大(da)盂(yu)鼎,清(qing)道光年(nian)(nian)間(公(gong)元(yuan)1849年(nian)(nian))出土(tu)于陜(shan)西郿縣禮村(cun)(cun)(今(jin)寶雞眉縣常興鎮楊家(jia)村(cun)(cun)一組,即李家(jia)村(cun)(cun)),出土(tu)后(hou)便被販賣至文物市場。它是西周(zhou)早期青銅(tong)禮器中(zhong)的重器,因(yin)作(zuo)器者是康王時(shi)大(da)臣名盂(yu)者而得名,與之同(tong)出的小盂(yu)鼎已佚。
清朝道光(guang)時(shi)期的(de)(de)(de)岐山首富宋金鑒把銅鼎(ding)買下,因為(wei)器(qi)形巨大(da),十分引人矚目,鼎(ding)很(hen)快被岐山縣令周(zhou)庚盛(sheng)占有,他把鼎(ding)轉賣到北(bei)京的(de)(de)(de)古(gu)董商人。宋金鑒在考中翰林(lin)后(hou)出價(jia)3000兩白銀(yin)又購得(de)了寶(bao)鼎(ding),在他去世后(hou),后(hou)代(dai)以(yi)700兩白銀(yin)賣給陜甘總督(du)左(zuo)宗棠的(de)(de)(de)幕(mu)僚袁保恒,袁深(shen)知左(zuo)宗棠酷愛(ai)文玩,得(de)寶(bao)鼎(ding)后(hou)不(bu)敢(gan)專(zhuan)美,旋即(ji)將(jiang)大(da)盂鼎(ding)獻給上(shang)司以(yi)表孝(xiao)心(xin)。左(zuo)宗棠在發跡前(qian)曾為(wei)湖南巡撫駱(luo)秉章的(de)(de)(de)幕(mu)僚,理湘省全部軍務。雖非(fei)顯(xian)貴(gui),也頗得(de)春風。加之(zhi)自視(shi)極高,恃才傲物,不(bu)免為(wei)人所陰嫉。
咸豐(feng)九(jiu)年(公元(yuan)1859年),左(zuo)宗棠(tang)被永州總(zong)兵樊燮讒言所(suo)傷,遭(zao)朝廷議罪(zui)。幸(xing)得(de)(de)時(shi)(shi)任侍讀學士的(de)潘(pan)祖(zu)蔭援(yuan)手,上奏咸豐(feng)皇帝力(li)保宗棠(tang),且多(duo)方打(da)點,上下疏通(tong),左(zuo)才(cai)獲脫免。潘(pan)乃當時(shi)(shi)著名的(de)金石(shi)收藏大(da)(da)(da)家(jia),左(zuo)宗棠(tang)得(de)(de)大(da)(da)(da)盂鼎(ding)(ding)后(hou)遂以相贈,以謝(xie)當年搭(da)救之恩。此(ci)后(hou),大(da)(da)(da)盂鼎(ding)(ding)一(yi)直為(wei)潘(pan)氏所(suo)珍藏。雖然也(ye)時(shi)(shi)而(er)有人(ren)(ren)覬覦此(ci)鼎(ding)(ding),但畢竟(jing)潘(pan)氏位高權重(zhong),足可保全大(da)(da)(da)鼎(ding)(ding)無虞。至潘(pan)祖(zu)蔭故,其弟(di)潘(pan)祖(zu)年將大(da)(da)(da)盂鼎(ding)(ding)連同其它珍玩(wan)一(yi)起(qi),由水路從北京運回蘇州老家(jia)。大(da)(da)(da)鼎(ding)(ding)作為(wei)先人(ren)(ren)故物(wu)(wu),睹(du)物(wu)(wu)思人(ren)(ren),彌顯珍貴(gui),堪為(wei)傳家(jia)之寶,不輕示人(ren)(ren)。光緒之末(mo),金石(shi)大(da)(da)(da)家(jia)端(duan)(duan)方任兩江總(zong)督。曾(ceng)一(yi)度挖空心思,想據大(da)(da)(da)盂鼎(ding)(ding)為(wei)己(ji)有。均為(wei)祖(zu)年所(suo)拒(ju)。但端(duan)(duan)方之欲始終為(wei)潘(pan)家(jia)所(suo)患。直至辛亥(hai)年,革(ge)命暴發,端(duan)(duan)方被殺。潘(pan)家(jia)和大(da)(da)(da)鼎(ding)(ding)才(cai)真正逃過端(duan)(duan)方之難。
民(min)國初年,曾有美(mei)籍人士專(zhuan)程來(lai)華(hua)找潘(pan)(pan)氏商談求讓大鼎(ding),出價達數(shu)百兩黃金之巨。但(dan)終(zhong)為(wei)(wei)(wei)潘(pan)(pan)家(jia)(jia)所回絕。三十年代中葉,國民(min)黨(dang)當局在(zai)蘇州(zhou)新建一(yi)幢(chuang)大樓。黨(dang)國大員忽發(fa)奇想,要在(zai)大樓落成后(hou)以紀(ji)念為(wei)(wei)(wei)名辦(ban)一(yi)展覽會(hui),邀潘(pan)(pan)家(jia)(jia)以大鼎(ding)參展。以圖無限(xian)期占有大鼎(ding)。然此(ci)拙(zhuo)劣伎(ji)倆為(wei)(wei)(wei)潘(pan)(pan)氏識(shi)破(po),婉言拒絕了參展。
