From the end of Guangxu’s reign to the reign of Xuantong, the New Deal and constitutionalism became a major issue in the country’s political situation. The state organs of the Qing government carried out a series of institutional transformations around the constitutional monarchy system. The Outline of the Imperial Constitution promulgated in the 34th year of Guangxu’s reign (1908) clearly stated: “The Qing Emperor reigns in the Qing Empire, and is of one lineage for all generations, and will always be revered.” This “treasure of the Qing Emperor” was made during this period, and seems to have been used on documents issued to China and foreign countries after the New Deal or the establishment of the Constitution, but so far no seal has been found. “The treasure itself has no traces of use. The ink on it remains the same, or it was made in advance. Before it could be used, it was declared bankrupt in preparation for constitutionality, and was therefore shelved.”
