The history of tombs in China is a work of archaeological terminology.
Archaeology has become an independent discipline with scientific significance, which should start from the 18th century. Specifically, from 176 to 184, the French bourgeois revolution promoted the development of archaeology. China's original archaeology belongs to "exotic". With the change of international situation and the spread of academic knowledge, western archaeology spread to China after the First World War in 1918.
epigraphy was formed in the Northern Song Dynasty, and Ouyang Xiu was the pioneer of epigraphy. A student named Ceng Gong put forward the word epigraphy in The Record of Epigraphy. In the Qing Dynasty, Wang Mingsheng and others formally put forward the name epigraphy. Epigraphy refers to a kind of archaeology in the ancient traditional culture of China, and its main research objects are bronzes and steles of the previous dynasty, especially the inscriptions and rubbings on them. Broadly speaking, it also includes bamboo slips, Oracle bones, jade articles, bricks and tiles, clay, military symbols, funerary wares and other general cultural relics.
The study of epigraphy involves philology, history, calligraphy, literature, library science and so on. It appeared in the Han Dynasty, but it was most developed in the Song and Qing Dynasties. The excavation of Shi Guwen in the Song Dynasty and the discovery of Oracle Bone Inscriptions in the late Qing Dynasty are important milestones in epigraphy.
