Wuding, the mother of Wuding, is a representative work of Chinese Yin Dynasty bronzes, marking the development level of bronze casting technology in the Shang Dynasty and the superb casting level in China.

Ding is an ancient Chinese cooking utensil, the origin of Huaxia Ding culture can be traced back to the primitive society Neolithic Age, as early as 7,000 years ago there was a pottery Ding. The real peak of its development appeared in the Shang Dynasty and the Western Zhou Dynasty, especially the Shang Dynasty The production of sacrificial vessels represented by the tripod prevailed in the Shang and Zhou dynasties and continued to the Han Dynasty.

In the heyday of slavery, it was used as an important ritual to indicate the status of the noble. The literature records: "Nine tripods of the Son of Heaven, seven tripods of the princes, five tripods of doctors, three tripods or one tripod of the Yuanshi", and also contains "casting nine tripods, like Kyushu". There are also idioms such as one word, winning the Central Plains, and three-legged tripod.

The predecessor of the bronze tripod was the pottery tripod of the primitive society, which was originally a daily food and drink container, and later developed into an "artifact" to worship the emperor and ancestors, and was shrouded in a layer of mysterious and majestic color. In ancient times, the tripod was a representation of aristocratic status. The classics contain the system of nine tripods of the Son of Heaven, seven tripods of the princes, five tripods of the doctor, three tripods of the Yuanshi or one tripod.

In addition, the tripod is also a symbol of state power, and the "Zuo Biography" contains: "There is a faint virtue, and the tripod moves to business; Shang is tyrannical, and Ding moved to Zhou". Most tripods are three-legged round, but there are also four-legged square tripods.

Tongding has a more sacred meaning, that is, a symbol of state power. My China, since the Xia and Shang eras, is a symbol of state power. I, China, since the Xia and Shang eras, have regarded the copper tripod as a national treasure. Although, the Xia Dynasty has not yet discovered the copper tripod, but according to the "Historical Records. Feng Zen Book said "Yu collects the gold of Jiumu and casts Jiuding", I am afraid that it is not a fiction, and there should be a foundation. The large square tripods found in the capital in the early and late Shang Dynasty are the most bronze artifacts of the same period, and should be royal treasures.

The so-called "Ding should be seen in the ancestors, hidden in the imperial court", indicating that only the royal family has the right to own and use it. Over time, Baoding became a symbol of the national government. At the latest, in the Spring and Autumn Period, there was such a sacred meaning.

At that time, Baoding became a weapon for the town, and the loss of Baoding by a country was equivalent to the destruction of the country, and the enemy, but also focused on snatching the other party's Baoding and other national weapons. In this context, the story of Chen Bing Zhou Jiao (Luoyang) sent people to "ask Jiuding" when King Chuzhuang attacked Lu Hun recorded in "Zhou Benji".

"Asking Jiuding" is an attempt by the powerful princes of Chu to challenge Zhou Tianzi and try to seize the Zhou Dynasty. Here, "Jiuding" has undoubtedly become a symbol of state power. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Zhou royal family was weakened, and the princes fought for hegemony for a long time, nothing more than to compete for the government and replace the king of Zhou to rule the world.

It is the so-called "Dingding Central Plains", that is, the Central Plains has achieved the world, that is, the meaning of the country. Regard the tripod as a symbol of the national government, and it is the most sacred social meaning that people give to the tripod.

The common shape of the tripod is round belly, two ears, three legs, basin, glenoid shape, and a small number of bucket-shaped four-legged square tripods. Generally heavier. When people revere the value of Ding, they often forget its original purpose, in fact, it is a cooking utensil, mostly used for sacrificial or ceremonial cooking fish, pigs, beef and mutton and other food, equivalent to the current pot.

Simu Wuding is named because there is an inscription on the inner wall of the abdomen "Simu Wu", which is a commemorative utensil for the Shang king to worship his mother (name Wu).

Ding is the earliest kind of vessel created by my Chinese ancestors, and later became a sacrificial artifact and is a national treasure. For thousands of years, the tripod has been used, and the tripod is unique to me, occupies an important position in the history of Chinese material culture, and is one of the symbols of the Chinese culture.

Ye Luoxiao knocked lightly on the table and said in a deep voice: "In other words, now this small stepmother Wu Ding is in the hands of Li Lao Liu in Ghost Street?" Can't you buy it back? ”

"If I can buy it back, I still need to find you? We sent someone to contact Li Lao Liu, and according to him, that thing had already been booked, and that person was someone in Hong Kong he could not afford to offend. ”

"Then I understand, although Li Lao Liu is not good-looking, but his personality can still be trusted, he said this to prevent us from making a rash move and startling the boss who was predetermined, Li Lao Liu still has some connections in Hong Kong, so it can be inferred that this person is definitely a powerful person in Hong Kong" Ye Luoxiao said in a deep voice.

"There are not many powerful people in Hong Kong, do you have a list in your heart?" The military advisor asked aloud.

Ye Luoxiao frowned and shook her head slightly, "I can't think of it for a while, I'm worried that if the person on the surface is okay, I'm afraid that he is a dominant figure in the dark world, and then it will be very difficult to recapture Xiao Simu Wuding." ”

"Then what do you say?"

