About Seal
In China, it had a history more than 3,700 years of history, but still is an art belonging to the minority of the population. In the ancient times, it was a symbol of personal identity, and the emperors and kings’ symbol of power or the god-given right to administrate the state or the country. So usage of the seal was quite popular and universal to a most degree, similar to today’s ID Card.
In Ancient China, Seal also called the "Xi". The first record of a seal in China is from 544 BC. Actual bronze seals survive from the 5th century BC, and the practice of sealing must be some centuries older. The emblematic characters cast on Shang dynasty (1600–1046 BC) bronze vessels imply the use of something like a seal for impressing on the mold. In the Tang dynasty (AD 618–907), it is said that Empress Consort Wu (???) disliked the fact that xi (?) was close in sound to death (si, ?) or rest (xi, ?), so she changed the name of seals to treasure (bao, ?). In subsequent centuries, both names were used. The imperial seal was traditionally large and square, often made of jade.
