In 1115 AD, the Nuzhen people established the Jin regime, and then successively eliminated the Liao and Northern Song regimes, ruling the area north of the Yellow River for more than 100 years. In order to rule the highly developed areas of the original Song and Liao cultures, its political system also imitates the system of the original Song and Liao. Before the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the Jurchen nationality did not have its own language. Because its system imitated the Song and Liao dynasties, it used the official seals of the Song and Liao dynasties obtained in the war as the official seals of its regime. Later, it once imitated the system of the Southern Song Dynasty, and was cast and printed by the Department of Culture and Thought of the Shaofu Supervisor. Until the first year of Zhenglong (1156), “the Ministry of Rites was more refined”. This seal is the official seal of Mouke, which was forged by the Ministry of Rites of the Jin regime and was transferred to Dage River.
