A Jin Dynasty portrait brick tomb found at an archaeological site in Ganquan County was moved, intact, in order to support capital construction. In addition to information on traditional methods, infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) photography, portable X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry and colorimetry were utilized to reveal more information. The results show that the main colors of the portrait bricks are red, white and black, and that the yellow pigment has obvious fluorescence. We tentatively determined that hematite and red lead were used as pigments. The main diseases include flaking, cracking, detachment, and deep losses. In the whole process, the small environment and unstable diseases of the tomb were controlled at once. Foam board, composite board and wooden keel were used to support and reinforce the entire interior of the tomb, while gypsum and linen, as well as different types of steel were used to reinforce the exterior of the tomb. At the bottom, channel steel and H steel were inserted and welded to the tomb as a whole so that it could be hoisted and transported. In spite of various difficulties, the intact moving was a success and the tomb has become the largest one using this moving method so far. This effort provides a model for similar projects.
