摘要
Through a study of the pictography on the sign-engraved bronze plate from the 13th tomb of the Western Han at Shizhaishan in Jinning,Yunnan,the author re-explains the meanings of some engraved signs and puts forward the idea that in this pictography there exists a distinctive figure-value counting method with a certain figure-carrying system.The signs "■," "○" and "—" form the three-grade counting-sign system characteristic of the Dian Kingdom.The plate may have been a bronze back-plate of a Dian nobleman’s lacquered wooden quiver going back to over 2000 BP.

The signs “◎,”“○” and “—” form the three-grade counting-sign system characteristic of the Dian Kingdom.
