銅雕鼎在我國(guó)青銅器時(shí)代就已經(jīng)出現(xiàn)，至今已經(jīng)有幾千年的歷史了，我國(guó)陸續(xù)的發(fā)現(xiàn)了許多古代的銅鼎，這些銅鼎對(duì)于研究歷史具有重大的價(jià)值，簡(jiǎn)單的介紹一下我國(guó)的銅鼎。

   西周晚期的器具，原器通高93.1厘米，口徑75.6厘米，重201.5公斤，大克鼎又名克鼎和膳夫克鼎，西周孝王時(shí)名叫克的大為祭祀祖父而鑄造。此鼎系周孝王時(shí)期鑄器，歷見(jiàn)著錄，流傳有緒，是研究西周奴隸制度的珍貴資料。

九鼎，是我國(guó)夏朝禹之子啟時(shí)鑄造的。它分別以九只刻樓精美、古樸典雅、氣勢(shì)莊重的青銅大鼎，體現(xiàn)了王權(quán)的集中和至高無(wú)上，反映了國(guó)家的統(tǒng)一和民族的昌盛。西藏和平解放50周年慶典之際，中央政府向西藏自治區(qū)贈(zèng)送“民族團(tuán)結(jié)寶鼎”，矗立于拉薩人民會(huì)堂廣場(chǎng)，象征民族團(tuán)結(jié)和西藏各項(xiàng)事業(yè)鼎盛發(fā)展。銅鼎是我國(guó)古代主要的禮器之一，是從陶制的三足鼎演變而來(lái)的，初用來(lái)烹煮食物，后主要用于祭祀和宴享在我國(guó)原始社會(huì)的夏商周三朝時(shí)就出現(xiàn)了銅鼎。鼎古代原是飪食器，后來(lái)變?yōu)榻y(tǒng)治政治權(quán)利的重要象征，視為鎮(zhèn)國(guó)之寶和傳國(guó)之寶，也是“明貴賤，別上下”等級(jí)制的標(biāo)志。

關(guān)于“鼎”的來(lái)歷及作用：鼎本來(lái)是古代的烹飪之器，相當(dāng)于現(xiàn)在的鍋，用以燉煮和盛放魚(yú)肉。許慎在《說(shuō)文解字》里說(shuō)：“鼎，三足兩耳，和五味之寶器也。”有三足圓鼎，也有四足方鼎。通體以細(xì)密云雷紋為地，頸部飾由夔龍紋組成的蕉葉紋與帶狀饕餮紋，肩上飾四條高浮雕式盤(pán)龍，羊前身飾長(zhǎng)冠鳥(niǎo)紋，圈足飾夔龍紋。早的鼎是黏土燒制的陶鼎，后來(lái)又有了用青銅鑄造的銅鼎。傳說(shuō)夏禹曾收九牧之金鑄九鼎于荊山之下，以象征九州，讓人們警惕，防止被其傷害。自從有了禹鑄九鼎的傳說(shuō)，鼎就從一般的炊器而發(fā)展為傳國(guó)重器。國(guó)滅則鼎遷，夏朝滅，商朝興，九鼎遷于商都亳（bó）京；商朝滅，周朝興，九鼎又遷于周都鎬（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 flavors 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 avoid being hurt by it. Since the legend of Yuzhu Jiuding came into being, the tripod has evolved from a common cooker to a traditional heavy 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).
