Bian He presented this treasure to Li, the king of Chu. However, after the identification of jade workers, Pu was judged as a stone. Li Guowang thought that Bian He had deceived the king and ordered Bian He to break his left foot and expel him from the capital.
When King Wu ascended the throne, Bian He presented the original jade, but the jade worker still thought it was a stone. Poor Bian He had his right foot cut off because of bullying the king.
After King Chu acceded to the throne, Bian He wept bitterly at the foot of Chushan for three days and nights, and his eyes overflowed with blood. King Wen was very surprised and sent someone to ask him, "Are there many people cut off?" Why are you the only one so sad? " Bian He sighed, "I'm not sad because it was cut off, but because the precious stones were treated as stones, and the loyal ministers were treated as the ministers who bullied the monarch. It's sad that right and wrong are reversed! " This time, King Wen directly ordered someone to cut it, and as a result, he got a flawless jade.
In order to reward Bian He's loyalty, Meiyu was named "He Shen Jade", which is the legendary He Shen Jade in later generations.
