Jiuding, the artifact of Zhenguo, the ancient treasure, why was it lost in the Western Zhou Dynasty?

It may be because of the war at that time, it was not protected during the war and was lost, and now it can only be a secret whether it is still preserved in the world.

In fact, it was not lost, but because after arriving in the Western Zhou Dynasty, these treasures were stolen, so in the end, they were incognito and had no voice.

In ancient times, many well-known cultural relics were lost, and this phenomenon can be said to be quite common in the war era. At that time, it was difficult for people to even save their lives, and who had the energy to protect these things.

It must have been deliberately lost, and if you don't want to add this thing that symbolizes the country to someone else, it may have been stolen.

It should be destroyed, or hidden somewhere, because these things can easily provoke wars and are not conducive to world peace.

It may have been stolen by someone later, or it may have been destroyed by some people, thinking that these things are too easy to provoke war.

In my opinion, it is not that they are lost, but that these treasures have been lost, and they may have been stolen and not kept, that is, they have been lost.

Stolen by the bad guys, it may be just a monetary benefit, and they don't think about any treasures, forgetting the symbols of power.

I think it was mainly because it was a war, and it lasted for a long time, so it was lost.

There are many records about this Jiuding in the history books, some say that he has been lost, and some say that it was obtained by Qin Shi Huang, but no one knows where it is now.

The whereabouts of Jiuding in the Western Zhou Dynasty have become a mystery so far.

Jiuding is China's nominal faction of the broad word, symbolizing the supremacy of royal power, the unity of the country, the dust is bright and prosperous, it is rumored that after the establishment of the Xia Dynasty by Dayu, with the bronze of the world's nine animal husbands.

After the establishment of the Shang Dynasty, Jiuding was moved to its capital, and Pangeng set the capital in Yinhou, and Jiuding moved here.

In the Western Zhou Dynasty, after King Cheng of Zhou ascended the throne, Gongdan of Zhou built Luoyi, moved Jiuding to the city, and asked King Cheng to personally preside over the ceremony and place Jiuding in the Ming Hall.

After the beginning of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty declined, and the princes began to covet the royal power, and there were many meanings to win the crown.

Qin, it is said that the second year after the destruction of the Zhou Dynasty, the Jiuding of the Zhou royal family moved west to Xianyang.

Jiuding is a peerless treasure, and its existence defies common senseWhy do you say that, this is because in the Xia, Shang and Zhou periods, everyone was very fond of bronzes, according to the relevant archaeological discoveries and historical records, the bronzes of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties were all the rage, and the people at that time were particularly fond of casting tripods, among which the more famous is Simu Wuding. But Simu Wuding can survive today, why Jiuding, which is known as the important weapon of the country, has no whereabouts and related information!

Jiuding has been lost since the Qin DynastyThe reason why it is contrary to common sense to say that the existence of Jiuding is because Sima Qian once described in the "Historical Records" that Jiuding weighs a thousand pounds, and if it is converted according to the current weight, Jiuding weighs about a ton. It is said that hundreds of thousands of laborers were used to relocate this Jiuding at that time, and it took three or four months, which is incredible when you think about it. Since Jiuding is so large and heavy, according to this scale, it is estimated that Jiuding will be discovered and recorded as long as there is movement, but after the Xia, Shang and Zhou periods, Jiuding's whereabouts are completely gone.

There are many theories about the whereabouts of Jiuding, and according to historical records, these statements contradict each other. I think the more likely reason is that it was flooded, otherwise it would be impossible for Jiuding not to be competed for by these emperors.

The whereabouts of Jiuding in the Western Zhou Dynasty are unknown, and there are two records so far. First, the "Book of Han" said that Jiuding sank in Surabaya in Pengcheng and has not been found so far. Second, the "Historical Records" said that Qin Mugong plundered Jiuding to the capital of Qin. It is very likely that Jiuding has been buried in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.

In fact, whether Jiuding still exists is still an unsolved mystery, according to the "Historical Records" record, Qin Mugong plundered Jiuding to the capital of Qin, but the "Book of Han" said that Jiuding sank in Pengcheng Surabaya, has not been found, so its whereabouts are unknown.

Because the artifact of the town at that time accompanied him to the tomb with the death of the king of the Western Zhou Dynasty, his tomb has not been found so far, so his whereabouts have been unknown.

Jiuding, according to legend, is after Dayu treated the floodIn order to better govern the world, the world was divided into nine states, and nine tripods were cast, each of which symbolized the land of a state. Later, Jiuding gradually became a symbol of national unity and supreme royal power, and was the supreme artifact of Chinese civilization. Because archaeology has not yet found any clues and objects related to Jiuding, many people believe that Jiuding actually does not exist.

