释“疏”

A Decipherment of the Character "疏"

The bronze gui food container published in 2007 bears an inscription that records the event of the Zhou king enfeoffing earl Tang in the Jin State and granting him the title "marquis." But the vessel owner "■ 公" (Duke ■) has not been identified all along. As the author believes,this character should be taken as" (爻疋) (疏)"seen in the Shuo Wen《说文》because it contains the component "爻"and is read "疋"(夏).
