By synthesizing previous records,this article sheds light on the transmission process of the Zengboqi Fu container during the historical period.Furthermore,the discussion of various casting traces supports the authenticity of this bronze vessel.Stylistic comparisons refine the date of this piece to the transition phase from the Early Stage to the Middle Stage of the Spring and Autumn Period.Comparative analysis of new archaeological discoveries and inscriptions indicates that Zeng Zhongyoufu(曾仲斿父)and Zeng Boqi(曾伯(雬))were not marquises of the Zeng State.Instead,the Sujialong site,where these two elites were buried,was a fief with direct control over copper production and smelting activities.
