The Ground Certificate and the Zhenmuwen appeared among the graves that belong to middle period of the Eastern Han Dynasty of Luoyang and Chang An at first. They were written material that could make the grave stable. They were relics early Taoism left during the activities of driving the spirit to remove charges and punishment and charming to cure the diseases. They were very old and spread extensively. After "the Calamity in Chuping Period in the Han Dynasty" in last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, they disappeared in their birthplace. However, they continued to spread in Wu Guo in the South and the area of the Hexi Corridor of the Northwest. They were inherited and developed through successive dynasties continuously. They are still used today by some people.This dissertation discusses the nature, the origin, the phylogeny and the current situation of The Ground Certificate and the Zhenmuwen, differentiates and studies the collected written material in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms, the western Jin Dynasty, the Eastern Jin Dynasty 16 country and the Northern and Southern Dynasties. The study includes translating the words, adding the punctuation, the explanatory notes and explanations, etc. Moreover, to some knotty problems, this dissertation did some deep textual criticism. This dissertation divides into four parts:The first part: The preface. The research object, research purpose, research approach and the style of this thesis are introduced here.The second part: Comprehensive theory. This is a theory part of the thesis and can be divided into four sections.Section one: It introduces" relevant concepts" at first and discusses the behavior of making the grave stable. This kind of behavior had developed from the material objects to the symbols and from spoken language to the written characters.

By middle period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, The Ground Certificate and the Zhenmuwen appeared. The Ground Certificate was a special kind of the Zhenmuwen. There are two main purposes to use the Zhenmuwen: one is to separate the living from the dead and another one is to suppress the ghosts. Wushu after the Eastern Han Dynasty often contained the characters suppressing ghosts and it was also a special kind of the Zhenmuwen. Since someone obscures The Ground Certificate and the epitaph in the archaeological practice, this thesis has discussed the difference between them in details. Section two: "the productions and the developments of The Ground Certificate and the Zhenmuwen". The thesis probes into that they came from people's fear of the dead and worries of different disasters brought by the ghosts. Since the Stone Age, people have used various kinds of funeral ways to prevent the ghosts from returning to the former residence to haunt. ThroughShang Dynasty, the West Zhou Dynasty, Spring and Autumn, the Warring states, until Qin and Han Dynasty, this kind of fear to the ghosts was not reduced and it became stronger constantly instead. Under the specific historical backgrounds of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the person who preached himself as a new developed Taoism wrote the incantation with the cinnabar for driving the ghosts. Then Zhenmuwen was produced. The behavior of buying ground for the dead took place in the same period. The purpose of this behavior is not to cultivate in the nether world, but to build house in the nether world, thus to pacify the dead and protect the living people. Section three: The linguistics and philology meaning of the study on The Ground Certificate and the Zhenmuwen. On one hand, they have kept the original form of folk spoken language for each historical periods; On the other hand, they were the basic motive force of the development of book body and calligraphy, too.
