1992，A bronze tripod unearthed from the Heihe water diversion construction site in Chang'an County, Shaanxi Province (now Chang'an District, Xi'an)。According to on-site investigation by archaeologists，The bronze tripod was unearthed in the south of Xujiazhai Village, Shendian Township, about 2 kilometers south bet365 bonus code louisiana county seat，Pushed out by bulldozer during construction，Severe damage。

The bronze tripod has erect ears，Xiaopingyan，Hemispherical deep belly，hooves。The lower edge bet365 bonus code louisiana mouth is decorated with a curved band。The stolen curve pattern is the deformed Kuifeng pattern，There is a purpose in the middle，With a string pattern underneath。There are three sets of string patterns between the three legs on the bottom bet365 bonus code louisiana abdomen，Two per group。Dingtong height 41 cm，Caliber 40 cm，Ear height 7.9cm、Ear width 9.5cm，Foot height 18 cm，Foot diameter 4 cm，Wall thickness 0.5cm，Total weight 15.4kg。The bronze tripod broke off at one foot，Repaired by welding。There is a break under the mouth rim，Total length 24 cm。There is thick soot at the bottom bet365 bonus code louisiana tripod，There are also traces of soot on the word mouth and decoration，Indicates that this tripod is a practical tool。

　1997，Chang'an County Museum inventory of cultural relics in the warehouse，When removing rust from utensils，Discovered inscriptions on the inner wall of the belly of the tripod，16 lines and 165 words in total，There are 2 Chongwen symbols。Due to a broken foot，Resulting in several words being mutilated。The inscription mainly records the fact that bet365 bonus code louisiana Zhou granted land to Wu Hu，The author Wu Hu accepted the land granted by the bet365 bonus code louisiana of Zhou，And recorded the four borders。

From the shape of Wu Huding、Look at the decorations，Obvious characteristics of the late Western Zhou Dynasty。According to Li Xueqin’s interpretation，The "Wu Hu" in the inscription is not the Wu family，"Wu" should be read as Yu Heng's Yu，is the official name，"Zhou Kang Palace Yi Palace" should be the temple of the Yi bet365 bonus code louisiana，The "bet365 bonus code louisiana of Thorns" should be bet365 bonus code louisiana Li，And believes that in the inscription "there is the temple of the Yi bet365 bonus code louisiana，Also known as bet365 bonus code louisiana Li，There is no doubt that the tripod was made during the reign of bet365 bonus code louisiana Xuan”。The "Report on the Results of the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasty Project from 1996 to 2000 (Simplified Version)" sets it as the eighteenth year of bet365 bonus code louisiana Xuan (810 BC)，Considered to be an important fulcrum in the late Western Zhou Dynasty。Wang Shimin、Chen Gongrou、Zhang Changshou's "Study on the Periodization and Dating of Western Zhou Bronze Wares" designated it as the standard vessel of the Xuan Dynasty。Zhang Wenyu thinks，The calendar date of the inscription is not equal to the casting time，Wu Huding Calendar History，It is consistent with the celestial phenomena in the eighteenth year of bet365 bonus code louisiana Zhou Li。Most scholars today believe that the Wuhu Tripod is a weapon from the Xuan Dynasty。

The greatest value of Wu Huding is that it provides a fulcrum for historical chronological research，Among the 7 pivot points bet365 bonus code louisiana Western Zhou Dynasty determined by the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasty Project，Bronze ware accounts for 5，Wu Huding is one of them，Also the first fulcrum。The materials on which these seven fulcrums are based are:

Late bet365 bonus code louisiana

1. Wu Huding and the eighteenth year of bet365 bonus code louisiana Xuan

2. The thirty-third year of Jin Hou Su Zhong and bet365 bonus code louisiana Li

Mid-bet365 bonus code louisiana

　　3.The ancient version of "Bamboo Book Annals" "Tian Zaidan" and the first year of bet365 bonus code louisiana Yi

4. Hu Guigai and bet365 bonus code louisiana Mu for thirty years

5. Xian Gui and the Thirty-fourth Year of bet365 bonus code louisiana Mu

Early bet365 bonus code louisiana

6. Jingfang Ding and the ancient "Bamboo Book Annals" the first year of bet365 bonus code louisiana Zhao

　　7."Shang Shu·Zhao Gao" and "Bi Ming" calendar days and becoming a bet365 bonus code louisiana、The first year of bet365 bonus code louisiana Kang

These 7 fulcrums are important elements that constitute the bronze inscriptions calendar，It can also be used to check whether the bronze inscriptions are reasonable。The academic community now generally believes that，There is an exact date for bet365 bonus code louisiana Xuan’s reign，The eighteenth year of bet365 bonus code louisiana Xuan, that is, 810 BC。Thanks to the accurate fixation of bet365 bonus code louisiana Xuan’s chronology，Use the calendar recorded in the Wu Huding inscription as a fulcrum of the late Western Zhou Dynasty，It happens to verify that the chronology in "Historical Records" is credible。

Another great value of Wu Huding is that it reflects the land system of the late Western Zhou Dynasty。It can be known from the inscription on the tripod，The bet365 bonus code louisiana of Zhou granted land to Wu Hu，It was decided by bet365 bonus code louisiana Li，But there was no time to implement it。After bet365 bonus code louisiana Shi (i.e. bet365 bonus code louisiana Xuan) ascended the throne，Reaffirmed bet365 bonus code louisiana Li’s order。It can be seen in the late Western Zhou Dynasty，Land grant must be ordered by the bet365 bonus code louisiana；And the procedures are strict，After the royal court issued an order，Shan Fu Fengsheng and Si Gong Yong Yi inspected the boundaries of the fields，Neisitu TempleMeasure the road，Yin Youshou Shi records boundary survey and other matters，Finally, Wu Hu thanked Shanfu Fengsheng and others。

In addition，The Wu Huding inscription also contains records about the twelfth month (leap month)。Zhizun is also mentioned in the bronze inscriptions of the Western Zhou Dynasty、婜尊、婜卣、Xiaochen Jinggui、Mugui。Among these six "Thirteenth Month" bronzes，Zhi Zun、婜尊、婜卣、The minister Jing Gui has no bet365 bonus code louisiana years，Extremely difficult to date and verify。The Year of the bet365 bonus code louisiana in the Inscriptions of Mu Gui and Wu Huding、Month、Moon phase、The daily stems and branches are relatively complete。The inscription on Wu Huding records: "Eighteen years of the year of the 鹹"，Ba Bingxu was born in the eleventh month of the third month..." If it is calculated that Wu Huding was cast in the thirteenth month of the eighteenth year of bet365 bonus code louisiana Xuan of Zhou Dynasty，This year happens to be a leap year。
