大(da)盂(yu)鼎,清道光年(nian)間(公(gong)元1849年(nian))出土于(yu)陜西郿(mei)縣禮(li)村(cun)(cun)(今寶雞(ji)眉縣常(chang)興(xing)鎮楊家(jia)村(cun)(cun)一組,即李家(jia)村(cun)(cun)),出土后便被販(fan)賣(mai)至(zhi)文物(wu)市場(chang)。它是(shi)西周(zhou)早(zao)期青銅禮(li)器中(zhong)的重器,因(yin)作(zuo)器者是(shi)康王時大(da)臣(chen)名(ming)盂(yu)者而(er)得名(ming),與之(zhi)同出的小盂(yu)鼎已佚。
清朝道光時期的(de)岐山(shan)(shan)首富宋(song)金鑒把(ba)銅鼎(ding)(ding)買下(xia),因為器形巨大(da),十分引人矚目,鼎(ding)(ding)很快被岐山(shan)(shan)縣令周庚盛占(zhan)有(you),他(ta)(ta)把(ba)鼎(ding)(ding)轉賣到北京的(de)古董商人。宋(song)金鑒在考中翰林后(hou)(hou)出(chu)價3000兩(liang)白銀又購得(de)了寶鼎(ding)(ding),在他(ta)(ta)去世后(hou)(hou),后(hou)(hou)代以(yi)(yi)700兩(liang)白銀賣給陜甘總督左宗棠的(de)幕僚袁保恒,袁深知(zhi)左宗棠酷(ku)愛文玩,得(de)寶鼎(ding)(ding)后(hou)(hou)不(bu)敢專(zhuan)美(mei),旋即(ji)將大(da)盂鼎(ding)(ding)獻給上(shang)司以(yi)(yi)表(biao)孝心。左宗棠在發跡前曾為湖南(nan)巡(xun)撫(fu)駱秉章(zhang)的(de)幕僚,理湘省全部軍(jun)務。雖(sui)非顯(xian)貴,也(ye)頗得(de)春風。加之自(zi)視極高,恃(shi)才傲物,不(bu)免為人所(suo)陰嫉。
咸豐九年(nian)(公元1859年(nian)),左宗(zong)棠(tang)(tang)被永州總兵樊燮讒(chan)言所(suo)傷(shang),遭朝廷議(yi)罪。幸得時任侍(shi)讀(du)學(xue)士的潘(pan)祖蔭援手,上奏咸豐皇帝力保(bao)宗(zong)棠(tang)(tang),且多方(fang)(fang)打點(dian),上下疏(shu)通,左才(cai)獲脫(tuo)免(mian)。潘(pan)乃當(dang)時著名(ming)的金(jin)石(shi)收藏(zang)大(da)(da)(da)家,左宗(zong)棠(tang)(tang)得大(da)(da)(da)盂(yu)(yu)鼎(ding)后(hou)遂以相贈,以謝當(dang)年(nian)搭救之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)恩。此后(hou),大(da)(da)(da)盂(yu)(yu)鼎(ding)一直(zhi)為(wei)(wei)潘(pan)氏(shi)所(suo)珍藏(zang)。雖然(ran)也時而(er)有人覬覦此鼎(ding),但畢(bi)竟潘(pan)氏(shi)位高權重,足可(ke)保(bao)全大(da)(da)(da)鼎(ding)無虞。至潘(pan)祖蔭故,其弟(di)潘(pan)祖年(nian)將大(da)(da)(da)盂(yu)(yu)鼎(ding)連同(tong)其它珍玩(wan)一起,由水路從北京(jing)運(yun)回蘇州老家。大(da)(da)(da)鼎(ding)作為(wei)(wei)先人故物,睹(du)物思人,彌顯珍貴(gui),堪為(wei)(wei)傳家之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)寶,不(bu)輕示(shi)人。