铜鼎作为早期的一种器具,具有自己的功能与精神标志。不仅在那个时代的生活以及精神文明体系发挥了非常重要的作用。
铜鼎出现时也是作为捧住食物或烧水用,但是后来, 铜鼎成为的象征。在商周时期,有这样一个规定,在过节或过寿时,在富贵家族中,谁得到的鼎多或者说谁得到的鼎大,就表明谁的地位,所以在那时,人们除送佛像等礼品外,还在送鼎,这也表示着对主人的尊敬。随着时光流逝,虽然铜鼎已不再代表,但它存在的艺术价值是不可磨灭的,是任何物质都不能代替的,还永远留在悠久的历史中。大盂鼎上的铭文是史家研究周代分封制和周王与臣属关系的重要史料,一向被史学家高度重视。
北京校友会捐赠的这座“校训鼎”,是一尊铭文为老校长茅以升书体“实事求是”的青铜鼎,高1.92米,长1.72米,宽1.35米,重1.5吨,由北京校友会诚邀中国工艺美术行业协会理事,中国金属艺术工艺大师,井冈山博物馆泽东铜像、北京天坛铜雕铸造者,在金属工艺美术界享有盛誉的石洪祥大师历时一年设计,并用古法工艺精心打造而成。铜鼎、铁鼎等在我们的生活当中都是非常多见的,铜鼎代表着我们青铜文化的发展,它也是一个文明的见证,还是文化的载体。
关于“鼎”的来历及作用:鼎本来是古代的烹饪之器,相当于现在的锅,用以炖煮和盛放鱼肉。许慎在《说文解字》里说:“鼎,三足两耳,和五味之宝器也。”有三足圆鼎,也有四足方鼎。早的鼎是黏土烧制的陶鼎,后来又有了用青铜铸造的铜鼎。传说夏禹曾收九牧之金铸九鼎于荆山之下,以象征九州,让人们警惕,防止被其伤害。自从有了禹铸九鼎的传说,鼎就从一般的炊器而发展为传国重器。国灭则鼎迁,夏朝灭,商朝兴,九鼎迁于商都亳(bó)京;商朝灭,周朝兴,九鼎又迁于周都镐(hào)京。此器也为商代流行的觚爵酒器组合过渡到西周流行的鼎簋鬲组合作了应证,表明当时社会风俗正在经历着重大变革。
About the origin and function of "Ding": Ding was originally an ancient cooking utensil, equivalent to the pot now, used for stewing and filling fish. Xu Shen said in Shuowen Jiezi: "Ding, three feet and two ears, and five fl***ors of the treasure also." There are three-legged round tripod and four-legged square tripod. The earliest tripod was pottery tripod made of clay, and later bronze tripod. Legend has it that Xia Yu once took Jiu Mu's gold and cast Jiu Ding under Jingshan Mountain to symbolize Jiuzhou, so that people are alert to ***oid being hurt by it. Since the legend of Yuzhu Jiuding came into being, the tripod has evolved from a common cooker to a traditional he***y one. When the state was destroyed, Ding moved, Xia Dynasty was destroyed, Shang Dynasty was prosperous, Jiuding moved to the capital of Shang Du Bo (b); when the Shang Dynasty was destroyed, Zhou Dynasty was prosperous, and Jiuding moved to the capital of Zhou Du Ho (h o).
