Yihou Kui Gui is a kind of Gui. Judging from the inscription, it is obviously used as a ritual vessel.

Gui, pronounced "Guǐ", is a vessel used to hold cooked meals in ancient China and is also used as a ritual vessel.

The so-called ritual utensils are the utensils used by ancient Chinese nobles in ceremonial activities such as sacrifices, banquets, conquests, and funerals.

The Yihou Wei Gui was unearthed in Yandun Mountain, Dantu County, Jiangsu Province in June 1954. There is an inscription on the inner bottom of the belly of the vessel with 12 lines and 126 words, recording the title of Yihou by the King of Zhou and the rewards. The items, items and numbers of land and people granted are important materials for understanding the "feudal" system of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
