Abstract
Over the years, a three-part divine beast mirror that was discovered in Tomb No. 1 of the Hejiashan cliff tomb in the heart of Mianyang, Sichuan, in 1989 has drawn a lot of scholarly interest. The author further concentrates on the female figure in the upper section of the motif, researching the identification and connotation of this figure using the ever-evolving techniques of artistic and archaeological investigation. To identify the characteristics of the female deity from the outside to the inside of the three-part divine mirror and to support the argument that the deity is associated with Taoism, this paper will compile pertinent research from a methodological perspective and use a combination of pictorial and sociological research methods.
