Study Of Sacred Way Stone Statues In The Tombs Of The Kings Of The Jingjiang Domain In The Ming Dynasty

The feudal system of the Ming Dynasty was a special political system based on the feudal system of the Ming Dynasty,and its continuation was based on the ranking of the clans based on the proximity of the royal blood.Based on the feudal system,the continuation of the Ming clan system had political,economic and cultural impacts on both the central and local levels.In the history of the Ming dynasty,the King of Jingjiang had the longest clan lineage,and was one of the most distinguished kings of the clan,with his family burial site located in the Yao Shan area of Guilin,forming the King of Jingjiang’s tomb complex,which has both a joint clan burial and an exotic burial.As a famous Ming dynasty family burial group in the south,Jingjiang Wang Tombs has a long chronological span,and its Jingjiang feudal tombs have the comprehensive characteristics of relatively complete preservation,large number,rich types,distinctive artistic style,and certain evolutionary patterns,which have more room for research in terms of systematic field research,type analysis,and comprehensive evolutionary patterns,especially at the level of archaeology and cultural relics.It has a high academic research value especially in archaeology and cultural relics.In this regard,this paper will elaborate on the following six aspects of the study of the Sacred way stone statues of the Jingjiang clan,which will contribute to the study of the Ming dynasty clan system,local clan culture,and the construction of the Jingjiang Wangling National Archaeological Site Park.The text is divided into six parts.The first part is the introduction,which introduces the background of the topic,reviews the research on the Sacred way stone statues of King Jingjiang,and presents three views on their staging,as well as the content,innovation,theory and methodology of the research.In the second part,the historical background and characteristics of the construction of the tomb of King Jingjiang are reviewed,and the basic overview of the construction of the tomb of King Jingjiang is presented with historical documents and archaeological excavations.In the third part,the system of the stone statues of the tomb of the King of Jingjiang is reviewed and the characteristics of the stone statues are summarized,taking into account the literature and previous research.In the fourth part,based on the theories and methods of archaeological typology and the first-hand data obtained from the field survey,the analysis and study of the morphological and ornamental characteristics of individual stone statues are extended to the analysis and study of taxa.The fifth part is based on the archaeological typological analysis of the stone statues of the Sacred way tomb of the King of Jingjiang,and the fine typological staging study is carried out.By analyzing the evolution of the number of stone statues in the Sacred way tombs of the feudal lords of Jingjiang,and by combining the theories and methods of archaeological measurements,quantitative analysis,and graphical data analysis,we explore the evolution of the volume of the stone statues in the Shinto tombs of the feudal lords of Jingjiang,and summarize the evolution of the stone statues in the Sacred Way tombs of the feudal lords of Jingjiang from multiple perspectives by combining the evolution of the chronology and the evolution of the carving techniques and artistic styles.In the sixth part,two special Ming dynasty tombs of emperors and local feudal kings,namely the Obvious Tombs and the Lujian Wang Tombs,are selected for comparative analysis,and the existing similarities and differences between the Jingjiang feudal tombs and the tombs of emperors and kings in the north are explored in terms of carving techniques and artistic styles.The similarities,differences,and connections between the emperors,local feudal kings,and local feudal kings.The seventh part summarizes the above findings.
