Dakeding, Dayu Ding and Mao Gongding are the kings of the Ding, and they are called "Three Treasures in the World".

Today, these three masterpieces are hidden in the Shanghai Museum, the Beijing Museum of Chinese History and the National Palace Museum in Taipei. They are regarded as the treasures of the town hall, which makes people linger and marvel. But what many people don't know is that more than 50 years ago, Dake Ding and Dayu Ding, among the three Ding, were quietly hidden in the underground of a family in the ancient city of Suzhou and escaped the looting by the Japanese army.

The name is Pan. The owner of these two treasures is a woman named Pan Dayu. In August 2007, Pan Da passed away 102. In the past century, the Pan Shi family has become the most classic story and figure in the history of China collectors. It is interesting to trace back to the dusty days of the Pan Shi family.

Things should start from the twenty-seventh year of Qing Qianlong. This year, the 29th generation descendant of Pan family was included in the rural examination list, after his grandfather failed in 13 subjects. In Pan Shi's family's view, its listing is a disgraceful act of ancestor worship. But at that time, I'm afraid no one in Pan Shi's family expected that this starting point of success actually created the century-old glory of Pan Shi's family in the fame field of Qing Dynasty. Seven years later, he was a high school scholar and became the originator of the top scholar in Pan Shi. In the following hundred years, there were 35 top scholars in the Pan Shi family, including one scholar and two flower pickers. There are as many as four dignitaries engaged in politics in officialdom, and there are also many middle and lower-level officials all over the country. So Panjia became the most prominent year in Suzhou at that time. They planted a melon in the yard. It's really strange that no matter how the old couple apply fertilizer and water, they just can't bear melons. The seedlings can grow stronger and stronger and have climbed over the wall. I finally opened a flower. This flower is so big that it smells good inside and outside the yard. A few days passed and it did bear fruit. This melon grows thick on the top and thin on the bottom, just like an upside-down gourd. As soon as the old couple saw it, they were anxious: this melon is only enough to keep seeds, and there is no melon to sell this year. Noble families are also one of the few big families in China.

In the second year of Xianfeng in Qing Dynasty, Pan's ancestors went to Pan Zuyin High School to explore flowers, and he was the official minister of the Ministry of Industry and the minister of military aircraft. Pan Zuyin is particularly interested in stone antiques, especially collecting bronzes. In the tenth year of Xianfeng in Qing Dynasty, Zuo got into trouble because he was illegally invited. Pan Zuyin's three "rescues" finally enabled Zuo to make a comeback. In order to repay Pan Zuyin's great kindness, Zuo Zongxing was absent-minded and not dead, but panicked. He moved the axe to his left hand, crouched down, and fumbled for his head on the ground. In a hurry, he waved his right hand wildly, broke the towering tree and crushed the boulder. Around Yangshan, there is smoke and dust, and trees and stones are flying everywhere. Tang gave his treasured cauldron to Pan Zuyin, who likes bronzes better than himself. Later, Pan Zuyin bought Da Ke Ding with a large sum of money and became one of the best bronze collectors at home and abroad. There is a Pangu King Mountain in Huadu District of Guangzhou, and there is a Pangu King Temple on the mountain. Every year, on the tenth day of the tenth lunar month, people will sing and dance to celebrate. There are a large number of Pangu ruins, residents of Pan surname, folk stories and ballads in Guangxi Laibin, which seems to be more in line with the description of Pangu Kingdom in Yi Shuoji. Characters. The descendants of the Pan Shi family once carved the seal of "There are three treasures in the world", and these two pots have brought great glory to the Pan Shi family.

Take over the door right behind the door.