光緒之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)末,金(jin)石(shi)大(da)(da)(da)家端方(fang)(fang)任兩江(jiang)總督。曾一度(du)挖空心(xin)思,想據(ju)大(da)(da)(da)盂(yu)(yu)鼎(ding)為(wei)(wei)己(ji)有。均(jun)為(wei)(wei)祖年(nian)所(suo)拒。但端方(fang)(fang)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)欲始終為(wei)(wei)潘(pan)家所(suo)患。直(zhi)至辛亥(hai)年(nian),革命暴發,端方(fang)(fang)被殺。潘(pan)家和大(da)(da)(da)鼎(ding)才(cai)真(zhen)正(zheng)逃過端方(fang)(fang)之(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)難(nan)。
民(min)國初年,曾(ceng)有美(mei)籍人士專(zhuan)程來華找潘(pan)氏商談求(qiu)讓大(da)鼎,出價達數百兩(liang)黃金之巨。但終為(wei)潘(pan)家(jia)所回絕。三十年代中(zhong)葉,國民(min)黨當(dang)局在蘇州新建一(yi)幢大(da)樓。黨國大(da)員忽發奇想(xiang),要在大(da)樓落成后以紀(ji)念(nian)為(wei)名(ming)辦一(yi)展(zhan)(zhan)覽會,邀潘(pan)家(jia)以大(da)鼎參(can)展(zhan)(zhan)。以圖(tu)無限期占有大(da)鼎。然此拙(zhuo)劣伎倆為(wei)潘(pan)氏識破,婉(wan)言拒絕了參(can)展(zhan)(zhan)。
1937年(nian)(nian)日(ri)軍侵(qin)華(hua)時(shi),蘇州很(hen)快淪陷。國(guo)(guo)將不國(guo)(guo),人(ren)命難保(bao)。此時(shi),潘(pan)祖(zu)(zu)年(nian)(nian)已(yi)作古(gu)。潘(pan)家(jia)(jia)無當戶之人(ren),皆婦孺。英雄出少年(nian)(nian),當此危難之時(shi),潘(pan)祖(zu)(zu)蔭的(de)(de)侄孫(sun)潘(pan)承厚、潘(pan)景鄭等商(shang)定(ding)將大(da)鼎及(ji)全(quan)部珍(zhen)玩(wan)入土保(bao)全(quan)。經(jing)反(fan)復(fu)遴選,決定(ding)將寶物(wu)藏于(yu)二進院(yuan)落的(de)(de)堂屋。這是一(yi)間久無人(ren)居(ju)的(de)(de)閑房(fang),積塵很(hen)厚,不會引人(ren)注目。主意已(yi)定(ding),潘(pan)家(jia)(jia)人(ren)苦干(gan)兩天(tian)兩夜(ye)才將全(quan)部寶物(wu)入藏地下。又將室(shi)內恢復(fu)成(cheng)原樣。整個過程除潘(pan)家(jia)(jia)人(ren)以外另(ling)有兩個傭工和(he)一(yi)個看(kan)門人(ren)參與其(qi)中,均被(bei)反(fan)復(fu)叮(ding)囑要嚴守秘密。此后(hou)不久,潘(pan)氏全(quan)家(jia)(jia)即往上(shang)海避(bi)亂。潘(pan)宅一(yi)時(shi)竟成(cheng)了(le)日(ri)軍搜查的(de)(de)重點。經(jing)過反(fan)復(fu)的(de)(de)搜查并(bing)挖地三(san)尺(chi)均無所見,日(ri)軍也只得(de)作罷(ba)。日(ri)軍占領(ling)期間,潘(pan)家(jia)(jia)的(de)(de)看(kan)門人(ren)曾幾次盜掘了(le)若干(gan)小(xiao)件的(de)(de)珍(zhen)藏,賣給洪姓古(gu)董商(shang)人(ren)。但大(da)鼎過于(yu)沉(chen)重,無法搬動(dong),得(de)以幸免。
