商周时期合葬墓的考察

A Study on the Joint Burials in the Shang and Zhou Times

商周墓葬在诸多方面存在着差别,考察这些现象并分析其原因,无疑可以加深我们对于商周社会历史文化的理解。商周王朝更替带来了文化的革新与融合,这种情形在墓葬中有较为充分的反映。本文所讨论的商周时期合葬墓就是其一。所谓合葬墓,通常包括两种情况。一是同穴合葬,即在同一墓穴内埋葬一人以上,多位墓主同椁。

This paper compares the form and character of the joint burials of the Shang商and Zhou周dynasties,especially examines the distinct rules of couple tombs in the two periods,which reflect the cultural particularities of the Shang and Zhou peoples.The study indicates that the burial method of a couple in a same grave was not adopted in the two dynasties,however,a new style that the couple tombs were buried abreast was first used by the Western Zhou西周aristocrats.
