Stepmother Wu Dingchang 1 10 cm, width 79 cm, height 133 cm and weight 832.84 kg, which is close to one ton. Fold along the ear, the abdomen is rectangular, and the four legs are separated. The tripod body handles many edges. The body and quadruped are cast as a whole, and then the tripod ears are remounted and poured.
The tripod body is cast with dragon patterns and gluttonous patterns, which are exquisite in texture and majestic and dignified. Four-legged cast cicada pattern with clear pattern. The interior wall is "stepmother Wu", vigorous and powerful, with a very beautiful shape, starting from the front and stopping from the back.
Ding is dedicated to his mother, Amyl.
The excavation and protection of stepmother Wu can be described as twists and turns.
Wu Ding, the stepmother, is the heaviest ancient bronze ware known in China. It was cast in the late Shang Dynasty, which fully demonstrated the grand scale, strict organization and meticulous division of labor of bronze casting at that time. Wu Ding, the stepmother, is a representative of the high development of bronze casting culture in Shang Dynasty.
Such exquisite and precious historical relics will inevitably attract the attention of the outside world, so the excavation and protection of Wu stepmother can be described as twists and turns. Wu Ding, the stepmother, 1939 was discovered in Anyang by a farmer named Wu Xizeng. Wu Xizeng's main business is farming, and his sideline is digging for treasures. His home is in Anyang county. Anyang's "Seven Dynasties" has a long history and rich cultural relics, and there will be no shortage of underground treasures. Wu Xizeng digs around with a shovel in his spare time, because he knows to dig out a treasure and sell crops that can cover him for several years.
In March this year, as usual, he found a cemetery and began to dig. He dug and dug and dug up a monster. He judged by experience that this is a treasure and should be very valuable. He was thinking about how to get the baby out when Pally Wu, the owner of this field, came to work in the field and found him. According to the unwritten local regulations, whoever finds the treasure will give the owner half. Anyway, Wu Xizeng couldn't mention it himself, just because of Pally Wu. So the two discussed how to dig in partnership, and the last one was half.
Because the stepmother Wu Ding is big and heavy, more than a dozen people in the village get together to dig. The situation was turbulent at that time. For the sake of safety, they all dug for two nights at night, and then set up a tripod on the pit and dragged it to the ground. A few days after Wu Ding, the stepmother, was dug up, everyone in Shili Village knew about it. Later, the Beijing antique dealer Xiao also came to buy this Wu Ding. I offered a sky-high price of 200,000 silver dollars to buy this tripod, but I had to smash it and take it away, otherwise it would be difficult to transport it. But Pally Wu refused.
After that, they hid their stepmother, Wu Ding, but even though the enemy searched for it many times, they never found it. Seven years later, Pally Wu handed over her stepmother Wu Ding to the authorities at that time. Later, because the stepmother Wu Ding was too heavy to transport and handle, the tragedy of the loss of the national treasure was avoided.
Read "Si" or "Hou"?
Stepmother Wu Ding was later listed as a national first-class cultural relic, and the state explicitly prohibited the exhibition from leaving the country. According to common sense, such a country's heavy weapon should be named carefully. Why is there still a dispute about renaming after half a century?
All this starts with the origin of the name "Simu Wuding". The name "Simu Wuding" was invented by Guo Moruo. Because the inner wall of the tripod is engraved with "Simuwu", Guo Moruo thinks that "Simuwu" means "offering sacrifices to the mother". The naming principle of bronzes is that the last word in the name of a vessel is the type of vessel, such as pot, statue, dish and tripod ... Therefore, this tripod is named "Simu Wuding".
The controversy stems from the article After Interpretation published by scholar Jin Xiangheng in 1962. This paper points out that the word "Si" in Oracle Bone Inscriptions and his previous works should be interpreted as "Hou", which means: the person who gives orders.

Later, Ding Xian, a scholar, said in his paper Hou Shuo that Oracle Bone Inscriptions's "Si" and "Hou" are the same word, and "Si" is the original word and "Hou" is a typo. When addressing mother, "four" is called "Hou", that's all! For example, "stepmother Xin" and "stepmother E" show respect and worship.
Then, after half a century's research and debate by China scholars, on 20 1 1, "Simu Wuding" was officially renamed as "stepmother Wuding".
Guo Moruo, an intellectual
Although Mr. Guo Moruo made some mistakes in naming his stepmother Wu Ding, there is no doubt about his profound knowledge and literary status.
Guo Moruo's calligraphy
Guo Moruo, a cultural giant, 1892, a native of Leshan, Sichuan. He is the founder of China New Poetry Movement. His poetic style is full of revolutionary passion. Most poems praise the people's revolution, capitalism and socialism. His historical plays have played a great role in educating the people and enemies.
