Abstract

According to the different shape characteristics, the Chu-style tripods can be divided into five categories: tripod with rim bent outside, tripod with string-rim, tripod with rim bent inside, flat-bottomed tripod, water-heating tripod. The main casting technique of Chu-style tripods is multiple casting. And the main cast of the tripods is 3— +1, their join-traces usually are IVb, the shape of the sprue is generally strip and most of the sprues are on the bottom of the tripod. On the basis of the shape and the size of the Chu-style tripods, the cast may be different, such as the the cast of the exquisitely flat-bottomed tripod is 6— +1, and the cast of some the simple-shape and small tripod with string-rim or water-heating tripod is 2—N+1.
