An ancient tomb from China's Tang Dynasty (618-907) has recently been discovered in Xian county in Cangzhou, north China's Hebei province.

The tomb, in which one male and two females were buried, goes 2 meters below the ground surface. It is constructed of bricks and consists of a stairway, a door, a corridor and a circular chamber.

According to Zheng Zhili, a staff member of Cangzhou's Bureau of Cultural Relics, the artifacts found in the tomb - including a tri-colored pot, a white porcelain bowl, a grey pottery plate and a black glazed lamp - reflect the affluence enjoyed by the people living in the Tang Dynasty.