Before Ye Luoxiao could speak, her mobile phone on the table suddenly rang, looking at the caller ID, Ye Luoxiao raised her eyebrows and picked up the phone casually, "He Minghao, is there something?" ”

There was silence on the other side of the phone for a while, and then his deep voice sounded in the earpiece, "Yezi, I'm looking for you for something." ”

Listening to He Minghao's abnormal voice, the smile on the corner of Ye Luoxiao's mouth gradually disappeared, she sat up straight, held her mobile phone and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" Where are you now? ”

"I'm in Hong Kong, Ye Zi, I have no choice but to call you, if I can solve the matter, I can't call you!" The more He Minghao spoke, the more excited he became, and Ye Luoxiao listened to his words, and her brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

"Minghao, your address!"

"I'm here with my eldest brother, Yezi, my eldest brother here except for some things, I can't solve it, I ......"

"You don't need to say it, send me the address, I'll be there tomorrow!" Ye Luoxiao slapped the table and said in a deep voice.

He Minghao was silent for a while, hummed softly, and then hung up the phone.

Ye Luoxiao put down her phone, raised her head to look at the military advisor, raised her eyebrows, and said with a chuckle: "Look, I can't go to Hong Kong if I don't want to, something happened to my friend." ”

"What friend?"

“KID。”

The military advisor stared at Ye Luoxiao, and threw her a big roll of the eyes angrily, "I know, you have to go and pack your things, bring your documents and the like, I will send a message to the Hong Kong garrison immediately, you can find them in any situation." ”

"Understood!"

A few people returned to the dormitory, Ye Luoxiao casually took out a backpack and filled it with something, suddenly as if she remembered something, she took out her mobile phone and dialed a number, which rang three times and hung up, and then a message was sent.

There were only two simple words on the message, "Something?" ”

Ye Luoxiao chuckled, redialed the number just now, and this time it rang three times and it was connected, she held her mobile phone and smiled lowly, "What?" Don't want to answer my call? ”

"No, what do you need our help with?"

"Remember! Since my father gave me something, I don't want you to be yin and yang, believe me, although my strength is not as good as half of my father's, but it is more than enough to deal with you, don't be unbalanced, I am not blind or stupid. ”

After Ye Luoxiao's words fell, there was silence on the other side of the phone for a long time, and after a long time, a low and depressed voice sounded over there, "I know." ”

"Well, hang up."

In a mysterious valley in Shuzhong, the young man looked at the mobile phone that was hung up in his hand, and suddenly laughed softly, he looked up at the few people standing in front of him, and raised the mobile phone in his hand, "Say, what do you think?" ”

"She's good," a young man dressed in hip-hop paused and said seriously.

The burly young man clenched his fists, pouted and said, "Although I am very unwilling, I also think she is very good, especially the things she has done. ”

The young man who answered the phone frowned, looked at him and whispered, "Big Bear, you actually read her information, don't you want to live?!" ”

"I ......"

Young Sven suddenly turned around and kicked Big Bear in the abdomen fiercely, looking at him with a cold look in his eyes, "Big Bear, am I indulging you too much?" Dare to investigate the information of the leader! ”

The big bear was kicked by him and almost fell to the ground, he covered his abdomen and stared at the bespectacled young man with wide eyes, "Lu, you, do you approve of her?" You, you call her the chief?! ”

"Big Bear! Are you still questioning? Are you questioning the Lion's decision or are you questioning something? You can say it, or don't blame me for being unkind! "The voice of the spirit is extremely cold, as if it came out of the Nine Shadows, making people cold from the inside out.

Da Xiong opened his mouth and didn't say anything, although he really wanted to say what Ye Luoxiao was not suitable for, but his straightforward personality determined that he would not say so with a clear conscience. He did obtain Ye Luoxiao's information in violation of the regulations, which he admitted, and he also intended to accept it.

The young man who answered the phone, that is, Little Snake, played with the old-fashioned mobile phone in his hand, looked at Ye Luoxiao and said in a deep voice: "Big Bear, I don't know why you are so disgusted with her, didn't you say that you checked her information?" Tell me about everything you found. ”

"What I found out is everything she did before she entered the Dragon Soul, there are photos, what I see is an immature girl, I don't think she has the strength to be our leader!"

The corners of the little snake's mouth twitched slightly, and he patted his forehead a little speechlessly as he saw the big bear, "Oh my God, you're really enough." I finally had the courage to investigate the leader, but I found out such a backward news, Big Bear, I really admire you. ”

"Uh, is it lagging behind? Where is it lagging behind? ”

The little snake looked at him helplessly, opened the computer in front of him, called up an encrypted folder, unlocked the three-layer password, and put rows of photos and documents inside. The little snake clicked on one of them, and a cold-haired girl appeared in front of them.

In the photo, Ye Luoxiao, dressed in black slim casual clothes, with short black hair and an indifferent expression, is quietly leaning against an army green off-road vehicle. If Ye Luoxiao came to see it, it is estimated that she would not know when she had this photo, and it was secretly photographed.
