Ding is a bronze container used for cooking and worship in ancient China, with a history dating back to the 11th century BC to the 10th century BC.

In the early Western Zhou Dynasty, tripod legs began to be popular in the form of birds. The tripod collected by the Minneapolis Museum of Art features a bird shaped design with three legs, standing on claws and tail, and decorated with cicada patterns above the legs.
