Let me briefly introduce the reign of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty in 61 years. At that time, the social politics was relatively stable, the economy developed rapidly, and the commodity exchange and monetary economy were also very developed. Therefore, the coins that Kangxi once minted were very beautiful, most of them were very regular, the money type was very heavy, the words were beautiful and generous, the casting volume was huge, and the world was very rich. In the first year of Kangxi (1662), the Qing government ordered to stop casting money from the previous generation of Bao Tong, Shunzhi, and instead cast money from Bao Tong, Kangxi, and stipulated that the money system would be the same in the future. Throughout the Kangxi period, there were 24 mint bureaus in China. At that time, due to the problems of smelting and casting costs and privately minted coins, each Kangxi coin once weighed four cents, one cent and seven cents respectively, resulting in three different weights of Kangxi Bao Tong coins we see today. Except Baoquan and Baoyuan Bureaus set up by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs, the characters on the back of Kangxi Money are all in Manchu, and the characters on the back of Bao Tongqian, which are fiddled with by other foreign money bureaus, are all in Manchu on the left, and the characters on the right correspond to Chinese characters. In order to facilitate the collection and research, later generations compiled the bureau names of Manchu and Han dynasties together, forming a "back-to-back poem" with smooth rhyme of Kangxi money. Shi Yun: Fu Lin has Dongjiang River and Xuanyuan has an airport. Ningguang Nanhe, Zhejiang, Guishan, Zhang Yun, Taiwan Province. This poem includes 20 rounds of "Kangxi Bao Tong" in Chinese. So some people call Kangxi's money "twenty poems". Later, the word "Gong" appeared (Gansu Bureau), and some people said that money bureaus such as "Mi", "Chuan", "Gui" and ""all had Kangxi money. But so far, we have only seen the words "palace" and "",and the others have not seen the real thing, which is still controversial. Kangxi Bao Tong, commonly known as arhat money, is said to have been cast by arhat melting gold in Nian Gengyao. Its color is golden yellow, and Kangxi's "Xi" is one vertical less than popular words. Among them, there are palace money decorated with dragons and phoenixes in the Qing Dynasty, which are deeply loved by collectors. In addition, from the 60th birthday of Kangxi, the Fu Bao Bureau of Fujian made ten products every year until Emperor Kangxi 1722 took the helm, which is also rare in the world. There is also a carved mother, just like money flowing down from the world. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the rise of Shanxi merchants and Shanxi merchants banks was famous at home and abroad. Especially in the Qing dynasty, banks were developed, so that there are still a large number of ancient coins in circulation in Shanxi. It is said that many coin-minting craftsmen in Shanxi in the Qing Dynasty worked in Beijing Money Bureau, and brought a large number of exquisite coins back to Shanxi for various reasons. And those beautiful coins are all sample coins or mother money at that time, and now they are rare varieties. Through more than 20 years of folk excavation, it is true that the number of rare currencies discovered by Shanxi folk in the Qing Dynasty is far greater than that of other provinces.
During the reign of the holy father Kangxi, regular script, regular script back. There are two kinds of Manchu, Manchu and Chinese, and Manchu is imitated by Shunzhi. Back Baoquan and Baoyuan Second Bureau, Manchu-Chinese money imitates the five styles of Shunzhi, Dai Zuo is the Manchu "treasure" and the right is the name of the Chinese Emperor Bureau. "Dongjiang, Xuanyuan Sujichang, Nanhe Ningguangzhe and Taiguishan". There is also Gong Xi, 2.5-2.7 cm in diameter and 3.8-5.6 grams in weight. There are also several stars on the back, moon marks, and money on the back. Remember to pay. When the diameter of the top ten money is 4.7 cm, it is rare for the top ten money to be handed down from generation to generation, and it is also rare for the top ten money to be wide on the back, wide on the south and double on the east. Even fewer people remember to spend money.
2. Explain in detail that during the Kangxi period, there were 24 mint bureaus in China, and the coins minted by different mint bureaus were different. When these 24 kinds of coins are collected together, there is not much difference. They are both Kangxi and Bao Tong, but their back words are different. Except Baoquan Bureau and Baoyuan Bureau, the other 22 kinds of coins are in Manchu and Chinese, and the left is Manchu.
? During the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi Bao Tong cast regular script on the surface, and arhat Qian, a variant of Kangxi Bao Tong, was also written on the surface, but it was obviously different from ordinary Kangxi Bao Tong. First, there is one more vertical line on the left side of the ordinary words "Kangxi Bao Tong" and "xi", but "arhat money" is not; Second, the ordinary "Kangxi Bao Tong" is "two-point communication", while "arhat money" is "single-point communication"; Thirdly, "arhat money" is better than ordinary "Kangxi Bao Tong", and the copper is golden and shiny. The most important difference between arhat money and other Kangxi Bao Tong is that arhat money is bigger, and although Kangxi Bao Tong is wider than before, the diameter of ordinary Kangxi Bao Tong is between 26.00 and 26.50, and arhat money is above 27.00. Now I have kept some arahant money. Similar to the modern word "Xi", arhat money is golden because it is made of zinc, so it looks golden, not because there is gold in it.
