On November 23, the Chinese American collectors Fan Jirong and Hu Yingying donated 9 pieces of Qin Gong Jin bronze wares to the country. Cai Wu, Minister of Culture, presented the “Cultural Exchange Contribution Award” to the donors Fan Jirong and Hu Yingying – the highest awards given by the Chinese government to the outstanding contributions of China’s cultural exchanges to foreign and Chinese friendly persons from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.

What are the 9 bronze wares donated by Fan Jirong and his wife? What is the value? This caused a lot of readers' interest. The reporter got in touch with the State Administration of Cultural Heritage and obtained relevant information on the nine bronze wares. He asked the bronze characterization expert Mr. Zhang Songbin to comment on the nine treasures.

The three simple pieces of Qin Gongding are Qin Gongding's simple pieces for the early Spring and Autumn Period (770 BC - the first half of the first 7th century). The largest piece is 35.2 cm high and 35.5 cm deep and 14.8 cm in diameter. The abdominal diameter is 36 cm and the weight is 15,200 grams. The other two tripods were: 32.4 cm in height, 33 cm in abdominal depth, 14.3 cm in abdominal diameter, 31.8 cm in abdominal diameter, 12,920 grams, and 30.5 cm in diameter, 31 cm in abdominal depth, 13.5 cm in abdominal diameter, 31.7 cm in weight and 11,250 g in weight.

The largest one is the same as the latter two, and the ornamentation is roughly the same size and size. The edge of the mouth is folded outwards, and a thick straight ear is set on top, and the thickness is thin and thin, and it is slightly extravagant. Collar neck, wide body, abdomen hanging, shallow flat bottom, hoof-shaped foot. The model is quite generous in the late Western Zhou Dynasty. Ears outside the scales. The neck is decorated with stolen patterns, abdomen ornaments beast heads cross-grain pattern, the structure of the characteristics of Qin State. The Upper part of the foot is decorated with animal prints and has a ridge of nose. The entire decoration style is rough and simple. The inner wall of the device casts two lines of 6 characters, and the line of money is right: "The Qin Gongsong (made of) Bao Ding."

The expert commentary style is unique and thick and heavy. Zhang Songbin: Among all kinds of edible ritual instruments buried in the funeral, tripod is very important. The three Ding styles are the same and the decoration is slightly different. It can be considered as a set of tripods. At that time, a few tripods in the tombs were still a mystery. From the ornamentation point of view, the ornamentation accounted for a large proportion and fullness. Legs and ears are richly ornamented with thick walls, distinct from the commonly used burial instruments used in the late Western Zhou Dynasty and early Spring and Autumn Period. The shape is thick and simple, with no materials, exquisite ornamentation and high archeological value. Although they were unearthed in Gansu Province, they had a distinct Qin Dynasty style: the bottom was larger than the mouth and neck. From the point of view of the casting process, the three raised lines are clearly visible, and it can be seen that they are cast entirely in multiple blocks.

Most of the bronze wares unearthed in the Qin cemetery have the inscriptions of "Qin Gong" or "Qin Zi" and are valuable materials for the study of the history of the Qin State from the late Western Zhou Dynasty to the early Spring and Autumn Period. In addition, the inscription on the tripod is very special. The most commonly found inscriptions on bronze inscriptions are vertical and left-handed books, but this one is the right one, which is rare.

Two pieces of the Qin Gong Temple and the Qin Scales were also works of the early Spring and Autumn Period (770 BC - the first half of the first 7th century). One of them was 16.4 cm high and 18.7 cm deep, 9.7 cm in abdominal depth, 24.5 cm in abdominal diameter, and 5200 mm in weight. g; Another height 16.2 cm diameter 18.9 cm abdominal depth 9.2 cm abdominal diameter 22.8 cm weight 4471.3 grams.

The two shapes and textures are basically the same. Lost cover, mother and child mouth, body bulging belly, followed by three beast foot foot circle, under even a short animal-shaped claw short flat feet. On both sides of the abdomen are set ear-shaped ears, magnificent style, the first long-eared head, the body covered, with a tail-like curling tail. Under the mouth, decorated with beasts and cross-hairs, the belly is decorated with three-layered vertical scales, and the circle is decorated with a full-length scale pattern. The instrument ingot cast two lines and 6 characters: "Qin Gongsong (work) cast with gongs."

Vertical scales, early Spring and Autumn period (770 BC - first half of the first 7th century) works, height 22.1 cm diameter 18.8 cm abdominal depth 14.2 cm abdominal diameter 17.1 cm weight 2999.6 grams, straight mouth, square lips, deep abdomen, abdominal wall Slightly inclined, horn-shaped high ring foot. On both sides of the mouth, there is a scalloped ear. The inner root of the ear is serpentine-shaped, and it is close to the inner edge of the mouth. The mouth decorated with a beast-like cross-grain pattern for a week, and the abdomen was decorated with double-scale vertical scales, with a raised python pattern between the two ring patterns. This piece of beasts on the cross-grain lines, according to the current information is not yet seen in the bronze wares of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the Shanghai Museum collection along the Qingong Ding mouth is very similar to the decoration, Qin Gongding for the early spring and autumn utensils.

The experts also commented on the loss of the bronze ware: Zhang Songbin: At the time, ç°‹ was a food ritual used in conjunction with LD.

According to the regulations of the Western Zhou Dynasty's tripod system, the emperor had nine tripods and eight emperors, seven princes and six tripods, five doctors and four wives, and three tripods and two tripods. The rites of the Western Zhou Dynasty were still used in the early spring and autumn. Judging from the current three Qin Gong Ding and two pieces of Qin Gong Temple, there must be bronze instruments that were lost when they were unearthed. Because according to the ritual system of the Zhou Dynasty, the specifications of the Qin Gong should be no less than the Wuding and the Fourth Temple. It is estimated that what has been discovered is part of it.

From the mouth of the cricket, the lids of these two crickets have been lost. They are delicately crafted, beautifully ornamented and yet heavy in weight. In addition, vertical scale pattern is also one of the rare edible ritual utensils and is very precious.

The reason why these several bronze wares are thick and heavy and not scribbled is because they were produced in the early Spring and Autumn Period, and they also carry the style of the Zhou Dynasty. In the middle and late Spring and Autumn Period, ceremonies broke down and the power of the Zhou dynasty had weakened, so some bronze wares were rough and rough on the builders.
