Mao Dinggong was a bronze ware produced in the late Western Zhou Dynasty, and it was named after the owner was Mao Gong. And it is worth mentioning that this bronze is actually the longest inscription among all bronzes. It was discovered in the late Qing Dynasty, when it became one of the four national treasures. It has been collected by the National Palace Museum in Taipei and is one of the treasures of the museum.
At that time, because the tripod was engraved with the teachings of the monarch, it was very educational. The overall appearance of wool is relatively heavy, but the decorative texture is relatively simple, with a strong flavor of life. From the appearance of this bronze ware, it can be reflected that the tripod at that time will gradually become a living thing. It is said that there have been 499 inscriptions on the inner wall of this bronze. It can be said that it is the tripod with the most inscriptions among the existing bronzes. You should know that every word of these ding with inscriptions is very precious, so the value of this ding is several times or even hundreds of times higher than other ding.
The lettering calligraphy above is very solemn and full of a classical aesthetic feeling. Therefore, since this cultural relic was discovered by people in the Qing Dynasty, many calligraphers were very fond of its font at that time. The words on Mao are also the most important historical materials to help historians study the history of the Western Zhou Dynasty. The appearance of this tripod undoubtedly did not broaden people's horizons, but also lamented the skills of the ancients at that time. If you are lucky enough to go to the Palace Museum, you can have a good look. Its historical research is of great value and is of great help to historians.
