It has a poem that talks about how to live your life. 

Measures 14.7 CM diameter by 2.9 CM tall. 

Here is a rough translation: Be careful not to speak ill of others, and never speak ill of yourself.
Those who resolve grievances with righteousness and repay them with justice will be rewarded accordingly.
Those who are overly tolerant and forbearing may commit serious offenses; they should be reprimanded with reason, not with kindness.
Do not refrain from doing small things, nor do evil because it is insignificant. Those who commit evil should cover it up, and those who do good should conceal it.
In public service, one should be impartial and selfless, in managing a household, one should be impartial and selfless; in applying the law, one should not harm others for personal gain, nor be envious.
Do not be jealous of the virtuous and capable; do not retaliate against adversity out of anger; do not harm living beings unjustly.
Do not take what is rightfully yours; when you encounter something righteous, follow it; poetry and books are essential reading for propriety and righteousness.
One must not be ignorant of one's descendants, one must not neglect the division of servants, and one must not fail to cherish and uphold one's own rights.
Those who obey my command are guided by Heaven; if people can do this, Heaven will surely assist them. This is...
Everyday practices, like clothing to the body and food...
One cannot live without food for even a day, yet one must be careful.
