2. On the eve of the 50th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations, I received a precious birthday gift - a giant bronze vessel - the Century Baoding presented by the Chinese people.
The Century Tripod is placed on the green lawn of the North Garden of the United Nations Building. The height of the tripod is 0.5 meters, symbolizing the 50th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations; the height of the tripod is 2.1 meters, symbolizing the coming 21st century.
The tripod weighs 1.5 tons, has three legs and two ears, a slightly bulging belly, and a round bottom. It is surrounded by Shang and Zhou Dynasty patterns, relief animal faces, and cloud patterns filling the bottom. The base is decorated with 56 dragons, symbolizing that the 56 ethnic groups in China are all descendants of dragons.
There is an inscription (míng) on the inside of the tripod, "A tripod of the century is cast as a gift to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the United Nations." In front of the tripod are four large bronze characters of "Century Treasure Tripod". Behind the tripod is written "President of the People's Republic of China and a gift from the state in October 1995". The entire tripod has a simple shape and exquisite craftsmanship, making it a magnificent masterpiece.
In ancient times, the tripod was a cooking utensil used by Chinese ancestors, and later developed into a ritual vessel. There are Chinese idioms such as "the bell rings and the tripod eats" and "a word says nine things about the tripod", which reflects the unique status of the tripod in ancient Chinese social life.
As an important ritual vessel, the tripod symbolizes unity, unity and authority, and is a mascot representing peace, development and prosperity.
This century-old tripod is a masterpiece of ancient Chinese bronze art, integrating ancient skills and modern technology. Its overall structure, artistic shape and decorative patterns show the long history and splendid culture of the Chinese nation.
The United Nations collects gifts from countries around the world, each with its own meaning. This Chinese Baoding has a deeper meaning. The ambition is prosperous and the dragon sign is auspicious. It expresses the Chinese people's best wishes for the United Nations and their hope for a better new century. This is also the common wish of the peace-loving people of the world.
