If you are ordered by heaven, you will live a long and prosperous life
After Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, he made the He family's jade into a national jade seal.
Regardless of whether the jade seal passed down to the country was made of Heshi jade, after Qin Shihuang unified China, he indeed ordered jade workers to carve an emperor's jade seal, which he called the "Emperor's Seal." According to historical records, this seal was carved from white jade from Lantian, Shaanxi Province, with a tiger button. It is said that the inscription on the jade seal with a dragon, fish, phoenix and bird button was the eight characters "Ordered by Heaven, and you will live forever" written in large seal script by Prime Minister Li Si.
The jade seal text
The official seal text says, "If you receive orders from heaven, you will live forever." The "Book of Han" text says "Haotian's destiny, the emperor's longevity". The two are different, generally referring to the first statement.
Another: At that time, some people suspected that Zhang Dun and Cai Jing had forged the imperial seal obtained by Emperor Zhezong of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Also: False seals also appeared from time to time during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty once received the so-called imperial seal, which Emperor Xiaozong thought was fake at the time. In the early Qing Dynasty, there were thirty-nine imperial seals of various colors hidden in the palace, one of which was considered to be the imperial seal made by Qin. In 1746 AD, It was approved by Emperor Qianlong and confirmed to be a fake. In November 1924, when the last emperor Puyi was expelled from the palace, Zhang Bi, Lu Zhonglin and others were still pursuing the jade seal passed down to the country.
Another: "History of Liao" records that "the Wei Dynasty received the national treasure passed down by the Han Dynasty". I thought it should be "the Wei Dynasty received the national seal passed down by the Han Dynasty". During the Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian changed "seal" to "treasure", which should be that Times have changed. "History of the Liao Dynasty" records: "A national treasure passed down, made by Qin Shihuang, made of blue jade, Qia Niu, six sides, the main text is "Ordered by the sky, and you will live forever", in fish and bird seal script, Ziying is the ancestor of the Han Dynasty. Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, and Ping Ping The queen cast the seal on the steps of the palace, and the Chijiao was slightly stained. Sun Jian found it in the well and passed it on to Sun Quan. Emperor Wen of the Wei Dynasty inscribed it on the shoulder and said, "The great Wei Dynasty received the national treasure from the Han Dynasty." The Jin Dynasty returned to the Liao Dynasty. Since the Three Kingdoms, the tyrannical countries have often imitated the private system, and the treasuries of the past dynasties have not been able to distinguish the authenticity. In the seventh year of Xi's reign, he was tested as a Jinshi with the title "Those who have passed down the national treasure as the orthodox ode". In the second year of Tianzuo's reign, the imperial seal was passed down to Sanggan River. Under the Qin system, the emperor had six seals, and there were also national seals passed down from generation to generation. In the Tang Dynasty, it was changed to Bao, with eight systems. The Five Dynasties were separated in chaos, and many were lost. ".
Also: "Wei Benji" recorded that two jade seals were found in a destroyed clay statue. The text said: "If you are ordered by heaven, you will live forever." At this moment, it said " Wei received the imperial seal passed down from Han Dynasty".
