On the body of the tomb owner, a total of three groups of nine seals were placed.

One of the groups is about the position placed on the chest, which is the group found by Zhuang Yunpeng.

Two of them are jade seals and one is a gold seal.

Judging from the excavation of the seal, it should have been a lacquered wooden box.

Because next to the seal, some pieces of lacquer were also found, as well as a little remnant of rotten wood.

Among these three seals, there is no text on the two jade seals, and they are blank seals.

Only on that gold seal, there is a square engraved with the word Tian, and four seal script characters are engraved in the grid: "Emperor Wen Xingxi".

"Xingxi, one of the emperor's six seals."

"Could it be that there are a few seals left, which are the seals of other emperors?"

Professor Li played with this gold seal, which was only the size of a square inch, and was slightly larger than a thumbnail cover, and it was amazing.

In addition to the heirloom seals made by the Qin and Han emperors, there are still six seals for daily use.

They are the Emperor's Seal, the Emperor's Seal, the Emperor's Letter Seal, the Son of Heaven's Seal, the Son of Heaven's Seal, and the Son of Heaven's Letter Seal.

Different seals have different uses.

For example, this "Emperor Wen's Seal" should be used for sealing the country according to the system.

It is when the princes are divided that this seal needs to be stamped to have legitimacy and sacredness.

The heirloom jade seal will definitely not be taken underground.

But the other six seals may not necessarily be passed down from generation to generation, and sometimes they will be brought underground.

However, although Professor Li has been doing archaeology for decades, he has participated in the rescue excavation of many large tombs.

But this kind of emperor's six seals is really the first time I have seen it.

The emperor's seal, naturally, will only appear in the emperor's mausoleum.

Moreover, the six seals of the emperor were only used in the dynasties between the Qin and Han dynasties and the Sui and Tang dynasties.

The imperial tomb has always forbidden any excavation, unless there is an imperial tomb that has been seriously damaged by tomb robbers, it will be rescued protectively.

The imperial tombs excavated for protection were basically stolen cleanly, and the precious imperial seals could not be found at all.

For example, the imperial tombs of several late Tang emperors were stolen and excavated, and rescue excavations were carried out in the eighties of the last century.

It's a pity that basically no valuable cultural relics have been unearthed, and the situation in the imperial tomb is very shabby.

Therefore, the six seals of the emperor that are currently surviving are very rare.

And the six seals of the emperor of the Han Dynasty are not even survived.

Among the Qin and Han seals handed down and excavated, only the "Emperor's Letter Seal" seal can be seen in the Chinese record, which can be corroborated by the cited literature.

Although this "Emperor Wen's seal" is not the seal of the orthodox emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, it is only a product of the encroachment of the king of Nanyue.

But so far, it is the only "imperial seal" of the Han Dynasty that can be seen today, which is already precious.

The imperial seal of the transgression, it is also the imperial seal!

Although there are many seals of the Han Emperor, they have long been lost and are not seen today.

This seal of Emperor Wen of Nanyue is already the only visible seal of the Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty!

However, the thumb-sized golden seal, Professor Li couldn't put it down and kept playing with it, and the words of admiration in his mouth were endless.

Professor Li is playing with this imperial seal, while Chen Han and Ling An are continuing to clean up several other seals.

The second set of seals is on the abdomen of the tomb owner, which was also once contained in a lacquered wooden box, but now the lacquered wooden box has decayed, revealing the situation inside.

Three seals, two of which are engraved with the word "Taizi", but one is a gold seal and one is a jade seal.

The gold seal is a turtle button, and the jade seal is a bucket button, both of which are the most common Indian and new styles in the Western Han Dynasty.

The last jade seal has no inscription, and the printing surface is very smooth.

These two seals of "Taizi" are also very easy to understand.

The seal used by the owner of the tomb when he was the prince.

However, the "Taizi" seal is also a rare cultural relic.

In the seals handed down, there is no seal engraved with the word "Taizi", so it can be said that these two prince's seals are also out of print.

This tomb of the king of Nanyue, at least in the seal industry, can be said to be a treasure tomb, and it completes the two most important seals of the Chinese seal at once.

An emperor's seal, a prince's seal.

"But... Why are there two prince's seals? Ling An scratched his head, a little puzzled.

Generally speaking, according to the strict system of the ancient feudal dynasty, this kind of seal representing identity will only be given to one.

