关中唐陵的地理分布及其特征

唐代共有20座帝王陵墓,其中18座分布在关中北部坦荡如砥的平原和挺拔峻秀的崇山之间。从文献资料和考古资料来看,这些陵墓的规模不尽相同,在排列上也没有什么规律,但在制度上却是基本一致的。唐代帝王陵墓有“因山为陵”和“堆土成陵”两种形式。无论哪种形式的陵墓,都是唐王朝动用大量人力物力修成的,都在一定程度上反映了唐代的物质文明和精神文明。唐代帝王陵墓是宝贵的文化财富,具有很高的学术研究价值和旅游开发价值。

From historical records and archeological evidences, they are different in size, and their arrangement has no particular rules, but they are generally compatible systematically. There are two styles of mausoleums, i.e., either formed "in a mountain" or "by piling up earth".

The mausoleums of the Tang Dynasty are precious cultural heritage, having very high value both in academic research and tourism development.
