@article{oai:glim-re.repo.nii.ac.jp:00002539, author = {鶴間, 和幸 and Tsuruma, Kazuyuki}, issue = {1}, journal = {東洋文化研究, Journal of Asian cultures}, month = {Mar}, note = {application/pdf, To the northwest of the city of Qinhuangdao秦皇島in Heibei Province, in Wangfushi望夫石Village on the provincial border with Liaoning遼寧stands the mausoleum of MengjiangnU孟姜女. According to the legend, MengjiangnU is a tragic heroine who lived during the early days of the Qin Dynasty. Soon after marriage her husband was conscripted to work in the construction of the Great Wall. Concerned about his welfare, she followed him to the construction  site and found that he had been killed in a cave-in. While she wept, they found her husband’s remains in the rubble, and she then returned home with the body. However, MengjiangnU’s mausoleum  is actually situated on the site of the Ming period Great Wal1, while the Qin period Great Wall is located much farther north, clearly indicating that the legend is not from the Qin period. Indeed, legends of later eras not directly connected with the Qin period are not very helpful as historical source materials for its study;however, the situation changed greatly when in 19820n the seashore across the water from the Jiangnushi姜女石the remains of a large cluster of remote palaces from the Qin and Han periods were unearthed. The purpose of the present article is to trace more systematically the development from the Great Wall legend to the MengjiangnU legend in an attempt to discover historical facts about the Qin period from folklore of a later era.   The investigation reveals that the development of such Great Wall folklore as the MengjiangnU legend is connected to confusion concerning  historical sites that from its setting in the Jieshi ma石peaks on the Bohai seacoast. That is to say, Iegends lamenting the hardships  and casualties suffered by the anonymous masses who built the Great Wall were originally derived from tales of the wives of Qiliang 杞梁who lost their husbands in battle. The author estimates that the change of setting from the battlefield to the Great Wall and the creation of the MengjiangnU legend took place in pre-Tang China during the latter part of Wei and Jin eras of the Northern and Southern Dynasties period. Furthermore, the geographical location for the new Iegend, Yuwang禺王site in the Jieshi peaks on the Bohai seacoast, despite being a cluster of remote palaces completely unrelated  to the Great Wall built during the Qin and Han periods, is situated on the eastern edge of the Great Wall of the Northern Qi Dynasty of the Wei and Jin eras of the Northern and Southern Dynasties period. Jieshimen碍石門, formed by two rock shoals on the Bohai Coast, was inscribed as a monument to the first Qin emperor, but was later destroyed on purpose probably as an act of rebellion against the emperor. During the Wei and Jin eras of the Northern and Southern Dynasties period, the original Jieshi peaks, from which residents of the remote palaces high above the coast could look out on the mystical eastern sea, were forgotten, and replaced by towering inland Jiehi peaks climbed by emperors of the Northern Wei, Northern Qi, and Tang Dynasties to view the eastern sea. It was in this way that the Mengjiangnu mausoleum and JiangnUshi  came to be located on the Bohai Coast with no relation what so ever to the original Jieshi palaces of the Qin period. Nevertheless,  a historical setting forgotten in the historical record has been revived by the archeological excavation of the Qin and Han period Jieshi palaces on the Bohai Coast.}, pages = {15--32}, title = {秦始皇帝長城伝説とその舞台 : 秦碣石宮と孟姜女伝説をつなぐもの (伝統中国の政治理念と支配)}, year = {1999}, yomi = {ツルマ, カズユキ} }
