The Crying StudentsMemory, Beliefs, and Burial Rituals 记忆、信仰与葬礼仪式HostsHannah, Communication StudiesWilliam, School of EnglishIntroduction死亡是每一个人终将面对、无可避免的人生课题。但是在死亡降临之后，往往是生者而非死者本身成了事件的核心。泉台青磷黯，人间笑语如常。如何应对亲人的离世，这种哀思如何被演变为一种仪式，仪式下魂灵又如何自处？在不同人的经历中我们或许可以管窥一些属于生者的空域：祖先崇拜的代际划分，亡者与生者的时空界限，不同信仰下的仪式差异、记忆的建构与维系，以及在记忆的有限时间尺度内人与自然的动态互动。Death is an inevitable reality that every individual must eventually confront. Yet when it arrives, it is often the living, not the deceased, who become the focal point of the event. The grave’s embers glow dim, but the world’s laughter and chatter carry on unchanged. How do we grapple with the loss of a loved one? How is grief transformed into ritual? And within these rituals, where does the soul reside? Through diverse human experiences, we may glimpse fragments of the living’s existential realm: the generational layers of ancestor worship, the spatiotemporal boundary between the dead and the living, variations in rites across beliefs, the construction and preservation of memory, and within memory’s finite horizon, the dynamic interplay between humanity and nature.
