Western Zhou remains at the Puchengdian site include diverse cultural elements ranging from those of the Shang culture, the local culture to the Zhou culture. Shang culture remains, mainly derived from the Guandimiao type of the Yinxu culture, share general traits with the Yin ex-subject culture to the east. However,typical li tripods with pouched legs but without solid tips, commonly found along the eastern piedmont of the Taihang Mountains, are absent at Puchengdian. The style of li tripods displays great diversity, suggesting that they were probably the remains of Yin ex-subjects. The socio-cultural structure of the Western Zhou Ying state was founded on three social strata: a ruling class made up of the Ji-surnamed Zhou people, a middle class consisting of noble Yin ex-subjects, and a lower class represented by the Western Zhou remains at Puchengdian.
