Ding, as a symbol of China traditional culture, can be traced back to ancient times. The earliest tripod was gradually evolved from pottery tableware, consisting of pots, pottery legs and stoves. The tripod's main function is to cook food. Its three legs serve as the stove mouth and pillars, which can be lit under the abdomen to cook delicious food.

The legend of Jiuding in Yu Xia, which has been passed down through the ages, sublimated Ding from an ordinary cooker to a national heavyweight cooker. According to legend, Yu Xia regards Jiuding, Kim Joo-sung of Jiumu, as a symbol of Kyushu, and the tripod is engraved with a ghost pattern to warn people and protect national peace. Starting from this legend, the tripod is no longer a simple cooker, but a symbol bearing the national mission and national spirit.

Ding has always occupied an important position in the long history of our country. It not only represents the tradition of cooking delicious food, but also symbolizes national unity and national unity. From the bronze ding in Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties to various ding shapes in later generations, all of them are condensed with the wisdom and creativity of the Chinese nation. Ding is not only the carrier of material life, but also the symbol of spiritual culture. It witnessed the historical changes of our country and carried the fine traditions of the Chinese nation.

In a word, Ding, as an important instrument to spread the country, not only carries the function of cooking delicious food, but also embodies the spiritual pursuit and national symbol of the Chinese nation. From ancient times to modern society, Ding witnessed the prosperity of China's history and condensed the wisdom and strength of the Chinese nation. In the new era, Ding Shi will continue to play a leading role in culture, inherit the excellent traditional Chinese culture and help realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Historical significance of bronze tripod

First of all, the bronze tripod is a symbol of the ancient social hierarchy. In Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, the shape, decoration and quantity of bronze tripod directly reflected the status and power of the owner. As an important ritual vessel for offering sacrifices to gods, Ding can only be used by princes and nobles, and ordinary people are not allowed to touch it. This strict hierarchy is embodied in the bronze tripod.

Secondly, the bronze tripod is an important carrier of ancient civilization. As far as the casting technology of Ding is concerned, the ancients adopted the block casting method, which is a great feat. The decorative patterns, patterns and characters on the tripod reflect the information of history, culture and religion at that time, and provide valuable material for future generations to study ancient civilization.

Thirdly, the bronze tripod witnessed the prosperity and decline of China's history. From the bronze tripod in Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties to the tripod in Warring States, Qin and Han Dynasties, the evolution of its shape, decoration and manufacturing technology reflects the splendid civilization that once appeared in the history of China. At the same time, the spread and disappearance of Ding also revealed the vicissitudes of history.
