There is an interesting detail about a cultural relic that is worth studying. The armor of Qin Liangyu, exhibited by a well-known museum, has become a key exhibit, but it has recently been discovered that there are some obvious issues regarding its authentication.

According to relevant academic materials published in 1987, the relics of Qin Liangyu were recorded as being housed in the Chongqing Museum, and most of these cultural relics have now been transferred to the Chongqing Three Gorges Museum. Comparing the images of the artifacts from the two periods, especially the helmet parts, they all exhibit the characteristics of a second-rank official's headgear, featuring "red coral crown + double-eye flower feathers."

An interesting question arises here: does the combination of the fabric armor from the late Ming Dynasty with this type of high-ranking headgear ornament align with historical records and craftsmanship traditions? This involves the authentication of cultural relics, the characteristics of craftsmanship from different dynasties, and even the historical details of official clothing systems during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. For the certification standards of exhibits in professional museums, such subtle details often best reflect the rigor of cultural relic research.
