What 𪫥 means
It praises the bells’ sound quality.
In the bell inscription, 休𪫥孔煌 is read as a compliment on the bells’ tone: 淑 means good here, and 孔煌 describes it as very bright. The line is cast on a tuned group of bronze bells from tomb M169 at the Zaoshulin cemetery (dated c. 570 BCE); the long inscription says they were made for ceremonies honoring ancestors or for banquets.
