The ancient official seal was briefly dealt with in two ways: one was used for burial, and the other was temporarily cast because of a hurry. This seal almost belongs to the latter, which may be related to the sway of the Eastern Jin Dynasty court. The process is not perfect
The official seal issued by the Jin regime to all ethnic minorities inherits the Han and Wei traditions in the form and form of the seal. The official seals issued by the Han, Wei and Jin regimes to the ethnic minorities in South Vietnam and North China are all cast with specific ethnic names, and there is no general name of “barbarians”. The “barbarians” mentioned in this seal should refer to the barbarians who took Jingzhou as the main settlement at that time. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the barbarians in Jingzhou had a low political status, were levied and recruited, and were oppressed. The resistance of the barbarians caused instability in the region. Therefore, it was very important for the stability of the Jin regime to manage and win over the barbarian leaders. This seal is the official seal issued by the Jin regime to the barbarian leaders.
