摘　　要：战国楚墓根据墓主的等级将椁内分隔成多个室,其分室的目的是要分门别类地来放置随葬品和葬具。既然椁内单独构筑成放置棺的棺室,那么在棺室内的木构殓具均属于棺,即使是用厚木板垒砌的葬具,也应属于棺,而不能视为“内椁”或“里椁”。只有这样认定才符合文献记载的棺椁使用制度。During the Warring States period,the coffin in tombs of the Chu State was often divided into several compartments according to the tomb occupant s social ranks.It was so done to place grave goods and burial containers by their categories.Since that a casket was intentionally formed within the coffin,any wooden burial containers within the coffin-including funeral containers composed of thick planks-should be characterized as belonging to the casket instead of the inner coffin.Such a distinction between casket and coffin has to be made so as to conform to what the written records say about ancient burial systems.
