Moreover, the tripod Li in both areas has a common ancestor in the Keshengzhuang Erqi (客省庄二期) Culture in Guanzhong. Thus the tripod Li of the Siwa Culture borrow instead from the prototype in Guanzhong area, which tends to support that the high-necked and stout-legged tripod Li belongs to the proto-Zhou Culture.展开更多
