作为我国古代北方重要的关隘，太行八陉是晋冀豫三省之间相互往来的八条重要交通线路，为太行山区向华北平原的交通运输和经济贸易提供了便利。本文以太行八陉为研究对象，利用ArcGIS软件平台，对太行八陉的古今分布进行探究，研究太行八陉在不同历史时期的空间特征变化，分析其对华北地区经济格局发展变化的驱动因素，总结其在空间特征方面的历史演进规律，初步取得以下成果：1、从相关历文献资料和各地方志史料入手，了解太行八陉在不同历史时期的历史背景，探究太行八陉在不同历史背景的条件下的起源，根据史书资料记载从地形、政治、军事等多个角度分析太行八陉的历史演变趋势。

2、利用ArcGIS软件平台绘制太行八陉的陉道路线地图，获得太行八陉的宏观位置分布，利用航天飞机雷达地形测绘SRTM90m数字高程地图，获得太行八陉陉道位置的数字高程数据，分析太行八陉陉道位置形成和发展的驱动因素。

3、通过太行八陉陉道路线、高程、铁路交通等各图层数据叠加分析得到太行八陉古代陉道位置与现代交通网络的关联，分析古今交通和经济格局的空间联系，总结太行八陉的历史演进特征。

Taihang Baxing, the Eight Passes of Taihang Mountains is an important transportation route between Shanxi, Hebei and Henan provinces. It was the location of an important pass in the north in ancient times, which facilitated transportation and economic trade from the Taihang mountains area to the North China plain. This paper takes Taihang Baxing as the research object, uses ArcGIS software platform to explore the ancient and modern distribution of Taihang Baxing, studies the changes of the spatial characteristics of Taihang Baxing in different historical periods, analyzes the driving factors of its development and changes in the economic pattern of North China, and summarizes the historical evolution rules of its spatial characteristics.

First of all, this article from the related calendar documents and local Chronicles of historical materials, understand the historical background of Taihang Baxing in different historical periods, explore the origin of Taihang Baxing in different historical background conditions, according to historical records from the terrain, politics, military and other aspects of the historical evolution of Taihang Baxing.

Secondly, the ArcGIS software platform was used to draw the route map of Taihang Baxing route to obtain the macro position distribution of the route. The space shuttle radar terrain mapping SRTM90m digital elevation map was used to obtain the digital elevation data of the xing Xing Route location of Taihang Baxing route and analyze the driving factors of the formation and development of the Route location.

Finally, through the route, elevation, railway traffic and other layers of data superposition analysis to get Taihang Baxing ancient location and modern traffic network association, analysis of ancient and modern traffic and economic pattern of space connection, summed up the historical evolution characteristics of it.
