Jurisprudence of Five Emperors' Money
1, ancient money, the unity of heaven and earth began with Qin Shihuang. Mr. Wang made a textual research in "A General Examination of Ancient Coins in China": "The production of the first emperor's half piece was divided into two parts, with similar degrees, with the middle edge as the benefit and the excircle meat as the sky. Yi copula says: heaven, five places and six places. The number of land is six, so the length, width and width of a square are six points. There are twelve periods in the sky, and the cycle begins again and again. Form is heaven and earth, and number is heaven and earth. They cooperate with each other ... they are very harmonious and the design is the most accurate. " Since the second half of Qin Shihuang, Chinese ancient coins have been cast with the theory of "the sky is round and the earth is round", according to the precise design of the twelve days of the Book of Changes, combined with yin and yang elements. The same is true of the five-baht casting in the Han Dynasty, which expresses that "the son of heaven stands in the Mingtang, so he knows the gods, feels the heaven and the earth, and realizes the four seasons. His Buddhism has virtue, emphasizes Taoism, shows his abilities and praises practitioners. " ..... circle method, bottom method ". Dong Zhongshu of the Han Dynasty put forward the idea of "divine right of monarch", which is embodied in coins, that is, integrating heaven and earth with gods and integrating the son of heaven as the representative of gods into coins. Although the Tang Dynasty abandoned five baht and changed to Bao Tong, its shape still followed the circle of Qin Banliang, but changed the title and the words cast on the face of the currency. Later generations followed this form, adding the country name, dynasty and year number before the word "Bao Tong", such as Yongle Bao Tong and Jiajing Bao Tong in the Ming Dynasty, Shunzhi Bao Tong and Kangxi Bao Tong in the Qing Dynasty. , and "Tiangong Wu Kai" also recorded the words "Bao Tong has a country name". On the basis of the original strong religious meaning, the casting of the country name of the coin surface incorporates the ruling authority, political power and theocracy of the emperor. The name of the emperor is integrated with the shape of the round place, and each copper coin is cast with the words * * *.
2, copper coins, the five elements belong to gold, copper absorbs the gas field better than gold and silver. Therefore, the ancient copper coins that have been circulated for hundreds of years have a strong role in resolving suffocation.
The money of the Five Emperors came from the most powerful and prosperous emperor in China. During their tenure, the country was rich and strong, the emperor was the only one, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the country was rich and strong. Coins are well-made and circulate for a long time, so they can be used to save houses and ward off evil spirits, and have the function of attracting wealth.
4. Five elements and five emperors. Five emperors have five emperors and five elements. As a folk instrument, the five emperors' money has the essence of heaven, earth, yin and yang and five elements, and its power is endless. Among the five emperors of the Qing Dynasty, Shunzhi belonged to water, Kangxi to wood, Yongzheng to earth, Qianlong to gold and Jiaqing to fire. Although the five emperors of China Wudiqian were separated for a long time, their numerology also had the theory of five elements. Qin Shihuang belongs to water, Han Wudi belongs to gold, Emperor Taizong belongs to earth, Song Taizu belongs to wood, and Ming Chengzu belongs to fire.
