大(da)盂鼎,清道光年間(公(gong)元1849年)出(chu)(chu)土于陜西郿縣禮村(今寶雞眉縣常興(xing)鎮(zhen)楊家村一(yi)組,即李(li)家村),出(chu)(chu)土后便被販賣至文物(wu)市場。它是(shi)(shi)西周早期青銅禮器(qi)中的(de)重器(qi),因作器(qi)者是(shi)(shi)康王時(shi)大(da)臣名盂者而得(de)名,與(yu)之同(tong)出(chu)(chu)的(de)小盂鼎已佚(yi)。
清朝道光時期(qi)的(de)岐山首富(fu)宋金(jin)鑒把銅鼎買下,因為器形巨大,十(shi)分引人(ren)矚目,鼎很(hen)快(kuai)被(bei)岐山縣令周庚盛(sheng)占有,他(ta)把鼎轉賣到北京的(de)古董(dong)商人(ren)。宋金(jin)鑒在考中翰林后(hou)出價3000兩白銀又購(gou)得(de)了(le)寶鼎,在他(ta)去世后(hou),后(hou)代以700兩白銀賣給陜(shan)甘總督左宗(zong)棠的(de)幕僚(liao)(liao)袁保恒(heng),袁深知左宗(zong)棠酷愛(ai)文玩(wan),得(de)寶鼎后(hou)不敢專美,旋即將大盂鼎獻給上司以表(biao)孝心。左宗(zong)棠在發跡(ji)前曾為湖南巡(xun)撫駱秉(bing)章的(de)幕僚(liao)(liao),理湘(xiang)省全(quan)部(bu)軍務。雖非顯貴(gui),也頗得(de)春(chun)風。加(jia)之自視極高(gao),恃才傲物,不免為人(ren)所陰嫉。
咸(xian)豐九年(nian)(公(gong)元1859年(nian)),左宗(zong)(zong)棠被永州總兵樊(fan)燮讒言(yan)所(suo)傷(shang),遭朝廷議(yi)罪。幸得(de)時(shi)任侍讀學士的潘(pan)(pan)(pan)(pan)祖蔭(yin)援(yuan)手,上(shang)奏咸(xian)豐皇(huang)帝力保宗(zong)(zong)棠,且多方(fang)(fang)(fang)打點,上(shang)下(xia)疏通,左才獲(huo)脫免。潘(pan)(pan)(pan)(pan)乃當(dang)時(shi)著名的金石收藏大(da)(da)家(jia)(jia)(jia),左宗(zong)(zong)棠得(de)大(da)(da)盂鼎(ding)后(hou)遂以相贈,以謝當(dang)年(nian)搭救之(zhi)恩。此(ci)后(hou),大(da)(da)盂鼎(ding)一直為(wei)潘(pan)(pan)(pan)(pan)氏所(suo)珍(zhen)藏。雖然(ran)也時(shi)而有人(ren)覬覦此(ci)鼎(ding),但畢(bi)竟潘(pan)(pan)(pan)(pan)氏位高(gao)權重,足(zu)可保全(quan)大(da)(da)鼎(ding)無虞(yu)。至(zhi)潘(pan)(pan)(pan)(pan)祖蔭(yin)故,其(qi)(qi)弟潘(pan)(pan)(pan)(pan)祖年(nian)將大(da)(da)盂鼎(ding)連同其(qi)(qi)它珍(zhen)玩一起,由水(shui)路(lu)從北京運回蘇州老家(jia)(jia)(jia)。大(da)(da)鼎(ding)作(zuo)為(wei)先(xian)人(ren)故物,睹物思人(ren),彌顯珍(zhen)貴,堪(kan)為(wei)傳(chuan)家(jia)(jia)(jia)之(zhi)寶,不輕示人(ren)。光(guang)緒之(zhi)末,金石大(da)(da)家(jia)(jia)(jia)端方(fang)(fang)(fang)任兩江總督。曾一度挖空心思,想據大(da)(da)盂鼎(ding)為(wei)己有。均為(wei)祖年(nian)所(suo)拒(ju)。但端方(fang)(fang)(fang)之(zhi)欲始終為(wei)潘(pan)(pan)(pan)(pan)家(jia)(jia)(jia)所(suo)患。直至(zhi)辛(xin)亥年(nian),革命暴發,端方(fang)(fang)(fang)被殺。潘(pan)(pan)(pan)(pan)家(jia)(jia)(jia)和大(da)(da)鼎(ding)才真正逃過端方(fang)(fang)(fang)之(zhi)難。
民國(guo)(guo)(guo)初年(nian),曾(ceng)有(you)美籍人士專程(cheng)來華找潘(pan)氏商談(tan)求讓大鼎,出價達數百兩黃金之巨。但終為(wei)潘(pan)家(jia)所回絕(jue)。三十(shi)年(nian)代中葉,國(guo)(guo)(guo)民黨當局在(zai)(zai)蘇州(zhou)新建一幢大樓。黨國(guo)(guo)(guo)大員忽(hu)發奇想,要在(zai)(zai)大樓落成后以紀念為(wei)名辦一展覽會,邀潘(pan)家(jia)以大鼎參展。以圖(tu)無限(xian)期占有(you)大鼎。然此拙(zhuo)劣伎倆為(wei)潘(pan)氏識破,婉言拒絕(jue)了(le)參展。
