Ancient Tomb Complex

Located in Woyun Village and Qunfeng Village, Tangxian Town, Suizhou City, this is a tomb complex from the Eastern Han and Three Kingdoms periods, covering an area of about 130,000 square meters. Over a hundred brick-chambered tombs were once exposed, with three excavated—two from the Eastern Han and one from the Three Kingdoms period. Among them, the Eastern Han tombs consist of one rectangular double-chamber brick-and-stone tomb and one rectangular multi-chamber stone tomb, containing pottery items such as plates, bowls, jars, incense burners, urns, towers, stoves, granaries, and wells. The Three Kingdoms tomb is a rectangular double-chamber brick tomb, with finds including pottery granaries, stoves, mills, stemmed cups, bowls, chickens, pigs, as well as porcelain jars, bronze mirrors, iron knives, silver bracelets, and crystals.
