方格纹铜鼎，夏代青铜鼎，1975年出土于洛阳偃师二里头遗址，该鼎通高20厘米，口径15.3厘米，底径10厘米，其造型和纹饰风格与中原龙山文化晚期的陶鼎几乎完全一致，但材质却是当时罕见的——青铜。

The coffered bronze ding, a bronze ding of xia dynasty, was unearthed in erlitou site of luoyang yanshi city in 1975. The ding has a height of 20 cm, a diameter of 15.3 cm and a bottom diameter of 10 cm. Its shape and decorative style are almost exactly the same as the pottery ding in the late period of longshan culture in the plains, but its material is the rare precious metal at that time -- bronze.

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。目前来说铜鼎在我们日常生活中不是很常见，一般在特定的场合才能看到，但对于鼎我们大家都不陌生。”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。

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).
