试论先秦墓道的使用与墓葬的规格

很多学者都认为,在先秦的多墓道墓葬中,墓道越多的墓葬规格也越高。而考古资料显示,在周、秦时期,墓道的数量并不是墓葬等级的标志。墓道是有着诸多实用性用途的,多墓道的出现可能和古代祭祀有关。

Most scholars think that, the more tomb passages, the higher grade of the tombs. But, the archaeological materials show that, the number of tomb passages is not the sign of tomb grade of Zhou and Qin dynasties, the tomb passage has many practical functions. The phenomenon that a tomb uses more than one tomb passages perhaps has something to do with ancient sacrifice.