光陰荏苒,在(zai)歷經十余年戰亂之(zhi)后,中國解放(fang)了。潘(pan)家(jia)后人(ren)見人(ren)民政府極(ji)為(wei)重視對文物的(de)(de)保護,認(ren)為(wei)只有這樣(yang)的(de)(de)政府才可托付先人(ren)的(de)(de)珍藏。全家(jia)商議后,由潘(pan)祖蔭的(de)(de)孫(sun)媳(xi)潘(pan)達(da)于執筆,于1951年7月(yue)(yue)(yue)6日(ri)寫信給(gei)華東(dong)文化部(bu)(bu),希望將(jiang)(jiang)大盂鼎(ding)(ding)和大克鼎(ding)(ding)捐獻給(gei)國家(jia)。同時也希望將(jiang)(jiang)兩件大鼎(ding)(ding)放(fang)在(zai)上海博物館展出。7月(yue)(yue)(yue)26日(ri),文管會派專(zhuan)員在(zai)潘(pan)家(jia)后人(ren)的(de)(de)陪同下赴蘇州,大鼎(ding)(ding)得以(yi)重見天日(ri)。為(wei)表(biao)彰潘(pan)達(da)于的(de)(de)獻寶壯舉,華東(dong)文化部(bu)(bu)于10月(yue)(yue)(yue)9日(ri)舉行了隆重的(de)(de)頒(ban)獎儀式(shi)。
1952年上(shang)海(hai)博(bo)物館(guan)落成(cheng),大盂鼎藏入此館(guan)。1959年,北京中(zhong)國歷史博(bo)物館(guan)(現中(zhong)國國家博(bo)物館(guan))開館(guan),上(shang)博(bo)以(yi)大盂鼎等(deng)125件(jian)館(guan)藏珍品支援。從(cong)此大盂鼎入藏中(zhong)國國家博(bo)物館(guan)。

銘文中(zhong),周(zhou)(zhou)康(kang)王向盂(yu)(yu)講(jiang)述文王、武王的立(li)國經驗(yan),告(gao)(gao)誡盂(yu)(yu)要(yao)效(xiao)法其祖先(xian),忠心輔佐王室,并賞賜(si)盂(yu)(yu)鬯、命(ming)(ming)服、車馬、邦司、人(ren)鬲、庶(shu)人(ren)等(deng)。銘文中(zhong)語句“丕顯文王受(shou)天(tian)有大命(ming)(ming)”體(ti)現了周(zhou)(zhou)人(ren)的天(tian)命(ming)(ming)觀,而另(ling)一語句“我聞殷(yin)墜命(ming)(ming),唯殷(yin)邊侯甸與殷(yin)正百辟,率肆于(yu)酒(jiu)(jiu),故喪師矣”,則是周(zhou)(zhou)康(kang)王告(gao)(gao)誡盂(yu)(yu),商內、外臣(chen)僚沉湎于(yu)酒(jiu)(jiu),以(yi)致于(yu)亡國,透(tou)露出周(zhou)(zhou)人(ren)對于(yu)商人(ren)嗜酒(jiu)(jiu)誤國這一前車之(zhi)鑒的警示。
銘文(wen)中“有”、“厥”、“又”等字波磔分明,得于用筆(bi)過程中自覺(jue)的提(ti)、按意識(shi)。通篇文(wen)字布局規整(zheng),書(shu)風凝(ning)重。
銘文的(de)內容大致(zhi)可分(fen)為三段:
第一(yi)部分用較(jiao)多(duo)文字說明(ming)商(shang)人縱(zong)酒是周(zhou)興起和商(shang)滅亡的原因,贊揚了周(zhou)代(dai)文武(wu)二(er)王(wang)的盛德。表示康王(wang)(武(wu)王(wang)的孫(sun)子)自己要(yao)以文王(wang)為典范,告誡盂也(ye)要(yao)以祖父南公(gong)作(zuo)榜樣。
第二部分主要是康王命盂(yu)幫(bang)助(zhu)他掌管軍事和統治(zhi)人民,并且(qie)賞賜給盂(yu)香酒(jiu)、禮(li)服(fu)、車(che)馬、儀仗和奴(nu)隸(li)1726個(ge),并叮囑盂(yu)要恭敬辦政(zheng),莫違王命。
第三部分說(shuo)明(ming)盂作此寶鼎以祭祀其(qi)祖(zu)父南公(gong) 。
銘文載康(kang)王(wang)(wang)(wang)向盂(yu)(yu)敘述周文王(wang)(wang)(wang)、周武王(wang)(wang)(wang)的(de)立國(guo)經驗。認為文王(wang)(wang)(wang)、武王(wang)(wang)(wang)得以卓越(yue)的(de)業(ye)績立國(guo),主要是(shi)由(you)于其臣屬從不酗(xu)酒,每(mei)逢祭(ji)祀,認真(zhen)、恭敬,而商(shang)王(wang)(wang)(wang)的(de)亡(wang)國(guo)教訓(xun)就(jiu)在(zai)于沉迷于酒。由(you)此告誡(jie)盂(yu)(yu)要效(xiao)法祖先,忠心輔佐(zuo)王(wang)(wang)(wang)室,并賜盂(yu)(yu)命服、車馬、酒與(yu)邦司、人鬲等(deng)。盂(yu)(yu)在(zai)銘文中(zhong)說明作(zuo)此鼎也是(shi)為了祭(ji)祀其祖父南公。大盂(yu)(yu)鼎銘文是(shi)史(shi)家(jia)(jia)研究(jiu)周代分封制和周王(wang)(wang)(wang)與(yu)臣屬關系的(de)重(zhong)要史(shi)料(liao),一(yi)向為史(shi)學家(jia)(jia)所重(zhong)視(shi)。
大盂鼎造(zao)(zao)型雄渾,工(gong)藝精(jing)湛。其內(nei)(nei)壁鑄有(you)(you)銘文19行(xing),為(wei)研究西周奴隸(li)制度(du)的(de)重(zhong)要史料。大盂鼎內(nei)(nei)壁有(you)(you)銘文二百九十(shi)一字,其內(nei)(nei)容為(wei):周王告誡盂(人名),殷代(dai)以酗酒(jiu)而亡,周代(dai)則忌酒(jiu)而興,命盂一定要盡(jin)力地(di)輔(fu)佐(zuo)他,敬承文王,武王的(de)德政。其書(shu)法(fa)體勢嚴謹,字形(xing),布局(ju)都十(shi)分質樸平實,用筆方圓兼備,具有(you)(you)端嚴凝(ning)重(zhong)的(de)藝術效果。開《張(zhang)遷碑》、《龍門造(zao)(zao)像》之(zhi)先(xian)河。以書(shu)法(fa)成就而言,大盂鼎在成康時代(dai)當據首位,是西周早(zao)期金(jin)文書(shu)法(fa)的(de)代(dai)表作。
大(da)盂鼎銘文(wen)雖屬(shu)西周早期(qi)金(jin)文(wen),但書法(fa)體勢(shi)(shi)嚴謹,結(jie)字、章法(fa)都十分質樸平實,用筆方(fang)圓兼備、端(duan)嚴凝(ning)重,雄壯(zhuang)而不失秀美,布局整飭中又見靈動(dong),并達到了十分精(jing)美的程度,是西周前期(qi)金(jin)文(wen)的代表(biao)作,加之(zhi)器形巨(ju)大(da),造(zao)型(xing)端(duan)莊堂皇、渾厚雄偉,故作品更呈現出(chu)一(yi)種(zhong)磅礴氣勢(shi)(shi)和恢弘的格局,從而為(wei)世人所矚目。
