"Zhongguo Yuxi" is based on "He's Bi". In the Spring and Autumn Period, Bian He, a native of Chu, got a piece of uncut jade in the mountains and dedicated it to King Li. The king of Chu asked the jade workers to identify them, and the jade workers were identified as stones. The king of Chu judged Bian and his left foot for deceiving the emperor. Later, King Wu came to the throne, and Bian He offered jade again, but still broke his right foot for the crime of deceiving the emperor. In 690 BC, King Wen came to the throne, and Bian He Baoyu cried bitterly. Wang Wen sent someone to ask him, and he said: "I am not mournful, but I am mourning my husband with precious jade, and I call it a stone, and the zhenshi is called a sorrow." The king of Wen asked him to cut open the uncut piece, and it turned out to be a precious jade, which was called because of the name. NCM. In the time of King Chu Wei, the more meritorious the Xiangguo Zhaoyang defeated, the King Wei rewarded him with He Shibi. But Zhaoyang soon lost it. Some people suspected that Zhang Yi, his doorman, stole it and detained Zhang Yi for interrogation. Angrily, Zhang Yi left Chu and entered Wei, and then went to Qin, and was later worshipped as Qin Xiang.
During the Warring States Period, King Zhao Huiwen obtained Heshibi from the eunuch Yingxian. After King Qin Zhao learned about it, he planned to take it by force. Later, Lin Xiang argued hard and put Heshibi back to Zhao. In the nineteenth year of the Qin Wangzheng (228 BC), the Qin Wangying broke Zhao and got the Heshibi. Yingzheng unified the world and was called the first emperor. The eight characters in the seal script of Li Si, "destined to the sky, life and Yongchang", Xianyang jade worker Sun Shoujiang He Shibi polished, carved into a seal, that is, the royal seal. In the 28th year of King Qin's political affairs (219 BC), Emperor Qin Shihuang passed the mouth of Dongting Lake. At this time, the wind and waves suddenly rose, and the dragon boat was about to fall, so the first emperor threw the seal into the lake, praying for the gods to calm the waves, and the national seal was the first. Missing. And eight years later, someone in Huayin Pingshudao offered this official seal. Since then, the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom has changed owners more than ten times, and has experienced the suffering of the ups and downs.
In the winter of the first year of Qin Ziying (207 BC), Liu Bang led his army into the supremacy of Xianyang. Prince Qin surrendered and gave the first emperor's seal. After the death of Qin, Liu Bang was the son of emperor, and the seal of the kingdom was passed on to Liu Han. Because of its imperial service, its seal has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is called "Han Chuan Guo Xi", also known as "Han Chuan National Treasure".
At the end of the Western Han Dynasty (AD 8), Wang Mang had the power. At that time, the emperor Ruzi was only 2 years old. It was rumored that the seal of the state was placed in Changle Palace, and was in charge of the emperor of Yuan Dynasty. Wang Mang usurped the throne and established a new dynasty. He sent his brother Shun to ask for it. The Queen Mother cursed: "I am dead, brother, this clan will be annihilated!" He threw the royal seal to the palace, and the jade seal was broken. One corner was later inlaid with gold. In October 23 AD, Wang Mang was killed, and the seal was obtained by the officer-in-charge of the school lieutenant and dedicated to Li Song, the general of the Green Forest Army. Li Song sent someone to give it to Emperor Liu Yun. After Liu Yun was taken captive by the Crimson Eyebrow Army, the official seal fell into the hands of Liu Penzi, who was supported by the Crimson Eyebrow Army as the emperor. Later, Liu Penzi defeated Yiyang and handed over the Seal of the Kingdom to Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the eunuch monopolized power. He Jinmou, a foreign relative, failed to punish the eunuch, but was killed by the eunuch. Yuan Shao led troops into the palace to slay the eunuchs. There was a great chaos in the palace. The Emperor of Han went to the North Palace to seek refuge at night. He did not bring the Seal of the Great Seal to the palace. After returning to the palace, he passed the Seal of the State to check his whereabouts.
In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo rebelled, and the world's powerful men under the leadership of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu attacked Dong Zhuo. Luoyang City was in chaos, and Dong Zhuo abandoned the city and fled to Chang'an. Sun Jian led troops stationed in the palace in the south of Luoyang City. One day, he suddenly discovered that a well in the palace was shining with multicolored lights. Sun Jian felt strange, so he ordered his men to go down the well to visit, but he did not want to find the body of a palace lady. The woman wore a corpse on her neck. After opening the kit, there is a vermilion small box locked with a golden lock. Open the small box, there is a jade seal in it, with the seal script "destined to heaven, life and longevity" on it. The jade seal lacks a small corner. Sun Jian knew that this was Qin Shihuang's "Course of the Kingdom", and it was God's will to make him the emperor. Sun Jian hid the seal in his wife Wu's place. He did not expect that one of his soldiers was a fellow villager with Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao was responsible for this matter. Yuan Shao had the desire to usurp the throne, and of course he wanted to take possession of the "Chuan Guo Xi". He ordered Sun Jian's wife to be detained. Sun Jian was forced to hand over the Yu Xi. Later, the Yuan brothers were defeated by Cao Cao, and the "Jade Seal of the Kingdom" returned to the hands of Emperor Han Xian.
