Zhao has a beautiful piece of jade called "He Shi Bi". When the king of Qin heard that he wanted this jade, he sent an envoy to see Zhao, saying that he wanted to exchange the city for this jade. The king of Qin has always been insatiable. The king of Zhao knew that he was just trying to cheat He Shibi, but because of the strength of Qin, he dared not refuse directly, so as not to start a war.
Just when he was embarrassed, Lin Xiangru stood up and claimed that he had a way-either to change back to the city or to bring He Shibi back to Zhao completely. In the state of Qin, the king of Qin was really only interested in Bi, and said nothing about giving up the city.
At a meeting, he wanted to seize the jade by force. Lin Xiangru vowed to die. He grabbed He Shibi and prepared to hit the wall and threaten the king of Qin: either exchange land and the city for jade; Otherwise, he will hit the wall, and the king of Qin will get nothing and be reviled for his treachery! Although the king of Qin loves beautiful jade, he is not fatuous and unwilling to change land. It is worth letting Lin Xiangru take He Shibi back to Zhao.

Ancient jadeware
In the early Neolithic Age nearly 8,000 years ago, the ancestors of China recognized and valued the beauty and firmness of jade, turned it into a soldier and carved it admirably. The prehistoric folk jade method has been extended to many aspects of life, such as beauty, sacrifice, amulet, funeral and so on.
Jade unearthed from Hongshan Culture, Jiangsu, Liangzhu culture, Dawenkou culture in Shandong Peninsula and even Longshan cultural site in Shandong Province from 5,500 to 4,000 years ago was originally used as a medium for offering sacrifices to witches and communicating with heaven and earth.
The round hollow jade wall is a sacrificial vessel for ancestors to ascend to heaven, while the round jade cong on the outside is a ritual vessel, which is related to the original concept of the universe in the circle and symbolizes the magical power of heaven and earth, gods and ancestors. The Jade Dragon and the cloud-like Yu Pei in the Hongshan Culture are symbols of tribal totems and leaders' rights. Jade played an important role in the origin of ancient civilization in China.
