The Interpretation of the Bronze Duke Sui Xu

The Duke Sui xu is a very precious bronze vessel. The lid is missing, and the vessel body is 11.8 cm in height and 24.8 cm in length. When I first saw it, the belly and the feet were covered mostly with soil rust, with some visible marks left by a supposed wrapping mat. Many parts of the inscription on the inner bottom were blanketed by metal rust.
