Tang Xianling is the mausoleum of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan. The mausoleum faces south from the north, and the soil is sealed as a mausoleum, which is in the shape of a covered bucket, and the plane is rectangular. There is an 8-meter-high Huabiao outside the south gate, with squatting beasts on the top and dragons carved on the bottom. The octagonal column is full of patterns, which looks solemn and solemn. Xianling stone carvings have a strong artistic style of the early Tang Dynasty and are precious material materials for studying the history of the Tang Dynasty.
In the ninth year of Tang Zhenguan (AD 635), Li Yuan died and was buried in Xianling. Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty built the Xianling Mausoleum according to the specifications of the original mausoleum of Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty. At the beginning of the construction of the Xianling Mausoleum, there was no mausoleum, and it was divided into inner and outer cities, with a grand scale. The stone carvings of Xianling are thick and simple, strong and unrestrained, with a resolute and steady shape, and a majestic majesty. Except for one of these stone rhinoceros and stone tigers, which have been moved into the stone carving room of Shaanxi Provincial Museum, the others are kept in front of the tomb.
