After the death of Qin Shi Huang and the fall of the Qin Dynasty, several of his most treasured treasures mysteriously disappeared. Over the centuries, authorities and experts have tried to find these treasures, but to no avail. One of these treasures is the Imperial Seal. |

According to records and historical documents, the Imperial Seal of Qin Shi Huang was made from the famous Heshi jade. The seal was engraved with eight Seal characters "Thu mang u thien, ky tho vinh xuong" (receive the mandate of heaven, exist forever). The Imperial Seal symbolizes the supreme power of the emperor and is only passed down between generations of kings. If someone claims to be emperor without the Imperial Seal, it will be difficult for the people to submit to him. |

The treasure that Qin Shi Huang once valued but has long been lost is the Nine Tripod Cauldrons. According to legend, after Xia Yu divided the "world" into nine states (jiuzhou), he had people take bronze from each state and cast it into nine cauldrons (jiu ding), engraved with the quintessence of each state's landscape. Accordingly, each Nine Tripod Cauldron symbolizes a state. |

There is a popular saying among the people that "to possess the Nine Tripods is to possess the world". Therefore, many heroes, vassals... tried every way to possess the Nine Tripods. Through time and the ups and downs of history, the Nine Tripods fell into the hands of the Qin Dynasty. |

When King Zhaoxiang of Qin (Qin Shihuang's grandfather) destroyed the Zhou Dynasty during the Warring States Period, the Nine Tripod Cauldrons were brought to the Qin Dynasty's capital Xianyang. However, one of the cauldrons fell into the Sishui River. Despite extensive searches, the Qin Dynasty could not find it. Therefore, only eight bronze cauldrons were brought to Xianyang. After the Qin Dynasty fell, the whereabouts of the Nine Tripod Cauldrons became a mystery. The photos in this article are for illustrative purposes only. |
