Heshibi is a famous jade in history. In its hundreds of years, it has been regarded as "priceless treasure" and "handed down treasure", also known as Heshibi, Jingyu, Jinghong, Jingbi, Hebi and Hepu. [Name] The name of Hebi when it was first mined. Since then, the raw stone of Meiyu has been called "Wei". History, legends and allusions: Before talking about the jade seal, let's talk about He Shibi. The most legendary cultural relic in the history of China is Cui. In 689 BC, a Chu man named Bian He got a precious jade from Jingshan Mountain. Knowing that it was priceless, he cried at the foot of Jingshan Mountain (now Nanzhang West, Hubei Province). When officials came to ask, Bian He said that there was treasure in the big bluestone he was holding, but he was accused of cheating Wang Jinxian, the king of Chu, twice and was punished for losing his legs one after another. It was very sad. Officials were suspicious of transporting the big bluestone to the capital. When the jade craftsman cut it open, a crystal clear stone appeared. King Wen of Chu, who just acceded to the throne, saw the jade carved with it and was full of love, so he named it "He". Since then, He Shibi has been collected in the Palace of Chu State. More than 300 years later, "He Shibi" became a household name and fell into the hands of Zhao Haoqi Huiwen. On hearing the news, Xiang of Qin offered to exchange fifteen cities. Lin Xiangru sent bi to Qin Gong, and the king of Qin broke his word; He tactfully took back the jade and tried to bring it back to Zhao. This is the idiom "priceless" and "return to Zhao in perfect condition". Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, destroyed the State of Zhao in 222 BC, and got the "Jade of Harmony". The following year, he established the first feudal dynasty in the history of China, and took "He's Jade" as the imperial seal. This imperial seal symbolizing power is "square four inches". The seal was written by Prime Minister Lisi himself and carved by Sun Shou, a famous jade craftsman. According to the Nine Meanings of Han Dynasty, there are eight words written on the seal: "I will live forever". By the Western Han Dynasty, "Heshibi" had become the national seal. In 1 year BC, Liu Xin, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, died of illness, and the young emperor ascended the throne, and the "Choi of Harmony" was presided over by the Empress Dowager. Before Wang Mang usurped the throne and stood on his own feet, he sent his cousin to force the empress dowager to hand over "He Shibi". She was so angry that she threw it on the ground and said, "Your brothers are enemies of heaven and will not come to a good end!" " When Wang Mang was holding the "Heshibi", he found that one corner of it was smashed, so he quickly ordered the jade craftsman to set it with gold. When the Xin Mang regime collapsed, "He Shibi" was hung on the head and neck of the red-eye rebel leader. In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, "He Shibi" returned to the palace. Xian Di, Dong Zhuo insurrection. Sun Jian led an army into Luoyang, and when the soldiers saw a well with colorful clouds in the morning in the palace, they sent people into the well and got the national seal. Sun Jian hid the seal in his wife Wu's place. After Yuan Shu detained Sun Jian's wife and sealed the seal. After Yuan Shu's death, Xu Ying, the secretariat of Jingzhou, came to Xuchang with a seal, and Cao Cao took the Han Emperor here. At this point, the official seal was returned to the Han Dynasty. In 220 AD, Cao Pi usurped power and forced him to abdicate. Han died. Cao Pi had the words "Korea handed over the official seal" engraved on the epaulettes of the official seal. In 265 ad, he also usurped power, called Emperor Wu of Jin, and passed the national seal to Jin. In 3 1 1 year, Liu Cong, a former Zhao, captured Sima Chi, the Emperor of Jin Huai, and the national seal was returned to him. In 329 AD, the post-Zhao destroyed the former Zhao and got a national seal. On the right is engraved "the fate of the stone". In 350 AD, Wei Ran was sent again. Later, Wei Ran begged the rescue of the Eastern Jin army. The official seal was cheated by General Jin and sent to the capital Jiankang (Nanjing) overnight with 300 elite riders. In this way, the official seal returned to Sima's home in the Jin Dynasty. The Southern Dynasties experienced the changes of Song, Qi, Liang and Chen. The Sui Dynasty unified China and passed the national seal into the Sui Palace. In March of 6 18, Emperor Yang Guang of Yang Di was killed in Jiangdu, Yangzhou, and died in the Sui Dynasty. After Xiao, he fled to Mobei Turk with Prince Yuan De and official seal. In the early years of Emperor Taizong's Li Shimin, when the national seal failed to pass, he carved several imperial seals such as "Lingbao" and "Destined Treasure" to console himself. In the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Jing led an army to crusade against the Turks. In the same year, Hou Yaozong suddenly returned to the Central Plains with Prince Yuan De, and the official seal was returned to Li Tang. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the world was in chaos. In 907, Zhu Quanzhong abolished Tang Aidi, seized the national seal and built the back beam. In 923, Li destroyed the back beam, built the later Tang Dynasty, and passed the national seal to the later Tang Dynasty. The last emperor who mastered the "Harmony" was Li Congke, the emperor of the Five Dynasties and the end of the Tang Dynasty. Before Shi Jingtang captured Luoyang in the Jin Dynasty after 936 AD, he and his concubines were in Zifen Palace, and all the imperial objects were thrown into the fire at the same time. Since then, "He Shibi" has disappeared mysteriously, and there are different opinions about its whereabouts. In recent history, there is a record that He Shibi disappeared again in his hand, and there is also a record of Bao in the royal family of the Yuan Dynasty. After the Ming army invaded the Yuan Dynasty, it "captured six emperors, two jade seals, one jade seal, Yuan *** 1 1 emperors, and none of the other jade seals were captured." According to the Outline of the Twenty-Five History, in May of 1370, the left deputy general of the Ming Dynasty led an army to sweep Mobei into Yingchang City, seized the last batch of jewels that Yuan Shundi fled, and was taken to Mobei by him. There is neither an imperial seal of the Yuan Dynasty nor a national treasure. Because of the unknown whereabouts of Heshibi, Heshibi was not used as a treasure seal in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Therefore, when the Ming Dynasty was founded, Zhu Yuanzhang, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, had three regrets. The first one was "laying less national seals". Earlier, Hong Kong scholar Zhong Shijie said that he had obtained the long-lost Heshibi from his Japanese friends. It sounds as confusing as Yang Guifei, who was not strangled in the Anshi Rebellion and then fled across the ocean to Japan. Is she alive today? If it exists, where is it? The authenticity and reliability of He Shibi's legend, I'm afraid, need experts and scholars to research.
