This book contains newly published epitaphs from the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties between the 1950s and the end of 2003. The epitaphs date from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms to the end of the Yang and Sui Dynasties (220-618). They are all those that have not been included in Zhao Wanli's "Collection of Epitaphs of Han, Wei, Southern and Northern Dynasties" (Science Press, 1956 edition) and Zhao Chao's "Collection of Epitaphs of Han, Wei, Southern and Northern Dynasties" (Tianjin Ancient Books Publishing House, 1992 edition). The whole book is divided into five parts: Wei, Jin, Sixteen Kingdoms, Southern Dynasties, Northern Wei, Eastern Wei and Northern Qi, Western Wei, Northern Zhou, and Sui. Each part is arranged in order according to the burial date of the deceased. The epitaph first lists the text, and then attaches sparse evidence, indicating the sources of the rubbings and reference texts, introducing the existing research results, and briefly researching and explaining the historical events involved in the epitaph.
