The article begins by introducing the definition and unique characteristics of this kind of Mirors，followed bya discussion of various types discovered in diffrent sites.Subsequently，it provides a detailed description of the distinctive featuresof the mirrors'interior decorations.The cultural origins of these features are explored， with the study highlighting the significant influence of Gandhara art.The article then examines the connection between the mirors and Buddhist narrative themes，considering the potential influenceof imagery related to the legend of Dipankara Buddha’s prophecy.Finally，it revisits the traditional theories of the“Wu Mirror Hypothesis” and the“Wei Mirrr Hypothesis”，suggesting that while influences from“Shu”culture and Western regions are evident，recent discoveries of Buddhist-related artifacts in the Central Plains may provide new evidence to support the“Wei Mirror Hypothesis".
