Title: Query on the Custom of "Huizang" of Gaogouli
Abstract: At present,there are some problems as for the Huizang custom of Gaogouli in academic circle.In this paper,the author thinks that before Changshouwang madding Pyongyang his capital,the custom of Huizang did not exist in Gaogouli.There is a tradition that the kings should take the capital as home.It is impossible to bury them faraway from the capital.Although when Changshouwang was alive,he had constructed his own mausoleum(Jiangjunfen) in the old capital(Guoneicheng),he was buried in the new capital Pyongyang eventually.Similarly,Tomb No.4 of Wukuifen in Guoneicheng is not Gao Jianwu's mausoleum either.It is unreasonable to think that it was an old tradition of second burial of those elites of Gaogouli who had emigrated to the Tang.The second burial of those elites of Gaogouli in the Tang dynasty just followed the local bury custom of the Tang dynasty,such as tombs of Quan Xiancheng,Quanbi of Gaogouli in Luoyang Beimang old grave.
