信平侯印端庄雍容的汉印

汉印端庄而雍容的气派为后世印人确立了一个创作的标杆，特别是明清印人强调“印宗秦汉”，其实都是指师法秦汉印式。以秦汉印，特别是汉印的风格典范作为篆刻创作的审美追求，从而确定了汉印在篆刻史上的正统地位。

The dignified and graceful style of Han Dynasty India established a creative benchmark for later generations of Indians. Especially in Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Indian Emperor emphasized "Yinzong Qin and Han Dynasty", which in fact refers to the imitation of Qin and Han Dynasty India. The aesthetic pursuit of seal carving creation is based on the style model of Qin and Han seals, especially Han seals, thus confirming the orthodox status of Han seals in the history of seal carving.

信平侯即长修平侯杜恬，官至西汉御史。汉高祖刘邦封诸侯王时，杜恬被分为长修平侯排名108位，后惠帝改长修平侯为信平侯，封地为山西省新绛郡。西汉自文、景两代起，如何限制和削弱日益膨胀的诸侯王势力，一直是封建皇帝面临的严重问题。刘邦的大肆分封更导致了后世著名的“七王之乱”，与他的稳定汉朝天下的初衷相悖。

Xin Ping Hou is Du Tian, a long-term Xiu Ping Hou, and the official to the imperial history of the Western Han Dynasty. When Liu Bang, the emperor of Han Dynasty, feuded the princes, Du Tian was divided into Changxiu and Pinghu, ranked 108. Later, Huidi changed Changxiu and Pinghu to Xinjiangjun, Shanxi Province. Since the Wen and Jing dynasties in the Western Han Dynasty, how to restrict and weaken the growing power of princes and kings has always been a serious problem faced by feudal emperors. Liu Bang's wanton enfeoffment led to the famous "Seven Kings'Rebellion" in later generations, which was contrary to his original intention of stabilizing the Han Dynasty.

据了解，信平候印这一现象与汉武帝时期颁布的"推恩令"有关。元朔二年（前127年），主父偃上书武帝，建议令诸侯推私恩分封子弟为列侯。这样，名义是上施德惠，实际上是剖分其国以削弱诸侯王的势力。汉武帝为了巩固中央集权，颁布“推恩令”，下令允许诸侯王将自己的封地分给子弟。推恩令下达后，诸侯王的支庶多得以受封为列侯，不少王国也先后分为若干侯国。

It is understood that the phenomenon of Xinping Waiting for India is related to the "Tui En Decree" promulgated by Emperor Wudi of Han Dynasty. In the second year of the Yuan Dynasty (127 years ago), the principal father Yan wrote to Emperor Wu, suggesting that the princes should promote private favors and divide up their children into the ranks of the princes. In this way, the name of Shi Dehui is actually to divide up his country in order to weaken the power of the princes and kings. In order to consolidate centralization, Emperor Wudi of Han Dynasty issued a "deduction order", which allowed the princes to distribute their feudal lands to their children. After the Twenty-En decree was issued, most of the tribes of the princes and kings were appointed as princes, and many kingdoms were divided into several princes successively.

所以，多枚信平侯印的面世也正好印证了这样一段历史，说明它是汉武帝时期"推恩令"的一种产物。应该说信平侯金光印确实是一件稀世罕见的文物珍品，有较高的欣赏价值。

Therefore, the appearance of many Xinpinghouyin just confirms such a period of history, indicating that it was a product of the "Tyranning Order" of Emperor Wudi of Han Dynasty. It should be said that Xinpinghou Golden Print is indeed a rare cultural relic treasure with high appreciation value.
