Heshi Bi was first published in the Chinese Eastern Zhou Dynasty book "Han Feizi Heshi": it was first discovered during the Spring and Autumn Period by a jade smith named Bian He in the Chu state.
Bian He was dedicated to King Li of Chu, who asked Yugong to identify him, who said it was just an ordinary stone, and Bian He had his foot cut off.
After King Wu of Chu succeeded to the throne, Bian He offered another stone, and the result was that it was still a stone, and he was cut off by another foot.
After King Wen of Chu succeeded to the throne, he asked the jade workers to cut open the jade and obtain a piece of beautiful jade, which was named Heshi Bi.
The Warring States Policy records that Heshi Bi has always been a national treasure of the Chu State, and during the chu Wei Dynasty, He Shi Bi was given the Zhaoyang Lingyin who had made meritorious contributions to attacking the State of Wei, and once Zhaoyang took out he Shi Bi for guests to visit when he set up a banquet to entertain the guests, at this time some of the guests suddenly became booed and stole the He Shi Bi on the table.
After that, Heshi Bi passed through the hands of people and came to the Zhao Kingdom. According to the Chinese Canonical History, the "Records of History" records that in the 3rd century BC, he shibi was owned by King Huiwen of Zhao, the monarch of the Zhao state during the Warring States period, and later there is a story of the return of the bi to Zhao.
In 228 BC, the State of Qin annexed the State of Zhao, and the HeshiBi was eventually owned by the State of Qin.
In 221 BC, qin destroyed the six kingdoms, as a symbol of the national prestige of the Qin Empire, Heshi Bi was carved into a national seal, and engraved with the Qin Empire minister Li Si wrote "ordered by heaven, both Shou Yongchang" 8 insect and bird seal characters, since then Heshi Bi has become the emperor's treasure seal and the symbol of heavenly imperial power.
Successive generations of people who wanted to seek the throne of the emperor fought for it, resulting in the succession of the national seal changing hands repeatedly, appearing suddenly, and finally disappearing.
Ming Feng Menglong said, "Can laugh at Bian and sacrifice treasure stupidly, how to complete the world knows." "Come and question Bian and xianbao and the return of Bibi to Zhao."
Heshi Bi is a false testimony:
First, Bian He is an experienced jade smith, but he lost two feet in order to offer treasure, and can only tell the silly cuteness of the story. Why don't you ask someone to dissect the jade and give it again? If the first time because of inexperience, why did the last two times also make a fool of it? Aren't you afraid of losing your life because of it?
Second, it is false to carve a jade seal into a national jade seal
Bi is an ancient jade vessel that is flattened, round, with holes in the middle. Since it is a bi, how can it be made into a national jade seal?
Seal: The first Qin Dynasty, is the emperor's special seal, called jade seal, chuanguo seal, chuanguo jade seal.
How does a flat, hole-in-the-middle Heshi Bi be made into a national jade seal? Puzzling!
