AB - Traditionally, Goguryeo has valued the memorial services held before the grave. However, in considering the epigraph produced around 5th century as well as the archaeological relics of the time, we can see that they had become less and less important while the royal ancestor’s shrine had become more important. This trend went on for a while after then. Examining the shift in the status of memorial services held before the grave, we can say that there was a turning point between 4th century and 5th century. There are multiple factors that led to the shift in their status. There was a transition after the late 4th century. As Buddhism spreaded to Goguryeo, people accepted the rebirth thought and the idea of free soul. As a result, they did not consider tomb as important any longer. Additionally, it was hard to preserve tombs because there always was the chance of war. As the idea of genealogy got reinforced, progenitor’s tomb got more and more attention. This led to the reform of the ancestor’s shrine ritual. It is not the result of the acceptance of Chinese culture; rather, it implies that the society of Goguryeo caused its own change.