Guo Moruo is a cultural giant in the 20th century and also in the history of China! Mr. Guo Moruo's research on China's ancient history and ancient Chinese characters was very successful. Guo Moruo, who has made such brilliant achievements in many aspects, can be described as a wizard! He has great attainments in history, ancient Chinese characters, literature and art, and his great contribution has established his lofty position in the academic circles.
Guo Moruo's 23rd Debate
No one is perfect. As a master of literature, Mr. Guo Moruo is respected by the world, but there are also many controversial points for the world to discuss.
Archaeologist Guo Moruo, as a historian, is excellent, outstanding and respected. However, he made irreparable mistakes in archaeology and was criticized by later generations.
Guo Moruo was widely criticized in archaeology because of the excavation of Ming Dingling Mausoleum. Due to the limited technology at that time, it was very difficult to excavate, and once the cultural relics were damaged, it was almost impossible to repair them. So this excavation was strongly opposed by most people. However, Guo Moruo was determined to explore and coordinated in many ways, and was finally allowed to explore.
Based on this, the mining results can be imagined. Excavation has caused great losses. Because the excavation method is too barbaric, the protection measures are not in place and the technology is backward, a large number of calligraphy and painting, jewelry and silk products are quickly weathered, oxidized and faded, deformed and damaged when unearthed. Even the century-old immortal and extremely precious Jin Sinan coffin in the tomb was thrown into the mountain stream and finally burned as firewood. What is even more distressing is that the bones of Emperor Wanli and his two empresses were burned.

Since then, there are only some rough records, soft and shiny hair, gold and silver jade articles buried with him, sparkling brocade, and hundreds of silk brocade representing the peak of human textile technology. Not only that, in the 30 years after the excavation, there was no report about the excavation of Dingling!
After this tragedy, the national policy pointed out: no longer take the initiative to visit the Mausoleum!
Master of Time Management is not only criticized by archaeological excavations, but also Guo Moruo's emotional history is widely circulated. Guo Moruo was married three times in his life and had several lovers.
Guo Moruo's first marriage was arranged by his parents. 19 12 years, Guo Moruo married Zhang Qionghua. After five days of marriage, Guo Moruo ran away from home and left his wife without divorce. In the following 68 years, Zhang Qionghua lived alone in Guo Moruo's hometown. Although Guo Moruo bowed to Zhang Qionghua who played The Widow of the Grass, how could a woman bow for 68 years when she returned to her hometown 1939?
If the first marriage was out of helplessness, then Mr. Guo's second marriage was entirely voluntary. But this kind of voluntary marriage is still full of betrayal and irresponsibility.
19 16 24-year-old Guo Moruo fell in love with 22-year-old pretty nurse Fukuko Sato and lived together in Japan. In order to be with the talented Guo Moruo, Fukuko Sato changed her name to Anna and broke up with her family. Having five children after marriage, although life is a little tight, fortunately Anna is gentle and kind, diligent in housekeeping and fully supports her husband's studies.
With such a good wife, Guo Moruo fell in love with Peng Yilan on 1926. 1934, Guo Moruo, then 42, felt the same way as Yu Lichen, then 22-year-old reporter of Ta Kung Pao. Three years later, Yu Lichen became pregnant and hoped that Guo Moruo would marry her. Unexpectedly, Guo Moruo advised her not to leave the child. Desperate Yu Lichen returned to Shanghai and committed suicide after leaving the pen club.
After the full-scale outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Guo Moruo quietly left Japan, leaving his wife and five children and cutting off contact with them. After Guo left, the Japanese government arrested and imprisoned Anna and tortured her. Faced with such difficulties, Anna had to raise five children by herself. Guo Moruo ignored all the above, didn't write, and really left!
After returning home, Guo Moruo married Yu Liqun under the "suicide stimulus of Yu Lichen". Who's Yu Liqun? Yu Liqun is Yu Lichen's sister who committed suicide for Guo Moruo. During this marriage, Guo Moruo and Yu Liqun had six children.
Lao Guo Moruo
When Anna 1947 came to China, Guo Moruo kept avoiding her without explanation or compensation. However, this sentence can't alleviate Anna's pain at all.
1June, 978, Guo Moruo, a cultural giant, an archaeological madman and a romantic genius, died in Beijing. Guo Moruo's life is really wonderful and regrettable. Writing poems is a writer, joining the army is a lieutenant general, and writing plays is a master. Talent is indeed brilliant, but as a husband and father, there is indeed a lack of virtue!
It is best for a person to have both ability and political integrity. Without virtue, people are mortal. What is without virtue? Some people say it's a villain, others say it's dangerous goods. As for who an individual is, there is a personal judgment.
20 1 1 In March, 2008, "Simu Wuding" was officially renamed as "Stepmother Wuding".
