Notes:
1. The historical figures depicted on those vases are Liu Chen (劉諶, 220-265), Prince of Beidi, the fifth son of Liu Shan, the second ruler of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period, and Yang Hu (221-278), a general of the Jin Dynasty, known for his humility and foresight.
2. The “Wu Shuang Pu” (無雙普), i.e. the “Table of Peerless Heroes”, is a book of woodcut prints, first printed in 1694.