1937年日(ri)軍侵(qin)華時,蘇州很快淪陷。國(guo)將(jiang)不(bu)國(guo),人(ren)(ren)命難保。此(ci)時,潘(pan)(pan)(pan)祖年已作(zuo)古(gu)。潘(pan)(pan)(pan)家(jia)無當(dang)戶之人(ren)(ren),皆婦(fu)孺。英(ying)雄(xiong)出少年,當(dang)此(ci)危難之時,潘(pan)(pan)(pan)祖蔭的(de)(de)(de)侄孫(sun)潘(pan)(pan)(pan)承(cheng)厚、潘(pan)(pan)(pan)景鄭(zheng)等商定(ding)將(jiang)大鼎及全部(bu)珍(zhen)玩入(ru)土保全。經反(fan)復遴選,決定(ding)將(jiang)寶物藏于(yu)二(er)進院(yuan)落的(de)(de)(de)堂屋。這是一(yi)間(jian)久無人(ren)(ren)居(ju)的(de)(de)(de)閑房,積塵很厚,不(bu)會(hui)引(yin)人(ren)(ren)注目。主意已定(ding),潘(pan)(pan)(pan)家(jia)人(ren)(ren)苦干(gan)兩天兩夜才將(jiang)全部(bu)寶物入(ru)藏地下。又將(jiang)室內(nei)恢復成(cheng)原(yuan)樣。整(zheng)個過(guo)程除(chu)潘(pan)(pan)(pan)家(jia)人(ren)(ren)以外另(ling)有兩個傭工和(he)一(yi)個看門(men)人(ren)(ren)參(can)與其中(zhong),均被反(fan)復叮囑(zhu)要嚴守秘密。此(ci)后不(bu)久,潘(pan)(pan)(pan)氏(shi)全家(jia)即往(wang)上海避亂。潘(pan)(pan)(pan)宅(zhai)一(yi)時竟成(cheng)了日(ri)軍搜(sou)查的(de)(de)(de)重點(dian)。經過(guo)反(fan)復的(de)(de)(de)搜(sou)查并挖地三尺(chi)均無所見(jian),日(ri)軍也(ye)只(zhi)得作(zuo)罷。日(ri)軍占領期間(jian),潘(pan)(pan)(pan)家(jia)的(de)(de)(de)看門(men)人(ren)(ren)曾幾次盜掘了若(ruo)干(gan)小件的(de)(de)(de)珍(zhen)藏,賣給洪姓(xing)古(gu)董商人(ren)(ren)。但大鼎過(guo)于(yu)沉重,無法搬動,得以幸免。
光陰(yin)荏苒,在(zai)(zai)歷經十(shi)余(yu)年(nian)戰亂之后(hou),中國解放了。潘家(jia)后(hou)人(ren)見人(ren)民政府(fu)極(ji)為重視對(dui)文物的(de)保護,認為只(zhi)有這樣的(de)政府(fu)才可托付先(xian)人(ren)的(de)珍(zhen)藏(zang)。全家(jia)商(shang)議后(hou),由(you)潘祖蔭的(de)孫(sun)媳潘達于(yu)(yu)(yu)執筆,于(yu)(yu)(yu)1951年(nian)7月(yue)6日寫信給華(hua)東(dong)(dong)文化部,希(xi)望將大(da)盂(yu)鼎和大(da)克鼎捐(juan)獻(xian)給國家(jia)。同時也希(xi)望將兩件大(da)鼎放在(zai)(zai)上(shang)海博物館展出。7月(yue)26日,文管(guan)會派專員在(zai)(zai)潘家(jia)后(hou)人(ren)的(de)陪同下赴蘇(su)州,大(da)鼎得以重見天日。為表(biao)彰潘達于(yu)(yu)(yu)的(de)獻(xian)寶壯舉,華(hua)東(dong)(dong)文化部于(yu)(yu)(yu)10月(yue)9日舉行(xing)了隆重的(de)頒獎儀式。
1952年上(shang)海博(bo)物(wu)館(guan)(guan)落(luo)成(cheng),大(da)盂(yu)(yu)鼎藏入此館(guan)(guan)。1959年,北京中國歷史博(bo)物(wu)館(guan)(guan)(現中國國家博(bo)物(wu)館(guan)(guan))開館(guan)(guan),上(shang)博(bo)以大(da)盂(yu)(yu)鼎等125件館(guan)(guan)藏珍(zhen)品支援。從此大(da)盂(yu)(yu)鼎入藏中國國家博(bo)物(wu)館(guan)(guan)。

