Entombed Epigraphy and Commemorative Culture in Early Medieval China

Entombed Epigraphy and Commemorative Culture in Early Medieval China
内容简介:

Timothy M. Davis presents a history of early muzhiming—the most versatile and persistent commemorative form employed in the elite burials of pre-modern China. While previous scholars have largely overlooked the contemporary religious, social, and cultural functions of these epigraphic objects, this study directly addresses these areas of concern, answering such basic questions as: Why were muzhiming buried in tombs? What distinguishes commemorative biography from dynastic history biography? And why did muzhiming develop into an essential commemorative genre esteemed by the upper classes? Furthermore, this study reveals how aspiring families used muzhiming to satisfy their obligations to deceased ancestors, establish a multi-generational sense of corporate identity, and strengthen their claims to elite status.


Timothy M. Davis, Ph.D. (2008) Columbia University, is an assistant professor of Chinese history at Brigham Young University. He specializes in the social, cultural, and literary history of medieval China.

    胜在内容丰富且非常踏实(可能是因为我相关的书看得少),对于墓志的发展、形制、相关社会文化政治背景、埋葬位置、地位等都有论述,如果要了解墓志及类似形式的材料这本可以说相当全面了。