For example, the king's seal of the princes, the prince's seal, and even the emperor's six seals are all only one.

It is impossible for the same emperor to have two emperors' seals, and it is impossible for the same princes and kings to have two royal seals.

Why did this king of Nanyue, when he was the crown prince, have two prince seals?

Isn't this messy!

Seeing that Ling An was puzzled, his direct boss, Director Fu of the Guangzhou Institute of Archaeology, rolled his eyes.

"Isn't that hard to explain?"

"I ask you, who is the owner of this tomb?"

This question was not difficult for Ling An, and he replied affirmatively: "Zhao Hu, the king of Nanyue Wen!" ”

"That's it."

Director Fu spread his hands: "Have you read the historical records?" ”

"Although Zhao Hu is the second monarch of Nanyue, Zhao Tuo, the founding king of Nanyue, is really too capable of living, he has lived for more than a hundred years and ruled Lingnan for sixty or seventy years!"

"Zhao Hu, who succeeded to the throne, is his grandson, not his son."

"In other words, Zhao Hu's father is the first prince of Nanyue."

"It's just that he obviously didn't live as long as Zhao Tuo, and died in front of Zhao Tuo, so he had Zhao Hu, the prince of his grandchildren."

Small kiosk app

"In the Qin and Han dynasties, there was no such thing as a grandson, as long as he was made the heir of the dynasty, he was the crown prince."

"Obviously, one of the two prince's seals should be Zhao Hu's father's."

"This former prince died before surviving Zhao Tuo, so he left his prince seal to his son Zhao Hu."

"Zhao Hu has also kept this seal from his father, because it also represents the legitimacy of his heirship."

"After his death, the third monarch of Nanyue buried this seal in the coffin with Zhao Hu's own crown seal."

"Speaking of which, this old Zhao family is really interesting."

"According to the Western Han Dynasty system, only the Son of Heaven can use the jade seal, and the princes and kings under him use gold seals, the princes use silver, and then use copper, stone, and pottery."

"And there are strict regulations on the size of the seal, except for the Son of Heaven can use a seal of more than one inch, the princes and kings can only use a gold seal with a side length of 2.4 centimeters."

"As a result, this Zhao Hu engraved the emperor's seal, and the size exceeded 3 centimeters, which is a proper transgression."

"But the material of this seal is made of gold."

"On the contrary, it is the seal of the prince, the side length looks only 2 centimeters, and it has not reached the 2.4 centimeter specifications of the princes and kings, but one of them is made of jade."

"What kind of bells and whistles is this?"

"Repeatedly probing on the edge of danger, jumping sideways repeatedly?"

Hearing Director Fu's ridicule, everyone else in the main tomb laughed.

This Nanyue Wen King Zhao Hu is indeed a very interesting person.

Since the Qin Dynasty, only the seal of the Son of Heaven is called the seal, and it is jade, and the ministers dare not use it.

Han inherited the Qin system, and the seals of the emperor and empress were also called seals.

And the seals of the emperors and empresses of the Han Dynasty must be made of jade, and only the emperor can use jade seals, and the princes and kings under them can only use gold seals.

But Zhao Hu played a nondescript method.

The seal was carved, but it was made of gold.

The prince seal made is not arrogant in terms of specifications, and the heirs of the princes and kings can indeed be called the crown princes.

But in terms of materials, jade is used for sealing.

From his repeated horizontal jumps in the use of restraint and transgression, it can be seen that he is a person who is quite bold, but not very bold.

On the one hand, he wanted to challenge the central authority of the Western Han Dynasty, but on the other hand, he cowered, and only dared to repeatedly test on the edge.

Otherwise, if it is the tomb of his grandfather Zhao Hu, I am afraid that the unearthed seal is estimated to be the emperor's jade seal.

Shaking his head with a smile, Chen Han casually picked up a jade seal about 2-3 cm long from between the belly and legs of the jade robe in the coffin.

This is one of the third group of seals.

After seeing Emperor Wen's seal and the seal of the crown prince, Chen Han could be regarded as broadening his horizons, and he relaxed a lot about the remaining seals.

However, when he easily flipped through the seal to see if there was any engraving on it, the expression on his face suddenly stiffened.

"That's... Director Fu, the king of Nanyue Wen, seems to be about to change his name..."