There is no record of "arhat money" in history, and even the information about it is omitted in Chunjiading's "Illustration of Ancient Money in Past Dynasties". Because of this, there are many legends circulating among the people. It is said that at the beginning of16th century, Emperor Kangxi sent troops to Tibet to suppress rebellion, and he was short of money on the way, so he collected bronze Buddha coins from Buddhist temples. In order to make up the number, it was cast into money with 65,438+08 golden arhats, so the money was golden, so it was called "arhat money". Second, during the Daoguang period, there were 500 arhats in Jingci Temple. A devout believer accidentally touched this kind of Kangxi money in the back hole of the ocean's statue, thinking it was given by heaven. If it is a treasure, it is called "arhat money". In fact, "arhat money" is a kind of longevity money specially cast for Kangxi's 60th birthday. Kangxi was the longest reigning emperor in the Qing Dynasty, lasting 6 1 year. In the fifty-second year of Kangxi (1765,438+03), March was his sixtieth birthday. Baoquan Bureau (then Mint) specially designated a batch of "Wanshou Money" as birthday souvenirs, and the word "Baoquan" was written in Manchu on the back and left. This kind of coin is particularly exquisite in workmanship. Because it is said to be made of gold arhat, later generations made it into a ring, or gave it to the younger generation after melting, or as a lucky money for the younger generation, or as a lucky money for the daughter when she got married, resulting in less and less handed down. So far, it has become a rare variety in family photos. Third, Kangxi condom Qian Shengzu was cast in the Kangxi period, and the face text was directly read and recorded. Divided into Manchu and Manchu, Manchu money imitates Shunzhi, Baoquan and Baoyuan, and Manchu money imitates Shunzhi. Wearing left is the treasure of Manchu dynasty, and wearing right is the name of Han bureau; Blessed by Dongjiang River, Xuanyuan Sujichang, Ning Guang, Nanhe, Zhejiang, and Zhang Yun, Guishan, Taiwan Province. There is also Gong Xi, 2.5-2.7 cm in diameter and 3.8-5.6 grams in weight. There are also several stars on the back, moon marks, and money on the back. Remember to pay. In August of A.D. 166 1, Kangxi began casting the memorial of "Kangxi Bao Tong", and the national drum was cast only after the reform in the second year. Although the production of Kangxi Bao Tongqian is not exquisite, it is thick and round, and its quality is better than that of the previous generation. There are only two kinds of Bao Tong in Kangxi, namely, the name of Manchu Baoquan, Baoyuan and Manchu Han Bureau. The first category is the imitation of two Manchu languages (a word "Bao" plus a bureau name) in Shunzhi, and there are two categories; The second category is Manchu-Chinese correspondence (a Chinese character bureau name plus a Manchu bureau name), which includes 20 categories, including "Tong", "Fu", "Qin", "Dong", "Xuan" and "Xuan". Two kinds of Kangxi Bao Tong (excluding arhat money) cast 22 kinds of money, which is called "Kangxi set of money". There is a saying among Tibetans that Gansu casts the word "Gong", Shaanxi casts the word "Xi" and Shuntianfu Miyun casts the word "Mi". However, experts believe that "Gong Ximi's back casting is extremely rare and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false". In addition, there is a set of 12 boxer coins minted by Fujian Fu Bao Bureau. Experts believe: "Everything is a treasure. It has been passed down since it was cast. The directory is incomplete. The pursuit is futile. " Kangxi's Luohan condoms Zhejiang, so today Kangxi's "condom money" often refers to the money cast by 22 yuan Bureau, which is called "small full set". It is not easy to collect the "small complete works" of the whole Kangxi period. For example, it is difficult to find a big "wide" and a big "Taiwan". There are "small and vulgar products, but also difficult to seek widely, big and widely valuable" and "small Taiwan can stand out, top grade is big Taiwan, Taiwan is true and false" There are single and double points in "communication", and it is ideal to integrate the two points of "communication" money, but the key is to carry the "east" two points of "communication" money. As the saying goes, "things are rare, and some are precious." Please remember. 4. The current market price is about 20 rounds, which is the same as that of Dongjiang, Xuanyuan Sujichang and Nanhe Ning Guang in Fu Lin. Taiwan, Guangxi, Shaanxi and Zhang Yun, among which the more common bureaus are Lindong Xuanyuan, Changhe, Ning Guang, Xichuan and Ji Yun. This 12 game is relatively wide (small) and the cheapest is less than 10 yuan. About 30 pieces of Heshan thistle are about 25 pieces, and the rest is about 20 pieces. I mean to reach the level of the original bureau in my post. It will be cheaper if the goods are weak. Then we are about 10-15 20 12, which is a normal game, about 240-280, and the remaining eight games will be miserable. The cheapest of the remaining eight games is the same, and the products of 40 Jiang and Su are 60-80 points. Even Fu Xiao needs 120 to have a decent appearance. At least 180 xiaonan will pass a hundred stops, and no good products will pass 500. Generally, a decent set of 20 games will pass.
