汉霸陵帝陵的墓葬形制探讨

On the Structure of the Baling Mausoleum of the Western Han Dynasty

《史记》记载汉文帝霸陵“不治坟”，由此引发了千百年来关于霸陵薄葬、厚葬之争，考古界又有崖墓与竖穴土（石）圹墓两种观点，孰是孰非？本文对霸陵帝陵的墓葬形制进行探索，希望能够还原历史真实。

The Baling Mausoleum of Emperor Wendi of the Western Han Dynasty does not have a tumulus on the ground. In the archaeological field, there are two viewpoints on its structure： one announces that it was a cliff tomb, and the other believes that it was an earthen （stone） shaft pit tomb. Analyzed through the historic literatures, the natural topography and the imperial burial tradition of the Western Han Dynasty, the structure of Baling Mausoleum would possibly be an earthen （stone） shaft pit tomb with four passages forming a cross-shaped plan, and the large tomb at Jiangcun might be the real Baling Mausoleum. Emperor Wendi＇s thrifty character and optimistic view on death would be the main reasons for not setting tumulus above his grave, while the admonitions of his officials might also have played a positive role.
