郘鐘是春秋時代晉國有銘青銅器，於晚清年間在山西省出土。王國維根據銘文內容所見之姓氏，論定郘鐘器主為晉國魏錡之後人。然而，近人有不同的意見，或以郘鐘器主為魏錡之子魏绛，或以為魏錡之子魏相。本文試從史籍中所見魏氏世系，剖析後出之説並不能成立，因此，郘鐘器主的身份仍以王國維的説法為恰當。

“Lu Zhong”（郘鐘）, an inscribed bronze of Jin State in the Spring & Autumn Periods, was excavated during the late Ching Dynasty in Shanxi Province. According to the clan’s name shown in the inscription of this bronze, Wang guo wei （王國維）identified that the master of this bronze was an offspring of Wei qi （魏錡）.However, | there are recently different opinions arguing who was the master of “Lu Zhong” （郘鐘）.Some believe Wei jiang （魏絳）,son of Wei qi（魏錡） ,was the master of this bronze while others believe Wei xiang （魏相）, another son of Wei qi （魏錡）, was the master. This paper attempts to analyze the above arguments on the basis of the genealogy of the Wei clan discussed in ancient archives. The result of the analysis rejects the later proposition and suggests that the argument of Wang guo wei （王國維）is more appropriate.
