1, Simu Wuding is the largest existing bronze ware in the world in the history of bronze casting. The casting of Wu Ding, the mother of Shang Dynasty, fully shows that the bronze casting in the late Shang Dynasty is not only large-scale, but also closely organized and meticulous in division of labor, which is enough to represent the highly developed bronze culture of Shang Dynasty.

2. Wu Ding, the Empress Dowager of Shang Dynasty, was 133 cm tall, 1 10 cm long, 79 cm wide and weighed 832.84kg.. The device has thick ears and folded edges, and its abdomen is rectangular, which is supported by four pillars.

3. The four corners of the abdomen, the middle of the upper and lower edges, and the upper part of the foot are all provided with edges. Based on Yun Leiwen, the earrings are decorated with a series of embossed fish patterns, the outer earrings are embossed with Shuang Hu's head pattern, the abdomen is decorated with gluttonous patterns, the upper part of the column foot is decorated with embossed gluttonous patterns, and the lower part is decorated with two convex patterns. The words "stepmother e" are cast on the inner wall of the abdomen, which is the temple name of Wang Shang's mother. "

4. Wu Ding's body and the four legs of Shang Empress were cast as a whole, while Ding Er was cast after Ding's body was cast. Casting this tripod requires 1000 kilograms of metal raw materials.
