The main chamber, with 4-meter inside height, is composed of tomb passage, carriage and horse chamber, corridor, main room, winding corridor, drainage facility and so on. The inside area of the tomb is 700m2, and its containment is 2,000m3. This mausoleum has larger size and complicated structure, which fully embodies the ability and wisdom of China's ancient laboring people.

Liang Xiaowang, named Liu Wu, was the grandson of Han Gaozu (Emperor Gao of Western Han Dynasty) Liu Bang, the son of Han Wendi (Emperor Wen of Western Han Dynasty) Liu Heng, the younger brother of Han Jingdi (Emperor Jing of Western Han Dynasty) Liu Qi, and the uncle of Han Wudi (Emperor Wu of Western Han Dynasty) Liu Che.

According to textual research, the tomb owner is Gong Wang Liu Mai, the son of Liang Xiaowang Liu Wu. It was discovered in 1986 and excavated in 1991. With 70-meter-long tomb passage and 22-meter-long corridor, the tomb has an antechamber in the main chamber, on the top of which there is a piece of colored pattern fresco with vivid colors and fluent lines as well as the main content of black dragon, white tiger, red sparrow, tortoise, and cloudy obscured haze vein. This piece of fresco has a 630-year longer history than Dunhuang fresco, and for whose perfect preservation and considerable value, experts praise it as “the Dunhuang prior to Dunhuang and the Dunhuang beyond Dunhuang”.
