Private seal is the abbreviation of personal seal. The use of private seals has a long history in China. From ancient times to the present, from emperors to the people, there are no statistics on the number of private seals. Some are used for fun appreciation, some are used for giving away friends (including foreign friends), and more importantly, the private seal has the characteristics of personal identity. The emperor gave the private seal to the minister, which can be regarded as the emperor's personal visit. A person's personal seal can be used as a personal identification.
The state has no restrictions on private seal engraving. Where to make a private seal and what style to make are all personal decisions. However, for those who have special responsibilities and need to use the private seal in business, the size and filing of the private seal need to meet the requirements of the relevant competent authorities. For example, the seal of the legal representative cannot be too large, and it needs to be filed in banks and other departments.
