Baoji has unique human and geographical resources,This is Donglian Central Plains,South Bashu,The main transportation route north to Gansu and Qinghai,Is an important node on the Silk Road。This is also the birthplace of the bet365 withdrawal and Qin Dynasties、The birthplace of Chinese ritual and music culture。The convergence of Baoji fiefdoms during the Shang and bet365 withdrawal dynasties、Nobles gather,The large number of tombs and cellars bear witness to that great era that even Confucius was amazed by。

Baoji is known as the “Hometown of Bronze”,The main reason lies in the large number of inscribed bronzes unearthed in the bet365 withdrawal,The main characteristics are summarized as follows。

  First of all, they were bet365 withdrawal early and in large quantities.According to "Han Shu·Jiao Si Zhi" records,A bronze tripod was unearthed in Meiyang, Fufeng during the reign of Emperor Xuan of the Western Han Dynasty,Zhang Chang, who was then Jing Zhaoyin, thought after reading the explanation,This is a nobleman named Shichen who was rewarded by the King of Zhou,Made as a commemoration。This vessel became the earliest bronze vessel with inscriptions from the bet365 withdrawal unearthed in the Baoji area clearly recorded in documents。

The "Archaeological Map" contains a total of 15 inscribed bronzes unearthed in the Baoji area during the Northern Song Dynasty,Including Donggong Fangding、Boshu Fugui、Mugui、Uncle Liangfu、Burke Pot etc.。More than a hundred years from the end of the Qing Dynasty to the founding of New China,Many national treasures and important weapons were unearthed。Ru Mao Gong Ding、Dake Ding、大盂cauldron、Sanshi Pan、Guo Jizi Baipan, etc.。The number of bet365 withdrawal is often more than a hundred words,eloquent,Magnificent。Especially after the founding of New China,With the great development of archaeology,More bronzes with bet365 withdrawal are released。

From the following sets of data, we can see the value and status of Baoji bronzes。Mr. Wu Zhenfeng's 35-volume "Shang and Zhou Bronze Inscriptions and Image Collection" and the 4-volume "Shang and Zhou Bronze Inscriptions and Image Collection Continuation" include a total of 20,895 pieces of inscribed bronzes in public and private collections,Among them, 7373 pieces of Western Zhou bronzes (a considerable number of which have no excavated locations)。Mr. Zhang Tianen's "Shaanxi Bronze Inscription Collection" contains 1973 pieces of bronzes with inscriptions,991 of them were unearthed in Baoji,Including 934 pieces of Western Zhou bronzes (including a small number of merchant vessels unearthed from Zhou tombs)。It can be seen from this,The number of bronzes with inscriptions unearthed in Baoji accounts for half of that in Shaanxi Province,Only the inscribed bronzes from the bet365 withdrawal account for about 13% of the books collected by Mr. Wu Zhenfeng。

  The second most common type is bronze wares with long bet365 withdrawal.According to statistics from "Inscriptions",There are 67 pieces of bet365 withdrawal bronzes with inscriptions of more than 100 characters that have been handed down and unearthed in Baoji area,The total number of words is nearly 12,000 words。The inscriptions are mainly concentrated on the tripod、簋、On the disk,Rumao Gongding 497 words、Forty-Three Years of Tunding 320 Words、Da Yu Ding 291 words、Dake Ding 290 words,Mugui 221 words、bet365 withdrawal簋134 bet365 withdrawal,bet365 withdrawal簋124 words,倨 Pan 372 words、Sanshi Pan 350 words、Wall plate 284 words、Guo Jizi white plate 111 words。The long inscription bronze font is simple and simple,The writing is gentle and smooth,Mou Pian Bu Bai Shu Lang,Vast and rich content。The bet365 withdrawal people used their small state to destroy the merchant queen of Dayi,Proposed "Destiny is always the same",The political philosophy of "virtue is the only supplement"。Under the guidance of this concept,Bronze ritual vessels have undergone major changes from the decorative style to the system of use。Compared with the bizarre and ferocious Shang Dynasty bronzes,The shape of Western bet365 withdrawal bronzes returned to rationality。Although there are occasionally those with complicated and exaggerated decorations,But the quantity is limited after all。Yin people still appreciate wine,bet365 withdrawal people value food。From the perspective of ritual vessel combination,Ding Gui replaced Gu Jue and became the core of ritual vessels,The number of water vessels represented by Panzi is also gradually increasing。These large bronzes provide enough space for the display of inscriptions,This is probably the objective reason why Changming bronzeware became popular in the early bet365 withdrawal Dynasty。

