1993年10月,陕西省文物保护技术中心文物调查研究室组成调查组,对三原县嵯峨乡天井岸村的古遗址进行考古调查时,发现几组西汉大型建筑群的轴线竟与汉长安城南北轴线相合。调查结果证实,西汉时期曾经存在一条超长距离的南北向建筑基线。这条基线通过西汉都城长安中轴线延伸。
In October 1993. archaeologists from the Technical Center of Antiques Preservation of Shaanxi Province discerned during their survey a surprisingly long architectural base line, which went through the axis of the Han dynasty city of chang' an. Beginning with the Ziwu Valley of the Qinling Mountains, the line stretches over a distance of 74 km' at an angle of only 0. 03 detree to meridian, northward through the Han dynasty city of chang' an, the Changling Mausoleum, the Great Bend of the Qinghe River to the ceremonial buildings of the Han dynasty at Tianjing' an.The Han dynasty ceremonial building at the northern extreme of the line is a huge bowl—shaped pit with a mouth diameter of 260 m, a bottom diameter of 170 m and a depth of 32 m. The pit has a 30—m—wide breakage in its nmorth, and a paved bottom, where steps of a 4—m width is found in the northwest. The pit is believed to be the site of the Tianqi Shrine. Remains are found to its east of the Wudi Temple complex arranged in a cruciform plan.This base line could be continued northward further to the suofang Prefecture and southward to the Hanzhong Prefecture of the Han dynasty. If a cross axie were drawn from the Han dynasty City of Chang' an or Xianyang, we can follow it eastward to Shangqu on the coast where Qin Shi Huang set up a stone stele to mark the eastern border of his empire.A good example of the ancient architectural geomancy that preached the unity of man—made buildings and Nature, the line is of much value to the students of ancient Chinese sciences, technology and archaeology.
