Brick-Chamber Tomb in Buzi Town

The Brick-Chamber Tomb in Buzi Town is a cultural tourism attraction.

The Brick-Chamber Tomb in Buzi Town is located about 100 meters east of Xinjaikou in Buzi Town, Sucheng District. This tomb is a brick-chamber structure with a corridor and a vaulted ceiling. The layout of the tomb is slightly shaped like the Chinese character “甲” (jiǎ), constructed with blue bricks and featuring a double-layered arched vault. Pottery fragments were mixed into the brick joints for reinforcement. The eastern part is relatively well-preserved, while the western part has been damaged, possibly due to looting. The corridor is a long slope with an incline of approximately 30 degrees. The tomb door was built with blue bricks laid lengthwise; the upper part has been damaged and tilts toward the tomb chamber. Fifteen layers remain, measuring 1 meter in width, 0.15 meters in thickness, and 0.6 meters in height. The dimensions of the tomb bricks are 28–30 cm in length, 15 cm in width, and 4 cm in thickness. Based on the tomb’s structure and the burial objects, it is dated to the Eastern Han Dynasty and provides valuable information for studying burial customs during that period in Suqian.
