Burial Record of Lady Wang Daohui, Wife of the Granary Supervisor of Longxing (1200–1273)
Since ancient times, records of virtuous mothers have been cherished, but many have been neglected by imperial chronicles, and it is deeply regretted that many model women of later times have not been heard of. My late mother’s gentle strength and steadfast devotion – rooted in nature and manifested throughout life – illuminated the inner chambers and inspired the clan, setting an enduring standard. Her formal epitaph was composed by the renowned scholar Yuwen of Xinan, but, for the pressing time, it has not been inscribed on a stele yet. This brief record preserves only essential dates for interment.
Lady Wang Daohui, courtesy name Huirou, descended from the Wang clan of Changtan, Xinchang. Married at fifteen to the Granary Supervisor of Longxing, she was widowed for fifteen years before passing away at seventy-three. Her grandfather Wang Zhimao served as Administrative Clerk of Xincheng County, Lin’an Prefect. Her father Wang Ju retired as Gentleman for Comprehensive Duty. Her mother hailed from the Zhou clan of Shanzhou.
