In order to make the Qin Dynasty reign for nineteen years, in the first 228 years, the State of Qin defeated Zhao and won He Shibi. The world is unified, and Ying Zheng is called the first emperor. Li Si's seal script was ordered to be "ordered by heaven, long live", and Sun Shou, a jade worker in Xianyang, carved a seal with Shi Bi. Adopt national decrees. According to legend, in the 28th year of King Qin (2 19 BC), Qin Shihuang crossed Dongting Lake by dragon boat, and the wind and waves suddenly broke out, and the dragon boat was about to capsize. Qin Shihuang hurriedly threw the imperial seal into the lake and prayed to the gods to calm the waves. The decree was lost. Eight years later, someone gave this national seal to Pingshu Road in Huayin. Naturally, it changed hands with the country for more than a dozen times and tasted the pain of rough displacement. In the winter of the first year of Zi Ying, Qin Dynasty (207 BC), Pei Gong Liu Bangjun ascended the throne, and Zi Ying, the king of Qin, knelt down and presented a decree to the left of Xianyang Road, and Qin died. Liu Han won the national seal. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, consort Wang Mang usurped power. When the child was young, the seal was hidden in the Queen Mother of Changle Palace. Wang Mang sent his younger brother Wang Shun to ask for it. The queen mother was angry, scolded it, threw a seal on the ground and broke its corner. Make it up with gold. The barbarian soldiers were defeated and died. The satrap Gong Bin handed the national seal to Wan and presented it to Mao. In the third year of the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (AD 25), the Red Eyebrow Army killed Liu Xuan and established Liu Penzi. After Liu Pengzi defeated Yiyang, he handed the national seal to Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty. By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, eunuchs were authoritarian. In the sixth year of Xi Ping, Yuan Shao entered the palace to kill eunuchs, Duan Gui fled with the emperor, and the decree disappeared. Sun Jian's men found the "Imperial Seal" on the neck tip of a maid-in-waiting in Gong Zhenjing, south of Luoyang. Sun Jian regarded it as an auspicious omen, so he began his dream of being an emperor. Unexpectedly, someone in the Sun Jian army informed Yuan Shao about it. When Yuan Shao heard about it, he immediately detained Sun Jian's wife and forced Sun Jian to hand over the decree. Later, the Yuan Shao brothers were defeated, and the "national decree" was returned to Emperor Han Xian.
The three countries have stood firm, the decree belongs to Wei, the three countries are unified, and the decree belongs to gold. At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, the north fell into an era of frequent regime changes and turbulence. "State decrees" are constantly being questioned and deprived. In the fifth year of Yongjia (AD 3 1 1), the imperial seal was restored. In the fourth year of Xianhe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 329), the post-Zhao destroyed the former Zhao and obtained the imperial seal; Ran Min, the post-Zhao general, killed Shi Jian and regained the imperial seal. In the Southern Dynasties, when he arrived in Liang Wudi, Hou Jing rebelled and was deprived of the imperial edict. Shortly after Hou Jing's defeat, the imperial seal was put into a well in qixia temple, fished out and kept by monks in the temple, and then presented to Chen Wudi.
After Zhu Wen usurped the Tang Dynasty in the Five Dynasties, the imperial seal suffered bad luck again. Li Congke, the deposed emperor in the later Tang Dynasty, was defeated by Qidan and set himself on fire with a decree. So far, the whereabouts of the jade seal are unknown.
True and false national laws and regulations
After Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, Huang San, who thought he had made great contributions to the country, could no longer match the king of Qin. According to legend, the three emperors and five emperors are collectively called "emperors" and call themselves "I", which also indicates the exclusive status of the emperor. Qin Shihuang also established some name systems consistent with the title of emperor. If the emperor's order involves the system, it is called "system", and the decree informing the subjects is called "order". In addition, it is also stipulated that only the emperor's seal can be called "seal". To this end, Qin Shihuang also ordered Tian Shangong to make a jade seal with the beautiful jade of Lantian Mountain, and the seal buckle was carved in the shape of a dragon fish phoenix. Li Si, the Prime Minister, wrote the words "Life for me to live forever" with a big seal and engraved it on the imperial seal, which was called "Guo Chuan Xi". From then on, "Guo Chuan Xi" began its legendary experience.
After Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, he made five large-scale national cruises, each with a thrilling experience. According to legend, Qin Shihuang once toured Dongting Lake, and the wind and waves were rough. Seeing that Qin Shihuang's boat was about to capsize, in desperation, Qin Shihuang threw the imperial seal he carried with him into the lake. Suddenly the lake was calm, but the imperial seal sank to the bottom of the lake and disappeared. Eight years later, Qin Shihuang's traveling team walked in Huayin, Shaanxi. Suddenly, someone stopped in front of the escorted chariots and horses and said to Qin Shihuang's entourage, "Please give this jade seal to Zulong." As soon as the words were finished, people disappeared, and the "national seal" returned to the hands of Qin Shihuang.
