“Marquis of Guanzhong” is an official title. According to the system of government posts in Han Dynasty, the marquis had his own manor which could include from a hundred to ten thousand households. But since the Three Kingdoms period (220-265), that official had nothing to do with manor.

This gold seal is square with a tortoise-shaped knob.  The tortoise with a shell and a hollow belly raises its head. The four intagliated Chinese characters in seal script which mean “the seal of Marquis of Guanzhong”, are inscribed boldly and vigorously. It’s as same as an historical book based on its quality and shape.
