In the last century, people learned about him through two books:《Memoir of Biwei Jiang—Beihong Xu and I》from Biwei Jiang, and《My Life—the memory of Beihong Xu》from Jingwen Liao. Through their depictions, we can find that the former devaluated him, and the latter praised; the former suppressed, and the latter complimented. The former was popular in Taiwan, and the latter was widely accepted by main land people. Both of the two ladies accompanied with Beihong Xu spending his life successively. Due to the strongly subjective tendency and time restriction in their narratives, people were hard to find out the integrated characteristics of Beihong Xu. After compared with the achievements of affection, art and education from the two ladies, and their common and un-common viewpoint of Beihong Xu, both the mentioned and un-mentioned ideas in their books, we are able to make a complementary study about Beihong Xu. So we can re-construct an integrated visualization of Beihong Xu. Simultaneity, by analyzing the art master's inditing course and his intimate relationship with his two ladies, it can help us to learn the art life of Beihong Xu rationally. We can get more and more illumination, edification and sentiment from his life track, his art opinion and his inditement and education frame.
