魏晋薄葬的形成是多方面因素综合作用的结果。动乱的社会环境,使薄葬成为维护统治的必要;最高者的以身作则、力行薄葬并且使之制度化、法令化,是薄葬能够维持长达两、三百年的有力保障;而汉末佛教传入、民族融合以及玄学等思潮的出现,又是薄葬能够在士大夫阶层直至民间广泛推行的思想因素。 The formation of the Wei-Jin funeral is the result of the combined effect of many factors. The turbulent social environment made the funeral necessary for the maintenance of the rule. The example of the highest person who set an example by example, tried to institutionalize and legalize the funeral is a strong guarantee for the funeral to last for two or three hundred years; The emergence of the currents of thoughts such as ethnic integration and metaphysics are the ideological factors that enable the funeral to be widely practiced among the scholar-officials and civilians.
