In the late years of Cixi’s reign, he was fond of writing in calligraphy, especially large characters such as “Dragon”, “Fu”, and “Shou” for rewards. He was also fond of writing giant plaques suspended in the palace. Although most of them were ghostwritten, they still sealed their giant seals. Therefore, in her later years, Empress Dowager Cixi produced many large treasure seals, such as “The Treasure of Empress Dowager Cixi’s Royal Brush”, “The Treasure of Empress Dowager Cixi”, “Peace, Benevolence, and Heaven and Earth Agree” seals, and “Count the Heart of Plum Blossom Heaven and Earth” seals. Due to the huge volume of these precious seals, it is difficult to find materials such as jade and seal them, so they are all made of lighter sandalwood. The treasure of Empress Dowager Cixi’s imperial pen is one of its giant seals. The seal is used on the large characters or tablets in the imperial book. It is the largest imperial seal ever seen
