Abstract   

  This article is a study that analyzes the character data of the Chinese tomb related to the ink writing of the Goguryeo mural tomb and examines the relevance of the tomb to Goguryeo. Through this research, I tried to confirm the process of the propagation-acceptance-fixation-ex-tinguishment of the Chinese character culture from the tomb to Goguryeo. In addition, it became clear that ink writing functions separately from the viewpoints of the ordering, producer and viewer of the mural tomb. I analyzed the literal material of the Chinese tomb. It is thought that the ink painting of the Goguryeo mural mound was born in the Goguryeo culture, where the mound is the original graveyard system. Therefore, this article tried to find out the contact point of the ink painting of the Goguryeo mural tomb, assuming the relationship between the Chinese burial culture and the letters found there. 

  In the study, I looked at the genealogy of the cemetery culture that influenced Anak Tomb No. 3. By tracing the track of Anak Tomb No.3's buried man Dongsu's track and analyzing the structural features of the mural tomb in China's Liaoning region, I could confirm that Anak Tomb No.3 was a landmark tomb different from the existing one in Nakrang-Daebang region. Anak Tomb No.3 was structurally heavily influenced by tombs in the Liaoning area, at that time there was no technical basis yet to build a full-fledged mural tomb like that in the Liaoning region. In other words, Anak Tomb No.3 was a landmark tomb in Goguryeo's tomb culture. Of course, Anak Tomb No.3 has greatly influenced the construction of Goguryeo tombs.
