Question:

The writing on the bronze urn is from 577...1430 years ago.

And the message is available for press release.

I know a little about Kanji in very general terms, I know that the symbols elicit an image or idea and not necessarily sound, I know it migrated from China outward, but;

Is 21st century kanji close enough to 1st century kanji to allow for anyone with a reasonable level of literacy to read it?

If necessary: pardon my dumb, it's been a long time and I've been busy.
