This paper uses the Xu family genealogy, literature catalog, historical records to study the Xu family’s life and deeds. Xu Chunfu was born in the second year of the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty (1523) and passed away in the 24th year of the Wanli reign of the Ming Dynasty (1596). He served as an official in the Tai Hospital for about 20 years. His work Gu Jin Yi Tong Da Quan was written around the 43rd year of the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty (1556), with a lower limit of the fifth year of the Longqing reign of the Ming Dynasty (1571), and the initial engraving time was not earlier than the eighth year of the Wanli reign of the Ming Dynasty (1580). This paper corrects the shortcomings and errors in previous research, and provides a comprehensive and systematic examination of Xu Chunfu’s life and works.展开更多

The Lv Xu’s tomb is a newly excavated tomb of the Pingcheng period of Northern Wei Dynasty, which contains a rare painted shallow relief stone coffin. On the northern side of the coffin, there is a picture of ascending owner flanked by an ox-headed bird with wings and a mouse-headed bird with wings on each side. There are also images of azure dragon, white tiger and vermilion bird in the lower part of the east, west and north walls respectively. The identity information and the roles these images played in the tomb are not to be clarified yet. This paper aims to use iconographic methods to interpret the painted shallow relief carvings of winged divine beasts on the stone coffin, to identify their characteristics, schematic sources, and cultural attributes, and to provide some foundational work for further research on the stone coffin of the Lv Xu’s tomb.展开更多
