According to historical records, this seal was carved from Lantian white jade, with a chi tiger button, or a dragon, fish, and bird button. The inscription on the jade seal was the eight characters "Ordered by heaven, you will live forever" written in large seal script by Prime Minister Li Si.
In the records after the Six Dynasties, most people believe that the imperial seal used by Qin Shihuang was modified from the Heshi Bi.
When Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, he sent someone to ask for the imperial seal from his aunt, Wang Zhengjun, the Queen Mother of Xiaoyuan of Han Dynasty.
At that time, Wang Zhengjun was so angry that he smashed the jade seal on the ground, causing a corner of the jade seal to be broken. He later repaired it with gold, leaving flaws from then on.
This is the famous imperial seal in history. It is the national treasure that every emperor wants to obtain.
This is something that all ambitious people dream about.
Unfortunately, it eventually disappeared into the long river of history.
During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the spread of the imperial seal was very clear.
After Liu Bang defeated Qin and conquered the world, Ziying dedicated the imperial seal to Liu Bang, and the imperial seal became a "national treasure passed down from the Han Dynasty".
By the time of Dong Zhuo's rebellion at the end of the Han Dynasty, the imperial seal had fallen into the hands of Sun Jian and Yuan Shu, and then passed on to the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
During the Five Hus and Sixteenth Kingdoms, it was once lost to the powerful powers, and was later inherited by the Southern Dynasties.
After the death of the Sui Dynasty, the imperial seal was taken to the Turks by Empress Xiao of the Sui Dynasty. It was not until the fourth year of Zhenguan reign of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty (AD 630) that the imperial seal returned to the Tang Dynasty.
During the Five Dynasties, the world was in chaos, and the imperial seals that had been circulated were unknown.
In other words, since the Song Dynasty, there has been no national jade seal.
In ancient times, the imperial seal was the symbol of the emperor.
Putting a jade seal on the imperial edict represents authority and the emperor's golden words.
There are many jade seals, and different documents are stamped with different jade seals.
But the jade seal passed down to the country is "the only one in this family with no semicolon", it is unique and sacred.
The imperial seal was handed over by the old emperor to the prince who succeeded the throne in front of all the ministers before his death, as a sign of passing on my world to the next new emperor.
The Sui Dynasty ended the confrontation between the north and the south and took back the imperial seal, which was then passed on to the Tang Dynasty from the Sui Dynasty.
During these more than 1,000 years, the imperial seals were either passed down from father to son, and from son to grandson, or were taken away by generals or eunuchs and changed dynasties.
Everyone has a sacred pursuit of the Jade Seal of the Kingdom. Only with the Jade Seal of the Kingdom in hand, becoming the emperor is the destiny.
But at the end of the Tang Dynasty, Chinese history once again fell into the chaos of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. Emperors changed like a revolving door. In such troubled times, the imperial seal disappeared.
Therefore, when the imperial seal was passed to the Song Dynasty, it had already disappeared.
The Song Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty all searched for the jade seal passed down from the country, but every time they returned in vain.
Where did the Imperial Seal go? After numerous studies, there are three theories until now.
The first theory is that when the Tang Dynasty died, the officials in charge of the jade seal of the country threw it into the palace pond. The pond was full of silt. Later, during the troubled times, it was never fished out again.
The second theory is that in the early years of the Five Dynasties after the Liang Dynasty, someone got the jade seal of the state, but this person felt that he could not give it away and he was not capable of becoming an emperor, so he buried the jade seal deep underground and became an unknown person.
's secret.
The third theory is that during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, those who competed to become emperors were all warriors who did not understand etiquette. They no longer had the old orthodox concept in their hearts that whoever gets the jade seal would win the world. It is very likely that they destroyed the jade seal passed down to the country and made it into
I bought some jade jewelry.
According to these three theories, if it is the third one, then Chen Wenzhe may one day be able to collect the jade seal to pass down the country.
Even if a lot of pieces are broken, he can still collect them piece by piece.
But if it's the first or second situation, he's afraid he'll never find it again.
Therefore, starting from the Song Dynasty, all the imperial jade seals that appeared were fakes.
For example, in the Song Dynasty, Cai Jing donated the fake national jade seal.
In the Liao Dynasty, the imperial seal left by the Liao lord Hong Yanxi in Sanggan River must be a fake imperial seal.
The facts are obvious. After a major defeat, even though they fled in confusion, even the imperial seal was left in the Sanggan River, which is an exaggeration.
How did you obtain the imperial seal left behind by Hong Yanxi, the Lord of the Liao Dynasty mentioned in this historical fact?
This point is worthy of investigation. Did the Lord of Liao get it from the Song Dynasty before?
It is certain that even if it is obtained from the Song Dynasty, it is not a reappearance of the lost jade seal of the country, let alone a jade seal of the country in the true sense.
Of course, it also existed in the Yuan Dynasty. Yang Yingkui, the censor of the Southern Song Dynasty, once presented a jade seal passed down to the Yuan army to the Yuan army.
Although the Chuan Guo Xi mentioned here is called Chuan Guo Xi, this is a false name and it is also a fake Chuan Guo Seal.
Because, according to historical research, so far, in the history of the Song Dynasty, no lost jade seal has ever been found.
Could it be that in the Southern Song Dynasty, when the Yuan army invaded, wars raged, and they were unable to resist, and were about to perish, would the imperial court still possess the long-lost imperial seal?
In the Song Dynasty, if any generation mentioned the Chuanguo Seal, the one they inherited must have been concocted by Song Huizong, not the real Chuanguo Seal that was lost and recovered.
It didn’t exist in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was simply not mentioned because the jade seals that had appeared were even more unreliable.
Therefore, the so-called national jade seals that are now circulated and brought to the grasslands by the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty are also fake!
"Did they really get broken into pieces? They couldn't have been carved into small pieces of jade, right?"
Touching the small seal in his hand, Chen Wenzhe felt a little melancholy.
However, his mood improved in the blink of an eye. Could it be that if he really found the Imperial Seal, how could he still absorb it?
As soon as I thought about it, the Bagua flashed in my palm.
Under the golden light, the small seal in his hand softened quickly, then disappeared into his palm and disappeared.
After a little reflection, Chen Wenzhe discovered that the Sui Marquis Pearl had not changed much this time.
However, there are still changes, and they are very useful changes.
Having swallowed a bead before, the Sui Hou Pearl allows him to check the past memory of the artifact at any time, but that is just checking, and it can only be checked.
Although the image can be retained in the Pearl of Sui Hou for him to study later, the learning process is still too troublesome compared to the previous one.
But this time it was different. After absorbing this small seal, he could not only watch videos, but now also have an immersive experience.
Just like accepting the inheritance in the past, now he can enter any image recorded inside the Sui Marquis Pearl and conduct virtual dream learning.
It turns out that it can only record images and doesn't have much intelligence.
This time Chen Wenzhe discovered that the experiences of various treasures he obtained today have been sorted out.
Some useless information will be deleted directly, and duplicate content will only be retained for the next time.
It turned out that this required his personal confirmation before the Pearl of Sui Hou could delete part of the information, but now it can make its own judgment.
The functions of the Sui Marquis Pearl have become more useful and powerful, and this treasure hunt seems to be coming to an end.
