摘要
2001年陕西华县东阳墓地发掘中,发现2座西周时期的火葬墓,周原扶风黄堆和最近发现的周公庙32号墓,也都发现有火烧现象,说明在周人统治的近畿或中心地区,也有火葬的习俗。据此,对关中地区西周火葬墓的形式、形成原因进行了探讨,认为这些火葬墓的存在是一种处理意外死亡、具有较高地位死者的葬俗。
In 2001, 2 Cremation Tombs of West Zhou-Dynasty were excavated in the cemetery of Dongyang , Huaxian county, Shannxi Provice. It shows that there is Cremation custom in the Central Shaanxi Plain which is the central dominion of West Zhou-Dynasty. The paper discusses the form and the reason of this Cremation custom and concluds that it is a custom for the high-ranking people who died accidentally.
