In history, it is said that Zhenyou Tongbao was left behind by the old genealogy of Xuanzong Zhenyouqian. Only after the publication of "Guquanhui" by Li Zhupeng in the Qing Dynasty did we know that there was a "Zhenyou Tongbao" that was broken into two pieces. After Li Zhupeng's death, the hidden spring came out, and was later acquired by Luo Zhenyu, who lived in Jinmen. Later, several products were selected by Fang Yaoyu, and Zhenyou Zhe Erqian was one of them. Fang Yaoyu obtained this precious spring and recited a poem: "It is not true that Drum Zhu has not heard of the Taihe period, and Zhu Zhenyou can prove it. But judging the era based on words, I don't believe that Aizong still has money." The appearance of Zhenyou money shows that after the Taihe period, Money was also minted, but in the Aizong era after Xuanzong, paper money was also commonly used, so there would be no spring. "Tianxing Tongbao", "Tianxing Baohui" and other springs handed down from ancient times are all made up or are the names of banknotes. As Han Peacock knows, there are three Zhenyou coins circulating in the world now, one Yuanbao, one Tongbao, and one Tongbao worth two. However, these coins of the Golden Kingdom have either been lost overseas, are rarely handed down, or are orphans, which are very rare. . Therefore, the value of these Zhenyou Tongbao is higher than the precious treasures in the hands of Han Feng and Han Xiaoxiao. Of course, there are many counterfeit Zhenyou coins on the market now, but the counterfeiters cannot find the original spring to recast them, the production is poor, the style of the money's writing is greatly reduced, and it is obvious at a glance that it is a fake spring. "Anyway, there aren't many valuable coins in the Northern Song Dynasty. Xiaoxiao is cheating. Most of her coins are from the Southern Song Dynasty. Of course, she doesn't win." At this time, Han Feng no longer cares about Han Huang. It is obvious that everyone in the family is biased. It was absolutely impossible for him to win against her, so he started competing with Han Xiaoxiao again. Han Xiaoxiao rolled his eyes at Han Feng and ignored him at all. Han Kongque said: "When a man is beaten, he must stand upright, otherwise he will lose his integrity." "You can only admit it after you lose. At that time, Xiaoxiao chose the Northern Song Dynasty coins. She said the Northern Song Dynasty coins were better, and mine was Xixia money. "Of course Xixia money is more precious than Northern Song money. Am I wrong?" Han Feng refused. "If you lose, you have to admit it. Those who cheat are villains, don't you think so, Huanghuang?" Han Xiaoxiao made an alliance and immediately found Han Huang. Han Huang looked at Han Feng and said, "I am a child, not a villain. If my brother doesn't admit his mistakes, he is a villain." "Little girl, can't you stop calling you a villain from now on?" Han Feng was hit by Han Huang. The critical hits were a bit unbearable, so I gave up. Han Peacock and others burst into laughter, and the child said it was still very cute. "Look at this fat baby like me. Mom said it was from the Northern Song Dynasty. It must be better than yours, it's golden." Han Huang didn't know why the adults were laughing, but he knew that Han Feng was not convinced, so she reluctantly took it out of her pocket. Inside, a gold coin was found. It was golden, and Han Peacock recognized it at a glance, but how could it be a Fat Baby gold coin? ?? Han Peacock got so many gold coins, could it be that what Han Huang got were gold coins engraved with emperor statues? "Look, isn't it cute?" Han Huang handed it to Han Xiaoxiao and grinned sillyly at Han Xiaoxiao. "I won't give it to brother, don't worry." Han Xiaoxiao still understood Han Huang very well, so she comforted the little girl. Hearing what Han Xiaoxiao said, Han Huang immediately let go and put the gold coin in Han Xiaoxiao's hand. "Hey, Dad, look, there is a Buddha statue on it. This is not an ordinary gold coin." Han Xiaoxiao said in surprise. "Haha, I know where gold coins were issued in the Northern Song Dynasty. The little girl is just a villain. She steps on villains and beats villains. She does nothing every day but eats, sleeps and hits villains." Han Feng teased Han Huang, looking at He had to let Han Huang open his bright red mouth and use his moves. "You brat, what are those gold coins? You're not as good as Han Huang! Our Han Huang will definitely be a talented girl when she grows up. She knows this is Song money at such a young age." Han Peacock immediately comforted Han Huang. "Song Qian? Is it better than brother's?" Han Huang was comforted by Han Kongque and immediately forgot to cry. Han Peacock said with a smile: "Of course, this is a gold coin. Do you think it is beautiful? There is such a cute monk on it!" When Han Peacock said this, Han Huang immediately raised his head proudly and looked at Han Feng . Han Feng's expression was not so good. He said angrily: "Is this really Song Qian? Isn't it said that there are too many Song Qian and they are all rubbish? These two people will not stop." Han Peacock and others Listen, immediately laughed again. It is true that there were a lot of coins issued during the Song Dynasty, and there were also many versions. Most of the coins in the Northern Song Dynasty did not have a very high market value, but there are still a very small number of ancient coins from the Northern Song Dynasty that have extremely high collection value. Few ancient coins from the Southern Song Dynasty have been handed down, not as many as those from the Northern Song Dynasty. Therefore, compared with the ancient coins from the Southern Song Dynasty, they generally have a high collection value. Due to the current market chaos, there are fewer and fewer truly good ancient coins. . The main reason is that there are many imitations, and the second reason is that the auction company is hyping up the market, and the market is chaotic. If everyone dares to collect it, the price will naturally be hit. The gold coin Han Huang took out was really a commemorative coin issued by the Northern Song Dynasty, and it was also issued by Zhao Kuangyi. It was the mother coin of the "Chunhua Yuanbao" Buddha statue money. The earliest discovery of "Chunhua Yuanbao" Buddha statue money from the Song Dynasty in my country was in the spring of 1988. At that time, a construction team was cleaning the base of the pagoda at the top of the central platform (i.e. Cuiyan Peak) of Wutai