The Epitaph of Xiao Dilu and Yelü Xiangwen in the Khitan Small Script preserved in the Ethnic Museum of Inner Mongolia University were published by Prof. Juha Janhunen and me in England in 2010. However, Liu Fengzhu who is a research fellow at Chinese Academy of Social Sciences has published articles on Zhongguo Shehui Kexuebao last year and argued that the epitaphs are not original Khitan Small Script documents but recent forgeries made by a person or persons well versed in the Khitan language and scripts. These epitaphs, like all the other previously published Khitan texts, are certainly genuine samples of Khitan writing from the context of the Liao Empire. According to previously published Khitan materials, the author explains why research fellow Liu Fengzhu is mistaken when he regards our two documents as forgeries in detail, so that to avoid his mistaken claim mislead some readers to think that he is right.
