ABSTRACT

The main style of the picture of The Woman in the Doorway is that the door is slightly opened, and a woman holds the door and looks at the tomb door. The research background of this paper is to understand the relationship between these styles from the perspective of space, the relationship with the tomb owner's life scene, and the concept of Feng Shui in the Northern Song Dynasty, or the living person set up in order to seek good luck and avoid evil. These concepts are used as concepts for our follow-up in-depth research and interpretation of the relationship between the spiritual world of the Northern Song Dynasty gentry, special ornaments, and the social, political, economic, and cultural changes of the Northern Song Dynasty, and explain the deep meaning of The Woman in the Doorway.
