A Comparative Study on the Ancient Funeral in Korea and Japan

当我们比较日本和韩国的古代葬礼时，可以看到一些关系可以追溯到公元前400年左右，当时一种水稻作物被带到了日本。随着人们的到来，流行于韩国南部的石门墓葬被引入九州北部，并在绳门晚期末至弥生早期以集体墓葬的形式建造。但在传播到其他地区之前，木棺葬和石棺葬被引入，并在日本许多地方被接受。在前弥生时期的后半段，成人墓葬由儿童墓葬发展而来，并遍及九州。在韩国，三国时代的葬礼改为木室葬和石室葬。但它们并没有像以前那样被引入日本。公元4世纪，廊道式石室被推广，并逐渐传播到匹克切和卡亚地区。它们于公元4世纪末传入九州北部，5世纪下半叶传入金井地区。通过对墓葬形式、丧葬用具等丧葬形式的比较研究，可以看出古代日韩两国的关系随着时代的变化而有所不同。近年来，与日本非常相似的考古发现在韩国有所增加。今后，随着研究的深入，有必要对日韩两国进行更详细的比较研究。

When we compare the ancient funerals in Japan and Korea, some relations can be seen since around 400 B.C., when a rice crop was brought into Japan. Along with the comings of people, dolmen burials, which were popular in southern part of Korea, were introduced into northern Kyushu, and they were constructed as group tombs from the end of the late Jomon period to the early Yayoi period. But before they spread to other areas, wooden coffin burials and stone coffin burials were introduced and were accepted in many places in Japan. In the latter half of the former Yayoi period, jar burials for the adults developed from those for children were formed, and they spread all over Kyushu.In Korea, in the era of three kingdoms, funerals were changed to wooden chamber burials and stone chamber burials. But they were not introduced into Japan as they were. In the 4th century corridor-style stone chambers were generalized and gradually spread to Peakche and Kaya regions. They were introduced into northern Kyushu in the end of the 4th century and spread to Kinai district in the latter half of the 5th century.Through the comparative study on funerals including the form of tombs and funerary equipment, we could make it clear that the relationship between Japan and Korea in ancient times was different with the change of times. In recent years, the archaeological finds that are very similar to those of Japan have increased in Korea. In the future, the more detailed comparative study between Japan and Korea will be necessary as the research goes on.
