The Tombs Arrangement of Jin Marquis' Family Cemetery in Bei Zhao and Relatd Issues

北赵晋侯墓地以类于古代宗庙合祭时神主排位的方式布列诸墓组穴位:太祖墓M114、M113墓组置于墓地中间东端,可能殉于国人之难的晋靖侯宜臼夫妇墓组M91与M92墓组置于墓地中间西端,英年早逝的一代太子墓M112置于墓地中心位置。如果以观察者的角度,在M114、M113墓组处,面向西站立,则M9、M13及其以下诸墓组呈两排布列于太祖墓前,只不过没有左右交替而已。北赵晋侯墓地内埋葬的正常死亡者只有七代。

The tombs were placed in the family graveyard of Jin Marquis in Beizhao site the same way as the ancestors' memorial tablets were arranged in ancestral shrines for offering sacrifices to them in ancient times.Specifically,opposite tombs M_(91) and M_(92) of Jinjing marquis couple,M_(114) and M_(113) which stand for the tombs of primogenitors lie in the east of the center of the cemetery.M_(112)representing the tomb of the prince who died young,is in the center of the cemetery.Looked westward from where M_(114) and M_(113) were located at tombs Mg,M_(13) and the rest,they stand along by the both sides of primogenitors tombs,not north-south alternately.Only seven generations who died naturally were rested in this family graveyard.
