Tang Zhaoling is not magnificent. Why did Emperor Taizong choose Zhaoling at that time?

The ground building in Zhaoling was destroyed, but it is believed that the underground building was not destroyed. On the one hand, the archaeological level and scientific and technological level of China are not mature, and the excavated cultural relics are not advanced and difficult to preserve. For example, some cultural relics are very bright when they are first excavated, and they rust soon after being preserved. Before science and technology are advanced enough, it is best to hide them underground.

Another reason is that we don't know the underground structure and structure of Zhaoling, just as we don't know the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor. Excavating such a tomb is a huge project, which requires overall planning and scientific work. It's complicated and needs long-term consideration.

Zhaoling is the mausoleum of Emperor Taizong and Empress Wende. It is the largest of the "Eighteen Tombs of the Tang Dynasty" in Guanzhong, Shaanxi. It is located on Jiuyang Mountain, 22.5 kilometers northwest of Liquan County, Shaanxi Province, 70 kilometers west of Xi, 30 kilometers west of Xianyang and 25 kilometers west of Xianyang International Airport.

196 1 year, the State Council announced Zhaoling as the first batch of key cultural relics protection units in China, and in 2002 it was rated as a "3A" level tourist attraction by the National Tourism Administration.

From the time when Empress Wende was buried in the tenth year of Zhenguan in Tang Dynasty (636) to the twenty-ninth year of Kaiyuan (743), the construction of Zhaoling took 107, with a circumference of 60 kilometers and an area of 200 square kilometers. * * There are more than 80 tombs/kloc-0, which are the "Eighteen Tombs of the Tang Dynasty" in Guanzhong and the imperial cemetery in China.

It is a representative imperial mausoleum in the Tang Dynasty, and is known as "the famous mausoleum in the world".

Zhaoling is a physical witness of the early Tang Dynasty to its prosperous Tang Dynasty, and a rare treasure house of cultural relics for understanding and studying the politics, economy and culture of the autocratic monarchy in Tang Dynasty and even in China.
