集安洞溝(gou)(gou)古墓(mu)群位于(yu)吉(ji)(ji)林(lin)(lin)集安縣境內(nei),因有老嶺山(shan)脈自(zi)東北(bei)向西南貫穿全境,且河(he)流縱橫,景(jing)色宜(yi)人,素有東北(bei)"小江(jiang)南"之(zhi)(zhi)稱。同(tong)時,這里也(ye)是(shi)吉(ji)(ji)林(lin)(lin)省重點(dian)保護的(de)(de)名勝古跡。洞溝(gou)(gou)古墓(mu)群分(fen)布在群山(shan)環繞的(de)(de)洞溝(gou)(gou)平原(yuan)區(qu),這里有高句麗國(guo)建國(guo)700多(duo)年間遺留(liu)下來的(de)(de)墓(mu)葬達1萬余座(zuo),僅現存較(jiao)為完好的(de)(de)就有7160座(zuo)之(zhi)(zhi)多(duo)。這些(xie)古墓(mu)群分(fen)布的(de)(de)范圍(wei)極廣,綿延幾十里,加之(zhi)(zhi)墓(mu)類繁多(duo),內(nei)涵博大精深,不愧(kui)是(shi)中國(guo)少數(shu)民族地區(qu)古墓(mu)群之(zhi)(zhi)冠。
洞溝(gou)古(gu)墓(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)群可(ke)分(fen)為(wei)石(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)墓(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)與土墓(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)兩類。石(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)墓(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)有積(ji)(ji)石(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)墓(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)、方(fang)壇積(ji)(ji)石(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)墓(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)、方(fang)壇階梯(ti)積(ji)(ji)石(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)墓(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)、方(fang)壇階梯(ti)石(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)墓(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)。其中(zhong),積(ji)(ji)石(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)墓(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)現(xian)今(jin)保存下(xia)來的(de)(de)(de)(de)有1700余座(zuo),約占(zhan)整(zheng)個(ge)古(gu)墓(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)的(de)(de)(de)(de)四分(fen)之(zhi)一。在(zai)整(zheng)個(ge)墓(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)群中(zhong)為(wei)雄偉壯觀的(de)(de)(de)(de)便是(shi)(shi)公元4世紀中(zhong)葉高句(ju)麗(li)的(de)(de)(de)(de)王(wang)陵(ling)以(yi)及顯臣之(zhi)墓(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu),它們均是(shi)(shi)方(fang)壇階梯(ti)積(ji)(ji)石(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)墓(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu),現(xian)存的(de)(de)(de)(de)有400座(zuo)。它邊長85米(mi),現(xian)高15米(mi),占(zhan)地約10畝,石(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)墓(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)雖(sui)已坍塌,但(dan)仍可(ke)見許多(duo)的(de)(de)(de)(de)字(zi)磚殘段,如"千(qian)秋萬歲永固(gu)"等,此墓(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)為(wei)高句(ju)麗(li)大的(de)(de)(de)(de)王(wang)陵(ling)。此外(wai),將軍墓(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)是(shi)(shi)古(gu)墓(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)群中(zhong)保存為(wei)完(wan)好的(de)(de)(de)(de)方(fang)壇階梯(ti)石(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)墓(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu),亦(yi)是(shi)(shi)構(gou)筑嚴謹精良,被世人譽為(wei)"東方(fang)金字(zi)塔"的(de)(de)(de)(de)古(gu)代(dai)高句(ju)麗(li)石(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)造建(jian)筑的(de)(de)(de)(de)典(dian)范。墓(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)的(de)(de)(de)(de)底面積(ji)(ji)有960平方(fang)米(mi),墓(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)高12米(mi)半(ban),由1100多(duo)塊(kuai)巨型花崗巖石(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)條堆壘砌筑而(er)成。其中(zhong),僅小的(de)(de)(de)(de)護墳石(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)就有15噸重,經專家測定,這些石(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)材均采自于40里外(wai)的(de)(de)(de)(de)老嶺(ling)山綠水(shui)橋。如此繁(fan)重的(de)(de)(de)(de)石(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)料運(yun)輸在(zai)古(gu)代(dai)是(shi)(shi)如何完(wan)成的(de)(de)(de)(de),至今(jin)仍是(shi)(shi)個(ge)謎團。
