The first one is the national decree.
After Qin Shihuang ascended the throne, he ordered Li Si, the prime minister, to carve a jade seal with a bi.
In order to ensure the legitimacy of the throne, it is engraved with? Tianshou Yongchang ordered it? Eight big characters.
Therefore, it was valued by emperors of all dynasties. If you don't get this decree, it means that the throne is wrong and you are not an orthodox emperor.
Emperor Li Congke of the Tang Dynasty set himself on fire with the missing imperial edict.
In order to ensure the stability of the throne, the emperors after the Song Dynasty began to carve their own jade seals.
Second, twelve bronze men.
After Qin Shihuang unified the whole country, in order to prevent civil strife, all the soldiers in the world were cast into 12 bronze men.
It is said that each bronze man weighs 300,000 to 400,000 Jin, and it is conceivable that the twelve bronze men are precious.
These twelve bronze statues stand on both sides of Xianyang Palace, but I can imagine the style at that time.
However, these twelve bronze statues have not been circulated so far. Some people say that they were damaged when Xiang Yu burned Epang Palace.
Some people say that Dong Zhuo burned copper coins after he entered Beijing, and some people say that he was brought into the mausoleum by Qin Shihuang.
But no matter how you guess, it's a pity that these twelve bronze statues didn't survive.
Third, Yongle Grand Ceremony.
During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, in order to show the national prestige and benefit all generations, Ming and Yao presided over the compilation of books including classics, history, philosophy, collections, books of a hundred schools of thought, astronomy, geography, yin and yang, medical divination, Buddhism and Taoism, and skills.
It was originally named "literary masterpiece", and later Ming Chengzu personally wrote the preface and named it "Yongle Grand Ceremony".
Yongle Dadian is an ancient encyclopedia of China with comprehensive contents, and it is the first book of China.
There was only one set of originals in the early days of Yongle Grand Ceremony. During the Jiajing period, in order to prevent the Yongle Grand Ceremony from being damaged, a set was copied.
It is said that the Yongle ceremony was held in the tomb of Judy, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. After hundreds of years of wars, fires and other factors, only more than 800 volumes have been circulated in the world.
I really hope that the original Yongle ceremony can be preserved in the mausoleum, so that later generations can reproduce the Yongle ceremony at some time.
Unfortunately, everything is a fantasy.
The fourth piece, the Emperor of Sui Dynasty.
I believe most people have heard of it? Safe return to Zhao? In fact, there were two rare treasures in the Spring and Autumn Period, one was He Shibi and the other was the Empress of Sui Dynasty.
The Empress of Sui Dynasty was a national treasure during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. According to legend, the monarch of this country saw an injured snake while playing with Hou. When he sympathized with Hou, he asked people to dress the snake and put it back in the grass.
After the serpent recovered, he took the luminous pearl to the residence of the late Lord and said, "I am the son of the Dragon King. I am grateful to you for saving my life, and I have come to repay you." This is called "the Pearl of the Snake".
Su Ji's sacred book and the late master: "The diameter is full of inches, pure white and luminous, and there can be a candle room", which is the pearl of future generations.
The last appearance of the post-Zhu Dynasty was during the Qin Shihuang period. Since Qin Shihuang, there has been no news of the afterlife in the world.
According to legend, the Emperor Qin Shihuang put it in the mausoleum for lighting.
Fifth, Jiuding
Jiuding is a symbol of supremacy, national unity and prosperity.
Xia dynasty, Shang dynasty and Zhou dynasty are all regarded as treasures of state power, which is a bit like the decree of later generations.
When Dayu established the Xia Dynasty to enfeoffment Kyushu, he asked the Kyushu state shepherd to contribute bronze casting Jiuding as a symbol of Kyushu, engraved the famous mountains and rivers of Kyushu on Jiuding, and concentrated Jiuding in the capital of Xia Dynasty.
So Jiuding is also called the supreme artifact of China.
When Qin Shihuang unified the world, Jiuding's whereabouts were unknown.
Some people say Jiuding sank in Pengcheng, Surabaya. When Qin Shihuang arrived in Pengcheng, Surabaya, he sent people to dive for salvage, but the result was not found.
It is also said that Jiuding was cast into twelve bronze men by Qin Shihuang, but this event is not recorded in the history books.
Jiuding has been lost for nearly two thousand years, and its whereabouts are still unknown.
