中國古代 葬墓文化에 나타나는 風水觀念

Abstract

In this paper, the idea of Fengshui(風水觀念) in the funeral culture in Pre-Qin era of China was examined with classics and the books of Hundred Schools as reference. It’s an inevitable law that once a person is born, he or she cannot avoid death. Some people’s life goes well in the process of life while that of others doesn’t. The death verified in historic sites shows that, at the beginning, cemetery existed jointly. Of course, sometimes a person was buried there alone. This situation can be seen as an element of Fengshui idea. In Fengshui, water is the most important factor, and ancient people also couldn’t live apart from water. Burial(埋葬) had the meaning of hiding and putting away in order. When a person threw away a body, saw animals damaging it while passing by the place one day, and covered it, the loving affection between a parent and a child was working. It states the attraction of sympathy between an ancestor and a descendant. It’s the outcome of grave Fengshui, and it also states that one must follw the ways of nature. Life( 生) and death(死) take up important space and time in Fengshui. When one’s alive, he/she should rely on a house, and when one’s dead, he/she is buried in a grave site.
