龙首原和隋唐长安城

隋唐长安城建在龙首原上,和汉长安城不同,龙首原高亢,原上亦复参差不平,隋唐长安城正是利用这样的地形,区别皇城、宫城和外郭城以及官署民居的划分,显得错落有致。龙首原既高亢,供水可能成为问题,隋唐长安城却开凿渠道,引交水、水、沪水以及义谷水入城,遍及各处,较汉长安城更为方便。这都显示隋唐长安城对于自然环境的善为利用,值得后世珍视。

The Longshou Plateau and Chang' an City of the Sui-Tang Times

Different form the Han Dynasty, Chang' an City of the Sui--Tang Times was built on the Longshou Plateau which was notonly high but also rugged and uneven. The designers of Chang'an City of the Sui-Tang Times just utilized such terrain to distinguish apalace city", "emperor city", "outer wan city", officialoffices, People's residences and so on. So the layout of wholecity was well-organized. To solve the problem of water supplywhich caused by the high terrain, the constructors of Chang' anCity in' Sui-Tang Times digged ditches and diverted Jiao, Jue,Can and Yigu Rivers into the city's eveny corner. Tt's moreconvenient for the residents to use water. These showed the designers of Chang' an City of the Sui-Tang Times were very goodat making wse of the natural environmant. Such wisdom isworth being cherished by later generations.
