The Chinese text opens with a four-character title in a vertical line, Fengtian Gaoming, 'By Command of Heaven', flanked by a pair of dragons, followed by a long text ending with the date 18th year of the Shunzhi period, corresponding to 1661. Stamped with two large seal impressions, the edict continues with the Manchu text.
