How many imperial seals have been passed down in history? What's engraved on it?

The so-called "imperial edict" is a special term, which refers to the imperial edict carved by Ying Zheng when he proclaimed himself emperor. So, there is only one. Its Fiona Fang is four inches, and it has five dragons in New Zealand. On the front, there are eight Chinese characters inscribed by Li Si, namely "Long live by heaven" and "Dragon playing with pearls", as a token of "imperial power granted by heaven, orthodoxy and legality".

Guo Chuanyu: referred to as "Guo Chuan" for short, Li Si, the prime minister of Qin Dynasty, was ordered by the first emperor, and what he carved was the evidence of the orthodox emperor of China.

Extended data:

After the Qin dynasty, emperors of all dynasties took this seal as a symbol and regarded it as a treasure and a heavy weapon of the country. If you get it, it means that you are "destined to return". If you lose it, it means that your luck has run out. Anyone who ascended the throne without this seal was ridiculed as "Bai Di" and despised by the world as unconfident.

"Ordered by Tian Yongchang" means: (since) (I) resigned to my fate and became (that) emperor; We should let the Lebanese people live long and make this country prosperous forever.

Legend has it that in 2 19 BC, when Qin Shihuang was touring Dongting Lake in the south, the wind and waves suddenly broke out and his ship was about to be destroyed. The first emperor threw the jade seal into the lake and sacrificed the waves to the gods so that he could cross the lake safely. Eight years later, when he went to Pingshu Road in Huayin, someone stood on the road with a jade seal and said to the attendants of the first emperor, "Please return this jade seal to Zulong (called by Qin Shihuang)." Then he disappeared. Pass the imperial edict and return it to Qin.

People who wanted to seek the position of emperor in the past dynasties fought for power and profit, which led to the frequent change of the national seal. It has been in Chixian County, China for more than two thousand years, flickering and finally disappearing, which makes people sigh that there is no trace so far.
