the style of Dayu Jiuding is?

Is it a square or a circle?

Is it four-legged or three-legged?

What are the inscriptions and ornaments inside and outside the tripod?

However, there is a record of Yu Jiuding, only the second volume of the "Collected Memories" said: "Yu cast Jiuding, five to respond to the yang method, four to the number of yin."

It can be judged from the record in the "Collected Memories" that five of the nine tripods of Dayu should be three-legged round tripods, and four tripods are four-legged square tripods, which just correspond to the saying that "the sky is round and the place is round".And the nine tripods in front of him are exactly this shape.Although this is imitated by Wu Zetian, it can be a very good proof for the real Dayu Jiuding.Although these nine tripods are imitations, their value is absolutely difficult to estimate.However, Yang Jing still sighed a little greedily, and he couldn't wait for the nine tripods in front of him to be the real Dayu Jiuding ps: bow and thank the "Earthquake World" for the reward of 500.Because it was a morning plane, I had to leave for the airport very early, and I rushed to the airport after dinner and sent out two chapters first.
