The Research On The Burial System Of The Jin Tombs Which Include Bronze Vessels From Western Zhou To Spring And Autumn Period

In this paper, I select the archaeological material of more than130seats bronze tomb from Western Zhou Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period of Tianma-Qucun village cemetery, Beizhao Jin Hou cemetery, Quwo Yangshe cemetery, Fangdui-Yongningbao Cemetery, Houma Shangma cemetery, Wenxi Shangguo cemetery. Analyze them from the shapes of cemetery, tomb’s structure, sartifacts’system and chariot pit’s form, etc.By studying various materials found in the cemetery, I found that Jin Monarch and his wife have specific cemetery; most of the tombs have one or two entrance passages. The husband and wife in different cave, side by side in joint burial tomb. Chariot pit is on the eastern side besides the owners’tomb. The mound and other monumental buildings havenot been found form Western Zhou Dynasty to Spring and Autumn Period. Other people ranking from the nobility to the populace were buried in "the state’s tomb" which were vertical earthen graves without pathways. Tomb sections of different directions we’re belong to different small families. It can be deduced that there possibly have someone professional arrange the tombs’sites. Those people refered in the historical documents, managing the tombs, suggesting by the phenomenon that the tombs were never broken in and symbols in the tombs.From the point of view of gender differences, wether for aristocratic tombs or Hou tombs, the tombs of women were not buried with weapons and tools, while pottery and jade in women’s tombs are much more than those of mens’.From the point of tomb standard and Ding standard, in same social class, joint burial tombs of males are more than those of females.Ding match with Gui is an important symbol of aristocratic hierarchy, but the systematic situation began to appear in the mid-Western Zhou Dynasty, and the Gui’s system seems to appear earlier in the column Ding. The late Western Zhou Ding Gui parity match basically becomes regulated. Chimes of Bells and Chime of Stones appears only in the Western Zhou Dynasty tomb in marquises, to the Spring and Autumn period also for high-grade Tombs of the Nobles, the small number who may belong to the public reward Jin, a larger number were there overstepped suspected.
