What should be engraved on the edge of the seal? What's the difference between personal use and giving away?

Cursive stamp is ok, but it is more common to carve it with a knife without typing, which is quite simple and natural. Your own seal can be engraved with words of self-encouragement, such as: Heaven rewards diligence, accepts all rivers and strives for self-improvement. These can also be used to encourage others. Gifts for others can also be engraved with words of blessing, such as longevity, courtesy, benevolence, wisdom, faithfulness, softness, courtesy, frugality, loyalty and filial piety. Genre, words, couplets and poems are all acceptable. Most of the edges are tied to the left of the seal. Here, author, date, place, purpose, etc. Should be indicated, and the length of the margin is determined by the size of the space. You can use the seal for yourself. Most gifts for others should be modest and so on.

There are still many things I don't understand when I am a beginner in seal cutting. I hope these can help you!
