The Kanghou Gui is an early Western Zhou bronze unearthed in Henan in 1931, subsequently resold overseas, and donated to the British Museum in 1977 by Brooke Sewell.
Kang Hou Gui is also known as Situ Diegui, scholars believe that it comes from the cemetery of the nobles of Xincun in Jun County, Henan, around 1931, and then went overseas. The inscription on the bottom of the vessel is 4 lines and 24 characters. The inscription can prove that Kang Shufeng, the son of King Wen and the ancestor of Kang's surname, was first sealed in Kangcheng when King Wu Keyin was divided, and then moved to defend the country after King Cheng pacified the "Rebellion of the Three Prisons". Kang Hou Wei is not only a precious bronze heavy weapon, but also a rare physical material that proves that the Kang family in Hainei was given the surname of the country.
