Summary
[edit]Part of a rubbing of bronze script engraved on the Song ding (颂鼎).[1]
The text records the appointment of a man named Song (颂) as supervisor of the storehouses in Chengzhou, and is repeated on at least 3 tripod pots (鼎 dǐng), 5 tureens (簋 guǐ) and their lids, and 2 vases (壺 hú) and their lids.[2] The full text is (with added punctuation):
唯三年五月既死霸,甲戌,
王在周康卲宮,旦,王格大
室,即立。宰弘右頌入門,立
中廷。尹氏受王命書。王呼
史虢生冊命頌。王曰:『頌,令
汝官司成周貯廿家,監司
新造貯,用宮御。錫汝玄衣
黻純,赤巿、朱璜、鑾旂、攸勒
用事。』頌拜稽首,受命冊,佩
以出。返入覲璋。頌敢對揚
天子丕顯魯休,用作朕皇
考龔叔、皇母龔姒寶尊鼎,
用追孝祈介康□、純右、通
祿永令,頌其萬年眉壽,
畯臣天子,靈終,子子孫孫寶用。
The original text indicates repetition of the characters 子 and 孫 in the last line using iteration marks. The text is dated the 5th month of the 3rd year of an unnamed king. Shaughnessy identifies the king as Xuan, implying a year of 825 BC.[3]
The image is copied from an old Chinese book published before the Chinese copyright law was set up.
