Antiquities of Nanyue King's Tomb:

There is a cultural relic in Nanyue King's Tomb called "the treasure of the town's tomb"-the golden seal of Emperor Wendi's seal, which is the first imperial seal unearthed in China. In the Qin and Han seals handed down or excavated, there is no emperor's seal, only literature records.

However, the emperor seal mentioned in the literature is a white jade seal and a tiger button seal, and the seal is "the emperor performs the seal" or "the son of heaven performs the seal"; However, the emperor seal of Zhao Heng in South Vietnam is a gold seal and a dragon button seal. The length and width are all about 3 cm, the height is 1.8 cm, and the weight is 148 grams. The seal is "Wen Di Xing Xi". This is the uniqueness of the golden seal, which was made by Nanyue State and used before its death.

In addition to the gold seal of Emperor Wendi's seal, there are also gold seals of Taizi (Taitongtai) and Right Lady's seal in the tomb of Nanyue King, but they are not dragon buttons, but turtle buttons. The gold seal of "Taizi" was also discovered for the first time and has never been seen in the seal handed down from generation to generation.
