The Guoji Zibai pan (simplified Chinese: 虢季子白盘; traditional Chinese: 虢季子白盤; pinyin: Guójì Zǐbaí Pán) is an ancient Chinese bronze rectangular pan vessel from the Western Zhou dynasty (1046 BC–771 BC). Excavated in Chencang District of Baoji, Shaanxi during the Daoguang era (1821–1851) of the Qing dynasty (1644–1911), it is on display in the National Museum of China in Beijing.[1]
The Guoji Zibai pan is the largest known bronze plate in the world. It enjoys the reputation of the best bronzeware of the Western Zhou dynasty (1046 BC–771 BC). The Guoji Zibai pan, the San Family Plate (散氏盤), and the Mao Gong ding, are known as the "Three Important Bronzewares of the Western Zhou dynasty".[2][3]
