After constant regime change, the imperial seal was taken away by various governors. The last owner of the imperial seal was Li Congke, the Emperor of the Five Dynasties and the Late Tang Dynasty. Before Shi Jingtang captured Luoyang in the late Jin Dynasty in 936 AD, he and his concubines set themselves on fire in the palace, and everything in the imperial court was thrown into the fire. Since then, the "Guo Chuanyu Xi" has mysteriously disappeared, and there are different opinions about its whereabouts.

The predecessor of the national law is the famous Hebi. In 689 BC, a Chu man named Bian He got a precious jade from Jingshan Mountain. Knowing that it was priceless, he gave it to Li, the king of Chu. I don't want Li, the king of Chu, to think it's just an ordinary stone. Without looking, I cut off his left foot for the crime of deceiving the monarch.
After King Wu ascended the throne, Bian He came to offer jade again. King Wu was furious. Without saying anything, he bullied you with an old broken stone and cut off his right foot. King Wen came again after he ascended the throne. King Wen felt strange. He lamented that this person is so persistent that he may be a treasure. So he ordered to cut it open. Just cut a corner, he found it is a rare treasure.
King Wen named it "He", which became a long story. And choi, and has become a "rare treasure in the world", has been collected in the palace of Chu.
Three hundred years later, Choi and Choi inexplicably flowed into the State of Zhao and fell into the hands of Huiwen, causing the covet of the king of Qin and proposing to exchange fifteen cities. But when Lin Xiangru sent Bi to see the king of Qin, the king of Qin broke his word. So there was the story of "returning to Zhao in perfect condition"!
Later, Qin Shihuang swept the world, unified Liuhe, and Choi naturally returned to Qin Gong. After Qin Shihuang ascended the throne, in order to show his imperial power and unprecedented achievements, he made a decree! It is engraved with eight big characters: "I am a destiny, so I can live forever", which means that it is also a destiny for me to be an emperor! And the jade seal, as a symbol of the emperor, will be passed down from generation to generation!
After the death of Qin Shihuang, the Daze Township Uprising broke out in the Qin Dynasty. Liu Bang entered the customs first, Zi Ying surrendered, and the Qin Dynasty perished. Since then, state decrees have been passed down to the Han Dynasty. Since then, the official seal of this side has become a symbol of God's command. The winner was ecstatic and thought that "destiny is in my bow", and he proudly declared himself an authentic emperor.
If you claim to be the emperor and don't get it, you will feel ashamed, weak and even considered a liar, at best, just a "whiteboard son of heaven". There is another side to the "national law", which is regarded as sacred in the hands of entrepreneurs, but it has become ominous in the last generation of future generations without exception.
It spread from one place to another, changed hands several times, and even became a symbol of dynasty change in feudal society. According to the Han Yuan Biography, when Wang Mang killed Han, he asked the Empress Dowager Han for it. Han angrily threw the decree on the ground, and a corner of the national treasure was missing. Later, it was repaired with gold, but it left a defect.
Later, in the well-known story of the Three Kingdoms, Changsha satrap Sun Jian conquered Dong Zhuoshi. The official seal was found in the south of Luoyang. Finally, it fell into the hands of Cao Cao, and then Cao Shi and Wei fell into the hands of Jin. Since then, the national seal has changed hands.
Until the Tang Dynasty, after Li Yuan got the national seal, he changed his name to Bao. The official seal finally disappeared into history in the Five Dynasties. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the world was in chaos. In 907, Zhu Quanzhong abolished Tang Aidi, seized the national seal and built the back beam.
In 923, Li destroyed the back beam, built the later Tang Dynasty, and passed the national seal to the later Tang Dynasty. The last emperor to master the imperial seal was Li Congke. In 936 AD, when Li Congke and his empresses boarded the Xuanwu Building and set themselves on fire, the mysterious decree disappeared in the long river of history!
Since then, no matter in Song Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty or Ming Dynasty, they have never given up their search for the imperial seal. As a symbol of the supremacy of imperial power, the imperial seal has also become the goal pursued by countless people, and it can be called the first national treasure of China.
With the imperial seal, it means orthodoxy and supreme imperial power, otherwise you can't claim to be orthodox in a big way. In the north of Song Zhezong, a farmer named Duan Yi discovered the national seal while plowing the land and sent it to the imperial court.
According to the records of the previous dynasty, the 13th University found that it was the official seal made by the first emperor. People of insight in the government and the public think that the law is forged. In the first year of Song Jingkang (A.D. 1 126), the Jin army broke the capital of song dynasty, Qin Hui was taken captive, and the "national seal" was taken captive by the State of Jin, and then disappeared.
In the 31st year of Yuan Dynasty (AD 1294), the ancestor Kublai Khan collapsed. "Guo Chuan Yu Xi" suddenly appeared in Dadu, peddled in the market, and was ordered to buy by Prime Minister Bo Yan. Later, Bo Yan polished all the seals collected by Meng Yuan from various countries and distributed them to princes and ministers to carve private seals. I'm afraid of being involved when I pass on national laws.
Huang Taiji destroyed Li Dan Khan in Mongolia, and his descendants gave the Yuan Dynasty the so-called "official seal" engraved with "Emperor Seal". By the early years of the Qing Dynasty, there were thirty-nine imperial seals in the Forbidden City, one of which was the "national seal" of Huang Taiji.
At the time of Qianlong, Qin concluded that it was a fake. However, it is right to take it seriously. Later, in the late Qing Dynasty, this imperial seal was stored in the Imperial Palace in Shenyang and disappeared. After thousands of years, the imperial seal has gone through numerous storms, and with the demise of the feudal dynasty, the imperial seal has also disappeared.
