From the publication of the official seal, the legendary experience began. Legend has it that in 2 19 BC, when Qin Shihuang was touring Dongting Lake in the south, the wind and waves suddenly broke out and his ship was about to be destroyed. The first emperor threw the jade seal into the lake and sacrificed the waves to the gods so that he could cross the lake safely. Eight years later, when he went to Pingshu Road in Huayin, someone stood on the road with a jade seal and said to the attendants of the first emperor, "Please return this jade seal to Zulong (called by Qin Shihuang)." Then he disappeared. Pass the imperial edict and return it to Qin.
In the war at the end of Qin Dynasty, Liu Bang led the troops into Xianyang first. Tian Zi Seal was given to Liu Bang by a gentleman who died in Qin Dynasty. Liu Bangjian Han acceded to the throne, and she passed the national seal, which is called "Han passed the national seal" in history. Since then, the jade seal has been treasured in Changle Palace, becoming a symbol of imperial power. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped power and Emperor Liu Yingcai was two years old. The imperial seal is in the charge of Empress Xiao Yuan. Wang Mang ordered Hou Wangshun of Anyang to force the queen mother to hand over the imperial seal, and was angered by the queen mother. In a rage, the Queen Mother threw the imperial seal on the ground, and a corner of the imperial seal was dropped, and then it was filled with gold, leaving a flaw mark.
After Wang Mang's defeat, the jade seal changed hands several times, and finally fell into the hands of Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty, and spread to the Eastern Han Emperor. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, ten servants made an insurrection, and the young emperor fled in a hurry, before he could take the imperial seal. When he returned to the palace, he found that the imperial seal was missing. People in Sun Jian dug up the body of a maid-in-waiting in Gong Zhenjing, south of Luoyang, and found the "Jade Seal" in the kit around her neck. 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. At this stage, several "private seals" appeared, including self-seal in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Murong Yongyin in Xiyan and Yao Qinyin. 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.
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the "Jade Seal" was still the treasure of the rulers. Disappeared in the Five Dynasties
