Among the three ancient Dynasties of Xia, Shang, and Zhou, the most significant historical event was undoubtedly the Zhou succession to Shang rule. The precise dating of the conquest of the Shang by the Zhou has thus served as a chronological benchmark in the Xia-Shang-Zhou-Chronology Project. The replacement of the great city-state of Shang by the smaller polity of Zhou was not merely a political transition but also involved modifications to sacrificial practices, beliefs, and socio-cultural institutions, which in turn influenced material culture. As the most significant material representation of the Shang and Zhou periods, bronze vessels served as essential carriers of ritual and musical civilization. Their evolution is concretely manifested in the following aspects: a significant enrichment of food containers; the transformation of vessels used in libation and feasting, with utensils such as the Dou (豆) and Gong (觥) evolving into implements for culinary culture; and the creation of musical instrument sets, including Yong-bells（甬） and Duo-bells(铎) compatible with the five-tone scale system of the Zhou Dynasty’s ceremonial music. These developments illustrate that social transformations exert profound, multifaceted, and enduring influences on material culture.
