Episode 249 The Jade Seal of the Country
Jiulong felt very fresh, in the past, the appreciation of the stone was more from the perspective of appreciation, how to reflect the realm of selflessness, and how to cut into the psychological level, he would like to ask Mr. Gong to talk about the appreciation of the Lingbi stone on our psychological impact or beneficial effect?
Gong Zhuo said: "Appreciating the psychological effects of Lingbi Stone:
"First, appreciating the Lingbi Stone can make an impetuous heart slowly calm down.
"Quiet is to worry, to think is to get, to get things, so as to achieve self-cultivation, family, governance, and peace in the world.
"Because of the quiet nature of the stone, there is a saying that 'flowers can interpret words and many things, and stones cannot speak the most lovely'.
"If the Lingbi stone is compared to traditional Chinese medicine, it does have the same effect as traditional Chinese medicine, although it is not as fast as Western medicine, but Lingbi stone has absolutely no side effects.
"Second, when viewing a delicate Lingbi stone, the human brain will volatilize a material element called 'amine polyphenols', which is the natural happiness code within the human body, which is transmitted to the whole body through the brain nerves, so that the body and mind feel no discomfort, so as to relieve psychological pressure, produce a relaxed and happy mood, especially conducive to psychological health.
Third, appreciating the Lingbi stone can make people's bodies keep moving, friends keep moving, and funds keep flowing, so that you can forget your age, forget your illness, forget your grievances, and be relaxed and calm. ”
Jiulong was surprised by Gong's profound knowledge of Lingbi Stone, he was really knowledgeable this time, and he expressed his gratitude to Teacher Gong for his teaching, and listened to their talk while eating silently.
At this time, Huang Guofu, president of the Anhui Lingbi Stone Association, stood up: "Everyone, please be quiet, today President Xu is here, I release a major discovery, which is the result of a lot of research by our provincial association, which will play a huge role in promoting the future of Lingbi Stone." ”
"Don't sell it, if you have something to say, let it go. ”
President Xu responded with a smile.
"After long-term research and multi-party demonstration, our provincial Lingbi Stone Association confirmed that Qin Shi Huang's jade seal 'He's Bi' is the 'colorful stone' of Lingbi Stone in Suzhou, Anhui Province.
"Is this true? Isn't 'He's Bi' from Jingshan, Hubei? Others have already studied it. ”
Someone at the table immediately expressed doubts, although everyone hoped that the 'multicolored stone' was 'He's bi', but it had to be convincing.
"The jade seal of the country" is the seal of the Chinese emperors, which was engraved by the order of Qin Shi Huang. Seen as a symbol of dynastic legitimacy.
Its radius is about 20 centimeters, the color is colorful and glorious, the texture is hard, the lubrication is delicate, the five dragons are handed over to New York, and the front is engraved with the eight seal characters of Li Si's book "Ordered by the Heaven and Longevity Yongchang", as a token of "imperial power and divine grant, orthodoxy and legitimacy".
Subsequently, the emperors of all dynasties took this seal as a symbol, and they were regarded as rare and precious as a heavy weapon of the country.
If you get it, it symbolizes that it is "ordered by the sky", and if you lose it, it shows that its "qi has been exhausted".
Those who ascend to the throne without this seal are ridiculed as "white emperors", which appear to be lacking in confidence and are despised by the world.
In order to keep the jade as their own, the vassal states tried their best to compete with each other, and staged a wonderful historical drama during the Warring States Period, and finally this precious jade did not know where it fell, becoming a major mystery in history.
There is a twist and turn in the origin of this precious jade: in the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a Chu man named Bian He, who by chance found an ordinary jade at the foot of a mountain, and in order to show his loyalty to the monarch, he dedicated this jade to King Chu Li. Jade is a natural jade material that looks no different from ordinary stone if it is not sawn.
King Chu Li found the Xiangyu family for identification, and the jade worker thought that this was an ordinary stone with no value.
King Li was very angry, believing that Bian He intended to deceive him, so he ordered Bian He's left foot to be cut off and Bian He expelled from the state of Chu.
After the death of King Chu Li, King Wu of Chu succeeded to the throne, Bian He rushed back to Chu State, and dedicated this piece of jade to King Wu of Chu, the jade work was still identified as a stone, and King Wu cut off Bian He's right foot for the crime of bullying the king.
After another few decades, King Wen, the son of King Wu, succeeded to the throne.
At this time, Bian He wanted to dedicate Yupu to King Chu Wen, but he was already in his last years, and his feet were cut off, and his actions were very inconvenient, seeing that his wish could not be realized, Bian He came to Chu Mountain with Yupu in his arms and cried for three days and three nights, the tears were exhausted, and his eyes were dripping blood.
This matter reached King Wen of Chu, and King Wen sent someone to ask Bian He: "There are many people in the world who have been cut off their feet, why are you crying so sadly?"
Bian He replied: "I didn't cry because my feet were cut off, but because I was mistaken for a stone even though I was a treasure jade, and a loyal person was regarded as a minister who deceived the king, I cried for the king, he was upside down, black and white!"
After hearing this, King Wen ordered someone to bring Bian He to the palace, and asked the jade worker to cut open the jade in front of him, and sure enough, he got a piece of flawless jade.
In order to reward Bian He's loyalty to the king, King Wen named this jade "He's Bi" and treasured it as a national treasure.
The news of the discovery of "He's Bi" soon spread to the vassal states, and the kings of the vassal states wanted to see this precious jade with their own eyes.
In 333 B.C., the state of Chu swallowed up the Yue kingdom, and the king of Chu Wei gave the Heshi Bi to Zhaoyang because of the merit of the Xiangguo Zhaoyang to destroy the Yue.
But at this moment, He's bi was stolen, and the disappearance of the national treasure shocked the court and beyond, and people searched for this priceless treasure jade, but to no avail.
People looked at Zhang Yi with suspicion, because Zhang Yi was lobbying in the state of Chu at the time and had been drinking with Zhaoyang, and people thought that he had the conditions and opportunity to steal He's bi.
The people of Chu tortured Zhang Yi severely, but Zhang Yi refused to admit it, and the Chu people had no choice but to release Zhang Yi.
After Zhang Yi was humiliated, he moved to the Qin State, and later became the prime minister of the Qin State, making great contributions to the future strength of the Qin State.
The state of Chu lost a talent for a national treasure, which they did not expect.
After disappearing for decades, He's Bi suddenly appeared in Zhao State one day, and how He's Bi ended up in Zhao has become a mystery in history.
When Zhao Huiwen was king, a eunuch named Miao Xian bought this piece of jade from somewhere, and after being identified by the jade worker, he knew that it was He's Bi, which had been missing for many years.
When King Zhao learned about it, he took away this precious jade.
The news that Zhao had obtained He's Bi soon reached the ears of King Qin Zhao, who was so eager to see this rare treasure that he sent a letter to King Zhao, hoping to exchange 15 cities for He's Bi.
King Zhao knew that the Qin State wanted to take it by force, but the Qin State was powerful, and he was afraid that offending the Qin State would cause the disaster of destroying the country, so he had to send Lin Xiangru Fengbi to the Qin State.
