A new place for relics related to historical law

The State Administration of Cultural Heritage gave six bronze vessels to the China Court Museum's permanent collection on Tuesday.

Four of the artifacts date back to the late Shang Dynasty (c.16th century-11th century BC). One is from the transitional period between the Shang era and the Zhou Dynasty (c.11th century-256 BC). And one was created during the late Western Zhou Dynasty (c.11th century-771 BC).

They're categorized according to function, including ding (vessels for cooking or sacrificial purposes), zun (liquor containers) and xu (used for food).
