Happy Tycoon

This, is this the Dayu Jiuding and the Qin Twelve Golden Men? Yang Jing was really taken aback by the dozen or so tall items in front of him, but he immediately realized something was wrong.

No, this is not Dayu Jiuding and Qin Twelve Golden People. This should be imitated by Wu Zetian. The real Jiuding has long been lost, and even Wu Zetian can't find the real Jiuding. Yang Jing stared at it tightly. Looking at the dozen or so big guys, he finally said with certainty.

Yang Jing didn't have the heart to pay attention to the twelve golden men on the periphery, his mind was all attracted by the nine big tripods.

This is the legendary Nine Cauldrons. If it is the real thing, it will be even more powerful than the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom!

In the history of China, Dayu Jiuding is recognized as a symbol of China's Kyushu, while Chuanguo Yuxi is the representative of imperial power. That is to say, Jiuding symbolizes the country of China, while Chuanguo Yuxi is a symbol of China's orthodoxy.

It is difficult to compare who is more noble between the two, but there is no doubt that if the nine great tripods in front of you are genuine Dayu Jiuding, they are definitely super items.

However, the holy ring did not respond to the nine great tripods, which directly proved that the nine tripods were not genuine products of the legendary Dayu Jiuding.

Thinking about it, it is no wonder that long before Qin Shihuang unified the whole of China, the Dayu Jiuding, which symbolized the Kyushu of China, had disappeared. Later, whether it was Qin Shihuang or the emperor of the Han Dynasty, they searched for a long time, but Dayu Jiuding has never been found. No one even knows the size, weight, and shape of Dayu's Jiuding. How could Wu Zetian find the real product of Dayu's Jiuding?

Even if these nine tripods are not authentic, they are also extremely beautiful. In the middle is a round tripod that is close to the height of a person, and this round tripod is also the largest one. Yang Jing knew that even if it was a fake Dayu Jiuding, the round tripod in the middle should be the Yuzhou tripod.

At the top, bottom, left, and right of the Yuzhou tripod, there are four round tripods about half a person's height, and at the four corners, there are four square tripods about half a person's height.

Yang Jing knew that the placement of the nine tripods was also particular. If you look at the placement of the Dayu Jiuding, the top round tripod should be the Jingzhou tripod, and counting down in a clockwise direction, Jingzhou The square tripod on the right side of the tripod should be the Liangzhou tripod, followed by the round Yongzhou tripod, the square Jizhou tripod, the round Yanzhou tripod, the square Qingzhou tripod, the round Xuzhou tripod and the square Yangzhou tripod.

The nine tripods are round and square, and they are arranged in this way. One represents the position of the ancient Kyushu, and the other is a metaphor for the sky is round and the place is smooth, and the yin and yang are smooth. There is a position in the upright and oblique, and Kyushu is Taikang.

Since Dayu made great achievements in governing the Yellow River, Shun Chan let the emperor sit in Dayu, and Dayu created the first dynasty in China-Xia Dynasty. Dayu was the founder of the Xia Dynasty.

According to legend, after Dayu founded the Xia Dynasty, he divided the world into nine prefectures, and ordered the prefects of Kyushu to contribute bronzes to cast the nine tripods, which symbolized Kyushu. It symbolizes a state and concentrates the nine tripods in Yangcheng, the capital of the Xia Dynasty.

Since the casting of Jiuding, the nine bronze tripods have become synonymous with China, and a symbol of the supremacy of kingship and the unity and prosperity of the country. The Xia Dynasty, Shang Dynasty, and Zhou Dynasty were regarded as the national treasures that symbolized the state power.

During the Warring States period, both Qin and Chu sent troops to Luoyi, the king's city of Zhou, to seek a tripod.

During the reign of King Xian of Zhou, it is said that the Jiuding disappeared under Sishui River, and the whereabouts of the Jiuding is still unknown. Later emperors attached great importance to the symbol and meaning of Jiuding, and recast Jiuding many times. Wu Zetian and Song Huizong also cast Jiuding.

The nine great tripods in front of me are obviously the nine tripods recast by Wu Zetian!

It's just that the nine tripods cast by Wu Zetian recorded in history have long been missing. It is estimated that not many people know that Wu Zetian finally regarded the nine tripods she recast as funerary objects.

In the history of China, the importance of Jiuding is unquestionable, and there is even a famous idiom around Jiuding, that is, Aspire to the Central Plains.

