It is the same shape as the rectangular porcelain ware in the Three Kingdoms and the Jin Dynasties, so it is named. Porcelain was popular in the Three Kingdoms, the Jin and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, with obvious characteristics of the times. During the Three Kingdoms and the Eastern and Western Jin Dynasties, most of the legs were rectangular, with one large and eight small divisions.

After the Southern Dynasty, the number of inner squares of round bamboo decreased.
