Song Dynasty coins Chunhua ingots. This ancient coin was minted in the first year of Taizong's Chunhua reign (990). Round square holes. Qian Wenkai, line, grass three-body, by the Song Taizong personally written. There is no text on the back. There are two types: copper and iron. It is said that the county was established in the fourth year of Chunhua in the Northern Song Dynasty, that is, in 993 A.D., and was named after the year name. I think that the Northern Song Dynasty court should have its historical basis for choosing the era name from the historical records, and Chunhua is related to Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor.
Literally, the meaning of Chunhua in the historical records seems to be close to domestication, but now the words composed of the two words Chunhua have the meaning of beautifying and making bad things better, in addition to place names. The second theme is Mount Yetai. The name of Yetai Mountain originated in the Yuan Dynasty, there used to be an ancient temple on the mountain, the temple was very large, and there were eight auxiliary gods next to the main god of worship, but unfortunately it was destroyed in the war during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty. Due to the lack of literature, it is now difficult to verify. The Yellow Emperor is the first ancestor of humanity and the most sacred of the founders of the Chinese nation, and his assistant may be the legendary Eight Yuan and Eight Kai. The legend of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor on Yetai Mountain represents the excellent traditional culture of China's long history.
When the Chunhua ingots were issued, it was when the Northern Song Dynasty gradually stabilized and the national strength was strong, so the Chunhua ingots were issued in large quantities, but because the year name was not used for a long time, the number was not the largest, and the Chunhua ingots were only seen in small flat money, and the money was written by Song Taizong himself, which was the emperor's imperial book, and there were four kinds of real books, line books, cursive scripts and official books. The bareback is not expensive, about two or three yuan a piece, while the one with a star on the back costs a few hundred yuan a piece. The value of Chunhua ingots and copper varies from a few hundred yuan to hundreds of thousands of yuan, depending on factors such as the state of preservation, historical value, artistic value and rarity of copper coins. If it is a mother coin or sample coin, due to its high rarity, the market value may reach tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan.
In February, there is also a treasure of Chunhua ingots, that is, "Chunhua ingots" money, which not only has engraved numbers on the back, but also casts two Buddha statues, which is the first time found in our country. The two Buddha statues cast by the money back of "Chunhua ingots" have lotus thrones and auspicious clouds to rely on. The lotus flower is a symbol of Buddhism, indicating that this gold coin has a certain relationship with the Buddhist activities at that time, Buddhism was introduced to China from the Eastern Han Dynasty, and developed to a prosperous stage in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, Chunhua ingots money is also known as Buddha money. After this "Chunhua ingot" money was unearthed, it was privately divided and resold by migrant workers, and later came to the Hong Kong coin market, where a piece of money can be exchanged for a luxury car, and the preciousness can be imagined.
Chinese culture is broad and profound, and we must integrate the integration of traditional culture and modern civilization to make Chinese civilization more magnificent. Welcome everyone to ** the historical value of ingots!
