匜（Yi）
匜——中国古代贵族举行礼仪活动时浇水的用具，出现在西周中后期（约2700多年前），盛于东周。匜形椭长，前有流，后有鋬，多有四足。早期匜为青铜制，汉代以后出现匜金银器、匜漆器、匜玉器。《左传·僖公二十三年》有“奉匜沃盥”的记载，沃的意思是浇水，盥的意思是洗手洗脸，“奉匜沃盥”是中国古代在祭祀典礼之前的重要礼仪。
Yi
Yi is a ceremonial water vessel used by aristocrats in ancient China for rituals. It first appeared in the mid or late Western Zhou Dynasty (about 2700 years ago) and was most commonly seen in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. It is oval with a spout on one end and handle on the other and usually has four legs. The early examples were made of bronze. After Han Dynasty, gold, silver, lacquer and jade examples also appeared. Zuozhuan , the 23rd Year of Xigong’s Reign described the use of Yi to wash hands and face as an important preparation for ancient Chinese worship rituals.
