Can play! Xi' an has launched the "Yuxi" subway card. The prototype of this Yuxi is really big!
Recently, Xi 'an introduced a long-term security card in the shape of a jade seal, which citizens can use to take buses and subways. According to reports, Yuxi brand is a cultural and creative product jointly launched by Chang Antong and Shaanxi History Museum. It is based on the seal of the Queen of the Western Han Dynasty and can be used in more than 200 cities across the country. Many netizens said: Cool! Want to have it! Some netizens also said: Holding the jade seal immediately gives you a sense of ceremony. ? Well-known historical bloggers teased: It is better to broadcast "going to court" when entering the station, "retreating from court" when leaving the station, and "thanking the Lord for his kindness" when recharging, which is also very vivid. ? So, what is the origin of this "Queen Seal of the Western Han Dynasty" as the prototype of the transportation card? 1September 1968, 13-year-old Kong Zhongliang, the oldest queen, accidentally found a small white stone beside the river, which was crystal clear and lovely, so she put it in her schoolbag and went home. As a result, the famous Seal of the Queen of the Western Han Dynasty, one of the treasures of the town hall of Shaanxi History Museum today, was discovered in a casual search. ? The seal of Langjiagou unearthed by the Empress Seal was carved from white jade of sheep fat in Hotan, Xinjiang. The printed body is square, and the buttons are high relief crawling tigers. The four sides of the stamp table are all rectangular, and a rectangular concave frame is cut out. Four cirrus moire patterns are cut out on the inner periphery of the stamp table, and each moire pattern is connected with the frame by double negative vertical lines. The front of the seal is engraved with the seal script "Queen's Seal". The importance of this seal is that it is the earliest queen seal found in China, and the owner of the seal is the first queen in the history of China. It directly or indirectly reflects the seal system of the Empress of the Han Dynasty and corrects some mistakes in the history books. On June 20th, 199 1, Shaanxi History Museum opened not far from the northwest of Big Wild Goose Pagoda. The national treasure "Queen's Seal" has been officially displayed in the museum for a long time. Before the Qin Dynasty, when the royal family used the seal source, the seal was made of gold, jade, silver and copper, which was called "square inch seal". As long as people have money and can afford it, everyone can wear it. After the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shihuang wanted to show the world that "the emperor is a unique existence", so he asked that only the emperor's seal can be called "seal", which is made of jade. ? Di Xin Yin, a clay seal in Qin Dynasty, is a trace document recorded in Qin Dynasty. The Qin dynasty established a system: the emperor's seal was called seal alone, and there were six seals, all of which were square inches, and the seal grade was determined by Xiao Zhuan, Qian. After that, "one hundred generations did Qin political affairs", and since then, they have lived through dynasties, or passed down or re-carved, until the Qing Dynasty. Different shapes of jade seals reflect the owner's identity and social status. After Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, he asked the good workers to select the best lantian jade to make a jade seal, which was engraved with the shape of a dragon beating a pearl. The Bao system founded by Qin Shihuang was completely inherited by Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang, and later became the so-called "Eight Systems of Qin and Han Dynasties". This system also ran through the whole Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties and Sui Dynasty. They not only inherited the Eight Xi System in Qin and Han Dynasties, but also had basically the same specifications, names, styles and characters. ? Why is the square seal "Treasure of Emperor Daming" made of white stone and New Zealand jade? Back to this seal of the Empress of the Han Dynasty, we can see that it was carved with white jade from sheep fat in Hotan, Xinjiang. Now we can see that all precious seals in the past dynasties are made of jade, most of which are Hetian jade, and only a few are gold and ebony. Ancient jade is extremely rare, among which Hetian jade in Xinjiang is especially warm and soft, which is in line with the noble character of the ancients' pursuit of restraint and modesty. At the same time, jade is compared to the symbol of "faith". ? According to the Book of Rites, Confucius summarized jade as eleven virtues, namely, benevolence, wisdom, righteousness, courtesy, joy, loyalty, faith, heaven, earth, virtue and Taoism. The Han Dynasty was the peak of the development of jade in ancient China, and the nobility respected jade to the extreme. In the Han Dynasty, there were both jade ornaments as decorations and jade treasures as gifts, and a large number of jade articles were made into daily necessities. ? Due to the prosperity of the study of Huang Lao and people's superstition of jade, the jade burial in Han Dynasty also reached the peak of history, and a whole set of jade burial ceremonies such as gold thread, jade clothes and nine orifices were formulated. Emperors will wear jade articles before their death and use them as funerary objects after their death. They believe that jade can keep the body from rotting and the emperor's family will be born in the afterlife. Why a tiger? Literally, it should be two kinds of animals: a tiger and a tiger. Wei Hong's "Nine Meanings of Han Dynasty" includes: Qin sealed dragons and tigers with precious jade. Cai Yi's Arbitrariness: "The son of heaven sealed the jade to kill the tiger. It seems that the ancient interpretation of "Tigger" is also a combination of "Tigger" and "Tiger". ? The phoenix dysprosium in Han jade represents the jade seal, and its buttons are tiger killer, tiger is yin, tiger is yang, tiger represents earth, tiger represents heaven, and killing tiger beast means harmony between heaven and earth and balance between yin and yang. Chi-chi is a dragon, and Chi-hu is just a beast deduced from Chi-chi. It is a combination of pool and Hu, and the dragon is also a tiger. Tigers and beasts appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Han Dynasty became a favorite decorative pattern for emperors. It is said that when Emperor Gaozu entered the customs, he got the imperial seal of Qin Shihuang's Lantian, that is, the new button to kill the tiger, which was engraved with "God's will, Emperor Shou Chang". This decree is the national decree that later made people struggle to break their heads. Guo in the Han Dynasty is characterized by a vertical inward hook on the eyebrow, a shallow eyebrow looming, and softness and rigidity. The imitation of Korea by later generations is deep, thick and hard, which is not as detailed and touching as that of the Han Dynasty. From this point of view, this seal of the Queen of the Western Han Dynasty is a national treasure in terms of historical archaeology and cultural significance. When it is applied to the objects we travel in modern daily life, how can it not be loved?
