The idiom of the complete bi return to Zhao believes that everyone knows, the original meaning is that Lin Xiangru will be like the general and the clan bi, brought back to the Zhao state from the Qin state intact, and then the metaphor will return the items to the owner in good condition, which is from the "History of Lian Po Lin Xiangru Biography".
01
In this allusion, the Zhonghe Clan Bi belongs to the State of Zhao, but in fact, the HeShi Bi was originally a thing of the Chu State.
Legend has it that during the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a jade master in the Chu kingdom named Bian He, who got a piece of jade in Jingshan, and Bian He presented the jade to King Chu Li, but the jade worker said that it was an ordinary stone, and King Chu Li was furious and cut off Bian he and his left foot for the crime of deceiving the king.
Later, when King Wu succeeded to the throne, Bian He took Pu Yu to see King Wu, and as a result, King Wu also treated him as a rotten stone, and as a result, Bian He was cut off his right foot again.
After King Wen succeeded to the throne, he saw Bian He crying and asked why. Bian He said that he did not cry because his feet were cut off, but that Meiyu was treated as a stone, and Zhongliang was treated as a traitor and was punished with this innocence.
After hearing this, King Wen chiseled open the jade and found that it was really a piece of jade that was really a good jade in the world, and gave him the name and clan bi.

During the Warring States period, the yin and yang of heshibi fell into the hands of King Huiwen of Zhao, and when King Zhaoxiang of Qin heard about it, he sent emissaries saying that he was willing to exchange 15 cities for heshibi.
At that time, the qin state was far stronger than the zhao state, and the king of Zhao did not dare to refuse, but he was afraid of the deception of the qin state, so he hesitated.
At this time, Miao Xian said that his protégé Lin Xiangru could go to the Qin Kingdom to send Heshi Bi.
Lin Xiangru is a disciple of Miao Xian, but his talent has been greatly appreciated, and it is precisely because of Miao Xian's recommendation that Lin Xiangru has the opportunity to go to the Qin Kingdom and be reused by the King of Zhao.
Although Lin Xiangru was greatly praised by Miao Xian, King Zhao still did not believe in his ability, so he summoned Lin Xiangru to inform the King of Qin of his request and his worries.
Lin Xiangru replied that Zhao Guo's failure to give Meiyu was a loss to Zhao Guo, but Qin Guo's failure to give the city was a loss to the Qin State, and the two phases still agreed to let the Qin State bear this responsibility.
He assured the King of Zhao that if he got the city pool, he would leave the jade in the Qin State, and if the Qin State wanted to repent, he would definitely bring Heshi Bi back to the Zhao Kingdom intact.
King Zhao was very appreciative of Lin Xiangru's talent and courage, so he sent him to the Qin Kingdom to deliver jade.

Lin Xiangru came to the Qin Kingdom and gave Meiyu to the King of Qin, who saw that Meiyu liked it very much and gave it to the concubines and ministers to read and appreciate each other, but did not mention the city at all.
Lin Xiangru knew very well that the King of Qin wanted to repent, so he pretended to say to the King of Qin, "There is a red dot on this piece of jade, and I will point it out to the King."
The King of Qin ordered the jade to be handed over to Lin Xiangru, who took Heshi bi and stepped back to the pillar, angrily saying to the king of Qin: "The great king sent a letter to Zhao Guo who wanted to be with the clan bi, and the Zhao kingdom was worried that the great king would cheat, but I felt that the commoners still had integrity in getting along with each other, not to mention between the big powers, if the king must force me, I would crash into the pillar with the heshi bi."
The King of Qin saw that Lin Xiangru really wanted to crush Meiyu, so he used the strategy of slowing down the army, saying that he was willing to exchange the city pool, but Lin Xiangru knew that the King of Qin was pretending to compromise.
Lin Xiangru said, "King Zhao fasted for five days in order to be with shibi, and the king should do the same."
The King of Qin agreed to Lin Xiangru's request, but Lin Xiangru took advantage of his lack of preparation and let his retinue secretly return to the Zhao Kingdom with Heshi bi.
Five days later, Lin Xiangru told the truth to the King of Qin, saying that he hoped that the State of Qin would first divide the fifteen cities and pools to the State of Zhao, and then have people send Heshibi back to the State of Qin, saying that he was willing to be tortured for deceiving the King.
After weighing it up, the King of Qin felt that the diplomatic relations between the two countries should not be destroyed for a piece of jade, so he treated Lin Xiangru and sent him back to the Zhao Kingdom. This is the story of Lin Xiangru's return to Zhao.

Because of Lin Xiangru's wit, he was appointed as Shangqing by King Zhao and was highly valued by King Zhao.
At that time, there was a capable minister in the State of Zhao called Lian Po, who was dissatisfied with a doorman who was suddenly higher than his position, and often embarrassed Lin Xiangru, but Lin Xiangru had always tolerated it for the sake of the overall situation.
Lian Po was touched by his magnanimity and pleaded guilty to him, and the two became friends.
The three things that completed the return to Zhao, the guilt of the jing, and the meeting of the pond were the most glorious things in Lin Xiangru's life.
These three things also seem to be the epitome of his life, from which we can see that Lin Xiangru is a calm, calm, brave and decisive, talented and strategic person.
At the same time, Lin Xiangru is also a person who treats people with leniency, attaches great importance to the overall situation everywhere, and his temperament is admirable, so it is no wonder that such a person has succeeded.

The State of Chu, the State of Zhao, and the State of Qin should all be the most precious treasures of the Heshi Bi, what is so special about this piece of jade, loved by so many monarchs?
In fact, Heshi Bi was just a piece of jade before. However, after Qin Shi Huang unified the Six Kingdoms, he asked skilled craftsmen to carve this jade into the emperor's seal, which was later called the jade seal.
In the war years, the experience of this piece of jade seal can be described as a turbulent displacement, it fell into the hands of Liu Bang, Sun Jian and others, then to the State of Wei, then from Sui to Tang, and finally to the hands of Li Cunmao.
However, due to the fall of the country, he and his concubines set themselves on fire in the palace, and the whereabouts of this piece of national jade seal are also unknown. As a result, Heshibi became one of the ten most unaccounted for treasures in Chinese history.
Heshi Bi is just a piece of beautiful jade, although King Zhao did not get the city of Qin, but got such a talent as Lin Xiang, in a sense, the value of King Zhao and Shi Bi is far more than the jade itself, and Lin Xiang is like him, it is far more precious than fifteen cities, and talent has always been unattainable.
