Did Qin Shihuang get the Heshi Bi?

But later, He's Bi was still owned by the Qin State. As for when and how it was owned by the Qin State, there is no historical record. In the tenth year of the Qin Dynasty (237 BC), Li Si mentioned in the "Book of Remonstrance and Expulsion": "The jade your Majesty sends to Kunshan today contains the treasure of Sui and He." "The treasure of Sui and He" refers to The "Pearl of Suihou" and the "Bi of Heshi" were two famous treasures at that time. It is very likely that Zhao State had no choice but to give Heshi Bi to Qin State because of fear of Qin State's power.

From then on, records about He's Bi were common, and most of them believed in the records in "Han Feizi", "New Preface" and other books. For example, Fu Xian's "Yu Fu" of the Western Jin Dynasty said: "When it lurked in the Jingye, it was still untouched, and everyone regarded it as a stone. Bian Zi only saw it and knew it." There are more records about He's Bi in the poems of the Tang Dynasty. The great poet Li Bai's "Ancient Style" has a poem in thirty-six: "I brought a jade into the Chu country, and I doubted what I heard in the past. A good treasure will eventually be abandoned, and I will offer it to you three times in vain."
