一、前言 十三陵位于北京市昌平区内,南距北京城约50公里,为一三面环山的小山前盆地,明朝十三个帝王的陵寝即分布在盆地边缘的山麓地带。1958年春季首都人民在大跃进的形势下,发挥了冲天干劲,以义务劳动在这里建成了中外闻名的十三陵水库。从此十三陵就不再仅以明陛古迹而出名了。 I. Introduction The Ming Tombs are located in the Changping District of Beijing and are about 50 km south of Beijing. It is a hill-front basin surrounded by mountains in three directions. The mausoleums of the 13 emperors of the Ming Dynasty are distributed in the foothills of the basin margin. In the spring of 1958, under the situation of the Great Leap Forward, the people of the capital took a brilliant and energetic drive and built the well-known Ming Tombs Reservoir here with volunteer work. Since then, the Ming Tombs ceased to be known only for Mingbi monuments.