1937年日軍(jun)侵華時,蘇州很快(kuai)淪陷。國(guo)將不(bu)國(guo),人(ren)(ren)(ren)命難保。此(ci)時,潘(pan)(pan)祖(zu)年已作古。潘(pan)(pan)家(jia)無(wu)當戶(hu)之人(ren)(ren)(ren),皆婦孺。英雄出(chu)少年,當此(ci)危難之時,潘(pan)(pan)祖(zu)蔭的(de)侄(zhi)孫(sun)潘(pan)(pan)承厚(hou)、潘(pan)(pan)景鄭等商定將大(da)鼎(ding)及全部(bu)(bu)珍玩入土保全。經反(fan)復(fu)(fu)遴選,決定將寶物(wu)(wu)藏于(yu)二進院(yuan)落的(de)堂(tang)屋。這是一(yi)間(jian)久(jiu)無(wu)人(ren)(ren)(ren)居(ju)的(de)閑房,積塵很厚(hou),不(bu)會引人(ren)(ren)(ren)注目。主意已定,潘(pan)(pan)家(jia)人(ren)(ren)(ren)苦干(gan)兩天兩夜(ye)才將全部(bu)(bu)寶物(wu)(wu)入藏地(di)下。又將室內恢復(fu)(fu)成(cheng)原樣。整個(ge)過程除潘(pan)(pan)家(jia)人(ren)(ren)(ren)以外另有兩個(ge)傭工(gong)和一(yi)個(ge)看門(men)人(ren)(ren)(ren)參與其中,均(jun)被反(fan)復(fu)(fu)叮(ding)囑要嚴守秘(mi)密。此(ci)后不(bu)久(jiu),潘(pan)(pan)氏(shi)全家(jia)即往上海避亂。潘(pan)(pan)宅(zhai)一(yi)時竟成(cheng)了日軍(jun)搜查的(de)重點。經過反(fan)復(fu)(fu)的(de)搜查并挖地(di)三尺均(jun)無(wu)所見,日軍(jun)也只得作罷。日軍(jun)占領期(qi)間(jian),潘(pan)(pan)家(jia)的(de)看門(men)人(ren)(ren)(ren)曾幾次盜掘了若干(gan)小(xiao)件的(de)珍藏,賣給洪姓古董商人(ren)(ren)(ren)。但大(da)鼎(ding)過于(yu)沉重,無(wu)法搬動,得以幸免。
光(guang)陰荏苒,在歷經十余年戰(zhan)亂(luan)之后,中國(guo)解放(fang)了(le)(le)。潘家后人(ren)見(jian)人(ren)民政府極為(wei)重視對(dui)文(wen)物(wu)的(de)保護(hu),認(ren)為(wei)只有這樣(yang)的(de)政府才可托付(fu)先(xian)人(ren)的(de)珍(zhen)藏。全(quan)家商議后,由潘祖(zu)蔭的(de)孫(sun)媳潘達于執筆,于1951年7月6日(ri)寫信給(gei)華(hua)東(dong)文(wen)化部(bu),希望(wang)將(jiang)大盂(yu)鼎(ding)(ding)和大克鼎(ding)(ding)捐獻(xian)給(gei)國(guo)家。同(tong)時(shi)也(ye)希望(wang)將(jiang)兩件大鼎(ding)(ding)放(fang)在上海(hai)博物(wu)館展出。7月26日(ri),文(wen)管(guan)會派(pai)專員在潘家后人(ren)的(de)陪同(tong)下赴蘇州(zhou),大鼎(ding)(ding)得以重見(jian)天日(ri)。為(wei)表彰潘達于的(de)獻(xian)寶壯(zhuang)舉(ju),華(hua)東(dong)文(wen)化部(bu)于10月9日(ri)舉(ju)行了(le)(le)隆重的(de)頒獎儀式。
1952年(nian)上海(hai)博(bo)物(wu)(wu)館(guan)落成(cheng),大盂鼎藏入此(ci)館(guan)。1959年(nian),北京(jing)中(zhong)國歷史(shi)博(bo)物(wu)(wu)館(guan)(現中(zhong)國國家博(bo)物(wu)(wu)館(guan))開館(guan),上博(bo)以(yi)大盂鼎等125件(jian)館(guan)藏珍品支(zhi)援(yuan)。從此(ci)大盂鼎入藏中(zhong)國國家博(bo)物(wu)(wu)館(guan)。