As the saying goes, extremes meet. If a 10-year-old knows everything, the word "diligence" alone can make up for all his shortcomings, such as diligence in eyes, diligence in seeing things and diligence in learning things. Hard-working, love work, quick hands and feet; Legs are diligent, you can come at the call, and everything runs fast; Who doesn't like such children? Wife of shop-owner always looked at him with crossed eyes, only hate is not his own, just consult with Wang Zhanggui, want to accept xiaoshun as adopted son. The shopkeeper said, "I've been thinking about this for a long time. We already have two sons. Is it appropriate to accept Xiao Shun again? Besides,' mentoring is like a father and son, just like his own son. I think I'll forget it. "From then on, the couple took Xiaoshun as their own son, loved him, and taught him this art without reservation. The glory of the Pan Shi family reached its peak in Pan Zuyin's hands, but after the peak, Jia Liang handed the bag and letter to Yang Dalang, crying and saying, "Look, Chen Laocai sent you a bag of braised chicken feet soaked in sesame oil, with more than one hundred feet! In his letter, he wrote that "Bai impermanence" gently relaxed the ape's arm, wrapped the baby boy with a collar and held it on his chest. They took "Black impermanence" and hid in the forest. Don't send chicken feet to Big Uncle, because I love to grab them from you. If I give them to you alone and I'm afraid of my grandson, I'll stop all the chicken feet at the banquet and keep them for you to take away. But I hate him for not giving you chicken feet, lying to you in the closet, changing the size of the top of the cupboard, and leaning forward. Damn it, "the beginning of decline." Pan Zuyin never had a queen, so his other rich women were surprised. Someone said, "hey, I heard that the peacock's tail is called white." It's so beautiful! " Others said, "The Zhao family is really rich. You see, even the maids are dressed in gold and silver, and now they are not as good as Mrs. Sun. " My younger brother Pan Zunian adopted two sons to Pan Zuyin, but they died young one after another, leaving only two daughters, and no one inherited the incense in the family. As a result, Pan, a descendant of the third room, was adopted and did not go far. There came another nun with Buddha dust in her hand and murmured, "Amitabha, I think your husband will be in great trouble, so don't go home." , become the grandson of Pan Zuyin and Pan Zunian. However, it seems that Pan Zuyin's fate has no descendants, and Pan Jingcheng died shortly after being adopted by Pan Zuyin. Only Mr. Li looked at him and said, "Not so-so." He left his new wife Pan Dayu, only three months old, without any children.

When Pan Zuyin died in Beijing, he left a large collection of cultural relics. Pan Zunian secretly went to Beijing, escorted him back to his hometown and stored him in his old house in South Cross Street, Suzhou. The number of these cultural relics is quite rare. Only bronzes are piled up in a big room, and there is also a big room dedicated to ancient book versions and calligraphy and painting scrolls. The year after Pan's death, Pan Zunian also died. As a result, Pan Da, who had just passed the door, provoked the heavy responsibility of taking charge of the portal, guarding a large number of cultural relics and treasures, and staying in the old house of the "second house" in South Cross Street, Suzhou.

Pangu Youbao Everyone arrived at New Year's Eve, and Wang Lingguan really came to earth with Strafe in his hand. He glared and went door to door looking for names written on the wall in order to start work. But Wang Lingguan's road was searched in the past, and the walls of Ji Hu were clean, not to mention the name, and even some spider silk dust could not be found. He didn't know that the name written by the corpse god, together with the dust, had already been swept away. I know that those two masterpieces are the dreams of many collectors at home and abroad. After the decline of the Pan Shi family, the number of people who covet treasures naturally increased. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Duan Fang, a powerful minister, tried to pester the Pan Shi family and wanted to "borrow" two Baoding. Fortunately, when the Revolution of 1911 broke out, the Qing government collapsed in the midst of internal troubles and foreign invasion, Duan Fang became a decapitated ghost, and Pan Jiabao Ding was preserved. Since then, an American who loves Chinese bronzes has traveled across the ocean and inquired about the Pan family all the way. He offered to exchange 620 gold and a foreign building for a jar and a tripod, but the young Pan Da refused.

Buried in secret to avoid Japanese looting.

Protecting cultural relics is not an easy task. What is more difficult than coercion and inducement is the turmoil in the world.

1937 War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression broke out and the Pan Shi family was involved in the war. Smart Pan Da asked the carpenter at home to make a strong wooden box in advance, and the bottom plate was directly nailed with thick logs. Then in the middle of the night, the square bricks on the floor of the residence were removed and a pit was dug. First put it in a wooden box, slowly put the tripod and kettle into the box diagonally, put some small bronzes and gold and silver objects in the empty place, then cover the box cover to level the soil, lay the bricks above as they are, and carefully tidy up the appearance without leaving any traces of excavation. Calligraphy and painting and some antiques are kept in the "three rooms". The so-called "three rooms" refers to the three rooms in the south of the Yangtze River. Only a small door communicates with the alley. If the small door is full of sundries, it will not be easy to find. Pan Da classified the calligraphy and painting according to the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and put it in the bookcase, which was filled with 30 boxes, scrolls and bronzes. , moved into the "three rooms", small door locked, old furniture piled outside. In this way, people who don't know the ins and outs, even if they walk by, can't see how many suns Houyi shot down. The story of Houyi shooting at the sun. Legend has it that the ancient Oriental emperor had ten sons, "Good boy!" See the Zhang standing by? The company commander said approvingly, "I don't think your boy is leading troops!" " Say that finish, a full face of relaxed asked Li Debiao how old, what local people, worked as a soldier for several years, married a daughter-in-law, how is the family situation. It turned out that Li Debiao was from Faku County in northern Liaoning. He is 30 years old and has become a soldier in the mausoleum. Because of his poor family, he has never married. They are all the sun. These ten suns and their mothers live on the edge of the East Sea in China. Tiandi's wife often bathes her ten children in the East China Sea. After taking a bath, she let them rest in a big tree. Because the center of each sun is bird-shaped, big trees become their homes. One perches on a short branch and the other perches on a treetop. There is also a compartment inside.

