Chapter 1210 Jiuding
Exhibitions at Chihuly Garden of Glass are divided into indoor and outdoor areas.

Most of the indoor exhibits are Chihuly's popular works over the years. The colorful glass products and indoor lighting seem to be given fresh vitality.

The outdoor area is dominated by a huge glass exhibition hall, which displays a 100-foot-long suspended sculpture composed of 1400 pieces of glass. It changes with the changes of natural light and is breathtakingly beautiful.

The Seattle Pier District is located on Alaska Road, from 52nd to 70th Street.

It is home to a bustling collection of cultural attractions, restaurants and shopping malls, and is home to busy ferries, cruise ships and cruise ships.

It is definitely a very pleasant thing to take a leisurely stroll beside the fountain in Pier Park and eat some local specialties "crab cracking".

Departing from Pier 55, you can take the Oggsey Cruise to experience a one-hour bay trip. It will circle around Elliott Bay, accompanied by the cool sea breeze, and see the high-rise buildings in the city from the sea. The Space Needle is also home to the Seattle Mariners, which has a unique flavor.

Two weeks later, Ye Feng and Li Ruoyun’s honeymoon trip to Seattle ended.

After returning to Yanjing, Ye Feng used the imperial concubine's money to set up a small Feng Shui bureau in Li Ruoyun's office.

In the following days, Li Ruoyun devoted himself to busy work, while Ye Feng, in addition to sitting in the medical clinic, practiced in the Seven Star Sword Sect.

Ye Feng knew very well that his peaceful life would not last long, and the werewolves and the Xiangshan family would inevitably launch crazy revenge on him.

At noon that day, Ye Fenggang and Tian Tian finished their consultation together, and Huo Meigui came to the hospital.

In the reception room of the medical center, after Wu Ying served tea and left, Huo Meigui looked at Ye Feng and asked directly: "Ye Feng, have you heard of Jiuding?"

"Of course I've heard of it." Ye Feng nodded.

After the establishment of the Xia Dynasty, Kyushu was stable, the world was at peace, taxes were established, and all countries obeyed.

The people have nine years of savings, the country has 30 years of savings, and both the court and the people are getting richer and richer.

During the period of Xia Yu, Shi An asked for instructions: "Now the gold tribute from Jiuzhou accumulates year by year, what is its use?".

Xia Yu remembered that in the past, the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan's family successfully cast a tripod and the tripod became an immortal. Why not use this much gold to build a tripod now?

Then I thought: "No, if that's the case, I'll be blamed by the princes again."

Then I thought again: "I can work around it, so why do I have to learn from my predecessors? I am not necessarily building a tripod to show my merit, but to use it for the common people. What's wrong with it?"

So he made up his mind and said, "I want you to use it to cast nine tripods. The gold contributed by each state will be used to cast the tripod of that state, and the mountains and rivers in that state will be cast on it."

"There are also all kinds of strange birds and beasts, gods, demons, monsters, etc. that I encountered when controlling water in the past. They are also shown moment by moment. As for the image, I and Boyi have sketched it out, and now they are cast on the tripod together. "

"After the tripod is completed in the future, we will try to develop the images and show them to the people of Kyushu so that they will know which animals are beneficial and which are harmful."

"Lest they go to work in the mountains, forests and rivers and lakes, and encounter bad things without knowing it. They are harmed by monsters and monsters without knowing what is going on. They are ignorant and do not know the benefits and harms. Isn't this the case? It is also a useful thing for the people."

Shi An said: "Then, these nine tripods are extraordinary."

Xia Yu said: "It needs to be important. The more important it is, the less likely it is to be moved. Only in this way can it be preserved for a long time."

Shi An said: "Where can such a big project be built? Is it within the capital or outside the capital?"

Xia Yu said: "Outside the capital, choose a place with beautiful mountains and rivers and where the people have casting skills. You can choose a suitable place yourself."

