| This ritual was not equally performed for all imperial mausoleums; mausoleums were distinguished into groups of different ranks, from important ones built for the close relatives of the imperial family to less important ones for distant relatives, and amounts of offerings made in rituals also differed between mausoleums. |
この祭祀はすべての陵墓に等しく行われたのではなく、重要視されたものは近陵・近墓、そうでないものは遠陵・遠墓とのランク分けがなされ、祭祀に際しての貢物の量が異なっていた。 |
