Did Qin Shihuang get the jade?

However, later, she was owned by the State of Qin. As for when and how she was owned by the State of Qin, there is no record in history. In the tenth year of the King of Qin (237 BC), Li Si mentioned in the book "Persuasion and Expulsion": "Now your Majesty has given Kunshan a jade as a treasure of harmony." "Sui Hebao" refers to "Sui Houzhu" and "Heshibi", which were two famous treasures at that time. It is very likely that Zhao was afraid of the power of Qin and gave it to Qin out of necessity.

Since then, there have been many records about He Shibi, and most of them believe in the records of Han Feizi, New Preface and other books. For example, Fu Xian's "Fish Fu" in the Western Jin Dynasty said: "You don't smell the wild, everyone regards it as a stone, and you know it yourself." There are many records about He Shibi in Tang poetry. The great poet Li Bai's "Ancient Style" has the words "Take jade into the State of Chu, and smell it when you see the past." A good treasure will be abandoned in the end, and it will be futile to offer a gentleman three times.
