Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, these plaques served as a crucial part of the imperial communication system during the Qing Dynasty.

In the intricate protocol of the era, these plaques played a pivotal role in verifying the authenticity of messengers dispatched by the emperor to military camps. The process was meticulously orchestrated: one part of the set, held by the commander, would accompany the messenger, while the corresponding piece was safeguarded by the general at the camp.

The set is designed for a hierarchical verification system, where a messenger carries one piece while the general holds the corresponding counterpart.
