This article takes the four handed down Chu Gong Jia bells and the Chu Gong Jia bell unearthed in Zhouyuan as the research objects, and combines the existing research results to conduct a comparative study of the two from the perspective of inscription glyphs, word relationships, style, and decorative patterns. It is pointed out that the inscriptions, style, and word relationships of Chu Gong Jia bells in the late western Zhou dynasty all show the regional characteristics of the Chu characters. The inscriptions, style, and relationship between words of the Chu Gong Jia bell unearthed in the Zhou dynasty also reflect the regional characteristics of the western Zhou dynasty. This article also conducts a comparative study of the bird patterns on the bells of the western Zhou dynasty, and points out that the bird patterns on the Chu Gong Jia bell unearthed in Zhouyuan are not common in the southern region during the western Zhou dynasty, but are more closely related to the Baoji Phoenix bird pattern with a fleshy crown common in the Baoji region during the western Zhou dynasty. Its stiff demeanor and forked upturned tail may be due to improper imitation of southern bird patterns. The regional characteristics and bird pattern on the right drum of the Chu Gong Jia bell inscription unearthed in Zhouyuan indicate that its origin or locality is in Zhouyuan. The research in this article has a promoting effect on the understanding of the regional characteristics of bronze inscriptions in the western Zhou dynasty, and is beneficial for us to further understand the early Chu characters and Chu culture. The conclusions of this study can provide some reference for the formation and development of the character system in the Zhou dynasty and the study of the casting and circulation patterns of bronze.

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.

In order to make up vacancy of words frequency on ancient bronze objects in Western Zhou Dynasty in diachronic development perspective, we sorting out some conclusions through the exhaustive statistical development data of words frequency diachronically. We found two ends concentration of word frequency in bronze inscription from the early to late in the Western Zhou Dynasty have decreased significantly, which reflects ideographic writing system increasingly mature trend; we also found the word frequency variation is keeping pace with the time trend. In other words, disappearance of those old words is the acceleration and appearance of new words has a trend for reducing the speed. We conclude that focus of inscriptions discourse topic did not change through each period distinctive word frequency semantic category research. Changes and development of language content is mainly caused by "social appellations", which always dominant semantic units’ substitutions and changes.

Scientific sampling principle to determine the material scope, complete Western zhou Dynasty Bronze script inscriptions and writing with the word heterogeneous quantitative analysis. Yin-Shang Dynasty Oracle bone script to avoid repetition of words for reference, reveal Western zhou Bronze script’s writing to avoid repetition feature: writing to avoid repetition means diversification, character element block surface changes become new heterogeneous manner, to avoid repetition frequency of keeping pace with the times.
