The Vermilion Pencil (æœ±ç† or 硃ç†)[1] was the official register of imperial decrees in Imperial China. Like other oriental monarchies, official sanction of all public acts were conveyed by the impression of a seal. Any remark or directive of the emperor of China was written in red, commonly styled “the vermilion pencil.”
