懿得太子墓

The Tomb of Crown Prince Yide

这里是今天的第二个景点，懿德太子墓。

懿德太子李重润是唐中宗李显的长子，因不满武则天的专制，公元701年于洛阳被处死，时年19岁。公元705年，李显复位后，追封其为懿德太子，公元706年其墓由洛阳迁来陪葬陵墓。1971年7月至1972年5月对该墓进行了发掘。其墓有封土堆和围墙，围墙南有石狮1对，石人2对（1对只残留底座），石华表1对（已残，倒塌后埋入地下）。墓由墓道、3个过洞、7个天井、8个小阖、前后甬道、前后墓室等8个部分组成，全长100.8米。

此墓规模宏大，随葬品十分丰富。墓内壁画比较完整，有40幅，分别绘在墓道、过洞、天井、前后甬道和前后墓室墙壁上。题材有仪仗队、青龙、白虎、城墙、阙楼、乐伎、男仆、宫女等，显示出李重润的显赫地位和特殊身份。如仪仗队中，永泰公主有12戟，章怀太子有14戟，而李重润则有48戟，属帝王一级。仪仗队有196人，由步队、骑队和车队3个部分组成，阵容庞大，气势不凡。还有《架鹰图》、《侍女图》等。《侍女图》在墓前室，南北对称，各有宫女7人。这些壁画色彩绚丽，画中人物姿态各异，真实地反映了唐代宫廷的日常生活。这批壁画琳琅满目，技巧娴熟，犹如一个唐代地下绘画展览，是陕西唐墓壁画的一次重要发现。

石椁内外的线刻画很细致，具有唐代线刻画线条流畅刚劲、明快的特点。懿德太子墓出土的文物有1 000多件，有陶俑、三彩俑、陶器和金、铜、铁器等。

接着我们去参观法门寺。

This is our second destination today，the Tomb of Crown Prince Yide.

Prince Yide，called Li Chongrun，was the first son of Li Xian，the fourth emperor of the Tang Dynasty.He was killed in Luoyang in 701 AD for his anger over Wu Zetian's dictatorship.He was only 19 years old then.In 705 AD，when Li Xian returned to the throne，he was awarded posthumously the title of Crown Prince Yide.In the year of 706 AD，his body was moved from Luoyang to the Qianling Mausoleum area and was buried in a satellite tomb.The excavation of the Tomb of Crown Prince Yide was carried out from July 1971 to May 1972. There was a mound and an enclosure wall.To the south of the wall were a pair of stone lions，two pairs of stone figures（one was destroyed and only the pedestal remains），and a pair of obelisks（destroyed and buried in the earth）.The tomb consists of a tomb passage，three doors，seven skylights，eight niches，front and back tunnels as well as front and back tomb chambers.It is 100.8 meters long.

The tomb is large and abundant with burial arti cles.There are 40 well－preserved mural paintings on the wall of the tomb passage，doorways，sky lights，front and back tunnels as well as front and back chambers.The paintings consist of guards of honor，a Blue Dragon，a White Tiger，city walls，watch towers，musicians，men servants and maids of honor.These show Li Chongrun's special identity and extraordinary status.Using the mural“Guards of Ho－nor”for example，in the Tomb of Princess Yong tai，twelve halberds were painted on the wall；in the Tomb of Prince Zhanghuai，14 halberds were painted；yet in this tomb，48 halberds were painted just as in an imperial mausoleum.The mural painting entitled“Guards of Honor”depicts 196 guards of honor in three parts：infantrymen，cavalrymen and chariots.They look strong and powerful.There are also mural paintings entitled Out for Hunting and Maids of Honor.The two mural paintings entitled Maids of Honor are found symmetrical on the south and north walls of the front chamber，each consis ting of 7 maids.Rich in color and different in carri age，the Maids of Honor truly represents daily court life in the Tang Dynasty.These mural paintings in the Tomb of Prince Yide are reflection of high artistic attainments.They constitute an underground exhibi tion of the Tang mural paintings.The excavation of the tomb has brought about an important discovery of the Tang Dynasty mural paintings in Shaanxi.

The carved sketches on both sides of the stone coffin are fine and smooth，and they give a good expression to the features of the Tang－style carved sketches：smooth，clear and powerful.More than 1 000 historical artifacts have been unearthed from the Tomb of Crown Prince Yide，including pottery figures，tri－colored glazed figures，earthen ware as well as gold，bronze and iron ware.

Now we will go to visit the Famen Temple.
