No one has been able to recreate it accurately because it is unknown precisely what mechanism was used by Zhuge Liang in order to allow it to walk. What is known about it however, is that it could be found at the Neck of the wooden ox. Sima Yi from Wei recreated many of these wooden oxen to carry grain, but was tricked by Zhuge Liang because the oxen could be rendered immobile by twisting their tongues. This invention was specifically mentioned in the Romance Of Three Kingdoms , Records Of Three Kingdoms , Book Of Qi , and some other works from the Song Dynasty .
