Reader comments
This book introduces ancient funeral culture in detail, giving me a deeper understanding of funeral customs. The characters' behaviors and personality traits in the book reflect the values and cultural traditions of the society at that time. By reading this book, I felt the ancient people's respect for death and valuing of life. Well worth reading!
It is now known that cremation in my country can be traced back to the Neolithic Age. There are cremation tombs at the Siwa site in Lintao, Gansu. "Liezi Tangwen" also records the cremation customs of Yiqu State in the west of Qin Dynasty.
It's not very detailed, but it's very helpful. You can take a look if necessary.
