Yellow strips are yellow strips of paper tied to objects in the past in the palace. They usually record the source and location of the object, and often provide a clearer identity for old cultural relics. According to the yellow bar content of Xuantong wares, there were many Xuantong wares that were collected into the palace during the Jiaqing Dynasty, such as: “On the fourth day of December in the tenth year of Jiaqing, they were collected”, “On the 26th day of May in the thirteenth year of Jiaqing, a copper furnace was collected, indicating longevity.”. It should be noted that the yellow bar does not reflect the casting content, but rather the “receipt”. Therefore, in dating, it is not possible to attribute the yellow bar and the physical object to the same period, but only to indicate that the physical object is at least no later than the yellow bar period, as an example.