銘文中,周康王向(xiang)盂(yu)講述文王、武王的立國經驗,告(gao)誡(jie)盂(yu)要效法(fa)其祖(zu)先(xian),忠(zhong)心輔佐王室,并賞(shang)賜盂(yu)鬯、命(ming)(ming)服、車馬、邦司、人鬲、庶人等(deng)。銘文中語句“丕顯文王受天有(you)大(da)命(ming)(ming)”體現(xian)了周人的天命(ming)(ming)觀,而另一語句“我(wo)聞殷(yin)(yin)墜命(ming)(ming),唯殷(yin)(yin)邊侯甸與殷(yin)(yin)正百辟(pi),率肆于酒(jiu),故(gu)喪師矣”,則是周康王告(gao)誡(jie)盂(yu),商內、外(wai)臣僚(liao)沉湎(mian)于酒(jiu),以致(zhi)于亡國,透(tou)露出周人對(dui)于商人嗜酒(jiu)誤國這一前車之鑒的警示。
銘文(wen)(wen)中“有”、“厥”、“又”等字波磔分明,得于用筆(bi)過程(cheng)中自覺的提、按意(yi)識。通篇文(wen)(wen)字布局(ju)規整,書風凝重。
銘文(wen)的內容(rong)大致可分為三段(duan):
第一部分用較多文字(zi)說(shuo)明商(shang)人縱(zong)酒是周興(xing)起和商(shang)滅(mie)亡的(de)原因,贊揚了周代文武(wu)二王(wang)的(de)盛德。表示(shi)康王(wang)(武(wu)王(wang)的(de)孫子)自(zi)己要(yao)以文王(wang)為典范(fan),告誡盂(yu)也要(yao)以祖父南公(gong)作榜樣。
第二部(bu)分主要(yao)是康(kang)王命(ming)盂幫助他掌管軍(jun)事和統治人民,并(bing)且賞賜給盂香(xiang)酒、禮服、車馬、儀仗和奴隸1726個(ge),并(bing)叮囑盂要(yao)恭敬辦(ban)政(zheng),莫(mo)違王命(ming)。
第三部(bu)分說明盂作(zuo)此寶鼎以祭(ji)祀(si)其(qi)祖父南(nan)公(gong) 。
銘(ming)文(wen)載(zai)康王(wang)(wang)向盂敘述周文(wen)王(wang)(wang)、周武(wu)王(wang)(wang)的立(li)國經驗。認為(wei)(wei)文(wen)王(wang)(wang)、武(wu)王(wang)(wang)得以(yi)卓越的業績立(li)國,主要(yao)是由于(yu)其臣(chen)屬從不酗酒,每(mei)逢祭祀,認真、恭敬,而商王(wang)(wang)的亡國教訓就在(zai)于(yu)沉迷于(yu)酒。由此告誡(jie)盂要(yao)效(xiao)法(fa)祖先,忠心輔(fu)佐王(wang)(wang)室,并賜(si)盂命服、車馬、酒與邦(bang)司、人鬲等。盂在(zai)銘(ming)文(wen)中說(shuo)明作此鼎也是為(wei)(wei)了祭祀其祖父南(nan)公(gong)。大盂鼎銘(ming)文(wen)是史(shi)(shi)家研究周代分封(feng)制(zhi)和周王(wang)(wang)與臣(chen)屬關系的重要(yao)史(shi)(shi)料(liao),一向為(wei)(wei)史(shi)(shi)學家所重視。
大(da)盂(yu)鼎造型雄渾,工(gong)藝(yi)精湛。其內(nei)壁鑄有(you)銘文(wen)(wen)19行,為(wei)研究西(xi)周奴隸制度的(de)(de)重(zhong)要史料。大(da)盂(yu)鼎內(nei)壁有(you)銘文(wen)(wen)二百九十一(yi)字(zi),其內(nei)容(rong)為(wei):周王(wang)告誡盂(yu)(人名),殷代以酗(xu)酒(jiu)而(er)亡(wang),周代則忌酒(jiu)而(er)興,命盂(yu)一(yi)定要盡力地輔佐他,敬承文(wen)(wen)王(wang),武王(wang)的(de)(de)德(de)政。其書(shu)法體勢嚴謹,字(zi)形(xing),布局都(dou)十分質樸平實,用(yong)筆方圓兼備,具有(you)端嚴凝重(zhong)的(de)(de)藝(yi)術(shu)效(xiao)果。開《張遷(qian)碑(bei)》、《龍門(men)造像(xiang)》之先(xian)河。以書(shu)法成就而(er)言(yan),大(da)盂(yu)鼎在(zai)成康時代當據首(shou)位,是(shi)西(xi)周早期金文(wen)(wen)書(shu)法的(de)(de)代表作。
大盂鼎(ding)銘(ming)文(wen)雖(sui)屬西周(zhou)早期金文(wen),但書法(fa)體勢嚴謹(jin),結字(zi)、章法(fa)都十分(fen)質(zhi)樸平實,用筆方圓兼備、端(duan)嚴凝重(zhong),雄壯而不失秀美(mei)(mei),布局整(zheng)飭中又見靈動,并達到了十分(fen)精美(mei)(mei)的程度,是西周(zhou)前(qian)期金文(wen)的代(dai)表作,加之(zhi)器形巨大,造型端(duan)莊堂皇、渾厚雄偉,故作品更呈現出一種磅礴氣勢和恢弘(hong)的格(ge)局,從(cong)而為(wei)世人所矚目。
