Cultural relic jade hairpin
The jadeite hairpin was a hairpin that incorporated the jadeite craftsmanship. The jadeite craftsmanship originated from the Han Dynasty. It used metal materials as the base and carefully inlaid the feathers of kingfishers on the base. However, this process was very cruel when it came to obtaining kingfisher feathers, because the number of feathers available on the kingfisher was limited. In order to preserve the original blue color of the feathers, the feathers would be plucked when the kingfisher was alive, which made it difficult for the kingfisher to survive after losing its feathers. From the perspective of cultural relics, many jade hairpins became museum collections, such as the silver jade butterfly ear-digging hairpin collected by the Beijing Folk Museum. The National Palace Museum in Taibei had a plum blossom hairpin from the first year of Tongzhi of the Qing Dynasty. It was 12.9 centimeters long, 2.2 centimeters wide, and weighed about 50 grams. Six plum blossoms were arranged in a row. The outer petals were slightly peach-shaped, and the tips were slightly curved. Blue jade feathers were applied on it. The petals were decorated with purple jade feathers and slender petals. The two-color jade feathers matched naturally. After more than 200 years, the color was as new as ever. A pearl was inlaid in the center of the silver-plated stamen. There were also cultural relics such as Empress Xiaojing's Phoenix Crown (which required a large number of kingfisher feathers to repair) that also showed the application of the jade craftsmanship in ancient hair ornaments and crowns. In modern times, due to the cruelty of the kingfisher craft and the fact that the kingfisher was a protected animal, there were some imitation kingfisher products or other materials used to replace the kingfisher feathers to make hairpins. For example, corn husks were used to make imitation kingfisher headwear, and other materials were used to make antique kingfisher hairpin accessories. Read more exciting novels for free

China jade seal cultural relic
In China, the jade seal had a rich history. From the origin, the Zhou Dynasty began to use seals to express credit. In the Qin Dynasty, there was a distinction between seals and seals. The emperor used seals and the subjects used seals. After Qin Shihuang unified China, he ordered people to carve the Heshi jade into a jade seal. On it was engraved the words "Ordered by Heaven, Longevity Forever". This became the imperial seal of the country and was the proof of the orthodox emperors of China. It symbolized the supremacy of imperial power and also represented the traditional Chinese history and culture. It symbolized "Ordered by Heaven" and "Destiny has come to an end". However, it had been missing, broken, and stolen many times in the long river of history. In addition to the Imperial Jade Seal, there were other important jade seals. For example, the Han Dynasty emperor had six seals with different uses. There was also the Han Imperial Seal of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.(Seal: "Treasure of the Son of Heaven"), Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty (Seal: "Treasure of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty"), Emperor Wu Zetian's Imperial Phoenix Seal (Seal: "Treasure of the Absolution of Life"), Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty (Seal: "Treasure of the Song Dynasty"), Emperor Taizu of the Yuan Dynasty (Seal: "Treasure of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty"), etc. However, most of these jade seals have been lost.

There was also the art collection of "The National Seals of the Ten Great Emperors of China", which was made up of nine imperial seals (although it was named "ten", it was actually nine national seals).

It was created in the original quality, shape, size, original text, and proportion. These jade seals not only had extremely high cultural value, but they also carried heavy historical significance. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

National treasure, cultural relic, jade seal
The jade seal referred to the emperor's jade seal. It was the symbol of supreme power and began with Qin Shihuang. In ancient times, seals and imperial seals were generally called gold or jade. Imperial seals first appeared in the Zhou Dynasty, and only in the Qin Dynasty did they have the distinction of imperial seals and imperial seals. The seal used by the emperor was called imperial seal, and the seal used by the subjects could only be called seal. The Imperial Jade Seal was originally made by Prime Minister Li Si after Qin Shihuang unified the six countries and proclaimed himself emperor. At first, it did not have a special name. It was a symbol of imperial power like the tiger amulet and the scepter. Later, it was given the political meaning of "orthodox symbol". The new monarch must obtain the Imperial Jade Seal, or else the title of emperor would not be justified. There were many theories about the Heirloom Seal: - [Material: There are two versions of Heshi jade and Lantian jade, but the version of Lantian jade is more credible.] Because the Heshi jade was Chu jade, and the Lantian jade was Qin jade, it was more reasonable for Qin Shihuang to first use Qin jade when carving the jade seal. Moreover, from the size, it was possible but unlikely to use the Heshi jade to carve a four-inch jade seal. In addition, the Heshi jade was already a jade, so there was no need to destroy it. - ** size and appearance **: The imperial seal of the Qin and Han Dynasties was not big. The emperor's seal was estimated to be 3 - 4 cm high and 5 cm wide. According to the historical records, the Imperial Jade Seal was four inches in circumference, which was slightly more than 10 centimeters after conversion. Its height might only be two or three centimeters. On the back, there were five dragons coiling around it. One of the dragons was missing a corner. On the front, there were eight seal characters. However, there were different versions of these eight characters, such as "Ordered by Heaven, Longevity Yongchang" and "Ordered by Heaven." Longevity and health "," Emperor Longevity "and so on. - [Spread and Lost: After the fall of the Western Jin Dynasty, the jade seal was lost, and the Emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was ridiculed.] After that, in the change of dynasties, the imperial jade seal was often passed around, such as Sun Jian's. In 936 AD, Shi Jingtang destroyed the Later Tang Dynasty. Li Congke held the imperial seal and set himself on fire. From then on, the imperial seal disappeared. The Song Dynasty searched for it many times without success. What appeared later might be fakes. After the Song Dynasty, even fakes no longer appeared and were completely extinct. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
