Divined on Renzi: Our lord will lead Lady Hao into Rong.123 Dispense (to her) three large jade tablets. Going to Xuan.124 12 120 Huang Tianshu (2006: 449) understands chu ri as being equivalent in meaning to ri chu sunrise (HYZ 426). The alternative is to read chu as a verb, exit, and ri as day- time. 121 Bing modifies bow and means the bow was either produced in a place called Bing or submitted by Bing. Inscribed bronzes with this name have been discovered in Shilou-Lingshi, Shanxi 西 (Kaogu 1990.7). Song Zhenhao (2010: 468-477) offers an alternative interpretation, and takes Bing, which appears to depict a stand or base, to mean a crossbow. 122 There are two possible readings here for the compound ji gong : 1/) like Bing in the previous divination, it is the name of the manufacturer or place the bow came from; 2) it refers to a type of bow. Song Zhenhao (2010: 468-477), following his interpretation of crossbow, explains it as a fast bow. See HYZ 40. 116 | HYZ 37