The allusion of Winning the Central Plains is that in 606 BC, King Zhuang of Chu sent troops to attack the Rong people living in the land of Luhun. Lu Hun was located in the north of Songxian County, Henan Province, not far from Luoyang, the capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

Of course Lu Hunrong was not his opponent, and the Chu army won a big victory. However, King Zhuang of Chu did not stop there. Instead, he waved his hand and directed the army all the way north, entering the territory of Emperor Zhou, and came to the edge of Luoshui.

King Zhou Ding was very panicked, so he asked Wang Sunman to find out the truth in the name of Lao Jun. After Wang Sunman, the envoy of the Son of Heaven, came to Chu Ying, the King of Chu Zhuang immediately asked Wang Sunman: How big and heavy is the tripod of the Son of Zhou?

At that time, Wang Sunman, who was the doctor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was a very smart person. He knew what King Zhuang of Chu meant when he asked this question, so he responded very astutely: The size and importance of the tripod lies in the virtue rather than the tripod itself. In the past, the Xia Dynasty Zheng When there is virtue, draw images of ghosts and gods from afar, ask the chiefs of Kyushu to pay tribute to bronze wares, cast Jiuding and cast images on the tripods, all the images are on it, and let the people know the gods and monsters.

Therefore, when people enter the mountains and forests of Chuanze, they will not encounter things that are not good for them. These ghosts and monsters will not meet, so they can harmonize the upper and lower to receive the blessings of heaven.

Xia Jie was confused and moved the tripod to the Shang Dynasty for six hundred years. Shang Zhou was tyrannical, and the tripod was moved to the Zhou Dynasty. If the virtues are good and bright, the tripod is heavy even though it is small. If treacherous evil is confused, the tripod, although large, is still light.

There is a certain time limit for God to bless Mingde people. King Cheng fixed the Jiuding in Jiahuo, and the result of divination was that it would be handed down for 30 generations and enjoy the country for 700 years. This is the order of heaven. Although the virtues of the Zhou Dynasty declined, the Mandate of Heaven did not change. The weight of the tripod cannot be asked.

After hearing this, King Zhuang of Chu was speechless and didn't force him any more, and soon left the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

This is the source of Aspiration to the Central Plains.

King Zhuang of Chu is certainly not a simple curious baby, he just wants to know the size and weight of the next Jiuding. It is not difficult to see from Wang Sunman's answer that Jiuding is a symbol of the country, and its migration represents the transfer of political power. Therefore, King Zhuang of Chu's aspiration to the crown revealed his ambition to take Zhou and replace him.

After entering the Warring States period, the vassal states sought Jiuding from Zhou Tianzi more and more frequently. Not only did the State of Qin ask for the Jiuding for many times, but the States of Qi, Wei, and Chu also longed for the Jiuding, and wished they could monopolize it. Zhou Tianzi traveled around in various countries, taking advantage of their mutual conflicts to struggle to keep the country's important weapon.

It can be seen from this that the importance of Jiuding in the hearts of the emperors and princes of the past dynasties in China is so great.

It's a pity that Jiuding was lost during the period of King Zhou Xian, the third last king of the Zhou Dynasty. In the end, even Qin Shihuang could not find the whereabouts of Jiuding. Perhaps because the Jiuding was not found, Qin Shihuang felt that his throne was not legitimate, so he ordered Li Si to create the Jade Seal of Chuanguo.

From a certain point of view, Chuanguo Yuxi can be regarded as the successor of Jiuding. If Dayu Jiuding was not lost in history, there must be nothing about Chuanguo Yuxi.

Dayu's Jiuding has been passed down for two thousand years, and it has been lost for more than two thousand years, so no one can figure out what the style of Dayu's Jiuding is like? Is it square or round? Is it four-legged or three-legged? What inscriptions and decorations are there inside and outside the tripod?

However, there are only records about Dayu's Jiuding, only the second volume of Shi Yi Ji said: Yu cast the Jiuding, five of them are based on the law of yang, and the fourth is based on the number of yin.

Judging from the records in Supplements of Relics, five of Dayu's nine tripods should be three-legged round tripods, and four tripods should be four-legged square tripods, which exactly corresponds to the saying the sky is round and the earth is round.

And the nine tripods in front of him are precisely in this shape. Although it was imitated by Wu Zetian, it can be a very good evidence for the real Dayu Jiuding.

Although these nine tripods are imitations, their value is absolutely difficult to estimate. But Yang Jing still sighed greedily, wishing that the nine tripods in front of him were the real Dayu Jiuding.

PS: Bow down and thank Shaking the World for the reward of 500.

Because it was a morning flight, I had to leave for the airport very early. After dinner, I rushed to send out two chapters first.
