According to the inscriptions on Bronze wares in West Zhou Dynasty, we know the history. Some bronze wares are only inscribed on clan names, names of makers or ancestors titles and so on. But some of the bronze wares reflect the cause of wars, the content of crusade and the ceremonial activities. Many things are inscribed on the bronze wares for recording, so names related weapons on inscriptions are plentiful. This paper focusing on weapons like Dun (盾), gan (干), jia (甲), zhou (胄) and so on recorded in inscriptions discusses their names and functions. According to the shape and reorganization and textual criticisms and explanations to grapheme, we classified the weapons and textually research their meanings with the help of new research achievements and the reference of literature and unearthed material.
