武汉市武昌区南朝刘觊墓再研究

Reevaluation of the Southern Dynasties Tomb of Liu Ji in Wuchang, District, Wuhan City

1956年,考古工作者在武汉市武昌区东北郊的何家大塆发掘一座砖室墓(M193),墓中出有陶买地券一合,标明墓主是葬于永明三年(公元485年)的刘觊[1]。这是湖北地区首次发现的墓主明确的南朝墓葬。长期以来,有关该墓的研究多聚焦其所出买地券,尤其是买地券中的道教内容[2]。

The tomb of Liu Ji is the first Southern Dynasties tomb found in Hubei for which an archaeologically substantiated identification of the tomb occupant is possible.The coffin bed was constructed in the local tradition,while simulated windows and the tomb type display cultural characteristics typical of the Jiankang region.The style of simulated windows in this tomb originated from contemporary tombs in Nanjing;however,its form obviously lagged behind.Based on the inscription of a funerary land deed from the tomb,it is possible that this stylistic delay was related to Liu Ji’s grandfather,who took offices in Jiankang.Liu Ji was the descendant of a major clan that originated in Nanyang but later moved to Yingzhou.Thus,he could also be viewed as the descendant of a major local clan in Yingzhou.That said,Liu Ji’s tomb also shows many similarities to those in the Jiankang region.This phenomenon indicates that Southern Dynasties major local clans appreciated and simulated the burial culture of the Jiankang region.
