During Shang and Zhou Dynasty, Li was dispersed to Jianghan area where its variations appeared, and many styles of Li with different shapes, characters and uses came forth. Only one kind of daily cooker among them can be called “Chu-styled li”. The anthor believes that Chu-styled li is the compound of li from the Central Plains and Ding tripod of Jianghan area.
