Among the sundry traditions, the one with an obvious Western affiliation
usually attracts the attention of the archaeologists first. Several
important examples under this category may be mentioned; of these the
fei-i monster (Fig.8), developed as a decorative pattern with one head,
t’ao-t’ie fashion, and two intertwining bodies, may betaken as the first
instance. This pattern was traced out on the top of the wooden chamber
in HPKM: 1001 of the Hou-chia-chuang royal cemetery, and is certainly
the earliest example of its kind in the art history of China
