來源

Pan were shallow basins used as ritual vessels to hold water. They were used in conjunction with a pouring vessel, he or yi, to form a set of vessels for the washing of hands. They would have been included in the ritual vessel sets used to perform the food and wine offerings to the ancestors. In fact, the same inscription appears on two bronze ding of the same period now in the collection of the Palace Museum, Beijing, illustrated in Wang Wenchang, Qing tong qi bianwei san bai li, Beijing, 2009, vol.1, pp.156-159, no.124. According to the author, the inscription on the second vessel is later added while the inscription on the first vessel is contemporary with the date the vessel was made.
