Why did Simuwu Dafang Ding change its name?

The name Simu Wuding was first named by Guo Moruo, a famous Chinese writer and archaeologist. The reason for its name is that the tripod is engraved with the word "Simuwu".

At that time, Ding was named because the name "Simuwu" was engraved on the back of Ding. Now experts say that the above words are actually not "Simuwu" but "stepmother Wu". According to the expert's research, it has the meaning of monarch and mother, e is his mother's name, and this tripod is used as a sacrificial tool, which means mourning for his mother to a great extent.

Brief introduction of Simu Wuding:

The stepmother Wuding is133cm high,110cm long, 79cm wide and weighs 832.84kg.. The device has thick ears and folded edges, and its abdomen is rectangular, which is supported by four pillars. The four corners of the abdomen, the middle of the upper and lower edges and the upper part of the foot have leaves.

Stepmother's tripod body and four feet are integrally cast. Wu Ding, the heavenly queen of Shang Dynasty, was huge, magnificent and exquisite in craftsmanship. Exquisite dragon patterns and gluttonous patterns are cast around the tripod body, which adds a sense of grandeur to the cultural relics themselves.

The bronze decoration represented by gluttony has the significance of affirming itself and protecting society. In primitive society, the wizard was the spiritual leader of the society at that time, and this gluttony may be the god beast in the wizard image, and then slowly formed the primitive totem, which has extremely important sacred significance and protection for the clan and tribe.

These symbols contain great primitive power in fantasy and are symbols of mystery, terror and intimidation.
