Supplement and Collation of Female Officers in Northern Wei Dynasty

The official record of female officer is little in Northern Wei period. This makes mutual confirmation difficult and

With the deepening of archaeological work, some female officer inscriptions had been discovered, which supplemented dictionaries and historical books and brought new hope to the development of female officer researches.
