From Warring States period to Western Han dynasty, Dian culture is very important and flourishing in the Dian lake area. There are three important sites----Jinning Shizhaishan, Jiangchuan Lijiashan and Kunming Yangfutou cemeteries in the period.By comparing similarities and differences about burial artifacts and pattern of these three cemeteries, I am aiming to study the difference within Dian culture from Warring States period to Western Han dynasty and to explain the causes of these differences.By comparing these three cemeteries with other neighbouring cultures, I am aiming to study the different connections of people from different cemeteries belonging to different social status and to try to explain the causes.Chapter OneIntroduce these three cemeteries and summarize the achievements and deficiency of previous research. On the basis of previous research, I state the purpose of this research and explain the objects and methods in brief.Chapter TwoEstablish the chronological characteristics of pottery and bronze artifacts in the Yangfutou cemetery.Ceramics that are sensitive to study chronological characteristics contain pots, kettles and zun. Bronze artifacts include swords,dagger-axe,axe and spear.Chapter ThreeAfter the careful study of artifacts,the chronology of Yangfutou cemetery can be divided into three stages. Afterwards, comparing bronze assemblage of Shizhaishan cemetery and Lijiashan cemetery with those of Yangfutou cemetery, the chronological phases of these three cemeteries are established. And according to some materials from Shizhaishan cemetery, Lijiashan cemetery or other cemeteries of Dian culture, the absolute chronological phases can be affirmed to the late Warring States, the early and middle Western Han dynasty,the late Western Han dynasty.Chapter FourCompare similarities and differences of burial artifacts, burial ritual,burial structures of these three cemeteries. To a large extent, Yangfutou cemetery is different from the other two. Perhaps they represent two groups of people within Dian culture.Chapter FiveCompare the three cemeteries with other cultures,they are influenced by a number of cultures,ie. the Northern culture,the central plain Han culture, the Ba-shu culture, the Chu culture, the Wu Yue culture, the Yue culture in Guangdong and Guangxi Province, the culture in the east of Yunnan Province and west of Guizhou Province, the culture in the southeast of Yunnan Province.Chapter SixConclude the main viewpoints of the comparative study on three cemeteries and raise the shortcomings.
