The Tomb No. 2 of the Han Dynasty nearby Lingsheng Lake was in a 甲 -shaped plan, the chambers above the ground were built of rammed-earth; the grave was roughly in square plan and the walls were lined with wooden planks; the wooden coffin chambers were protected with large amounts of accumulating sands on all sides and lined with well-baked bricks on all sides and the roof. The coffin chambers were a large-scale ＂huangchang ticou＂ wooden architectural complex consisting of three main chamber the antechamber, the central chamber, the rear chamber and the wing chambers, door- ways, corridors, outer storage chambers and ticou walls （built of cypress heartwoods perpendicular to the wall with stacked ends seen on the wall face） . From this tomb, many bricks bearing red or black color written or incised inscriptions were unearthed. This tomb in large scale and completely preserved is the best preserved large-scale ＂huangchang ticou＂ tomb found to date in China. It can be seen as the repre- sentative of the most mature form of ＂huangchang ticou＂ burial system developed to its latest stage and the transitional stage to the large brick-chamber tomb with surrounding corridors, and very valuable physical material for the research on the ＂huangchang ticou＂ burial system in the Han Dynasty.
