I have just spent RMB 4 yuan to seek help online, and the person who helped me told me that the characters on the seal are Tang's Shao Yi, the name of a famous courtier in the late Qing Dynasty, and there is no way for me to know the authenticity of the seal, although the trader recommended a seal authentication service to me.

Regarding the English mechanical translation of his personal introduction, I am not sure of the accuracy of the translation. What is interesting to me is that my vague memory tells me that I have seen this name before in a history class, but the writing on the seal is in seal script, is it an ancient form of writing, but it is also used by the Chinese on certain occasions to this day.

This is an encyclopaedic introduction to him personally,

He was the president of Beiyang University (now Tianjin University) and Shandong University. [1-2]
Tang Shao Yi went to Shanghai to study since childhood. Tongzhi thirteen years (1874), became the third batch of young children to stay in the United States, to study in the United States, and later entered Columbia University. In 1881, Tang Shao-yi returned to China. He later served as Consul in Seoul, Korea, Consul General in Korea, Governor of the National Railway Corporation, Minister of Revenue, Left Minister of the Ministry of Posts and Communications, and Minister Plenipotentiary to negotiate with Britain on the sovereignty of Tibet. [3] At the end of the Qing Dynasty, he was the representative of the North and the South to negotiate peace, and became the first Premier of the Cabinet in the Republic of China [2]. In the twentieth year of the Republic of China (1931), he became the governor of Zhongshan County. After the fall of Shanghai, because of the prevalence of Japanese enemy use organisation of pseudo-government, Chiang Kai-shek ordered Daiasa sent Zhao Lijun in the Republic of China twenty-seventh year (1938) on September 30, will be assassinated in his home at the age of 76 years.
Tang Shaoyi made important contributions to China's sovereignty, diplomatic rights and interests and the promotion of democracy and republicanism. In the early part of his life, he was mostly engaged in major diplomatic activities, which had a great impact on late Qing diplomacy. In his later years, he shifted to the republican camp, leading to the birth of the Republic of China, and served as Premier, defending the republican system. After leaving office, he actively opposed the imperial system, supported Sun Yat-sen's struggle to protect the French, advocated party politics, collegiality, and autonomy for the United Provinces, and sought peaceful unification of China. [3] In his later years, he was assassinated for his ambiguous political attitude and was questioned by public opinion for defecting to Japan.