Mountain, a Buddhist holy place, and dug out more than a thousand gold coins. Money with two Buddha statues engraved on the back. Later, it was identified by archaeologists and coin experts that this was the "Chunhua Yuanbao" Buddha statue money cast during the Chunhua period of the Song Dynasty in my country. After the "Chunhua Yuanbao" Buddha statue money was unearthed, it was secretly divided and resold by migrant workers. Later, it was sold to the Hong Kong coin market. One coin can be exchanged for a luxury car. Its preciousness is staggering. Mr. Hua Guangpu, a contemporary collector, author and coin appraiser in my country, in his monograph "Catalogue of Ancient Chinese Coins in Color Photos", rated the money as first-class, with each coin worth 100,000 yuan. Of course, now, it is not One hundred thousand yuan can buy it. Because this kind of Buddha money has won the favor of Buddhist believers and coin lovers with its unique shape, exquisite carving, exquisite patterns and fine patterns, as well as its precious historical value. In addition, most of them are in the hands of the government, so private collectors who want to collect them cannot buy them if they have money. The money for the "Chunhua Yuanbao" Buddha statues at that time was unearthed under very unexpected circumstances, so a lot must have been lost. However, even if someone outside collects it, the value of the money for those "Chunhua Yuanbao" Buddha statues is not as good as that of Han Xiaoxiao. This one in your hand is precious. ?? Han Peacock judged this at a glance, so he thought it was the mother coin of the "Chunhua Yuanbao" Buddha statue money. The so-called mother money is the standard model money produced by the central and local finances when a large number of coins were minted in ancient times. Ordinary mother money is directly carved from a copper block or a tin or lead block to form a money mold. When casting money, the mother money is used as a mold and the mother money is cast. These mother money are issued to various places, and each place uses the mother money to make molds and mint coins. The carving of mother coins is very sophisticated. The carvings seen today are all made of golden copper, which is a high-quality copper material. The inscriptions on the copper-engraved mother coins are very exquisite, and the characters are deep and smooth. There are no signs of knife marks on the mother-carved coins. They are slightly larger and thicker than the coins in circulation of the same version. The mother-carved coin is made into a money mold and then taken away. The craftsman pours molten copper onto the money mold. After the coins cool down, the mold is opened, and the coins are taken out, processed and polished until they are smooth. "Chunhua Yuanbao" Buddha statue money found in Wutai Mountain has a diameter of 24mm, a thickness of 5mm, and a protruding relief of 2mm. Each piece weighs 12g and has a fineness of over 96%. And the "Chunhua Yuanbao" Buddha statue money in Han Xiaoxiao's hand is obviously much larger. If it is not the "Chunhua Yuanbao" Buddha statue money, Han Peacock thinks it is ancestral money instead of mother's money. Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the method of casting money with mother money has been abolished and the method of casting money with mother money has been replaced by sand casting with mother money, thus entering the stage of casting money with mother money in sand. Whenever new money is issued, sample money (including wax samples, tooth samples, wood samples, etc.) is first submitted to the palace. The sample money presented is generally called ancestral money. Then the mother money is copied based on the ancestral money, and finally the mother money is used. Money is smashed into sand molds to cast circulating coins. Due to the adoption of the mother coin casting method, the mother model was eliminated, which saved the cost of coining and made the process more reasonable. It can be said to be twice the result with half the effort. It is a milestone in the history of coinage and laid the foundation for the mother coin casting method in the later Song Dynasty. If it is the manufacture of ordinary coins, it is very likely that the sample money presented to the palace is made of gold, but the "Chunhua Yuanbao" Buddha statue money is different, because it is made of gold itself, so even if it can be seen Although this gold coin is larger than the "Chunhua Yuanbao" Buddha statue, Han Peacock can only say that it is mother's money, but cannot confirm that it is ancestral money. The Song Dynasty was a period when ancient metal coins were minted and used in my country. From the actual object, we can see that the front of the coin is engraved with the four characters "Chunhua Yuanbao" in running script. The font is written by Zhao Guangyi, Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty. The writing style is timeless and free and easy. Song Taizong loved calligraphy all his life. After he came to the throne, he paid attention to calligraphy and asked people to buy calligraphy calligraphy from ancient emperors and famous officials. In the third year of Chunhua, the famous "Chunhua Pavilion Tie" of the Song Dynasty was compiled and engraven, and the rubbings were given to ministers. From then on, they were re-engraved and copied, which made Tie Xue become popular in the Song Dynasty. The two Buddha statues on the back of the coin are lifelike and lifelike. On the right is the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva holding a lotus and sitting on an eight-leaf lotus throne in shackles. There are auspicious clouds entwining under the throne. On the left side is the boy with hair tied on his head, his hands clasped together, his face innocent and lively, and his body slightly turned to the right, standing on the lotus petal seat. It is like a picture of "a boy worshiping Guanyin". So, it¡¯s just this ¡°Chunhua Yuanbao¡± Buddha statue.Mother's money is as good as Han Feng's Xixia money. Seeing Han Feng's frustration, Han Kongque couldn't bear it, so he said: "Generally speaking, rare ancient coins have high collection value, whether they are from the Northern Song Dynasty or other periods, but not all ancient coins Coins are valuable. In addition to the version, age, history, and the level of craftsmanship, it cannot be denied that the craftsmanship of the Song Dynasty is definitely not comparable to that of the Xixia. "" Got it. Yan's way. (To be continued.)
