When it comes to Yuxi, I believe that everyone is not unfamiliar, even if they have not seen the real thing, the TV is not less watched, and they should all know its symbolic significance. During the Warring States period, almost every overlord had a national seal of his own country, which was generally used on major occasions, and was a status symbol.
This situation was not until Qin Shi Huang unified the Six Kingdoms, some changes, after Qin Shi Huang unified the world, he believed that the title of king was not enough to show his merits, so he took the word "emperor" in the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to call himself, and also compared himself to Zu Long.' As a result, the national seal was transformed into a national seal, and Qin Shi Huang became the first emperor to have a national seal.
In addition to this name, the national seal also has the title of jade seal, which is because according to legend, Qin Shi Huang created the national seal with heshi bi, so because of its material, it is called jade seal. However, there has always been a question about The Jade Seal, that is, whenever there is a rebellion, they will try to take the Jade Seal by all means, so why don't they find a man-made one themselves, isn't it more convenient?
In fact, this idea itself is unrealistic, first of all, the first point is that such an important thing as the national seal is not something that ordinary people can imitate, after all, if you want to imitate it, you have to know what the jade seal looks like, and almost all the people who have seen the jade seal are ministers who can go to the court, even if they have seen it, the subtleties cannot be the same.
Then there is the selection of jade seals is very exquisite, and the grains on the jade are unique, and they cannot be imitated if they want to. Moreover, the rebels have all embarked on this path, naturally they have put life and death aside, so there is no need to imitate, and the reason why these people want to get the jade seal is only for one thing, that is, fame.
After Qin Shi Huang created the first national seal, the meaning of its representative became the national orthodoxy, and then after Liu Bang got the world, the prince of Qin handed this national seal to Liu Bang, which is actually an acknowledgment of identity, until the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, many princes earned their heads and blood for a piece of jade seal, in fact, in order to get this orthodox name. However, this piece of jade seal handed down from Qin Shi Huang, until the time of Li Congke, the late Tang Emperor five generations later, disappeared with a fire, and its whereabouts became a mystery.
