To most it looks like a simple clay or bronze tablet but to the Xinese a Hu-hu is a sign of authority and power.

It is used when the emperor dispatches either a general or a magistrate to a province or army. The emperor keeps the right half and the left half is given to the individual.

Normally it has a tiger or a phoenix carved into the tablet. The individual must show who ever he is replacing or the officer in charge the tablet to relinquish command powers from them and then put himself in charge.

It is also used by army detachments and workers to show that they are Xinese citizens.

Hu-fu's come in three types:

Clay:

For the basic soldier and worker.

Bronze:

Used mainly for higher ranking military officers and officials.

Jade (With gold lettering):

Used only for the council of Five, Magistrates, and the emperor's court.
