A Chinese custom that refers to crying loudly in grief over the death of a person. It was formalized as a funeral ritual, and the way of crying, the number of times, and the place differed depending on the closeness of the blood relationship with the deceased. Sometimes hired mourners, mourners, male wailing servants, or female wailing maids were added to make the mourning. In Korea, there is a similar custom of the chief mourner and close relatives crying out "Aigou" at the funeral, beside the coffin. The Korean word "Aigou" is an exclamation used when one is in great pain, sad, exerts himself, is surprised, is unable to bear the pain, or is cornered.

中国の習俗で、人の死を悲しみ声をあげて泣くこと。形式化されて葬儀儀礼となり、死者との血縁関係の親疎により、泣き方、回数、場所などが異なり、雇われ泣き女や泣き男、哭人(クーリエン)(男)または哭婢(クーベイ)(女)を加えて号泣させることもあった。 朝鮮でも同じように葬礼のとき、葬主や近親が棺のそばで「アイゴウ」と叫んで悲しみ泣く習俗がある。朝鮮語の「アイゴウ」は、たいへん痛い、悲しい、力がいる、驚く、痛恨に耐えない、あるいは追い詰められたときに発する感嘆詞である。 [宮原兎一] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
