Tomb Culture And Gentry Society In Jiankang Area During The Eastern Jin And Southern Dynasties

The Jiankiang shizu discussed in this paper may have great internal differences,but the burial culture can be summed up as the same class.After the chaos of yongjia,the people of the north crossed to jiankang and were buried in jiankang.In the early period,the people in the northern part of jiankang had disturbed the laws of the natural development of burial culture in jiankang area since the western jin dynasty and the sun and wu dynasties.Finally,in order to expand its strength in jiangdong,it began its own process of "localization",which was reflected in the burial culture,namely,the integration of local burial system and burial customs,formed a new set of burial culture,known as "jiankang tomb culture".After the eastern jin dynasty,the influence of gao menqiao's surname shizu on politics and military was weakened,but its culture always occupied the dominant position in the society.The burial culture of hanmen and the royal family and other social strata shows the trend of "gentry",and such "gentry" is actually "jiankang" when it comes to the specific space.Therefore,throughout the eastern jin and southern dynasties,there was a certain degree of uniformity in the burials of the gentry in jiankang area,and the color of "localization" was more obvious,thus falling into rigidity.In contrast,in the northern dynasty,the burial culture had entered the pattern of "blooming flowers".From the perspective of burial culture,the author observes and pry into the society of the gentry,which is a highly closed and stable society.It is the whole process of seeing a class maintain a high social status at first,but eventually collapse.This thesis is divided into two chapters:The first chapter discusses the form and structure of the burials in jiankang area.The first section analyzes the overall popularity of convex single-room brick tombs in jiankang area from the case of xie family tombs in chenjun,and thinks that this phenomenon implies the process of weakening the local power of the gentry from the eastern jin dynasty to the southern dynasty.The second section analyzes the structure of the tomb chamber in the burials of the gentry,focusing on how the gentry distinguished themselves from the burials of other classes through the internal structure of the tomb chamber after the popularity of single-chamber burials.Based on the statistics of the proportion of five representative facilities(tomb door,altar,niche,false window and coffin bed)in the whole burials of the gentry,the author analyzes their respective important positions in the burials of the gentry.Chapter two discusses the burial implements of the jiankang people.Burial implements play a central role in funeral rites,and the purchase of burial implements can also reflect some aspects of the aristocratic society.In the first section,the author starts from the phenomenon of "flowing coffins" in jiankang area in the eastern jin and southern dynasties,and discusses the origin and the social ecology behind the burial tools of the jiankang gentry.The second section discusses the basic form and structure of the burial implements of the jiankang shi nationality and their comparison with those of the northern dynasty based on archaeological data.The author thinks that jiankang shizu's insistence on wooden burial tools is actually one of the manifestations of their cultural tradition.The third chapter tries to discuss the far-reaching influence of the clan on the other strata of the Eastern Jin and Southern dynasties by means of two kinds of representative burial items in the clan tombs.And analyze the hidden worries behind this effect.
