內(nèi)容概要

　　古代帝后陵墓不僅是當(dāng)時墓葬的最高等級形式，而且也是當(dāng)時政治制度、宮廷禮俗，以及建筑、藝術(shù)諸領(lǐng)域的綜合反映。就如上意義而言，一部帝王的墓葬文化史，實則即是一部濃縮了的社會發(fā)展史。 明朝，處于中國封建社會的晚期。從明太祖朱元璋掃平群雄，于公元1368年稱帝南京，繼而推翻元朝統(tǒng)治，到李自成農(nóng)民起義軍于公元1644年攻破北京城，崇禎皇帝朱由檢自縊煤山，其統(tǒng)治時間長達277年，先后有16位皇帝君臨天下。在這16位皇帝中，除建文帝朱允炆因“靖難之役”，南京城破，宮中起火，下落不明，沒有留下陵墓外，其余15帝或生前，或死后均建有陵墓并保存至今。 本書對明朝帝王后宮王妃陵的墓主、陵寢制度、歷史沿革變遷及軼聞趣事進行介紹，資料詳實、圖文并茂，融學(xué)術(shù)性、知識性和趣味性于一體。對弘揚祖國文化，讀者全面了解明陵歷史具有重要意義。
