Research On The Place Of Funeral Objects In Small And Medium-sized Han Tombs In Guangzhou

Tombs are an important part of Archaeology and an important place to study ancient funeral culture.The construction of burial chamber,burial equipment and funerary objects are the physical embodiment of ancient funeral concept.This article attempts to study the tombs related to Han Dynasty from the perspective of funerary objects.The first chapter first defines the scope of time and space of the study;secondly,it introduces the discovery and research of small and medium-sized Han Tombs in Guangzhou by stages,and combs the relevant research of the location of burial objects;finally,it studies by using the methods of sorting statistics and comparative research.In the second chapter,firstly,the burial materials in Guangzhou are introduced;secondly,according to the different standards of texture and function,the funerary objects are classified,and the distribution of all kinds of objects in different areas of the tomb is counted.It is found that with the change of the burial space,the interior of the tomb gradually forms several zones;thirdly,the funerary objects in different tombs in the same period are statistically analyzed According to the change of the position of the funerary objects in different periods,it can be divided into four stages: no funerary objects space period,the generation period of the funerary objects space,the transition period of the funerary objects space and the mature period of the funerary objects space.In essence,the change of the location of the funerary objects is the expression of the gradual integration of Guangzhou into the main body of Han culture and the gradual acceptance of the funeral customs of Han Dynasty.The third chapter is a comparative study of the tombs of Han Dynasty in Guangzhou and surrounding areas.First of all,it is a comparative study with the northern part of Guangzhou and the surrounding areas ofGuangzhou where Han tombs were found in Guangdong Province.It is found that there are certain differences,mainly in the northern part of Guangdong affected by the remains of the Warring States period,and there is a lag with Guangzhou.The second is a comparative study with the tombs in Guangxi.It is found that the two regions are closely related in culture,which may be due to the fact that they belong to the same Yue Nationality Settlement.The regional unity is reflected in the early special burial customs and the later changes in the combination of ritual and utensils,which is different from that in terms of both utensils and tombs In Guangzhou.Moreover,a comparative study with the tombs in Hunan Province shows that there are cultural exchanges and mutual influences between Guangzhou and Hunan.From the perspective of tombs,the early separation of outer space in Guangzhou is the result of the influence of Chu culture.From the perspective of utensils,the tombs animals,slideshows and wooden utensils found in Guangzhou are all influenced by Chu culture In the middle of the Western Han Dynasty,a large number of hard pottery were found in Hunan area,as well as the discovery of joint pots,which are the characteristics of Yue culture.Finally,through the comparative study,it is found that in the Eastern Han Dynasty,all regions were basically integrated into the main body of Han culture,mainly reflected in the maturity of the burial space,the stability of the internal division of the tomb,as well as the popularity of model and sacrificial vessels.Finally,it summarizes the research of this paper.With the continuous expansion of the space of the tombs in the Han Dynasty,the position of the funerary objects has changed.The reason for the change of the shape of the tombs is the change of the concept of the tombs in the Han Dynasty.
