东汉时期关中西汉帝陵的文化地位及影响

The Cultural Status and Influence of the Imperial Mausoleums of the Western Han Dynasty in Central Shaanxi in the Eastern Han Dynasty

秦汉时期的关中不仅是雄视天下的"天府之国",更是当时世界上的文明与文化高地。东汉皇帝为了绍继西汉,取得文化上的正统地位,对关中西汉帝王陵墓格外重视,从开国皇帝刘秀开始,就确立了定期拜谒、祭奠关中西汉十一陵的制度。刘秀之后的东汉皇帝,大都能继承刘秀的遗风,多次亲临西京长安,祭祀关中西汉帝陵,充分显示了关中西汉十一陵在东汉政治和礼仪文化体系中的重要地位。

The central Shaanxi area in the Qin and Han dynasties was not only＂the place of plenty＂dominating in the world,but also a prominent place of civilization and culture in the then world.The emperors in the Eastern Han dynasty paid special attention to the imperial mausoleums of the Han dynasty in order to inherit from the Western Han dynasty and gain the orthodox position in culture.Since the founding emperor Liu Xiu,the system was established of paying regular visits and offering sacrifices to the eleven mausoleums of the Western Han dynasty.The emperors of the Eastern Han dynasty after Liu Xiu,mostly able to inherit the practice left by Liu Xiu,went to Chang’an,the capital of the Western Han dynasty,for offering sacrifices to the mausoleums of the Western Han dynasty,which fully demonstrated the significant status of the eleven mausoleums of the Western Han dynasty in the political and cultural system in Eastern Han dynasty.
