The reporter saw that this seal is made of wood and is a cuboid. According to Tibetan friends' measurement, the printing surface is 33cm long, 16cm wide and 6cm thick, and weighs1.6kg. The printing pad has two square grooves, which are convenient for hand holding. The top of the stamp pad is engraved with the word "up", indicating the direction of printing. Look at the printed surface, two words are engraved, which seem to be "ten thousand" and "stone", but there is a "point" under the "one horizontal" of the stone. The Tibetan friend said that he searched the Kangxi dictionary and the calligraphy dictionary, but he couldn't find this strange word.

Subsequently, the reporter sent the seal picture to Chen Liang, deputy director of Baoji Bronze Museum. Dean Chen replied that the word "Wandan" should be read on the seal. Buckets and loads were the ancient units of measurement for grain, and one stone was equal to ten buckets. Because a stone of grain is just the weight that a person can carry, and a stone is also called a burden. Wandan should be a hundred thousand loads of grain. Therefore, this seal should be a granary seal, which is spread on granaries such as wheat and rice as a seal, indicating the meaning of sealing. As for the word "dot" on the stone, a "dot" is a grain, which is a knowing way of writing, so there is no need to delve into it. "Stone" is still used as the grain measurement unit in modern times, but the standard has changed.
