Bronze handle button “The third order of Qin Chengji’s article commands the seal of Yu Hou of all military forces”, Five Dynasties, printed 6.4 × 5.8 cm, 4.1 cm high
It is made of copper, with a handle and button. The printed text is like the Tang typeface, and the Zhu text is read from the top right. The back of the seal is engraved in regular script with the words “Yu Hou, the third commander of the states such as Qin Chengjie Wen, etc.”. “The third” is the number of the commander. The printed text “Qin Chengjie” is actually the provincial text of the four states, which are located on the north-south line of Longxi, and are the border areas. From the former name of the seal, it should be the seal of Duyu, who was in charge of the military law of the four states of Qin, Cheng, Ji and Wen during the Five Dynasties.
