In Chinese mythology and culture, the three-legged crow is called the sanzuwu (; Cantonese: ''sam1zuk1wu1''; Shanghainese: sae tsoh u(lit. ¨three legged bird¨)) and is present in many myths and is also mentioned in the Shanhaijing. The earliest known depiction of a three-legged crow appears in Neolithic pottery of the Yangshao culture. The sanzuwu is also of the ''Twelve Medallions'' that is used in the decoration of formal imperial garments in ancient China. A silk painting from the Western Han excavated at the Mawangdui archaeological site also depicts a sanzuwu perched on a tree.
