Description:
This ge derived its name from the six-character inscription located on the yuan and hu parts. Yuan is the body of the dagger axe, and hu is the part that extends downward to the descending edge. The ge was in the collection of the famous Qing dynasty collector Liu Tizhi. In his catalog, it was named yongyong ge, transcribed after the three characters inscribed in the hu part. Therefore we know that this ge was already partly covered with encrustation. Three other characters were later revealed in X-ray radiographs. The entire inscription consists of six characters, transcribed Cai ho Chan zhi yong ge. From this we can gather the nationality, the owner of the ge, and his official position and name: The marquis Ho of Cai was the owner of this ge (471 B.C. ~ 457 B.C.)