銘文中,周(zhou)康王向盂(yu)講(jiang)述文王、武王的立國經驗,告(gao)(gao)誡(jie)盂(yu)要效法其祖(zu)先,忠(zhong)心輔(fu)佐王室,并賞賜盂(yu)鬯、命服、車馬、邦司、人(ren)鬲(li)、庶人(ren)等。銘文中語(yu)句(ju)“丕顯文王受(shou)天有大命”體現了(le)周(zhou)人(ren)的天命觀(guan),而另一語(yu)句(ju)“我聞殷墜命,唯(wei)殷邊侯(hou)甸與(yu)殷正百辟,率肆于酒,故喪師(shi)矣”,則是周(zhou)康王告(gao)(gao)誡(jie)盂(yu),商(shang)內、外臣僚(liao)沉湎于酒,以致(zhi)于亡國,透露出周(zhou)人(ren)對于商(shang)人(ren)嗜酒誤國這一前車之鑒(jian)的警(jing)示。
銘文中(zhong)“有”、“厥(jue)”、“又”等字(zi)波磔分明(ming),得于用筆過程中(zhong)自覺的提(ti)、按意(yi)識。通篇文字(zi)布局規整(zheng),書風(feng)凝重。
銘文(wen)的內(nei)容大致可分為三段(duan):
第一部分用較(jiao)多文字說明商人縱(zong)酒是周興起(qi)和商滅亡(wang)的(de)原因,贊揚了周代文武(wu)二王的(de)盛德。表示康王(武(wu)王的(de)孫子)自己要以文王為典范,告誡盂也要以祖父南公作榜樣。
第二部分主要(yao)是康王命(ming)盂(yu)幫助他(ta)掌管軍事(shi)和(he)統治人民,并(bing)(bing)且(qie)賞賜(si)給(gei)盂(yu)香酒(jiu)、禮服、車馬、儀仗(zhang)和(he)奴隸1726個,并(bing)(bing)叮(ding)囑盂(yu)要(yao)恭(gong)敬辦(ban)政,莫違(wei)王命(ming)。
第三(san)部分說明盂作此(ci)寶鼎以祭祀其(qi)祖(zu)父南公 。
銘(ming)文(wen)載康王(wang)(wang)向盂(yu)敘述周(zhou)文(wen)王(wang)(wang)、周(zhou)武(wu)王(wang)(wang)的(de)立國經驗。認為文(wen)王(wang)(wang)、武(wu)王(wang)(wang)得(de)以(yi)卓越的(de)業(ye)績立國,主要(yao)(yao)是由于(yu)(yu)其(qi)臣屬(shu)從不酗酒,每逢祭(ji)祀,認真、恭敬,而商王(wang)(wang)的(de)亡國教(jiao)訓(xun)就在(zai)于(yu)(yu)沉迷(mi)于(yu)(yu)酒。由此告誡盂(yu)要(yao)(yao)效法祖(zu)先,忠(zhong)心輔佐王(wang)(wang)室,并賜(si)盂(yu)命服、車馬、酒與邦(bang)司、人(ren)鬲等。盂(yu)在(zai)銘(ming)文(wen)中說(shuo)明(ming)作此鼎也是為了祭(ji)祀其(qi)祖(zu)父南公。大盂(yu)鼎銘(ming)文(wen)是史(shi)家研究(jiu)周(zhou)代分封制和周(zhou)王(wang)(wang)與臣屬(shu)關(guan)系的(de)重要(yao)(yao)史(shi)料,一向為史(shi)學家所重視。
大盂(yu)鼎(ding)造(zao)(zao)型雄渾,工(gong)藝(yi)精湛。其內壁鑄有銘文19行(xing),為研究(jiu)西周(zhou)奴隸制度的重要史料。大盂(yu)鼎(ding)內壁有銘文二百九十(shi)一(yi)字(zi),其內容為:周(zhou)王告(gao)誡盂(yu)(人名),殷代(dai)(dai)以酗酒而亡,周(zhou)代(dai)(dai)則(ze)忌酒而興,命盂(yu)一(yi)定要盡(jin)力地輔佐他,敬(jing)承文王,武王的德(de)政。其書(shu)法(fa)體(ti)勢嚴謹,字(zi)形(xing),布局都十(shi)分質樸平實(shi),用筆方圓兼備,具有端嚴凝重的藝(yi)術(shu)效果。開《張遷(qian)碑(bei)》、《龍門造(zao)(zao)像》之先河。以書(shu)法(fa)成就而言,大盂(yu)鼎(ding)在成康時代(dai)(dai)當據首位,是西周(zhou)早期金文書(shu)法(fa)的代(dai)(dai)表作。
大(da)盂鼎銘文(wen)雖屬西周早期金文(wen),但書法體勢(shi)嚴謹,結(jie)字、章(zhang)法都十(shi)分(fen)質樸平實,用筆方圓兼(jian)備、端嚴凝重,雄壯而(er)不失秀(xiu)美,布(bu)局整飭中又見靈動,并達到(dao)了十(shi)分(fen)精(jing)美的程(cheng)度,是西周前期金文(wen)的代表作,加之(zhi)器形巨大(da),造型端莊堂皇、渾(hun)厚(hou)雄偉,故作品更(geng)呈現出一種磅礴氣勢(shi)和恢弘的格局,從而(er)為世人所矚目。