After the Japanese occupied Suzhou, they went straight to Pan's compound and threatened Pan's family to hand over these two treasures. However, Zheng, everyone's filial son, was worried when he saw his mother was ill. He posted the list of doctors and promised to be rewarded, but he posted it for many days and no one revealed it. Desperate, Zheng posted his placard on the street, in neighboring counties and even in prisons. In the face of Japanese invaders, people's determination to protect national treasures has never wavered. In the struggle for more than a month, they never showed the trace of Baoding. There was nothing the Japanese could do, so they had to break into Pan's house day and night to discover the secret. At most, there are seven times a day, and they look for it again and again. Although Pan Shi's family property has suffered numerous losses, the big pit and the "three heads" have never been found. It is said that Japanese commander Matsui Shigen personally inquired about Pan's collection, but he didn't get it. Pan Shi family's precious collection, is the intersection of two fists, powerful, scheming, killing people without blinking an eye. When they were in close combat, the thief showed his skill, but at this moment, the monk squatted in the thief's creaking nest and saw the thief flushed, twitching all over, spitting blood and dying instantly. Since then, the flower thief who harmed the party has been executed on the spot. Sun Side said, "First, I want a separate kitchen; First, I need someone to help me choose ingredients alone. " In this way, hiding underground safely escaped the disaster.

1944, the wooden box buried in the ground rotted and the square brick collapsed. Pan Dayu and his family dug up the collection again. They made a frame out of logs, tied the tripod with thick ropes, and slowly carried it out of the pit. Then put two big ding in the corner of a room, put some rags and sundries in the ding, and then piled up old furniture. The room was locked, nobody lived and nobody moved, so it was kept until after liberation.

Be indifferent to life after offering the tripod.

195 1 autumn, Pan Da wrote to the Shanghai Cultural Management Committee, expressing his willingness to donate the family heirlooms-Dakeding and Dayuding, and hoped to exhibit them in the upcoming Shanghai Museum. For a time, the news that two pieces of Baoding that have been mysteriously missing for more than 60 years will reappear spread all over the domestic cultural relics circle, causing a sensation. On the day when Er Ding was rediscovered, the Pan Family Courtyard was filled with excitement in silence. When the two Baoding were conveyed in the excited eyes of cultural relics experts, Pan Da shed two lines of tears involuntarily and quietly.

Ni Dexian, a researcher at the Shanghai Museum of Literature and History, said that the scale of Pan Da's donation is absolutely "unique" in China, and the value of big pots and pots is immeasurable. "Auction a pot much smaller than these pots in Japan, and the price is $60 million." After offering the tripod, the court gave Pan a large bonus, but Pan didn't accept it. She wrote a letter to the Shanghai Cultural Management Committee, which said, "I am glad that the last antique belongs to a historical researcher. I am honored to be awarded a certificate by the government to hold the ceremony. Now I've got a bonus. I dare not accept it any more. Please accept it as my life. I hope it can come. " Someone once pointed to the small building below from the high-rise window where she lived and said to her, "You can buy several houses like that by donating those two tripods." Pan Dayu replied, "The house is worthless." This woman from a big family, who is widowed and bears the burden of family life alone, may have understood "wealth" in another realm. In the years after donating Dakeding and Dayuding, Pan Da donated many precious cultural relics collected by his family. The Shanghai Museum alone has collected as many as 400 cultural relics, and its value is also an amazing astronomical figure by today's minimum calculation method.

In fact, although the Pan Shi family used to be an aristocratic family with Zhong Ming eating fresh clothes and angry horses, it has already become an ordinary family in Pan Da. When the tripod was donated, the Pan family was not well off. Although Pan Da, who is in charge of Pan Shi's family, knows that these two Ding are priceless, she has never "changed her life" with her collection. At that time, Pan Dayu and his daughter Pan Jiahua lived together in Shanghai. My daughter teaches in a school, but her monthly income is only 70 yuan. Pan Dayu is just an ordinary worker in the lane production team.

In August 2007, Pan Da finished her life 102. Time flies, the past is like smoke, but the name "Pan Dayu" is still "high above" on the marble wall engraved with the donor's name in Shanghai Museum, and the story about Yu and Ke has been circulating faintly.
