Do you know the history of Chinese Cast Bronze Ding Tripod Censer in China? Ding is a kind of cooking device in ancient China. The material is mainly made of bronze or pottery. As early as the Neolithic Age, the Chinese ancestors began to use Tao Ding. In the era of the combination of gold and stone tools, the bronze Ding began to appear. After the development of Xia and Shang Dynasties, the use of Bronze Ding reached its peak in the Zhou Dynasty. Bronze Ding is one of the most important shapes of Chinese bronzes.
In ancient China, in addition to being used as a food container, bronze Ding is also used as a container for food or condiments, offering rituals for gods and ancestors, wares for funeral burials, and even others for use as torture instruments. After the Zhou Dynasty, with the popularity of iron and stove, Ding was gradually replaced by other shapes. After the Song Dynasty, with the rise of some doctrines, some Bronze Ding appeared as decorations. In addition to the antique brozne tripods, some were gold and silver, jade or porcelain.
