The reference to the youth of the nonagenarian in the court
寿 would prove Li Shao Jun's age.
Perhaps he was fourteen or fifteen years old,
when the old man accompanied his grandfather as a boy.
Why should Li Shao Jun not know this, if he had 200 years?
武帝Wudi’s time is very far from Duke Huan, when the bronze vase was cast,
and Li Shao Jun cannot have seen it.
殿 Perhaps he heard once that in the palace there was an old vessel,
or he examined the inscription beforehand to speak upon it,
so that he was well-informed, when he saw it again.
When our amateurs of to-day
see an old sword or an antique crooked blade,
they generally know where to place it.
Does that imply that they saw, how it was wrought?
