STORYLINE:
In May 1982, a farmer of Dengfeng County, central China's Henan Province, found a gold slip engraved with characters in the cracks of rocks at Songshan Mountain.
Archaeologists said it belonged to Wu Zetian (624-705), China's only empress.
The gold slip is 36.2 cm long, 8 cm wide and 0.1 cm thick. It is 96 percent gold and weighs 223.5 grams.
The inscription on the gold slip of Wu Zetian conveys lots of cultural and historical information. It mainly indicates that the slip is devoted to Taoist deities at Songshan Mountain to pray for absolution from her sins.
The slip is of great significance to the studies of the Tang Dynasty (618-907) and the Chinese empress.
