7.3 墓志廊 The Corridors of Epitaphs

大家注意到墓志廊了吗?

在碑林回转的6条长廊上陈列着由魏至清的各代墓志。魏晋时严禁厚葬和立碑,但死者的亲属为了纪念死者,便将褒扬死者的言辞刻在石上,悄悄放入墓内。这种石刻后来就演变成墓志,墓志上的铭文称为墓志铭。

Along these six tortuous corridors,there are epitaphs from the Wei to the Qing dynasties.In the Wei and Jin periods,it was strictly forbidden to hold extravagant funerals for the dead and erect memorial tablets before their tombs.However,to commem orate the deceased,their families and relatives en graved on stone tablets words of compliment for the dead and placed the tablets secretly into their tombs.This type of stone engraving later gave rise to the emergence of epitaphs.
