明代皇陵陵园结构研究

Study on the Structure of the Emperors' Mausoleums of Ming Dynasty

明代皇陵的陵园结构是一种全新的布局,但6处18座明代皇陵因建成时代先后不一,陵园结构亦有所变化。大体说来,凤阳皇陵基本套用了宋陵制度,南京孝陵创立了新的陵园平面布局,北京长陵因之而小有改作,献陵以后各帝陵则进入定型守成期,诸陵之间只有细微的差异。

This paper Study on the emperors mausoleums of Ming Dynasty. First, the structure of different mausoleums of Ming Dynasty, including the mausoleum in Fengyang, the Xiao Mausoleum, the Chang Mausoleum and the mausoleums in Changping, is discussed and a comparison is made between the mausoleums of Ming Dynasty and those of Tang and Song Dynasties. Thereby, the basic characteristics of Ming' s mausoleum system are induced. Then the system of tomb chambers is studied based on the tomb chamber of the Ding Mausoleum, the only example discovered so far, and a tentative analysis is given for its function.
