新见李自成时期两方官印及其相关问题

最近在陕西发现的李自成政权官印中,"汲县之契"为最早铸印,"鲁山县信"为最晚铸印,此二印俱与河南有关,可全面代表李自成政权颁铸官印的自名特点、尺寸规制、款识流变等。这两方原属河南的李自成政权官印遗落在陕西,与李自成由北京退回陕西后,局势的迅疾糜烂密不可分,折射了李自成起义由盛而衰的历史轨迹。

On Two Official Seals in Li Zicheng Regime

Among the recent discoveries of official seals in Li Zicheng Regime identified in the Shaanxi province, the seal with the characters of “汲县之契” is regarded as the earliest one, and the seal with ＂鲁山县信＂ is dated as the latest one. Both of which are closely related with Henan province, demonstrating the typical characteristics, measurements and the evolution of knowledge models of official seals prevailed in the Li Zicheng Regime. The presumption that these two seals were lost in the Shaanxi indicates the political deterioration when Li Zicheng retreated from Beijing to Shaanxi, reflecting the historical trajectories of rise and fall of Li Zicheng Administration.
