This tripod, named after its owner Wei, has a simple but majestic shape with 207 characters in 19 lines inscribed on the inner wall detailing about a land transaction in the fifth year of the reign of King Gong of the Western Zhou Dynasty. The inscription records the process of a man named Qiu Wei exchanging land with his neighbor Bang Jun Li, including the officials involved, the delimitation of the land, and the conditions and witnesses of the land transfer. This kind of record is extremely rare and provides direct evidence for understanding the land ownership and transfer system during the mid-Western Zhou. Although part of the land was privately owned at the time, the exchange or sale of land still needed to be handled by high-ranking officials. Besides, since its production time has been precisely recorded in the inscription, the tripod is often used as a significant reference for determining the age of other bronze wares from the mid-Western Zhou Dynasty.
