摘　　要：In 1984,a bronze yon was unearthed at the Yinxu site in Henan Province,discovered by a young archaeologist during an excavation.The yon was a cooking vessel from the Shang Dynasty,consisting of two parts:The upper part called zeng,used to hold food,and the lower part called li(Li),used to hold water.When the bottom was heated with charcoal,the water would turn into steam and cook the food above.Its principle is similar to modern steamers.However,this yon from Anyang’s Yinxu site was extremely unusual-it contained not steamed buns,but a human head.
