吉語印 -- 箴言璽 (戰國)
“Jiyu” Seals - Motto Seals (Warring States: 475-221 BCE)

印文反映了儒家文化之影響。「箴言」璽又可細分為三類。第一類為「修身箴言」,是次展品中如:「敬」、「慎」、「明上」、「敬事」、「日敬勿治」、「相思」、「忠仁思士」、「云(雲)子思士」、「百嘗」、「思言」、「正行」、「中壹」等。
第二類為「明志箴言」,如:「高志」、「敬其上」、「中身」、「中言敬士」、「王之上士」、「中信」、「信」、「信之」、「正下」、「有志」、「得志」、「可以正下」等。第三類為「哲理箴言」,如:「和眾」、「宜民和眾」、「相思得志」、「思言敬事」、「日敬毋治」等。

The seal words reflect the influence of Confucianism. Motto seals can be divided into three categories. The first category is related to self-cultivation, such as 思言 (Longing for advice), 正行 (Act properly), and 敬事 (Work with cautiousness). The second category is related to “showing of will”, which bear phrases such as 高志 (Cherish high aspirations) and 有志 (Be ambitious). The third category is related to truthfulness such as 宜民和眾 (Beneficial and harmonious for the people), and 思言敬事 (Long for good advice and work with cautiousness).