First of all, we must clarify this fact, that is, Jiuding must exist, because there were regulations during the Shang Dynasty: the Son of Heaven can use Jiuding, the princes can use seven Ding, the doctor can use Wuding, and the scholar can use one or three DingTherefore, there is no doubt that the Son of Heaven will use Jiuding. After King Wu of Zhou destroyed the Shang, he had publicly displayed Jiuding, and later King Cheng of Zhou also moved Jiuding to Luoyi (Luoyang), and then there were two historical events that can also prove the authenticity of Jiuding's existence.

The first event was during the reign of King Dingding in the ancient Zhou DynastyThe power of the Zhou royal family had weakened to the point that they could only rely on the overlords of the princes to give orders, so the powerful princes coveted Jiuding。For example, after the king of Chu Zhuang defeated Lu Hun's Rong tribe, the Chen soldiers and the Zhou royal family paraded on the border to demonstrate, and the king of Zhou Ding was forced to send Wang Sun Man to comfort the Chu army. When the king of Chuzhuang met with Wang Sunman, he wrote the size and weight of the nine tripods of the royal family, and Wang Sunman was neither humble nor arrogant:

In Germany is not in Ding, the mandate of heaven has not changed, and the weight of Dingding can not be asked。King Chuzhuang understood that the time was not ripe to replace the Zhou family, so he had to withdraw his troops and return, and later King Chuzhuang's "winning the world" became synonymous with the Central Plains. In the forty-second year of King Xian of Zhou,In order to avoid Jiuding from causing trouble (which the princes had coveted for a long time), the Zhou royal family sank Jiuding under the water of Pengcheng (Xuzhou).

Later, although Qin Shi Huang wanted to salvage it, he got nothing after all

Because many of these treasures have been stolen and cannot be recovered.

Many of them may have been destroyed, so nothing has been found.

Actually, it's not like that, he still has leftovers, in the museum.

All of them exist, and some of them are included in the museum, so you can go and see them.

Later, when the Eight-Nation Coalition entered Beijing, they were all snatched by the Japanese, or they may have been smashed.

Because these may have all been decomposed, or they may have been destroyed.

This thing really exists, and there are still traces of it in the museum.

It's possible that they weren't particularly well preserved, so they're gone.

We know that after Dayu ruled the water, the world was divided into, Xuzhou, Jizhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Liangzhou, Yongzhou and Yuzhou and other nine states, for which he ordered people to build nine tripods with bronze, each tripod is engraved with the state's representative famous mountains and rivers. After the casting of Jiuding was completed, it was sent to the capital of the Xia Dynasty. Since then, these nine kings have become the heirloom of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, and are regarded as a symbol of national unity and prosperity.

However, such a world-class treasure disappeared without a trace at the end of the Warring States period, so what about them?

You must know that many emperors in later generations have all gone to great lengths to cast Jiuding, such as Wu Zetian, Song Huizong and others, which shows the irreplaceable significance of Jiuding. However, due to the long history, there are different opinions about the whereabouts of Jiuding. Some people believe that Jiuding has become a must for all the princes and kings in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, such as the weight and size of the king of Chuzhuang, which frightened the king of Zhou and did not dare to breathe, which is the origin of the Central Plains.

It is also recorded that at the end of the Warring States Period, King Wu of Qin led the army to Luoyang in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and surrounded Jiuding full of praise, he pointed to one of the tripods and said: "This is the Yongzhou Ding, it is the Ding of Qin, we should bring it back." And the ** who guarded Wang Ding sarcastically said, "This Ding weighs a thousand catties, and no one can lift it."

Yingdang thought that he had infinite strength since he was a child, and it was not a piece of cake to lift a tripod, but he didn't expect that his tibia would be crushed because of lifting the tripod, and he died of injuries that night. Of course, the Qin State naturally wanted to take revenge, and after the Qin Dynasty destroyed the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, it used a lot of manpower to move Jiuding to Xianyang, and it has been missing since then.

It is also said that after Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms, he very much hoped to get Jiuding to show his royal power. During a southern tour, he used thousands of soldiers to salvage in Pengcheng Surabaya, and in the end he didn't even find the shadow of Ding, and in order to replace the role of Jiuding, he ordered someone to make a jade seal of the country. There is also a theory that Qin Shi Huang had already found Jiuding and buried it in the mausoleum as his own burial object, which is a bit far-fetched and can only be verified on the day when the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is opened in the future.

As a result, the whereabouts of Jiuding have become an insoluble mystery that has plagued future generations for two thousand years.

Jiuding, an ancient artifact of Zhenguo, has not been found in all dynasties, is it really in the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang?
