  • 碧山(英語:Bishan),新加坡中部一個社區,位於大巴窑以北,宏茂橋以南,实龙岗以西,面積大約3平方公里(1.2平方英里),主要為住宅區。其命名源自一個名為碧山亭(Peck San Theng)的廣東籍墳場。該墳場於1870年由來自廣州、惠州和肇慶的移民所建立,而新市鎮正正就建築於舊墳場之上。碧山是公教中學及萊佛士書院的所在地。 随着城市发展,土葬方式逐渐被淘汰,华人祭祖活动的许多繁文缛节也渐渐简化。过去,多数华人祭祖,都会到坟地去扫墓,而现在则是到骨灰安置所。就像碧山亭,也从当年的坟山,变成如今的骨灰安置所。 广惠肇碧山亭1870年成立,占地有115公顷,坟山面积相等于三分之二个碧山镇,总共有大约10万个坟墓,主要是广东人和客家人的埋葬地。碧山亭在1973年停止土葬,从1983年开始逐步改建成骨灰安置所。 碧山亭的坟墓有个特色。在这10万个坟墓之中,有些看似同行埋在一起,实际上这些叫做总坟。所谓总坟就是没有棺木的衣冠冢,供后人集体祭拜,即使往生者没有子孙还是能得到香火。总坟大致上有三类,一类是同行,一类是同姓,再一类,就是来自于同一个家乡。 碧山亭虽然是个坟山,但里头也有不少居民。当时这个村子就叫做“甘榜山亭”。村子的名字,与坟山内的建设有关。当年,坟山里头有12座亭子,给后人祭祖的时候歇脚用,也是大家用来指路的地标。 (zh)
