China ancient bronze craft was highly developed, and many rare treasures were handed down. But in terms of historical value, nothing can compare with Jiuding in Xia Dynasty. Later generations called this political power struggle "Dingding", because three generations regarded Jiuding as a symbol of kingship. Regarding the casting of Jiuding, Mozi Gengzhu said: "In the past, Xia Hou opened ... nine divisions and moved to the Three Kingdoms." The Three Kingdoms refer to Xia, Shang and Zhou. According to Gong Xuan's third year of Zuo Zhuan (606 BC), in the early summer, Kyushu County was ordered to cast Jiuding with copper, and the strange mountains and rivers all over the country were drawn into figures in advance, and then carved on the tripod body respectively. After Jiuding is cast, it is displayed outside the palace gate, so that people can know where they are going at a glance and what ghosts and gods are there to ward off evil spirits. It is said that this move was praised by God, and the Xia Dynasty was blessed by the Emperor of Heaven. As soon as Jiuding was born, it was covered with a mysterious color. In fact, it is not difficult to see its political value through mythical factors. Casting Jiuding with bronze from Kyushu and symbolizing Kyushu with Jiuding are nothing more than to show that they are the masters of Kyushu and realize the unification of the world. Since then, Jiuding has become a treasure of three generations. After the death of Xia, Ding moved to Shang, and after the death of Shang, Ding moved to Zhou. Officially settled in Yong (now Luoyang, Henan), indicating the destiny.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, with the decline of imperial power, powerful governors had a covetous heart for Jiuding. In 606 BC, Chu Zhuangwang, one of the five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period, attacked Lu Hun's Rong and approached the outskirts of Luoyi under the situation of rectifying internal affairs, building water conservancy projects, implementing strict reforms and enriching the country and strengthening the country. King Ding of Zhou was forced to send someone to hold a welcoming ceremony for him. King Zhuang "triumphed over the big with the small, and over the light with the heavy", which shows that he has the ambition to destroy Zhou. From then on, future generations will compete for political power, calling it "winning the championship."

Zhou Yan rate has a strategy. He first urged Qi to help drive away Qin, and promised to give Jiuding to Qi. Qi Jun came to ask, and Yan rate asked Qi Jun which way to go. The result is not appropriate. He also said that Jiuding has nine people, one needs 90,000 people, and 998 1 10,000 people can take it away. Yan rate added: "Even if Wang has one person today, how can he get out?" I am secretly worried about the king. King Qi said, "There are so many children coming that we can't hear them." "Yan said," I dare not bully this big country, but I will decide where to go, and I will move the tripod. "The king of qi no longer mentions Jiuding. Jiuding is really heavy from here, but it must be exaggerated, but from this document, Jiuding must be heavy, or nine.
