Information on Xi Gold Seal of Guangling King in Eastern Han Dynasty

In the 1970s, Nanjing Museum organized an archaeological team to carry out rescue excavation in Ganquan Mountain Area, Hanjiang District, Yangzhou City, and unearthed a large number of gray pottery, glazed pottery and bronzes. Because the bronze goose foot lamp in the funerary objects of Tomb No.2 is engraved with the inscription "The bronze goose foot of Yangshan House is 28 years longer than Jianwu", it can be known that the tomb era is the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Considering that Liu Jing, the ninth son of Emperor Guangwu, was named King Yangshan before being named King Guangling, it is preliminarily inferred that Tomb No.2 is the tomb of Liu Jing, King Guangling of the Eastern Han Dynasty. A year later, the golden seal of "Guangling Wang Xi" was accidentally discovered in the wasteland near Tomb No.2. The owner of Tomb No.2 must be Liu Jing. Previously, only the "Golden Seal" and "Attila Seal" given by the Central Committee of the Han Dynasty were found in the seal of the princes of the Han Dynasty, while only one Guangling seal was found in the seal of the royal family Liu of the Han Dynasty. This seal also confirms the authenticity of the gold seal of a snake clasp "Han Wei Wang Nu" unearthed in Shiga Island, Fukuoka Prefecture, Kyushu, Japan in the spring of 1784.
