銅鼎是我國傳統(tǒng)的器具，距今已經(jīng)有幾千年的歷史了，我國銅鼎有：

   3.太保方鼎：在清朝道光、先鋒年間出土，鼎高57.8厘米，口徑 23×36厘米，方形，二直耳，折唇，淺腹，平底；口立雙豎耳，耳上有相峙的雙龍；耳外側(cè)和龍身上飾鱗紋，腹部飾獸面紋和三角紋。

   4.司母戊鼎，是我國的青銅器，司母戊鼎器形龐大渾厚，是中國目前已發(fā)現(xiàn)的重的青銅器，是商王祖庚或祖甲為祭祀其母所鑄。經(jīng)測定，司母戊鼎含銅84.77%、錫11.64%、鉛27.9%，與古文獻記載制鼎的銅錫比例基本相符。造型雄奇，肩、腹部與足部作為一體被巧妙地設計成四只卷角羊，各據(jù)一隅，在莊靜中突出動感，匠心獨運。司母戊鼎充分顯示出商代青銅鑄造業(yè)的生產(chǎn)規(guī)模和技術(shù)水平。

關(guān)于“鼎”的來歷及作用：鼎本來是古代的烹飪之器，相當于現(xiàn)在的鍋，用以燉煮和盛放魚肉。許慎在《說文解字》里說：“鼎，三足兩耳，和五味之寶器也。”有三足圓鼎，也有四足方鼎。早的鼎是黏土燒制的陶鼎，后來又有了用青銅鑄造的銅鼎。幾千年來，鼎在中華物質(zhì)文化史中占有重要地位，是中華民族文化的象征之一。傳說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，鼎就從一般的炊器而發(fā)展為傳國重器。國滅則鼎遷，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).
