In December 2010, Gucheng County Museum of Hubei Province made rescue excavation to a brick single-chamber tomb with ramp passageway and vaulted roof. The walls of the corridor and chamber of this tomb were all built of bricks decorated with patterns, images and inscriptions, all of which were applied to only one side of the bricks and this side was exposed. A few porcelains were unearthed from this tomb. The structure of this tomb, the characteristics of the grave goods and the feature of decorating tomb walls with pictorial bricks all showed that this tomb was built in the Six-Dynasties Period. The excavation of this tomb was very meaningful for the researches on the social history, culture and folklores of the Six-Dynasties Period.
