Although it is no longer a real object, its long history still attracts a lot of attention. According to historical records, it is a piece of jade made of Lantian jade, which is as green as blue and has a soft luster. Although Heshibi was originally published in the state of Chu in 689 BC, the true appearance and whereabouts of the follow-up have never been solved.
According to historical records, the jade was circulated in Chu, Zhao, Qin and other places, and its whereabouts are unknown to this day. The only two surviving theories include: first, it may have been used as a burial object in the tomb of Qin Shi Huang; Second, it may have been lost or taken away by Xiang Yu in the war at the end of the Qin Dynasty. The true face of He's Bi and its evolution in later generations is undoubtedly a key topic and controversy in the research of historians.
In fact, the long-standing historical and cultural value of Heshi Bi cannot be overlooked. It began in the Chu State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and was one of the witnesses of the civilization and culture of the Chinese nation during the Warring States Period.
At the same time, the Chu people's skills in smelting and grinding jade were also outstanding at that time, and these unique skills are fully reflected in the beauty of He's bi's finished products. The exquisite and brilliant colors of He's Bi not only show the exquisite skills of the craftsmen of Chudi, but also reflect the social picture and aesthetic orientation of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
In addition, He's Bi has been passed down by many monarchs, and each inheritance breeds many legendary stories and profound cultural precipitation. For example, Ying Zheng Debi changed his name to "Heirloom Jade Seal", which became a symbol of the Chinese Empire and practiced the idea of divine authority of the monarch. It can be seen that the position of Heshi Bi on the stage of Chinese history is very important.
Thirdly, Heshibi contains a rich cultural heritage. Literati of all dynasties have written a large number of poems, paintings and other works of art under the title of it, such as "He's Bifu" in "Historical Records", and Baoyu in "Dream of Red Mansions". These literary works undoubtedly coat this treasure with a more profound cultural coat, making it a great treasure of Chinese culture.
As we all know, the emergence and inheritance of He's bi has injected new vitality and creativity into the development of ancient jade in China. Through the observation of its manufacturing process, ancient craftsmen were able to understand the technique of fine jade and its essence; At the same time, through the understanding of the design concept of He's Bi, ancient artists understood how to use jade as a medium to convey rich cultural connotations and aesthetic charms.
With the extensive inheritance of Heshi Bi, the meaning it symbolizes has become more and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, leading to multiple values such as politics, religion and culture. This unique cultural phenomenon greatly promoted the prosperity of ancient Chinese jade and art, and gradually established a jade cultural system with Chinese characteristics. In this context, it is obvious that ancient jade is not simply a decorative accessory, it has become an important symbolic role that carries historical culture and national spirit.
All in all, He's Bi is not only a precious cultural relic, but also has attracted worldwide attention for its historical, cultural and scientific values, as well as its profound influence on the development of ancient Chinese jade and art. No matter how the years pass, Heshibi has always been one of the precious treasures of human history and culture, providing endless inspiration for us to explore ancient civilizations and pursue artistic achievements.
