Abstract

The Chinese five thousand years history gave birth to a variety of doctrines, which collided, influence, change, compatible with each other and relatively independent, and ultimately formed a Confucianism-led, eclectic Taoist and Buddhism "birth and death" ideologies. After thousands of years of sedimentation and extraction, it has gradually become the Chinese nation's unique consciousness of life and death, moral culture and traditional habits standards subconsciously, and finally constitute characteristic funerary customs which is different from western countries. Therefore, it can contribute to the construction of our contemporary cemetery that research traditional Chinese funeral culture, views of life and death and make the comparative analysis with the West culture.
