    The jade seal is a special seal for the emperor, so what was the jade seal of the ancient emperor made of? It's stamped. The emperor's jade seal is more than one. Emperor Qianlong.

    After that, the emperor's jade seal had different functions and had a total of 25 faces. As for the raw materials of jade seals, the jade seals used by emperors in previous dynasties are basically Xinjiang Hetian jade.

    The concept of "jade seal" did not exist before the Qin Dynasty. Qin Shi Huang.

    After the unification of the Six Kingdoms, the concept of "jade seal" was proposed, stipulating that only jade seals used by the emperor could be called "jade seals". Therefore, the "jade seal" is also a symbol of imperial power. In order to express their admiration for Qin Shi Huang's achievements in unifying the country, successive emperors adopted the system of "jade seals".

    <> since Qin Shi Huang, seals are the most precious, so seals are often placed separately. The so-called imperial seal is a kind of seal that the emperor only used when writing the edict to pass on the throne, and it is basically not used in daily use. Once the seal is used, the choice of the next generation of emperors and the fate of the next generation of dynasties will be decided.

    Therefore, seals are the most precious and significant. After Qianlong succeeded to the throne, Qianlong stipulated that the imperial seal should be divided into 25 squares with different functions. The reason for choosing the 25th is to commemorate the Eastern Zhou.

    A grand gathering of stability for the reign of the 25th emperor, followed by prayers for the lasting prosperity of the Eastern Zhou dynasty. Many emperors liked to use Hetian jade from Xinjiang as the raw material for jade seals.

    Xinjiang Hetian jade has a delicate texture, uniform color, warm touch, and smooth and moist appearance. The jade seal made of Xinjiang Hetian jade is noble and elegant, which is very consistent with the precious status of the Son of Heaven. At the same time, Hetian jade is hard and suitable for long-term preservation, which is consistent with the inheritance of jade seals, so most of the jade seals of ancient emperors were made of Xinjiang Hetian jade.

    Legend has it that the jade seal made by Qin Shi Huang was cut and polished from He's jade and was produced in the Chu State.

    In addition to this jade seal, emperors before the Ming Dynasty also had private seals, most of which were made of jade.

    The legendary jade seal really disappeared in the Northern Song Dynasty for a time.

    The previous period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, but later reappeared in the Zhezong period, it is difficult to explain whether it is true or not. Later, the Yuan Dynasty fell, and even the jade seal, which was difficult to distinguish between true and fake, disappeared. Therefore, there was no national jade seal in the Ming and Qing dynasties, so the emperor's seal carving era began.

    The emperor who collected the most jade seals should be Qianlong, and the materials were mainly jade seals, but there were also Tian Huangshi.

    woodcuts, etc.

    The Emperor's Jade Seal.

    More than one, since Emperor Qianlong, the emperor's jade seal has a total of 25 square functions in different functions. As for the raw materials of jade seals, the jade seals used by emperors in previous dynasties are basically Xinjiang Hetian jade.

    The concept of "jade seal" did not exist before the Qin Dynasty, and after Qin unified the six kingdoms, Qin Shi Huang put forward the concept of "jade seal" and stipulated that only the jade seal used by the emperor could be called "jade seal". Therefore, the "jade seal" is also a symbol of imperial power. In order to express their admiration for Qin Shi Huang's feat of unifying the country, successive emperors followed the system of "jade seal".

    Since the beginning of Qin Shi Huang, according to different uses, there are seven kinds of jade seals: the emperor's seal, the emperor's seal, the emperor's letter seal, the seal of the Son of Heaven, the seal of the Son of Heaven, the letter seal of the Son of Heaven, and the jade seal of the country. Among them, the heirloom jade seal is the most precious, so the heirloom jade seal is often placed separately.

    The so-called jade seal is the jade seal used only when the emperor wrote the edict of succession, and it is basically not used on weekdays. Once the heirloom jade seal is used, then it will be decided who will be the next generation of emperors and the fate of the next generation of dynasties. Therefore, the jade seal of the country is the most precious and of great significance.

    After Qianlong succeeded to the throne, Qianlong stipulated that the emperor's jade seal was divided into different functions, and a total of 25 square meters were made. The reason why the number 25 was chosen is to commemorate the stability and grandeur of the 25th generation of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and then pray for the longevity of the dynasty.

    Emperors of all dynasties liked to use Xinjiang Hetian jade as the raw material for jade seals. Xinjiang Hetian jade land is delicate, the color is uniform, the touch is warm and moist, the appearance is smooth and moisturizing, the jade seal made by Xinjiang Hetian jade is noble and elegant, which is very in line with the precious status of the Son of Heaven. At the same time, Hetian jade has a tough texture and high hardness, which is suitable for long-term preservation, and conforms to the characteristics of jade seals passed down from generation to generation, so the jade seals of ancient emperors are mostly made of Xinjiang Hetian jade.

    Generally speaking, the emperor had seven jade seals, which are clearly recorded in the history books of the Han Dynasty. Among them, the six jade seals are the Emperor's Seal, the Emperor's Seal, the Emperor's Letter Seal, the Son of Heaven's Seal, the Son of Heaven's Seal and the Son of Heaven's Letter Seal, all of which are in charge of Fu Jielingcheng. In terms of use, these six jade seals are different.

    We just said that the emperor has a total of seven jade seals, so in addition to the above-mentioned six jade seals, there is another jade seal, what is it used for? This jade seal is really extraordinary, because it has a resounding name, that is, "heirloom jade seal".The jade seal, also known as the national seal, began in the period of Qin Shi Huang.

    Since Qin Shi Huang and below, successive kings have passed down from hand to hand.

    Jade seals are generally made of jade, and the materials used to make jade seals are more precious? Of course, the jade seal of the country is made of the priceless treasure "He's Bi". According to legend, He's bi later fell into the hands of Qin Shi Huang, and Qin Shi Huang used this bi to make a jade seal.

    The jade seal of the country is four inches in circumference, and the front of the five dragons of Shangniujiao is engraved with the eight seal characters of "Ordered by the Heavens, Longevity, Yongchang", and these eight characters are written by Li Si. With this heirloom jade seal, it is equivalent to having a token of "divine power of imperial power, orthodoxy and legitimacy". After the death of Qin Shi Huang, the emperors of all dynasties regarded the jade seal as an important weapon of the country, and worshiped it as if it were a treasure.

    In view of the great significance contained in the jade seal of the country, the emperors of all dynasties ascended the throne in order to obtain the jade seal of the country, which is the orthodoxy of China. 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".Whoever ascends to the throne without this seal is not considered a "true son of heaven".

    Those who pretender to the throne must obtain the jade seal of the country in order to realize their ambitions. Because of this, the jade seal of the country was snatched and fought for, causing this treasure to change hands repeatedly. In the Song Dynasty, the jade seal of the country finally disappeared, and it is still missing to this day, which is really suffocating.

    After the disappearance of the jade seal, the emperor had no choice but to make imitations of the jade seal. Generally speaking, when the dynasty changes, the new emperor must find out the jade seal of the previous generation, hinting that the previous dynasty has been exhausted, and the new dynasty is rising.
