Criticisms on Some Funeral Expressions in Eastern Han Dynasty——Based onA Study on Purchase of Land Voucher in Ancient China

买地券是一种极为重要的碑刻文献,其承载的内容极为丰富。又因买地券置于墓穴之中,所以保存较为完整,这也是买地券较于其他刻石的优势所在。买地券文献的性质、内容、功用决定了它的用词倾向,与丧葬有关的词语很多。从鲁西奇先生编著的《中国古代买地券研究》一书中,搜集整理了东汉时期"青骨""归蒿里""归土""绝草""冢地""冢田""袁田""明堂"这八个与丧葬有关的词语,这些刻意避开"死亡"的委婉表达,也反映了人们的讳忌心理和含蓄的语言风格。
