On the Bronzes from the No. 3 Mound at Jiuniidun in Pizhou

The bronzes from Mound No. 3 at Jiunuudun contain elements of many cultures. In type, for example, there are the ding tripod with an inverted-dish-shaped cover, the swing-chained pot and the covered dou stemmed vessel commonly seen on contemporaneous vestiges in the Central Plains and the Qi and Lu states. On the other hand, among the finds are the Tang ding, zun vase, dragon-head-shaped he tripod and fou pot characteristic of contemporaneous tombs of the Wu and Yue states.Another type of bronze object is the animal-head ding previously yielded mainly from the territory of ancient Shu ethnic group. Moreover, there is a batch of bronzes typical of the Xu State, such as the chime-bells decorated with winged-animal-shaped scrolls, ear-less leg-less washing basin, incense burner tray with the base on a post-shaped ring-foot. In decorative style, one can see elements of the Rong and Di cultures. Evidently the bronze culture of the Xu State in the late Spring and Autumn period possessed rich cultural connotations.
