论元代蒙古族丧葬风俗

On the Burial Custom of the Mongols in the Yuan Dynasty

西方学者所称 ,蒙古人元代就有“人殉”之说 ,不属实。元代蒙古人丧葬之礼 ,是土葬。它提倡的是自然的永生 ,重视自然、保护自然、遵循自然的生态规律 ,是游牧文化的精髓。这种土葬法适合于游牧生活和合乎于游牧文化特点。

It is untrue that the dead were buried along with the people who were killed for the dead according to the western scholars in the Yuan dynasty. The burial custom of the Mongols is the burial in the ground.
