From 1974 to 1975, two adjacent tombs were excavated in Rujiazhuang, Baoji. According to the inscription on the funerary bronzes, the noble (bow fish) Bo and his wife Jing Ji were buried in these two tombs respectively.

Among them, two three-legged black statues with the same shape unearthed in Room B of Tomb Rujiazhuang 1 are very distinctive. The bigger one is 23.5 cm high, 3 1.2 cm long and weighs 3 kg. The smaller one is 18 cm high. The bird is plump, with its head held high and its beak hooked. It looks far and wide, with three upright legs, a rectangular tail and stepped sides. The bird is hollow, with a rectangular hole in its back and a lid on it. The whole body is covered with scaly feathers, the tail is decorated with chain feathers, and the feet are decorated with scales.
The bird statue is ingenious and scientific. As a vessel for holding wine, if there are only two feet, the stability is poor and it is easy to fall. For stability, it has a triangular support behind its two feet. From the mechanical point of view, it is a stable support, and the bird statue stands very steadily. But whether this shape is just for stability is not necessarily the case. Some experts believe that the shape of this bird image may be related to the ancient legend that Japan has three legs.
