The Study On The Cemetery Burial System In The State Of Ying

The state of Ying, the period of Zhou dynasty vassal states ruled by Ji family, is located in thecentral plains culture and chu culture transition area, due to the uniqueness of geographic location, funeralsystem as the central plains and the characteristics of chu culture, the archaeological excavation of thetombs and materials to prove it, based on the cemetery as the breakthrough point, from the graveyardsystem, coffin system, use the tripod with two handles system and with the jade system four aspects andlinks to some other fiefdoms, corresponding to the cemetery of the funeral system has carried on thepreliminary discussion:On the cemetery system, the graveyard of Ying state is typical of a race and was buried in thecemetery, but not in "rites" recorded in the strict sense of the word "cemetery". Investigate its reason,"rites" in book form in the spring and autumn period and the warring states period, although it contains thecontent of the western zhou dynasty ritual, but the book with a lot of the author’s political ideal, whichreflects Confucian thinking is mostly in the spring and autumn warring states period. the tomb to thegraveyard of Ying, in also has its own characteristics, in addition to the early western zhou dynasty tomb insouth road, the rest of the big tomb with a pyramid-shaped mound in toward the north and were head toagree, or toward the north. I think, Ying State should be rather early western zhou dynasty, the northernmigration of a warmth-loving creature is missed, for home in north instead, hoping to return after the deathof the soul.On the coffin system, the graveyard coffin system of Ying State is roughly: the evolution process ofthe middle western zhou dynasty is a long history.its coffin system; The formation of the late western zhoudynasty to the spring and autumn period and the early is the coffin system; Mid of the warring states period and the warring states period is the coffin system of trespass phase. In addition, many coffin of thegraveyard of Ying State can be in conformity with the documents, such as copper Sha, copper, fish, etc.,but some is can’t find in the literature can be corresponding to the name, such as groups of small bellunearthed in some tombs.On bronze ritual vessels combination, bronze ritual vessels combination of the graveyard of YingState of in different historical periods and their evolution can be summarized as: the middle western zhou:ding、gui、 zhi、 chun、You、jue; Late western zhou dynasty to the spring and autumn period and the early:ding、gui、zhi、 hu、pan、Yi; Mid mid spring and autumn period to warring states: ding、dui、 hu、 fou,、pan、 Yi. On the tripod with two handles system, in this way the highest of the tombs in the twospecifications is5ding6gui, this has to do with gift book "governors7ding6gui" is not consistent, I thinkit should be associated with the five jue, such as system of the zhou dynasty, Ying State as the "level ofwarring states, the funerary5tripod, is also consistent with their status.On with the jade system, the tombs of Ying State buried with jade article is given priority to withclothing with the jade, the etiquette with the jade, jade burial USES the least; the graveyard with the jadesystem of Ying State is no significant grade difference, also no significant gender differences.
