宋代是中国历史上火葬最为盛行的时期。徐吉军在《论宋代火葬的盛行及其原因》中(载1992年第三期《中国史研究》)对这一现象进行了全面考察。在北宋,都城汴京和河东地区是当时火葬最为盛行的地区。此外,湖北、山东等地也有火葬记载,如刘挚《忠肃集》卷13:“楚俗死者,焚而委其骨于野。”四川、浙江、福建、广东、江苏等地,虽然在北宋时已经出现了火葬现象,但尚未盛行,一般只在佛教徒中进行。但至宋室南迁以后,火葬迅速在广大南方地区盛行起来,并成为社会习俗。宋代火葬的盛行,给当时及后世社会造成了一系列的重大影响。一、使传统的、繁琐的儒家丧葬礼制遭受了沉重的打击,改变了宋代的伦理道德观。
The Song Dynasty was the most prevalent period of cremation in Chinese history. Xu Jijun made a comprehensive survey of this phenomenon in “On the Prevalence of Cremation in Song Dynasty and Its Causes” (Third Issue, “History of Chinese History”, 1992). In the Northern Song Dynasty, the capital Beijing and Hedong areas were the most prevalent areas for cremation at the time. In addition, there are also cremation records in places such as Hubei and Shandong, such as Liu Zhi’s “Zhong Su Jiji” Volume 13: “The dead of the Chu people and the burning of the bones in the wild.” "Sichuan, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangsu, Although cremation has occurred in the Northern Song Dynasty, it has not yet prevailed and is generally practiced among Buddhists. However, after the Song Dynasty moved southward, the cremation quickly became popular in the vast southern areas and became a social custom. The prevalence of cremation in the Song Dynasty caused a series of great influences to the society at the time and later. First, the traditional and tedious Confucian funeral rites suffered a heavy blow, changing the ethics and morality of the Song Dynasty.
