South Korea rare display 500 years ago royal seal, turtle shape is called national treasure: netizens watching God complain

The Korean royal seal was first exhibited 500 years ago, attracting heated discussions among netizens.

For the first time in 19 years, the National Palace Museum in South Korea recently displayed some of its underground warehouse collections, including the seals of the "imperial treasures" of the Joseon dynasty, attracting many visitors.

The "Royal Treasure" seal, the tortoise-shaped handle used by the Joseon dynasty to canonize a prince or princess, is more than 500 years old. The "Royal Treasure" seal on display was designated a "treasure" by the South Korean government in 2023, recognizing its important value.

Many netizens expressed surprise after seeing the "Royal Treasure" seal, thinking that it looked very new, and even doubted whether it had just been collected from the stall. Some netizens expressed puzzlement about the tortoise shape of the seal handle, believing that the Royal Jade Seal should be more majestic and noble.

In response to netizens' doubts, the National Palace Museum of South Korea said that the "imperial treasure" seal on display has been carefully restored and maintained, so it appears to be well preserved. The tortoise-shaped handle has the meaning of longevity and stability during the Joseon Dynasty, so it is considered an auspicious symbol of the royal seal.

The display of the "Royal Treasure" seal not only provided the public with a rare opportunity to learn about the ancient history and culture of Korea, but also aroused the attention and discussion of netizens on historical relics and traditional culture.
