悬棺葬是一种“棺而不瘗,置诸高崖”的葬俗。特点是:棺木不埋入土中,而把它放在峭壁危崖之上。此种葬俗流行的时间长,分布的地区广,与此葬俗有关的古代民族也众,故葬具、葬式又多所不同,随葬物之文化面貌各殊,置诸高崖的方法颇为多样。因此,关于悬棺葬的族属问题,在研究过程中,似应包括互相联系的两个方面,即:某一地区行悬棺葬者属于何族;诸行悬棺葬者是否同属于一族系?换言之,即在讨论中,解决历来行悬棺葬的南方诸族,在族源上是否有直接的关系。这个问题涉及面很宽,目前意见分歧尚多,暂时还难解决。本文只就百越和百濮文化比较中的某些侧面,提出若干粗浅的看法,以就正于专家、学者们。 Hanging coffin is a “coffin without delay, placed high cliff ” funeral custom. Features are: The coffin is not buried in the earth, and put it on the precipice cliff above. Such funeral customs popular for a long time, the distribution of a wide area, and the funeral of the ancient ethnic groups are also numerous, so the burial supplies, burial there are different, burial objects of different cultural characteristics, placed high cliff quite quite Diverse. Therefore, regarding the ethnicity of the coffin, in the course of the study, it may be desirable to include two aspects that are related to each other, namely: where are the coffin coffins belonging to any area and whether the coffin coffins belong to one family In other words, in the discussion, whether there is a direct relationship between the ethnic groups in the southern ethnic groups that have historically been hanging coffins. The scope of this issue is very wide. At present, there are still many differences of opinion and it is still hard to be solved yet. This article only on some of Baiyue and Bai Pu cultural comparison in some aspects, put forward some superficial views, just as experts and scholars.
