Features: Qianling is the joint tomb of Emperor Gaozong of Tang and Empress Wu Zetian, located on Mount Liang in Qian County, Shaanxi Province to the northwest. This mausoleum is magnificent in scale and rich in cultural relics, earning the title of "Crown of Tang Tombs in Guanzhong" and being representative among the imperial tombs of Tang emperors. The culture of Qianling is profound and extensive, worthy of in-depth study. Qianling culture consists of both material and spiritual culture, with connotations broader than those discussed by Zhao Shi. Studying Qianling culture not only provides important references for excavating, organizing, and promoting traditional Chinese culture but also greatly advances the multi-dimensional exploration of Tang culture. Additionally, it reflects the overall level of academic research on Qianling, making it of great significance. Qianling is the crown of Tang tombs, a microcosm of the Great Tang Empire, and a precious legacy left to us by the Tang people. We have the responsibility to further strengthen the research and protection of Qianling.
