摘　　要：殷墟近年来考古发掘出土了3枚青铜印章,根据对印章的图案与文字进行的分析可证明殷墟传世印章的可信度,同时说明中国印章的起源至少可早到殷墟时期。早期印章的起源与陶印模有一定的关联,殷墟时期青铜印章的主要功能与青铜器铭文类似,用以标识主人的私名或氏族。This paper introduced the three bronze seals unearthed archaeologically at Yinxu Site in recent years and analyzed and studied the designs and scripts of them. Referring to the scientifically discovered cases, this paper discussed the authenticity of the handed-down bronze seals which was said to be unearthed in Yinxu Site and pointed out that the origin of seals in China can be at least as early as in the Yinxu Period, which might be related to the pottery models for impressing designs on molds. Bronze seals appeared in Yinxu Period indeed, but the seals at that time were only used to show the owners＇ personal names or the names of their clans, just like the inscriptions of the bronzes.
