| According to "Wang’s genealogy" records,Wang Shixian family cemetery was built in the Southern Song Dynasty Chunyou three years(1243),until the Ming Wanli Bingchen year(1616),the cemetery buried Wang Shixian family 66 Sun Wang Shixian to 79 Sun Wang Chun,after 14 generations,73 years,a total of more than 220 people buried.1972～1990 after six excavations,a total of 29 tombs,unearthed a total of 825 sets of cultural relics.The study of the Wang Shixian family began in the 1980 s.Scholars have a preliminary understanding of the family through unearthed epitaphs and ancient literature.However,because of the conflict between the unearthed epitaph and the historical documents such as Yuan History,the unearthed epitaph is also ambiguous about the ancestor’s background.Influenced by political culture and other factors,written materials may be deceptive,so we must give full play to the power of cultural relics.Based on the study of the burial objects unearthed from the tomb of Wang Shixian family and the genealogy,this paper thinks that Wang Shixian family is undoubtedly Han,but it has nothing to do with Wang’s family in Jiangnan.To make the relics alive,we must correspond to the burial objects with their tomb owners.Due to incomplete archaeological excavations and man-made and natural destruction,only 8 tombs have been excavated.After detailed statistics and thinning of the burial objects,this paper reconfirms that M1 tomb owner is Wang Weineng,M26 tomb owner is Wang Weizheng,and speculated M13 tomb owner is Wang Liangchen.Through the study of unearthed burial objects according to their attributes,we can understand this family more clearly.Although the Wang family rose to military merit,the children of the family liked Confucianism more,and Wang Weizheng was both civil and military.Religious belief,there are Han Buddhism,Tibetan Buddhism,Taoism.In life,because of marriage with nomadic people,clothing,tableware,jewelry are diversified,found that the Wang family is a good learning,inclusive and innovative family.Wang Shixian family tomb before and after the burial of the comparative study,found that the Ming Dynasty tombs unearthed with the number of burial objects,types are inferior to the Yuan Dynasty.Jewelry patterns,materials have also undergone great changes,Ming Dynasty jewelry is not dragon lines,mostly for plant ornaments,materials also do not see turquoise,ruby,mostly pure gold and silver material.This change is related to the political status and economic strength of the Wang Shixian family in the Ming Dynasty.The Wang Shixian family is located in a special geographical location and political environment,and the burial objects unearthed in the tomb have been influenced by different cultures,mainly the traditional culture of the Central Plains,the surrounding nomadic culture,and the religious culture.Through the study of the burial objects of Wang Shixian family tombs,a new understanding of Wang Shixian family culture is obtained. |
