The evolution of Chinese emperor mausoleums have gone through the Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han, Tang, song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, showing various characteristics. in the spatial distribution of the Chinese emperors’mausoleum heritage they are not distribute evenly, demonstrating a distribution of zone and cluster, this state is closely related to the capitals’geographical positions in history.

Mostly the Chinese emperors’ mausoleums are to the South-east along the Tengchong-Heihe Zone. The Chinese emperors’mausoleums are of great historical and cultural values, the geomantic cultural values and cultural value of architectureSecondly, Central Shaanxi Plain used to be the locations of ancient capitals, therefore the ancient capital Xi An has always been playing a vital role in the development of the cluster of ancient emperors’ mausoleums. Central Shaanxi Plain is entitled as the capital of thirteen ancient dynasties, but the emperors’ mausoleums are mainly the mausoleums of the Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang dynasties. The emperors’ mausoleum heritage of Central Shaanxi Plain is chiefly located in the comparatively wealthier areas of level land in the Central Shaanxi Basin, showing the geographic shape of a combination in sheets, zones and spots.Over the Central Shaanxi Basin scattered a lot of Chinese emperors’ mausoleums which is a rich tourist resource of the emperors’mausoleum heritage.

New perspective in research. The emperors’mausoleum heritage research is a field domestic scholar seldom implored, usually most researchers are more interested in the perspective of passive protection of them and the national mapping of the emperors’ mausoleum heritage has not been constructed yet. This thesis gives out the time and space distribution of the emperors’ mausoleum heritage by way of documentation. It analyzes the whole mapping of historical and cultural values of the emperors’ mausoleum heritage. The general distribution characteristics of the emperors’mausoleum heritage lie in the regional pattern and provincial distribution; they have a distribution difference along the "Tenchong-Heihe line".2. New ideas in the research theory. The thesis advances the heritage activation hierarchy theory and creates a new concept and way for the emperors’mausoleum heritage tourism through typical area case analysis. The activation of heritage emphasizes the central factor of the cultural message, which is the value origination of the cultural heritage. The initial carrier element of the intangible cultural carrier (non-material) should be stressed, as well the multi-carrier elements of tangible cultural carriers. The subject is consisted of cultural message and both intangible and tangible cultural carriers (media or subject). 3. The idea of the seasonal pattern of the emperors’ mausoleum heritage tourism. The tourism utilization pattern is the experience summery of solving the problem of achieving the goal of effective protection and reasonable utilization of the cultural heritage in the course of tourism utilization. It is also a theoretical explore in account of the activation of cultural heritage and enhancing the tourist experience. The tourism utilization pattern of different emperors’mausoleum locations vary. The image orientation of the emperors’ mausoleum heritage tourism is a major approach to Huang Di Mausoleum tourism. The concept of "Early human progenitor, ancestral tomb shrines" applies to Huang Di Mausoleum tourism; the forest park orientation pattern is applied to Qianling heritage, Qianling relics forest park pattern is an important way to display the cultural connotation of Qianling; the statement of "Rare Qianling, the top of Tang emperors’ mausoleums" is a perfect combination of meaning and image. The relic park orientation pattern is adopted in Emperor Qin’s mausoleum, the cultural heritage theme of "Qin style, Qin Music and Emperor Qin" accounts for the cultural core of Emperor Qin’s mausoleum.The research of the Emperors’ mausoleums cultural heritage in Shaanxi province involves the subjects of history culture, geomancy culture, social culture, tourist development and cultural creativity; therefore, it is quite difficult to deal with. This thesis is sure to have its limits and disadvantages, such as; it has not explored deep enough the Chinese emperors’ mausoleums history and culture, which could be an impediment to the precise understanding of the Chinese emperors’mausoleums ethos and its cultural connotation. Due to the restriction of research area (the three emperors’ mausoleums tourist locations in Shaanxi Province), the research conclusions are to be updated and the research on cultural heritage experience is to be continued.
