I believe that everyone knows a sentence called the Fengtian Emperor's Edict, which was actually invented by Zhu Yuanzhang. Every time the emperor had a new will, the eunuch always took the holy will, and this sentence was always in the first sentence of the holy will. Speaking of this holy will, it is definitely a very sacred thing, and everyone can feel it when they watch the costume drama, and the holy purpose represents the emperor in ancient times, so it is supreme, and no one dares to violate the holy will.
Speaking of this, many people will ask, why does no one have to imitate the holy will, because the ancient traffic and communication is so inconvenient, and you will not necessarily let the people in the capital know when you use a false holy will, so why didn't the ancients think of forging the holy will? Today I will introduce you to the reasons. First of all, this holy will also has a level, one product is a jade shaft, the second product is the black rhino horn shaft, and the third product is the gold shaft. And the material of this holy will is also very precious, it is a brocade fabric made of fine silk.
And the pattern on this holy will is naturally also very exquisite, because the pattern on this holy will should show the majesty and grandeur of the royal family, so this holy will is basically full of flying dragons and auspicious clouds, and when the ancient emperor wanted to give those meritorious officials, it was also necessary to issue the holy will, and the richer the color of this holy will, the higher the rank of the official. First of all, this holy will is not as in the TV series that everyone watches, the real holy will is very large, in ancient times, the longest holy will was four or five meters long, and the widest one reached 2 meters. In the past, in an old man's home in Hebei, a well-preserved holy will was found, and the length of this holy will was about 3.6 meters. Moreover, from the emperor to the eunuch, there are many procedures, such as content, seal, declaration, etc., each link has a special person in charge, once which link has a problem, these responsible persons naturally cannot survive, so each person in charge will be very careful.
Moreover, the production process of this holy decree is very complicated, basically requiring very professional people to be able to do it. For example, the first word of the Holy Will is the Fengtian Carrying Feng, this word does not have a fixed position, but according to the position of the Auspicious Cloud, this Fengzi must be on the first Auspicious Cloud in the upper right corner, just like the dark lines on the banknote, so this embroidery is very difficult, and ordinary people can't do it. At both ends of the Holy Will, there is also a soaring silver dragon, which is also a kind of anti-counterfeiting sign.
And as mentioned earlier, the raw materials of the Holy Will are very precious, some of them are exclusive to the royal family, and the people simply cannot find it, so it is cut off from the source, so it is really difficult to create a false Holy Will that is not recognized in ancient times.
