殉葬习俗起源于原始社会晚期,至殷商时期发展至顶峰。而以北魏实行的子贵母死制、突厥割体剺面葬仪为代表的北方少数民族的殉葬习俗同中原地区的汉族又有不同。这种不同既是研究少数民族源流的重要依据,也是北方少数民族葬俗文化的一部分。本文通过对鲜卑子贵母死制和突厥剺面习俗的探讨,分析出北方少数民族殉葬习俗的发展和演变的特点和规律。 The custom of sacrificial burial originated in the late primitive society, and reached its peak at Shang dynasty. In the Northern Wei Dynasty, there was a difference between the sacrificial burial custom of the northern ethnic minorities represented by the birth of your son and the death body of the deceased in the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Han people in the Central Plains. This difference is not only an important basis for studying the origin of ethnic minorities but also a part of the funeral culture of minorities in the north. This paper analyzes the characteristics and laws of the sacrificial burial custom of Xian Minority Nationalities in terms of the death of your mother and the customs of Turks.
