Political use of corpses refers to the use of the bodies of the dead for political purposes.

Examples

  • Empress Dowager Lu was buried with honors due an empress dowager. However, after her burial, her body was disinterred as a magical means of cursing her grandson Liu Zixun. It was only in 468, long after Liu Zixun had been defeated, that she was reburied. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lu_Huinan
