长期以来,史学界流行着宋代薄葬的传统观点。其实,这种看法并不确切。当我们检阅有关史籍及地下考古发掘资料后,便会深深地感受到:宋代是一个习尚厚葬的社会。下面,笔者就此问题作一探索,以求教于方家。一、宋代厚葬的社会现象宋代的厚葬,以帝王的丧事最为突出。在宋代的国丧中,除宋太祖、宋太宗“国家山陵送往,俭于前代”外,大多实行厚葬。如仁宗葬于昭陵时,朝臣范祖禹见“有缄封皮匣纳之方中者甚多,皆出于禁中”。由于仁宗“厚葬过礼”,因此“公私骚然”,大臣们纷纷上奏,“请损之”。神宗死,其葬事之厚又甚于仁宗。“受命宝及沿宝法物与平生衣服器用皆欲举而葬之”。 For a long time, the historiography popularized the traditional concept of funeral in Song Dynasty. In fact, this view is not exact. When we review the historical records and the underground archaeological excavations, we deeply feel that the Song Dynasty is a burial society. Below, I make an exploration on this issue, in order to learn from the Fang. First, the social phenomenon of burial in the Song Dynasty Thick burial in the Song Dynasty, the most prominent funeral of the emperor. In the Song Dynasty’s national funeral, most of the burial funerals were carried out except Song Taizu and Song Taizong, whose national mountains were sent to and frugal to their predecessors. When Renzong was buried in Zhaoling, courtiers Fan Zuyu see “there are many of them in the sealed pockets, all out of ban.” As Renzong “Funeral”, so “public and private”, ministers have played, “Please loss.” Shenzong death, its funeral thicker than Renzong. “Treasure Po and along the treasure and life clothes are all intended to use the device and buried.”
