The Beauty of Qianling: Appreciating the Magnificence and Glory of Ancient Royalty!

Qianling, one of the dazzling eighteen tombs of the Tang Dynasty in Guanzhong, Shaanxi, is located on Liangshan, six kilometers north of the county seat of Qian County, Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province. Here lie Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi and Empress Wu Zetian, jointly guarding their royal dream. The mausoleum city wall is heavy, each side of the inner city has its own characteristics, with a total length of more than 5,300 meters and a total area of nearly 2.4 million square meters, fully demonstrating the royal majesty. Qianling was built in the first year of Tang Guangzhu in 684 and completed the main construction in the second year of Shenlong in 706. The unique architectural style of the mausoleum based on the mountain makes it stand out. The most eye-catching here is the grand layout of the mausoleum and the many exquisite Tang Dynasty stone carvings, which are like witnesses of history, telling the past glory. In addition to the main tomb, Qianling also has seventeen small accompanying tombs, witnessing the life and death of the royal family and meritorious officials. Qianling, with its intact main tomb preservation status, has become the best among the eighteen tombs of the Tang Dynasty and is the only Tang tomb that has not been robbed. On March 4, 1961, Qianling was listed as the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units by the State Council, establishing its important position in China's historical and cultural heritage. Time flies, on April 18, 2023, the Qianling site officially became the fourth batch of national archaeological site parks, officially joining the national team's big family. This honor is not only an affirmation of Qianling's historical value, but also an expectation for its future protection and development.
