Chinese wall gun cannon takes 1.5 oz charge
This weeks’ project involves getting a lot of old Chinese text translated. The marks should tell who, when, where of this piece. It was reportedly captured in China in 1901. It as about 8 ft. Long. From my neighborhood: Anyone able to help interpret old Chinese text?

A dear friend who has done this for me before came up with: it comes from Jiang Su (Suzhou), bears the name of the local governor Lu 陆, dates to Daoguang 20 (1840). and shows the recipe for firing. I don’t know if he wants to be identified or not.

Official,whose name is on it: Lu Jianying (Chinese: 陸建瀛; 1776 – 19 March 1853) was the Viceroy of Liangjiang from early 1849 until early 1853. When the Taiping Rebellion army occupied Nanjing on 19 March, Lu Jianying was killed by the Taiping.[1] Lu was the second to be killed (the first was the Viceroy of Huguang in early 1853) and a few of the highest rank governors killed in action in the Qing dynasty. When Beijing knew of Lu's death and the loss of Nanjing, they chose to impeach Lu in order to place the blame on him, saying he was incapable of commanding the battle.
