The Muswuding, also known as the stepmother Wu Da Fang Ding and Wu Fangding, is a priceless bronze relic of Shang Dynasty, and its function is mainly used for offering sacrifices.
Simu Wuding was unearthed in 1939 and has been in the National Museum since 1959. This giant weighs 832.84 kilograms and its ears are 133 cm high.
According to research, the stepmother Wu Ding was cast by Fan Taofa. Wu Ding, the stepmother, needed at least 1 000 kg of raw materials after casting in the late Shang Dynasty, and it had to be completed with the close cooperation of about 200 to 300 craftsmen. The production level was top-notch at that time, which almost represented the peak technology of the whole Shang and Zhou Dynasties.
Simu Wuding is the largest and heaviest bronze ritual vessel unearthed in the world so far, enjoying the reputation of "the treasure of the town and the country". Now it is a national first-class cultural relic, and it was listed in the List of Cultural Relics Prohibited from Going Abroad in 2002.

Guan Feng, the filial piety queen, is an extremely luxurious cultural relic, which is full of jewels from top to bottom. It has four phoenixes in Kowloon, a green cover and drooping beads, and it is covered with all kinds of precious stones, jadeites and pearls. The craft is also extremely complicated, and the cruel kingfisher fingering technology is used on it, with two jewelry tassels on the left and right.
The back of the crown is decorated with six "Bo Dian" made of pearls and precious stones, which are separated from each other in a fan shape. This crown is listed as the first batch of cultural relics prohibited from going abroad!
The phoenix crown of Filial Piety Queen is the phoenix crown of Filial Piety Queen (the beloved princess of Wanli Emperor) in Ming Shenzong in Ming Dynasty, which was excavated by the archaeological team near the Ming Tombs at 1956. At that time, all the team members were shocked when cleaning up this cultural relic, and they immediately reported to their superiors.
The third piece: painted storks, stone axes and pottery pots (rare painting treasures)
