Green Jade Cloud Dragon Button “Chuanxin Jiming” Seal

[Green Jade Yunlong New “Chuanxin Jiming” Seal]

“Chuanxin Jiming” Seal, Jiaqing of the Qing Dynasty, made of green jade, Yunlong New Square Seal, Chinese seal script. The surface is 4.1 cm square, the overall height is 7.3 cm, and the button height is 3.1 cm
“Chuanxin” refers to the inheritance of the mental skills of ancient sages, sages, and sages. The objects of worship in a palace called Chuanxin Palace are Fuxi, Shennong, Xuanyuan, Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, Wen, Wu, Duke of Zhou, Confucius, and so on, as evidenced by this. The term ‘Ji Ming’ refers to the phrase ‘Song of Zhou • Haotian Youcheng Ming’, which is used to praise King Cheng of Zhou for his efforts to continue the development of literature and martial arts. Later, it was often used to praise the virtues of emperors. Emperor Jiaqing carved a seal with this text, which has its own profound meaning
This seal is matched with the “Jiaqing Imperial Pen” and the “Yuqing Palace”, and many sets of seals have been engraved. It is one of the many copies of the same seal in the Jiaqing Royal Seal. It was originally kept in the Yuqing Palace where the Emperor Jiaqing was the crown prince and lived in the early days of his succession. Through the matching two seals, we can get a glimpse of life during the Yuqing Palace period of Emperor Jiaqing. Here, on the one hand, he needs to carry out some artistic activities, such as pleasing calligraphy, so he has the seal of “Jiaqing Imperial Brush”; On the other hand, we also need to learn the strategy of governing the country, so there is the seal of “transmitting the heart, foundation, and destiny”. Emperor Jiaqing himself also said, “Pass on the heart, the foundation, and the secret of the emperor’s heart’s forgiveness is visible.” What is the heart, and what is the fate, of the person who passed on the foundation? Of course, it is the heart of saints and the destiny of Qianlong. At this time, Emperor Jiaqing worshipped the order of Emperor Qianlong as if it were heaven, while also trying to cheer up. This is just like the example of King Cheng of Zhou using his own efforts to carry forward and inherit the foundation created by King Wen and King Wu. It can be said that this imperial seal basically reflects the real life and psychological state of the Yuqing Palace of Emperor Jiaqing during his education period