公元5世紀(ji)后,建筑(zhu)龐大,耗財傷民的(de)(de)石筑(zhu)墓室逐漸被構(gou)筑(zhu)精巧的(de)(de)土墓所(suo)替代。高句麗民族素(su)有(you)(you)(you)(you)厚葬的(de)(de)習俗(su),因此這些(xie)古墓群中均藏(zang)有(you)(you)(you)(you)大量的(de)(de)古代文(wen)物(wu)。現已挖掘出的(de)(de)有(you)(you)(you)(you)價(jia)值的(de)(de)葬藏(zang)文(wen)物(wu)就有(you)(you)(you)(you)數千件(jian)。此外,除了洞溝古墓群外,高句麗國骸遺留下來許多的(de)(de)文(wen)化遺跡,較為有(you)(you)(you)(you)名的(de)(de)如:關(guan)馬山(shan)城(cheng)(cheng)、丸都山(shan)城(cheng)(cheng)、霸(ba)王朝(chao)山(shan)城(cheng)(cheng)等,俱是研(yan)究歷史文(wen)化的(de)(de)寶(bao)庫。
1961年國(guo)務院(yuan)公布(bu)洞溝古墓群為全國(guo)重點(dian)文(wen)物保(bao)護(hu)單位。

墓群(qun)中的冉牟(mou)(mou)墓保(bao)存有一(yi)篇墨書題(ti)記(ji)(ji),正文79行(xing)(xing),每行(xing)(xing)10字(zi),縱橫間以界格,另有題(ti)首2行(xing)(xing),全文約800多(duo)字(zi),惜(xi)已嚴重(zhong)漫漶,可(ke)辨識者約 350余(yu)字(zi)。題(ti)記(ji)(ji)從(cong)左至右豎行(xing)(xing)隸(li)書,有魏晉(jin)南(nan)北(bei)朝(chao)寫經(jing)書法風格,工(gong)整(zheng)流暢。根據(ju)題(ti)記(ji)(ji)可(ke)知墓主(zhu)人冉牟(mou)(mou),先(xian)祖追隨(sui)高句(ju)(ju)麗始祖鄒牟(mou)(mou),官至大兄。題(ti)記(ji)(ji)是受冉牟(mou)(mou)先(xian)世官恩的奴客牟(mou)(mou)頭(tou)婁(lou)(lou)為主(zhu)人撰寫的,記(ji)(ji)述了高句(ju)(ju)麗建國神話牟(mou)(mou)頭(tou)婁(lou)(lou)受派(pai)遣去(qu)北(bei)夫余(yu)供職等(deng)事,涉及(ji)高句(ju)(ju)麗職官制度、人身隸(li)屬關(guan)系、社會(hui)階(jie)層(ceng)等(deng)級等(deng)情形(xing),具有重(zhong)要研究(jiu)價值。
盡管幾乎所有(you)古墓(mu)(mu)都曾遭盜掘,多年(nian)來的(de)(de)清理發(fa)掘工作仍(reng)然為了(le)解高(gao)句麗(li)葬(zang)(zang)俗積(ji)累了(le)豐富的(de)(de)資料(liao)。高(gao)句麗(li)前(qian)期(qi)(qi)的(de)(de)積(ji)石(shi)墓(mu)(mu)、方壇積(ji)石(shi)墓(mu)(mu)和階壇積(ji)石(shi)墓(mu)(mu)的(de)(de)石(shi)壙,經常發(fa)現燒熔(rong)的(de)(de)石(shi)塊和燒骨,說明在這(zhe)個階段(duan)火葬(zang)(zang)相當(dang)盛(sheng)行;這(zhe)些墓(mu)(mu)葬(zang)(zang)往(wang)往(wang)自山(shan)坡(po)至山(shan)麓(lu)排(pai)(pai)列有(you)序,有(you)的(de)(de)墓(mu)(mu)葬(zang)(zang)后壁(bi)即利用上坡(po)先期(qi)(qi)墓(mu)(mu)葬(zang)(zang)的(de)(de)前(qian)壁(bi),一座(zuo)(zuo)連一座(zuo)(zuo)成串地進行埋葬(zang)(zang),這(zhe)種(zhong)現象(xiang)反映了(le)高(gao)句麗(li)前(qian)期(qi)(qi)的(de)(de)族葬(zang)(zang)制(zhi)度;另(ling)外,大(da)型(xing)階壇石(shi)室(shi)墓(mu)(mu)和封土石(shi)室(shi)墓(mu)(mu)北側(ce),往(wang)往(wang)有(you)4~5座(zuo)(zuo)東西排(pai)(pai)列規模稍小的(de)(de)陪(pei)墳,似乎意味著高(gao)句麗(li)王族有(you)陪(pei)葬(zang)(zang)的(de)(de)風(feng)習。多年(nian)來,洞溝墓(mu)(mu)群中發(fa)掘、征集采集的(de)(de)文物達數千件,包括有(you)金、銀(yin)、銅、鐵(tie)、鉛、鎏(liu)金、陶(tao)、釉陶(tao)、瓷、玉、石(shi)、漆、木、絲、麻(ma)等(deng)各種(zhong)質料(liao)制(zhi)成的(de)(de)生產工具(ju)、生活用具(ju)、武(wu)器(qi)、馬(ma)具(ju)和裝飾品等(deng),為研究高(gao)句麗(li)考(kao)古提供了(le)大(da)量實(shi)物資料(liao)。
洞溝古墓群在東北(bei)亞歷史上(shang)占有重(zhong)要地位。中華人民共和國建立后,受到政(zheng)府高度(du)重(zhong)視(shi),1958年(nian)(nian)成立了專門文物保護(hu)機構。1965年(nian)(nian)對墓群進(jin)行全(quan)面著錄和測繪,樹立標志,在重(zhong)點墓葬周(zhou)圍(wei)加(jia)修(xiu)圍(wei)墻或圍(wei)欄,并對壁(bi)畫作了化學(xue)封護(hu)。
公元5世紀(ji)后,建筑龐大,耗財傷民的石筑墓室逐漸被(bei)構筑精(jing)巧的土墓所替代。高句(ju)麗(li)(li)民族素有(you)(you)厚葬(zang)的習俗,因此(ci)這(zhe)些古(gu)墓群(qun)中(zhong)均藏(zang)有(you)(you)大量的古(gu)代文(wen)(wen)物(wu)。現已(yi)挖掘出的有(you)(you)價值(zhi)的葬(zang)藏(zang)文(wen)(wen)物(wu)就有(you)(you)數(shu)千件。此(ci)外(wai),除了洞溝古(gu)墓群(qun)外(wai),高句(ju)麗(li)(li)國骸遺(yi)(yi)留下來(lai)許多的文(wen)(wen)化(hua)(hua)遺(yi)(yi)跡,較為有(you)(you)名的如:關馬山城(cheng)(cheng)、丸都(dou)山城(cheng)(cheng)、霸王朝山城(cheng)(cheng)等,俱是研究(jiu)歷史文(wen)(wen)化(hua)(hua)的寶庫。
