青铜鼎（2号）-Bronze Ding (No.2)

青铜鼎，区别于先前发布的青铜鼎，故命名为2号。

鼎，是古代我国一些地方古人用以烹煮肉和盛贮肉类的器具，是古代最重要青铜器物种之一。“鼎”（炊器）被后世认为是所有青铜器中最能代表至高无上权力的器物。
Ding (鼎) are prehistoric and ancient Chinese cauldrons, standing upon legs with a lid and two facing handles. They are one of the most important shapes used in Chinese ritual bronzes. Under the Zhou, the ding and the privilege to perform the associated rituals became symbols of authority. The number of permitted ding varied according to one's rank in the Chinese nobility: the Nine Ding of the Zhou kings were a symbol of their rule over all China.
