Xianyang Palace is the imperial palace of the Qin Dynasty, which is located in the west of Xi 'an City and the east of Xianyang City in Shaanxi Province.
in the twelfth year of Qin Xiaogong (the first 35 years), the state of Qin moved its capital to Xianyang to build a palace. By the time of the arrival of King Zhao of Qin, Xianyang Palace had been built.
Xianyang Palace was originally located on the northern terrace of Xianyang City, Qin Dou. During the process of Qin Shihuang's unification of the six countries, it was continuously expanded. According to records, Xianyang Palace "was built by Beiling", which was the place where Qin Shihuang was in power to "listen to things".
After Qin moved its capital to Xianyang, Xianyang Palace has always been a great place for emperors of all dynasties. When Qin Shihuang built the new dynasty palace-Epang Palace on the south bank of Wei River, he wanted to replace the dynasty palace in the north of Wei River-"the court of the late king", which was named as "Xianyang Palace" as a palace or palace.
The kings of Qin and Qin Shihuang received envoys and distinguished guests from various vassal states, held a grand state banquet for the emperor's birthday, and decided with the ministers that all state affairs were held in Xianyang Palace. Therefore, "Three Auxiliary Huang Tu" called Xianyang Palace "purple palace, like the emperor's residence".

During the more than 2, years of China's history, hundreds of emperors have emerged, and almost every emperor has built large-scale, luxurious and magnificent tombs, and these tombs have been built on auspicious soil and fertile land. In the emperor's mind, both are equally important. In the eyes of the world, it seems that people tend to pay more attention to the palace and despise the imperial tomb.
from the perspective of historical research, the importance of the imperial tomb is not worse than that of the imperial palace, and even more valuable. A palace can be inhabited by many emperors, and even used by several dynasties.
The Forbidden City in Beijing is the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Twenty-four emperors of the two dynasties lived there for 5 years. The Forbidden City has basically not changed much, so the palace can be inherited for decades or even hundreds of years. The most representative of imperial power is Baoxi, with 2 square Baoxi in Ming Dynasty and 25 square Baoxi in Qing Dynasty.
imperial tombs are different. One emperor has one mausoleum, which was built in different times. At that time, the political, economic, military, cultural, scientific and technological conditions of the country were different. Every emperor's hobbies and interests are different, so every imperial tomb has the distinctive characteristics of that era. Therefore, from the perspective of historical research, the imperial tomb is more important than the palace.
