On February 24th, 198 1, Tao Xiuhua, a member of Laoshan Brigade of Hanjiang County Commune, built a road near Ganquan Mountain. When he was digging, he saw a little golden thing and picked it up and put it in his trouser pocket. When she went home to clean things, she found that it was a golden seal. My husband used to be a migrant worker in the archaeological team, and he felt unusual from the vicinity of Ganquan Mountain. They rushed to Nanjing Museum and gave the seal to experts for identification, only to learn that this humble little seal was actually a big treasure.

According to archaeological experts' speculation, when the staff of Nanjing Museum excavated Ganquan No.2 Han Tomb on 1980, the tomb had already been stolen, and the tomb was filled with broken bricks and miscellaneous soil, which were piled up around the archaeological site after sorting out, and it happened that Tao Xiuhua's road construction site was nearby. This seal should be something that was not sorted out at that time, and it was piled up with broken bricks and miscellaneous soil.

Tao Xiuhua and his wife learned of the situation and donated this golden seal of Guangling King of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the country. This seal was collected in Nanjing Museum and became one of the top ten national treasures of the town.

Let's take a look-the artistic value of Wang Xi's golden seal in Guangling of the Eastern Han Dynasty ~ ~

The golden seal of Wang Xi, the king of Guangling in the Eastern Han Dynasty, is the only warlord of the Han Dynasty, Wang Jinyin, found so far. Gold, silver and copper are 2. 12 1 cm high, 2.375 cm long and 2.372 cm wide. There is a turtle buckle at the top of the seal, with a buckle height of 2. 12 1 cm and a platform height of 0.945 cm. The gold seal weighs 122.87 grams, with exquisite patterns and exquisite craftsmanship. The surface of the seal is engraved with "Guangling Wang Xi" seal script, with dense strokes, smooth and harmonious, and full of rigidity.

The all-India design is neat and exquisite, and it can be called a fine product of China and India.

This golden seal of Guangling King in the Eastern Han Dynasty became a national cultural relic not only because of its long history and meticulous workmanship, but also because of its great historical and cultural value.

After the Han seal was unearthed, it aroused strong repercussions in Japan, because the shape, seal cutting and technology of this seal are the same as the gold seal of "Han Wei slave king" unearthed in Japan. Before 1784, a gold seal was unearthed in Fukuoka, Kyushu, Japan. It is a snake-shaped button square with a side length of 2.3 cm, and the five Chinese characters "Han Wei Wang Nu" are engraved on the seal.

Since its discovery, this seal has been questioned by many people, who think its authenticity is in doubt. The mainstream view is the "private seal theory", which holds that the gold seal of "King Han Nu" was not given by the Han Dynasty, but was a "private seal", and even belonged to a big scam planned by Bingxu and others, which was a forgery in the Edo era.

It was not until 198 1 that the golden seal of Xi, the king of Guangling in the Eastern Han Dynasty, was unearthed. Experts believe that the two seals are the same in many aspects, and people finally believe the authenticity of the golden seal of the "slave of King Han Wei", and prove that more than 2,000 years ago, China and Japan began to communicate with each other with the golden seal as a token, and finally solved the authenticity of the golden seal of the "slave of King Han Wei".

The owner of Xi Gold and Silver, King Guangling of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was Liu Jing, King Guangling. He is the ninth son of Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty. In the first year of Yongping (58 years), he was conferred the title of Guangling King. After his death, the husband and wife lived together in Ganquan Mountain, Yangzhou.

According to the literature, Liu Jing did not die of natural causes, but committed suicide. After the death of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, the fourth son Liu Zhuang succeeded to the throne, namely Emperor Han Ming. Although Liu Zhuang and I were born by the same mother, now he is unwilling to be emperor, so he pretends to be Guo Kuang, the uncle of his eldest brother Liu Jiang, and writes a secret letter to Liu Jiang, encouraging Liu Jiang to rebel. Liu Jiang found something strange and handed the messenger to Emperor Han Ming for investigation. Emperor Han Ming was very angry when he learned that Liu Jing was his own brother, but he didn't punish him, let him return to Wang Fu, and sent someone to closely monitor him.

When Liu Jing saw that Ming Di didn't blame him, he rebelled again and tried to usurp the throne. Emperor Han Ming already knew that he was made king of Guangling and moved to Yangzhou. Liu Jing still refused to give up and asked the fortune teller if he could start fighting. As a result, the fortune teller tipped off the officials.

When Ming Di learned of this incident, he still didn't pursue it excessively. He cut down Liu Jing's defenses and strengthened monitoring, hoping that he would turn over a new leaf. But Liu Jing still didn't repent, and arranged for the wizard to curse Ming Di, but this was soon discovered by Ming Di. Liu Jing finally understood that his every move had long been controlled by Ming Di, and it was impossible for him to resist in his life. The emperor's dream was shattered and he committed suicide in despair. Ming Di made him the "king of ideas", which is also extremely forbearing.

Let's look at these gold seals again. All enfeoffment kings in the Han Dynasty were represented by golden seals, so there were many details of buttons to show the difference. According to archaeological experts' research, the gold seals used by kings with different surnames in the Han Dynasty were snake buckles in the south, sheep buckles in the north, camel buckles in the northwest, and turtle buckles when kings with Liu surnames were enfeoffed. This is also quite interesting.

But this statement is only recorded in historical materials. Later generations have not seen the golden seal of the turtle button for thousands of years. It was not until Wang Xi's discovery in Guangling that people could see the true face of the golden seal of the turtle button.
