The oracle bone inscriptionsof Zhouyuan hold significantvalue for historical and palaeographic research.While most characters havealready been explained and defined,this article proposes new interpretationsfor three previously under-studied characters.According to the author's interpretation,the character'()'on the H1 1:28 should be interpreted as'bi(枇)'and read as'pin(玭)',referring to'zhuyu'(珠玉)or pearl and jade,which werecommonly used as sacrificial offerings in ancient China.The character'()'on the Hl 1:41 should be interpretedas'lie'((马)).Additionally,the character'()'on the H1 1:87 is considered to consist of twocomponents,'ding'(鼎)and'yi'(異).Given that'yi'(異)serves as the phonetic component,thischaracter should be read as'yi'((钱)representing a special kind of bronze tripod.