At the end of the Qin dynasty, there was chaos in the world. Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty, led the army into Guanzhong, and Prince Ying of Qin, who had been emperor for 46 days, presented Liu Bang with a "national seal". After more than a hundred battles, Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu, the overlord of the Western Chu Dynasty, and established the Han Dynasty in four years. When Liu Bang ascended the throne, he wore a "national seal". In the Western Han Dynasty, "Guo Chuan Xi" was preserved in Changle Palace and became a symbol of imperial power. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Sima Wangmang monopolized state affairs. Anxious to usurp the throne, he ordered Hou Wangshun of Anyang to force the queen mother to hand over the "official seal". The queen mother saw that Liu Jiangshan was about to fall into the hands of follwed, but she was helpless. In a rage, she threw the jade seal on the ground, and the tiger carved on the jade seal was collapsed. Wang Mang took the "national seal" with a missing horn, pretending to be a pitiful sample that the destiny could not be violated. With tears in his eyes, he pulled the little emperor off the throne and boarded the throne he dreamed of. After that, let the craftsman fill the missing corner of the jade seal with gold.
The peasant uprising broke out before Wang Mang's throne was secure. The peasant army established Liu Xuan as the new emperor, and the army that started a new stove took the lead in attacking the capital Chang 'an. Seeing that the tide was gone, Wang Mang fled with the "official seal" and was stabbed to death by businessman Du Wu. Wei Gongbin, who resumed the military academy, cut off follwed's head, took the "official seal" from follwed and gave it to his boss Song Li. Song Li presented the official seal to the new emperor. At this time, another peasant army, Red Eyebrow Army, also entered Chang 'an and made Cowherd Liu Penzi emperor. The first emperor knew that he was no match for the Red Eyebrow Army, so he had to be sealed and surrendered. Later, Liu Penzi presented the imperial seal to Liu Xiu, and he ascended the throne with the "national seal". Since then, the jade seal has been handed down from generation to generation in the hands of the Eastern Han emperors.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo rebelled, and the world powers headed by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu crusaded against Dong Zhuo. In Luoyang, Dong Zhuo abandoned the city and fled to Chang 'an. Sun Jian led his army to the palace in the south of Luoyang. One day, he suddenly found colorful lights shining in a well in the palace. Sun Jian felt strange and ordered his men to go down to the well to salvage a woman's body. This woman is wearing a tool kit around her neck. When she opened it, she found a scarlet box locked with a gold lock. The gold lock was opened. There is a decree on it, which says "Life me to live forever". Sun Jian knew that this was the official seal of Qin Shihuang, and secretly pleased that God had made him emperor. Unexpectedly, one of his soldiers told Yuan Shao about it. Yuan Shaozheng has the heart to compile the paper, of course, he wants to possess the "official seal". He detained Sun Jian's wife and Sun Jian was forced to hand over the imperial seal. Later, yuan brothers was defeated by Cao Cao, and the "official seal" returned to the hands of Emperor Han Xian.
After the death of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the "national seal" came to Cao Wei and the Western Jin Dynasty. Since then, the northern part of China has been in a state of split and turbulence. The national seal was circulated several times and fell into the hands of Xie Shang, the general of the Western Expedition in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, who presented it to the court in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. During the Southern Dynasties in Liang Wudi, Hou Jing rebelled, attacked Miyagi and stole his "national seal". Hou Jing was soon defeated. His ministry, Hou Zijian, threw the seal into a well in qixia temple, and a monk took it out for safekeeping. Later, his disciples gave it to Chen Wudi.
After the Sui Dynasty returned to Chen, it was owned by Emperor Yangdi. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the "national seal" was still regarded as a treasure by the rulers. After Zhu Wen usurped the Tang Dynasty, the "Chuan Guo Xi" suffered bad luck again. In the later Tang Dynasty, the abolished emperor was defeated by the Khitan, climbed the building and set himself on fire, and the imperial seal was also burned, and his whereabouts were unknown. Until the Bei Ning period of Tang Zhezong, a Xianyang man named Duan Yi presented the imperial seal to the court. When Jin Jun and Jin Bing invaded the south, they took away the jade seal and later owned it by the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. When the Ming Dynasty destroyed the Yuan Dynasty, Mongolian tribes brought the imperial seal to Mobei. Since then, the "national seal" has disappeared.
"If you get the treasure, you will get this country. If you lose your treasure, you will lose your country. " Since "Guo Chuan Xi" has been regarded as a treasure to protect the country and defend the country in the past dynasties, it is destined to compete, and this small imperial seal reflects a historical picture with changing times and intertwined destinies.