Cao Wei was in the Han Dynasty, and it was said that the Seal of the State was a symbol of "the monarch's ordination", and it fell into the hands of Cao Pi. Cao Pi asked people to inscribe eight official characters on the shoulders of the Chuan Guo Xi'an, "The Great Wei Shou Han Chuan Guo Xi". After receiving Zen in the Western Jin Dynasty, Chuan Guoxi fell into the hands of Sima. Since then, the north was caught in the turbulent situation of the division of the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms. After several rounds, the "Course of the State Seal" fell into the hands of Xie Shang, the general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the West. Xie Shang sent it to the capital Jiankang overnight with three hundred fine horses. To Emperor Mu of the Jin Dynasty, the Seal of the Kingdom returned to the Sima Family of the Jin Dynasty. In 420 AD, Liu Yu abolished Emperor Gong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and established himself as emperor. His country name was Song, and he was called Liu Song in history. In the Southern Dynasties, the official seal of the Kingdom went through the changes of Song, Qi, Liang and Chen. During Emperor Liang Wu of the Southern Dynasties, the general Hou Jing rebelled and broke through the official city. He was robbed of the "Cherish State Seal". Soon after Hou Jing was defeated, his general Hou Zijian threw the jade seal into the well of Qixia Temple, and a monk collected the jade seal. After leaving the collection, his disciples later dedicated the Yuxi to Emperor Wu Chen. After Yang Jian established the Sui Dynasty, in 589 AD, Chen was destroyed and the whole country was unified, and the jade seal of the country was passed into the Sui Palace. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Taizong Li Shimin had no jade seal of the country, so he engraved several jade seals such as "Shoumingbao" and "Dingmingbao" to masturbate. In 630 AD, Li Jing led his army to crusade against the Turks. In the same year, the Queen of Xiao and the prince Yuande returned to the Central Plains after carrying the Turks, and the seal of the country belonged to the Tang Dynasty. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and the heroes were everywhere. After Zhu and Wen usurped the Tang Dynasty, "The Seal of the Kingdom" suffered another bad luck. After Tang Fei Emperor was defeated by Khitan, he set himself on fire, and Yuxi was also burned. His whereabouts are unknown. A week after Guo Wei's founding, he could not find the seal of the state, and he had no choice but to engrave the seal of "Emperor Shenbao" and other seals, and it was passed down to the Northern Song Dynasty. During the time of Zhezong in the Northern Song Dynasty, a farmer found the Seal of the Chuan Kingdom while plowing the fields and sent it to the court. According to various researches based on the records of previous dynasties, thirteen academicians have determined that this is the seal of the state made by the first emperor. However, there are some insightful people in the ruling and opposition parties who doubt its authenticity. In the first year of Song Jingkang (AD 1126), the Jinbing broke the Bianliang, the two emperors of Huiqin and Qin were looted, and the "Chuan Guoxi" was also looted by the Dajin Kingdom, and then disappeared.
In 1294 AD, Kublai Khan, Shizu of the Yuan Dynasty, suddenly appeared in the market in Dadu, and Boyan ordered the people to buy it. From then on, the Yuxi was included in Dayuan. Boyan once polished the seals collected by the Yuan Empire from various places, and distributed them to the ministers to engrave private seals. In 1368 AD, Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor in Jiankang and built Daming. The court of Dayuan fled to the Mongolian grasslands. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Ming Taizu sent Xu Da to Mobei to pursue the escaped Mongol court, hoping to get the Seal of the Kingdom, and eventually returned empty-handed. So far, the Royal Seal, which has experienced more than 1,500 years of ups and downs, has been lost in the long river of history.
In the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were occasional clamors about the appearance of the "Jade Seal of the Kingdom", but they were all fakes and fakes. In the thirteenth year of Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty (1500 AD), a Shaanxi man received a jade seal, allegedly passing on the seal of the state, presenting Ming Xiaozong, but Ming Xiaozong was deeply skeptical and did not adopt it. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, it is said that the Seal of the Chuan Kingdom, which was brought to Mobei by Emperor Yuanshun, was owned by his descendant Lin Danhan. After Lin Danhan was defeated, the seal fell into the hands of Emperor Taizong of Houjin. Therefore, Emperor Taiji was called emperor. "Daqing" means to occupy the Central Plains and replace the rule of the Ming Dynasty. In the early Qing Dynasty, there were 39 imperial seals in the Jiaotai Hall of the Forbidden City. One of the jade seals engraved with the characters "Owned to heaven, life and longevity" was called the Chuan Guoxi Seal. But when Qianlong ordered the imperial seal, he excluded this jade seal. It can be seen that this is a forgery of the "Courtesy of the State Seal". Until November 1912, Feng Yuxiang launched a coup in Beijing, and the last emperor Pu Yi was expelled from the palace by Feng Yuxiang. At that time, General Feng's Lu Zhonglin and others pursued this inlaid golden jade seal, and there is still no follow-up. It is said that Yuxi is now in the Palace Museum in Taiwan. This is just a guess, and Taiwan has not admitted this.
The reason is that after more than two thousand years of ups and downs, the number of "Jade Seals of the Kingdom" is looming. Since the King’s Seal disappeared during the Five Dynasties, this national treasure is hard to tell. So, where is the real Seal of the Kingdom? No one can answer.
