Abstract: The study of National Archaeology of tombs in the Tang and Song Dynasties aims to break through the limitation of relying on documents to prove each other, and reveal the ideological concepts and social and cultural motivation behind the funeral practice by introducing local folk materials. This paper emphasizes the importance of national archaeological methods, and advocates the combination of living folk materials and direct historical methods to construct a three-dimensional interpretation framework of archaeological remains, documents and folk practices. Folk custom materials fill the gap between Archaeology and literature, promote the transformation of Archaeology in the historical period from "verifying classics and supplementing history" to "reconstructing society", and deepen the understanding of the cultural connotation and social changes of tombs in the Tang and Song dynasties.