The "Book of Rites and Sacrifice" specifically explains the meaning of the bronze inscriptions。"The Inscriber,On the virtues and goodness of his ancestors、Meritorious、Xunlao、Celebration、Reputation,Listed in the world,The Sacrificial Vessel,It has its own name,To worship their ancestors。Xiang Ancestors,So we respect filial piety。" The article also said: "This is why a gentleman's view is based on inscriptions,It’s a beautiful name,Also beautiful。”The purpose of casting inscriptions is to praise the virtues of ancestors,To fulfill the filial son’s wishes。Carefully consider your words and sentences,Then cast it on the sacrificial vessel。The gentleman is looking at these inscriptions,Not only appreciate the virtues of the person being praised,Also praise the author’s behavior。It can be seen from this,Those structures are regular,An interesting bronze inscription,Not only the need to comfort the ancestors during sacrifices,It is also the need to inherit the family’s glory forever。The emphasis on bronze inscriptions became the subjective reason for the popularity of bronzes with Changming inscriptions in the bet365 withdrawal。

  Finally, the bronze ware with long bet365 withdrawal is the important weapon of the ancestral temple,Mostly unearthed from cellars。Celling is a common method of unearthing bronzes in the Baoji area。Different from tombs,Cellars often contain artifacts belonging to several generations of a family。This is helpful for understanding the distribution of aristocratic families during the bet365 withdrawal、Interrelationship,And the official system, etc. are of great significance。

Despite Liaoning、Sichuan、Hunan、Bronze caves have been discovered in Henan and other places,Zhangjiapo, Fenghao area in the province、Mawang Village、Xinwang Village and others have also been unearthed one after another,But from the cellar density、Looking at the frequency and quantity of excavations,Baoji area, especially Fufeng、The core area of ​​Zhouyuan at the junction of Qishan Mountain is the most significant。Over 70 years since 1949,More than 40 batches of bronze ware hoards were discovered in Baoji area。For example, 39 pieces were collected in Qijia Village, Fufeng in 1960,28 of them have inscriptions;103 pieces from the Baicun cellar in Fufengzhuang in 1976,75 of them have inscriptions;37 items stored in No. 1 Dongjia Village, Qishan,30 of them have inscriptions;27 items stored in Yangjia Village, Mei County,Each piece has an inscription。Mr. Zhang Maorong has done special research on the inscribed bronzes of the bet365 withdrawal unearthed in Zhouyuan。He is sorting out Duke Zhou、Guo Ji、Micro History、Qiu Wei、Mr. Mao and other centuries-old families who were able to calculate detailed lineages and inheritance relationships pointed out,“What we have seen is not just hundreds or even thousands of dumb bronzes,But active on the Zhouyuan stage,One after another,Alternative rise and fall,A family figure who performs scenes of historical drama,And their leader——King Zhou”。

With the pace of destroying business,King Wen moved the capital to Fengyi,King Wu builds Haojing,The political center seems to be moving eastward。However,The important artifacts from the ancestral temples of centuries-old families frequently appear in the form of cellars in Baoji,This has to make people think deeply about Zhou Yuan’s nature and role after the royal family moved the capital。Mr. Zhang Guangzhi thinks,"Qizhou has always been the place where the Zhou family, palaces, ancestral temples and important ceremonial vessels are located",Equivalent to a religious center。Some scholars believe that even if the capital is moved,Zhouyuan is still the hometown of the Zhou royal family,Enjoy a high political status。Given that historical documents and archaeological remains do not completely correspond,Mr. Song Jiangning has a unique approach,Study from the perspective of geography, landforms and water resources distribution,It is proposed that the transfer of the economic center of the Guanzhong Plain from the Great Zhouyuan to the Xi'an region mainly occurred during the Qin and Han Dynasties,"Although it is not certain whether Zhouyuan is the capital based on the current data,But there is no doubt that it was the largest economic center in the bet365 withdrawal”。A large number of archaeological remains from the bet365 withdrawal discovered in the Baoji area,And the contents reflected in the numerous inscribed bronzes unearthed,Religious Center、Economic centers are often accompanied by political centers。The construction of Fenghao capital is the same as that of Luoyi in Chengzhou,I’m afraid it’s all for military strategic purposes,And Zhouyuan has always been the core political area in the bet365 withdrawal。
