The front side of the brick is divided into 12 squares by convex lines. Each square contains a character cut in relief in Qin seal script, therefore it is speculated to be a relic from the Qin Dynasty. The 12 characters show that "loyal people throughout the country, bumper harvests every year, and there are no hungry people on the streets.", which is a eulogy of the achievements of the Qin Dynasty.
