目次一、墓葬的发现与分期二、各期墓葬的基本特征三、墓葬演变的轨迹四、结语一、墓葬的发现与分期洛阳在隋唐两代被称为东京及东都,在公元六至十世纪的三百余年间,是仅次于都城长安的又一政治中心,同时,在经济、军事、文化、交通、漕运诸方面也占据着举足轻重的地位。武则天秉政时期,曾一度改东都为神都,修建明堂,熔铸九鼎,立武氏七庙,迁雍、同等七州十万户以实洛阳,骤然间宫林苑囿蜂起,声色服玩云集,使洛阳的政治、经济地位更加显要。

Over 600 tombs of the Sui and Tang Dynasties have been discovered up to now in Luoyang area, the location of the Eastern Capital of the two dynasties and at the same time an economic, military, cultural and communications center of theirs. According to 129 published tombs, especially the results of study and analysis of the material from 44 dated ones of them in respects of the development and changes of tomb shape and structures and the composition and characteristics of funerary objects, these tombs can be divided into four periods. The first period covers the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, corresponding in time roughly to the late 6th century to the 7th century. The second period coincides with the flourishing period of the Tang Dynasty, which began in the late 7th century. The third period occupies the middle Tang Dynasty, which lasted from the middle 8th century to the beginning of the next one. The fourth period corresponds to the late Tang Dynasty viz. from the 9th century to the early years of the 10th. The article shows clear traces of the development and changes of the tombs of the Sui and Tang Dynasties in their shape and structure, and in the composition of their funerary goods, includingpottery figurines and vessels, porcelain, gold and silver objects, coins, bronze mirrors and epitaphs. All these lead us to a systematic understanding of the periodization of the Sui and Tang tombs discovered in Luoyang area.
