What is Cui's story?
Heshibi is a famous jade in the history of China. This piece of jade was discovered by Bian He, a native of Chu, when he was chopping wood in Jingshan Mountain, and was later presented to Li, the king of Chu.

There is such a story about Cui's story and origin. It is said that Bian He, a Chu man, found this rough jade and presented it to the Queen Li Chu. When King Li Chu had it identified as an ordinary stone, King Li Chu, who felt cheated, had Bian He's left kneecap cut off directly. When Chu Wuwang became queen, Bian He once again presented a treasure with jade. After King Wu found someone to identify him, he still gave the same conclusion. He sent someone directly to cut off his right kneecap. When the King of Chu was made queen, Bian He cried at the foot of Jingshan Mountain with this rough jade in his arms. King Wen told someone to open the jade directly after learning about it, and found a rare treasure jade in it, named He Shibi.

Since the appearance of He Shibi, it has directly become the national treasure of Chu State. It was not until later that Chu proposed to Zhao State that he arrived in Zhao State. Then there is an allusion about He Shibi, who returned to Zhao intact. After the King of Qin unified the six countries, He Shibi naturally fell into the hands of the King of Qin, and was finally directly carved into a decree symbolizing imperial power.
