da-bi

"Differences in values​​."
This episode is described about it.

In short，at the time this episode was created，Cremation did not exist in China.
I think It was not common at least.

By the way, current Japan is generally cremation.
But cremation did not exist in Japan originally.

Cremation seems to have spread to Japan along with introduction of Buddhism to Japan.
China’s situation would be similar with Japan probably.（as to cremation.)　
　
Note：Cremation called 荼毘(da-bi) in Buddhism.
(荼毘 is transliteration of cremation of Pali.)
It's one of the important Buddhist ritual.

China Changsha. (長沙)　

Changsha is located originally in the country of Chu of the Warring States period.
Country of Chu was a large country in the south of China at that time.
(The destruction by Qin in 223BC.) 　
　
1971，noble tomb of the Han Dynasty initial were excavated at there.
And bodies of the marchioness was found in a complete form.
(Her death was around 195BC-187BC probably.)　

"She seemed to be alive."
It is said so.

Of course，this is a situation of China Southern at the time only.
But probably cremation will was not common in China yet.

In short，Buddhism will was not common in China yet.

"If so，what time China will became a cremation?"

I suddenly felt uneasy about it.
So I checked it on the net.

According to it.
Until recently, China seems to have been burial in general.
Cremation seems to have becoming popular more recently in China.
　
Therefore，cremation and the spread of Buddhism seems to be irrelevant in China.

This difference.
This is mere idea，but it may be differences in the way of acceptance of Buddhism.

Japan before Buddhism came over.
Gods from the old lived there of course.
But after Buddhism came over to Japan，they became Gods of Buddhism.

In short，Buddhism has absorbed the religion of ancient Japan.
(Although Buddhism also had been altered to Buddhism of Japan by this.)

By contrast，China.
Buddhist had been absorbed to Thoughts existing.
(Although Buddhism has existed as Buddhism of course.)
