“Conscientious and conscientious” comes from the Shangshu Gao Taomo: “There is no need to be educated to escape from the country, and conscientious and conscientious, and there are more than ten thousand people a day and two days. There is no need to be broad and common officials, and the workers of heaven take their place.” It means “You should be cautious and cautious when you are a gentleman, and your business is in danger. You should be cautious when you speak, and there are ten thousand small things between one day and two days, which must be known to yourself, and you should not be complacent.” Emperor Yongzheng said to himself, “You should be cautious and conscientious every day.” He also said, “Emperor Shengzuren is so healthy and new that he stands up for the world. I will always cherish the righteousness of Shaoting Zhijiang.” He was very proud of that. “Since ancient times, emperors have ruled the world with excellence as the first priority and neglect as the precept. I have not dared to honor the ancient sages with merit and virtue, but with this diligence, I am confident that I can not honor the ancient precepts, and I have not lost the deep gratitude entrusted by our emperor.” The seal was carved shortly after Emperor Yongzheng ascended the throne. According to the Work File of the Office of the Qing Palace Interior Office, the first year of Yongzheng’s reign (1723), “On the 23rd day of the first month, Prince Yi handed over the red and white Shoushan stone double dragon jue rectangle to introduce the first piece. The purpose was to grind off some of the two sides and engrave it with the word ‘conscientious’. Here is the official seal. On the 8th day of April, the red and white Shoushan stone double dragon jue rectangle was introduced, inscribed with the word’ conscientious’, and then matched with the brocade box. Prince Yi presented it.” The seal was made by Emperor Yongzheng himself
