Eastern Zhou Period the line"Da Che"in the"Wang Feng"Section of the"Book of Songs"
The line"In death,the same grave"from"Da Che"in the"Wang Feng"section of the"Book of Songs"reflects the emotional conflict experienced by men and women in the Luoyang region during the Eastern Zhou period,who were unable to unite due to social status differences.Traditional studies have focused primarily on the emotional expression in the poetry,with less attention paid to whether this line reveals actual burial practices.This paper analyzes the practices of joint burial and sacrificial customs during the Eastern Zhou period to explore whether this line genuinely reflects the burial customs of the time.The study suggests that"In death,the same grave"may reflect the transition from primary use of separate burial chambers for couples to a focus on shared graves.Additionally,this phrase might be related to the phenomenon of sacrificial burial.This analysis not only deepens the understanding of the social and cultural background of the"Book of Songs"but also provides a new perspective on the study of ancient burial customs.
