| Description |
English: Two bronze two-part paizi (pass) of the Western Xia, with a four character inscription in the Tangut script on the back part, and geometric design on the front part. Western Xia (1038-1227). The Tangut inscription reads "𗿢𗯼𘆝𗪊" [2806 (zur), 5185 (dźja̠), 0764 (rjijr), 3697 (bji) in Li Fanwen's 2008 Tangut-Chinese dictionary] meaning "By imperial command, a pass to burn the horses" (i.e. to ride with great urgency) (translated as 敕燃馬牌 in Chinese). The front part slips into the back part, covering the Tangut inscription, with space between the two parts for a written message. The Tangut character 𗿢 "imperial command" [2806 (zur)] is inscribed in seal script form on the bottom rim of the back part, and on the top rim of the front part. On display at the Xixia Museum in Yinchuan. Probably copies of original paizi held elsewhere. |
