Fig. 12: Map of the migration routes of the Xiao family and the distribution of their SRSCs.

This map illustrates the historical migration routes of the Xiao family from the Lanling region in present-day Linyi, Shandong Province, to the southern capital area of Nanjing and Zhenjiang in Jiangsu Province. The dashed red arrow indicates the first major southward migration, while the dashed green arrow represents a secondary migration route. The orange circular symbols mark SRSCs cluster areas associated with the Southern Dynasties, particularly in Jurong and Danyang, where descendants of the Xiao family established tombs. These regions later became important burial grounds for members of the royal family during the Qi and Liang dynasties. Administrative divisions are outlined by different color shades: city-level units in yellow, provincial boundaries in green, and district borders in gray. The map emphasizes the correlation between historical family migration patterns and the spatial distribution of their monumental funerary SRSCs, shedding light on the political and cultural shifts of the period. A scale bar is provided for distance reference.
