Wind tomb

{{Short description|Tomb commemorating persons with missing bodies}}

A wind tomb (Hán-Nôm: 墓逾; or seance grave, wind grave; Vietnamese "Mộ gió") is an empty tomb that does not contain a person's corpse. As with wind graves, which are "tumuli" or rounded mounds of earth, wind tombs are typically made by families or loved ones to commemorate a person whose body cannot be found, such as those lost at sea or who have died in combat.{{Cite web|url=http://www.vanhoahoc.edu.vn/nghien-cuu/van-hoa-viet-nam/van-hoa-to-chuc-doi-song-ca-nhan/2076-le-hong-khanh-mo-gio-hinh-nhan-va-le-khao-le-the-linh-hoang-sa-.html|title=wind tomb, human and military ceremony that longing margin Paracel Then and Now Magazine, No. 353, page 53.|date=|website=vanhoahoc.edu.vn (Trung tâm Văn hóa học Lý luận và Ứng dụng)|author=Le Hong Khanh}}