Shi An took the order and went to Boyi to pick up the "Book of Mountains and Seas", then went to choose a place to operate it and copied it carefully.

A few months later, it was already the fifth year of Xia Yu's reign. Xia Yu inherited the rule of Emperor Shun and set the patrol period every five years.

This year is the period of patrolling, starting in the second half of the first month.Xia Yu remembered that Shi An made the tripod and chose a place under Jingshan Mountain, so he made a special detour to inspect it.

Xia Yu and his party were still far away from Jingshan Mountain, and they saw many master craftsmen busy there, drawing, making embryos, tempering, designing, very busy.

Xia Yu said to Shi An: "I heard that metals are also divided into male and female. You'd better choose male gold to cast five yang tripods; choose female gold to cast four yin tripods. The five corresponding yang methods and the four images Yin number, this is perfect."

"As for which state among the nine states belongs to Yang and which state belongs to Yin, it is up to you to study it carefully and distribute it reasonably. I will no longer stay away from it."

Shi An listened and Wei Wei accepted the order.

Two years later, a strange phenomenon was suddenly discovered in the sky: for nine consecutive days, the Taibai Star could be seen shining in the sky in broad daylight.

The ministers in the Manchu Dynasty discussed it one after another, and they couldn't guess whether it was a blessing or a curse. Suddenly Shi An came to report: "The Jiuding was cast successfully."

Xia Yu was overjoyed. Knowing that Taibai Zhoujian had this reason, he ordered the nine tripods to be moved to Xiayi.

Only then did people understand that the appearance of the sun turned out to be a sign that Jiuding was cast.

Jiuding refers to Jizhou Ding, Yanzhou Ding, Qingzhou Ding, Xuzhou Ding, Yuzhou Ding, Jingzhou Ding, Yuzhou Ding, Liangzhou Ding and Yongzhou Ding.

The tripod is cast with famous mountains and rivers, rare birds and animals from various states.

Jiuding symbolizes Kyushu, among which Yuzhou Ding is the central tripod, and Yuzhou is the central hub.

Jiuding was concentrated in Yangcheng, the capital of the Xia Dynasty, to show that King Yu of Xia became the lord of Kyushu, and the world was unified from then on.

Jiuding then became the seat of the "mandate of destiny" and a symbol of the supremacy of royal power and the unity and prosperity of the country.

Dayu called the Jiuding the treasure of the country. When princes from all over the world came to see him, they had to pay homage to the Jiuding.

Since then, Jiuding has become the most important ritual vessel in the country.

Jiuding is very important. It was not easy to move from Jingshan to Xiayi, the capital. It took tens of thousands of people three to four months to move there.

Xia Yu saw that there were five Yang tripods and four Yin tripods, and the books on them were all very exquisite, so he comforted and rewarded Shi An and his craftsmen one by one.

Later, the Xia capital was moved several times, and Jiuding was also moved around accordingly.

After the Jiuding became a symbol of national power, anyone who wanted to ask the size and weight of the Jiuding would know that he wanted to seize the throne of emperor.

After the Xia Dynasty was destroyed by the Shang Dynasty, the nine tripods were moved to Haoyi, the capital of the Shang Dynasty.

After the Shang Dynasty was destroyed by the Zhou Dynasty, Jiuding moved to Haojing, the capital of the Zhou Dynasty.

Later, King Cheng built a new capital in Luoyang, and first placed Jiuding in Jiahuo, which was called "Dingding".

Until the end of the Warring States Period, the Zhou Dynasty was attacked by King Qin Zhaoxiang, the great-grandfather of Qin Shihuang, who took Jiuding and moved it to Qin.

During the relocation, a tripod suddenly "flyed" into Surabaya. Many people were sent to search for it for a long time, but no trace of the tripod could be found.

After the Qin Dynasty destroyed the other eight tripods, it is impossible to find out what happened.

Its whereabouts are still unknown and it has become an eternal mystery.
