Dating back to more than 1,400 years ago, the Capital Site of China's Sui-Tang Period in Luoyang lies on both sides of the Luohe River and covers an area of about 47 square kilometers, with Tangsimen village of Baimasi town to its northeast, Chengjiao village of Lilou town to its southeast, Miaowan village of Mangshan town to its northwest and the intersection of Wangcheng Avenue and Gucheng Road to its southwest.

隋唐洛阳城遗址地跨洛河两岸,遗址东北至白马寺镇唐寺门,东南至李楼乡城角村,西北至邙山镇苗湾,西南至王城大道与古城路交叉口,面积约47平方千米,已有1400多年历史。


The capital was first built in 605 AD or the first year of Daye of Emperor Yangdi of the Sui Dynasty. In 657 AD or the second year of Xianqing of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, Luoyang was also the capital, widely known as Dongdu. In 684 AD or the first year of Guangzhai of Emperor Ruizong of the Tang Dynasty, Dongdu was renamed as Shendu. In 690 AD or the first year of Wuzhou Period (established by Wu Zetian), Dongdu was renamed as Luoyang, while in 761 AD or the first year of Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty, "Luoyang" was replaced by "Dongdu" again. In the late Tang Dynasty, the capital was destroyed in the war. The site remains today.

隋唐洛阳城始建于隋炀帝大业元年(605年),唐高宗显庆二年(657年)颁布《建东都诏》定洛阳为东都。唐睿宗光宅元年(684年),改东都为神都。天授元年(690年)武则天改唐为周,定都洛阳。唐肃宗元年(761年)复名东都。唐朝末年,毁于战火,遗址留存至今。


The site was listed among Henan's major historical and cultural sites protected at the provincial level in 1963, while among China's major historical and cultural sites protected at the national level in 1988.

隋唐洛阳城遗址,1963年列为河南省文物保护单位,1988年全国重点文物保护单位。

 

The Tombs of the Song Dynasty in Xuchang

河南许昌白沙宋墓


Located in Baisha village of Xuchang city, Henan province, a total of 3 tombs were built for Zhao Daweng and his family in the late Northern Song Dynasty. The No. 1 tomb in which Zhao Daweng is buried has 2 rooms respectively at its front and rear, while the No. 2 and No. 3 tombs have 1 room. The No. 1 tomb, a brick-chambered tomb with imitation wood structure, has a 7.26-meter-long passage connecting the square-shaped front room and the hexagon-shaped rear room, to the north of which the No. 2 and No. 3 hexagon-shaped tombs are located. All these 3 tombs are brick-chambered tombs with imitation wood structures.

白沙宋墓,位于河南禹州市花石镇白沙村,是北宋末年赵大翁及其家属的墓葬,共3座。一号赵大翁墓为前后室,二、三号为单室墓。赵大翁墓为砖室仿木建筑结构墓,分为前、后两室,前室呈扁方形、后室为六角形,中间有过道相通,过道长7.26米。另两座墓并列于赵大翁墓以北,均为平面呈六角形的单室墓,也是仿木建筑结构。

Among all the brick-chambered tombs with imitation wood structures popular in China's central and northern regions in the late Northern Song Dynasty discovered so far, they are the best-preserved and most complex ones, providing important data for the study of such tombs at that time.
