Introduction to Maogong Ding: The Maogong Ding, a Western Zhou bronze ware, was unearthed in Qishan, Shaanxi in 1843 and has a history of 2,800 years. The Maogong Tripod is 53.8 centimeters in height, 47.9 centimeters in diameter, and has a net weight of 34,705 grams. Because there are 32 lines of inscriptions on the "registration" of Mao Gong's silence cast in the belly of the tripod, it is named "Mao Gong Ding". The Jadeite Cabbage, Meat-shaped Stone, and Mao Gongding are the three treasures of the National Palace Museum in Taipei.
