The Shang Siyang Bronze Square Zun was a bronze ritual vessel and sacrificial item from the late Shang Dynasty. Unearthed in 1938 on the mountainside of Yueshanpu Zhuan'er Lun in Huangcai Town, Ningxiang County, Hunan Province (Tanheli Site), it is now housed in the National Museum of China. The Shang Four Sheep Bronze Square Zun is the largest surviving bronze square Zun from the Shang Dynasty in China, with each side measuring 52.4 centimeters in length, 58.3 centimeters in height, and a weight of 34.5 kilograms. The entire Shang Four Sheep Bronze Square Zun was cast using the block mold method, and it was completed in one go with exquisite craftsmanship, demonstrating a superb level of casting. It is known as the "ultimate bronze model" in the field of history and is listed as one of the top ten national treasures passed down from generation to generation in China.
