In Journey to the West, there is such a bridge. Chen Guangxin, Tang Seng's father, was robbed and killed by a bandit on his way to Jiangzhou. Liu Hong succeeded Chen Guangrui as governor of Jiangzhou. Eighteen years later, she was wrongly accused and her mother, Yin Wenjiao, committed suicide. In fact, such a plot is difficult to happen in history. Since the Tang Dynasty, in addition to official seals, officials must also wear a fish-shaped object called a fish charm. It records a person's basic information, name, profile and official products.

At the same time, there is another thing, and that is prosecution. This system has been implemented since the Northern and Southern Dynasties. They are usually made by the government and made of brocade. It mainly records their name, place of origin, age and physical characteristics. This matter needs to be confirmed by the local government before taking office. In fact, this must have happened long ago in the history of official service, so the Ministry of Officials has designed relevant preventive measures to try to prevent similar incidents from happening.

Another certificate for an official's appointment is the edict, which is similar to the current appointment certificate. The above official seal is equivalent to this letter of introduction, which explains the matters regarding the appointment of officials by the government and needs to be submitted to the government for filing and review. The above fish talisman is similar to the tiger talisman, turtle talisman, dragon talisman and rabbit talisman, and all have the same functions. In the Song Dynasty, there were dental cards and waist cards, which were also good cards for officials to prove their identity. The official's name and position are engraved on it. There are many other characteristics that go into the history of trying to verify a person's identity. For example, the materials and accessories of clothes cannot be used casually, as they reflect a person's identity and status.

Officials of the third and above grades are made of gold, officials of the third and fifth grades are made of silver, and officials of the fifth and lower grades are made of copper. Ordinary people simply don't understand these details and can easily break them down if they fake them. In ancient history, it, like 345 first-tier cities, was known as an acquaintance-based society. Whether you are an official or doing business abroad, it is common to establish some communities with regional characteristics composed of compatriots from other places. Accent is a very important feature. The compatriots also have other very different habits. If it's fake, it's easy to spot. Officials went to the capital to report to the emperor and the Ministry of Officials every three years, just as they had done before taking office. Agency cadres are very familiar with the relevant circumstances of appointing cadres and have their own files. Chen Guangrui cannot be replaced by fakes in 18 years. This is just made up by someone who has never been an official.
