Research on place-of-production presumption of the vermilion in ancient Japan

2.研究概述朱砂用于装饰遗体和殡葬设施内表面的葬礼可以追溯到弥合时期，因为朱砂可以从公元前1世纪到公元2世纪的九州北部和近海地区北部日本海沿岸的墓地中得知，因此，在古代山朝出现之前，用朱砂埋葬的习俗可能从历史更长的中国传播到日本。在公元三世纪，大量的朱砂被纳入灰色的电子货物中，有些土堆的重量超过10公斤。这朱砂是从哪里来的？有谁看过海关？朱砂在日本盛产，用朱砂绘制的陶片是从日本时期的遗址中发现的。此外，日本历史上记载的几个朱砂矿仍然存在于大和王朝(Oku，1998)可以到达的地区。由于朱砂用于墓葬的时期见证了古代大和王朝的出现和随后的扩张，因此确定其来源对于研究日本古代史具有重要意义。

2. SUMMARY OF RESEARCH RESULTSThe funerary use of vermillion for decorating the physical remains and the inner surfaces of bur ial facilities goes back to the Yayoi period, as vermillion is known from cemeteries throughout no rthern Kyushu and the Japan Sea coast of the northern Kinki region dating from the first century B. C. to the second century A. D. Thus, the custom of using vermillion in burials presumably diffus ed to Japan from China, where it has a longer history, prior to the emergence of the ancient Yama to dynasty. In the third century, large quantities of vermillion came to be included among the gray e goods, with some mounds containing over 10kg. Where did this vermillion come from? Who sp read the custom? Cinnabar is abundant in Japan, and potsherds painted with cinnabar are known from Jmon period sites. In addition, several cinnabar mines recorded in Japanese history still exist in areas that were accessible to the Yamato dynasty (Oku,1998). As the period when vermillion was used in burial mounds witnessed the emergence and subsequent expansion of the ancient Yamato dynasty, determining its sources has significance for the study of ancient Japanese history.
