When Bian He was working in Shan Ye, a pair of phoenixes often landed on the Phoenix Terrace, sounded three times, or flew into the rocks, or went north in the air. Bian and I heard people say that "the phoenix never falls into a land without treasures", and I also heard grandpa talk about the types of stones and the characteristics of precious stones.
So, he carefully observed the movement of Phoenix entering the cave, and finally found that Phoenix came here to fill the jade with cinnabar from Qian Shan. Bian He chiseled a stone that was different from the surrounding area and brought it back for grandpa to see. Grandpa exclaimed, "This is a gem."
The whole family discussed it and dedicated it to the king of Chu, making Chu famous all over the world. However, once and twice, he was described as a stubborn stone by the lingering sound, and was ordered by Li He, the king of Chu, to cut off his feet on charges of cheating you.
The third offering of jade touched King Wen of Chu, and ordered the jade worker to cut the jade, named it "Heshibi", and sealed it safely to zero (mausoleum) Yanghou. He refused to accept it, saying, "Baoyu is available, and I wish it would be enough." This rare treasure has produced countless thrilling stories on the land of China for thousands of years.
He Shibi's story: In the ninth year of Qin Dynasty, he made a royal seal. After Liu Bang conquered the Qin Dynasty, Zi Ying presented Liu Bang with the imperial seal, which became a "national treasure of the Han Dynasty". By the end of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the imperial seal had fallen into the hands of Sun Jian and Yuan Shu, and then spread to Wei and Jin Dynasties. During the period of Five Lakes and Sixteen Countries, it was once a powerful country, which was later inherited by the Southern Dynasties.
After the death of the Sui Dynasty, the imperial seal was brought to Turkey by Xiao Huanghou in the Sui Dynasty, and was returned to the Tang Dynasty in the fourth year of Emperor Taizong's Zhenguan (AD 630). During the Five Dynasties, there was chaos in the world, and no one knew about the decree. In the records after the Six Dynasties, it is generally believed that the imperial seal used by Qin Shihuang was transformed from the imperial seal.
When Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, he sent someone to ask his aunt Wang Zhengjun, the empress dowager of Han Dynasty, for the imperial seal. At that time, Wang was furious and threw the jade seal on the ground, causing the corner of the jade seal to collapse. Later, it was replenished with gold, leaving a flaw mark.

Historical rumor: In 228 BC, the State of Qin destroyed the State of Zhao, and Heshibi finally fell into the hands of the State of Qin. Unfortunately, He Shibi disappeared from the historical records. Legend has it that after Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, he made a national seal of Heshibi.
Let's just say whether the country's decree is jade. After Qin Shihuang unified China, he did let a jade worker carve a jade seal, which was called the "Imperial Seal". According to historical records, this seal is carved from white jade in Lantian, Shaanxi Province, with buttons for killing tigers and dragons and phoenixes. The inscription on the seal was written by Prime Minister Li Si in the form of a big seal, which read "Long live by orders from heaven".
