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. The seal of the Kangxi Kingdom is now in the Palace Museum. The seal of the Qianlong Kingdom was taken away by the Eight-Power Alliance and drifted overseas. In addition, in the eleventh year of Qianlong, twenty-five imperial jade seals of the Qing Dynasty were made, which are now stored in Jiaotai Hall of the Forbidden City. 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). After a comprehensive and systematic study and restoration of the national seals of the past dynasties in Chinese history, it was carved from nine kilograms of top-grade Hetian sapphire. It was created in the original quality, shape, size, original text, and proportion.

The jade dragon was 21 centimeters long and 26 centimeters high. It curled up in the shape of a "C". Its snout was slightly curved upward, and its mouth was tightly closed. It had symmetrical nostrils, prismatic eyes, and a mane. There was a symmetrical single hole on its back. Most of the dragon's body was light and without patterns. Only its forehead and the bottom of its jaw were engraved with fine grid network patterns. The grid protruded into regular small diamonds. Because of its shape, it was named C-shaped jade dragon. It was one of the representative artifacts of Hongshan culture and also the largest known jade dragon of Hongshan culture. He was known as the " First Dragon of China ". On August 19, 2013, he was included in the " Third batch of cultural relics exhibition prohibited from going abroad " by the State Administration of Cultural Relics.

From the top of its head to the back of its neck, there was a long mane that was draped behind it, and the end was tilted up. There was a rhombus-shaped net carved on its forehead and under its jaw.

Because its snout was extended forward, the front end was protruding and tilted, it was called the Jade Pig Dragon. It was originally collected by Mr. Fu Xinian's father, Mr. Fu Zhongmo.

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>

Price of Hetian Jade

With the improvement of living standards and the prosperity of culture and art, more and more people paid attention to the value and charm of Hetian jade. The demand for seed materials continued to increase, and the price would rise when the supply exceeded the demand. Some Hetian jade seeds favored by artists or collectors, such as rare varieties with exquisite patterns and historical value, were more expensive.

First, weigh the weight of the jade as A, then put the water cup on the electronic scale and return the value to zero. Tie the jade into the cup with a thin thread (do not touch the bottom of the cup), record the gram number B at this time, divide A by B to obtain the density. The density of Hetian jade is 2.9 - 3.1. 5. * * Optic Appraisal **: Use a magnifying glass or professional optical instrument to observe the internal structure of the jade. Hetian jade is translucent. Under strong light, it can be seen as cotton wool chaos and felt-like structure. If it is impervious to light or has no structure, it is not Hetian jade.

In addition, the Xinjiang Hetian jade seed material had natural "pores" under the magnifying glass. The thickness was uneven and the arrangement was irregular. The artificial pores were the same size. 6. * * Sound Judgement **: Natural Hetian jade has a high density. The sound is clear and loud when knocked. You can take two pieces and knock them together. If the sound is hoarse, the density is low. It may not be natural Hetian jade. 7. * * Check the texture **: Hetian jade is moist, delicate, and soft. Its surface has a greasy luster. The moisture and greasy luster of other jades are not as good as Hetian jade. 8. * * Check certificate **: Hetian jade is expensive, and basically comes with an identification certificate.

If the appraisal agency produced a fake certificate, they could sue. 9. * * Appearance observation **: The color should be pure, with few impurities, mostly white, green, etc.; the texture should be delicate and soft; the surface should be smooth and smooth, and when it is seen under the sun, the luster will not change and the luster will be good everywhere; the water drops on the surface will be dew-like, and it will take a long time to disperse.
