On July 23, the National Museum of China announced a lecture on the dating of Qi pottery inscriptions from the Warring States period. The lecture is scheduled for July 29 from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. in the museum’s Academic Lecture Hall and will be presented by Nanjing Normal University professor Wu Liangbao. The announcement says most recorded Qi pottery inscriptions do not contain year numbers, while changes in titles, links between people with the same name and excavation-location information can provide clues for dating some official measuring-vessel inscriptions.
