The "Shang Dynasty Bronze Tripod" is a tableware from the 12th to 11th centuries BC, currently housed in the Minneapolis Museum of Art in the United States. The prototype of the tripod is a rough pottery of the same shape and name made during the Erlitou Culture period (around 3000-2000 BC). The edge of this tripod has thunder patterns, which is a symbol of copper casting in the Shang Dynasty.

This cultural relic is a three legged tripod, a bronze vessel, and its ceramic prototype can be traced back to the Peiligang culture of the Neolithic Age. In the early Shang Dynasty (1600-1300 BC), bronze versions of the flat footed tripod began to be cast. Ding is an ancient Chinese cooking or storage vessel, usually with two handles located at the edges, supported by three or four cylindrical legs. The shape of the tripod was almost ubiquitous in early China, including ceramic vessels from the Neolithic period and bronze vessels from the Shang Dynasty, as well as many later imitations of bronze and glazed pottery. This artifact is housed in the Minneapolis Museum of Art.

This Chinese cultural relic is a bronze vessel called "Shengding", which was cast around 575 BC. Shengding "refers to a type of tripod with a flat bottom and a prominent waist. The word 'sheng' refers to the offerings provided within it. There are six Kui dragons climbing towards the lid in high relief around the body of the Ding. The surface is decorated with interwoven dragons, engraved with scale patterns, and overlapping feather like patterns. Although most of the decorations are made using traditional block casting bronze techniques, the six dragons, with their complex, perforated shapes, were individually crafted using the lost wax method. This cauldron is currently housed in the Minneapolis Museum of Art in the United States.

This tripod is a relic of China's Shang Dynasty (1600 BC -1046 BC) and was made from 1200 BC to 1100 BC. The overall size of this bronze vessel is 14.3 x 12.5cm and is currently in the collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art. This tripod has a pattern composed of silkworms and cicadas, which is a typical form and decoration of the late Shang Dynasty. In ancient China, bronze vessels such as the tripod were used to worship the food and meat of ancestors in sacrifices. These bronzes have become the main academic research objects in Chinese history and are precious art treasures.
