Bai-sha Song-mu Tomb

Japanese: 白沙宋墓 - はくさそうぼ（英語表記）Bai-sha Song-mu

A group of Song dynasty tombs in Baisha Town, 2.5 km northwest of Yu County, Henan Province, China. The group of tombs is located about 1 km north of Baisha Town, across the Ying River, at the foot of Mt. Song. Excavations were carried out by the Henan Provincial Cultural Relics Preservation Committee and others in 1951-52, and three Song tombs were investigated. All of them have underground brick-built burial chambers. The tomb of Zhao Dayong, from 1099, is divided into two chambers, a front and a back, with four walls made of brick pillars, the front chamber has a box-shaped ceiling with a lid-style top, and the back chamber has a lid-style truncated six-petaled peak. The other two tombs are slightly later in date, but both are made of brick to represent wooden architecture of the time, and the murals on the walls give a glimpse into the lives of the upper classes at the time.

中国河南省禹県の北西 2.5kmの白沙鎮にある宋代の墓葬群。墓葬群は白沙鎮の北約 1km，潁水の対岸，嵩山の山麓に位置している。発掘は 1951～52年に河南省文物保管委員会などによって行われ，3基の宋墓が調査された。いずれも地下に塼築 (せんちく) の墓室を設けたもので，元符2 (1099) 年の趙大翁墓は，前後の2室に分れ，4壁には塼積みの柱があり，前室は宝蓋式の箱形頂の組天井，後室は宝蓋式の截頭六瓣の尖頂をしていた。他の2基の墓はこれよりやや時代が下るが，いずれも当時の木造建築を塼によって表現し，描かれた壁画からは当時の上層階級の生活がしのばれる。
