What is the difference between square hole money and round hole money?

The square hole is good and has high collection value.

First of all, the difference between a square hole and a round hole

Square hole is the representative of Su furnace, with a diameter of 53.

The round hole is the representative of Sichuan furnace, with a diameter of 54.

Second, the origin of copper coins

Spending money originated in the Han Dynasty. Because this kind of coin is not a currency, its material is mostly rough. Han people usually call this kind of money "pocket money". Although "spending money" is in the form of coins.

But it is not used for circulation, and it is a "counterfeit currency" in currency. There are many ways for Han people to spend money, such as opening a stove, saving money, giving gifts, praying, thanking, having fun, accessories, zodiac signs and so on.

The main contents are "Longevity and Prosperity", "Longevity in Fude", "Promotion of Officials" and "Peace in the World", which also reflects the infiltration of China traditional culture. Shan Gui spent money, which was used by Taoist priests in Qing Dynasty to cast spells to exorcise demons, shock ghosts and exorcise evil spirits. It can also be called a musical instrument.

Third, the cultural implication.

After the opening ceremony of Taoist priests, people should hang them at home or carry them with them to protect their safety. On the one hand, Shan Gui spent money to buy gossip, on the other hand, he wrote a 27-word spell in the middle: "Thunder and thunder, kill ghosts and descend to the essence, cut off demons and ward off evil spirits, and keep the spirit clear forever. I am anxious to serve the old gentleman. "

There are four big characters on the left and right, also known as "immortal seal" Rune is interpreted as "thunder order to kill ghosts", left as "thunder order" and right as "kill ghosts".

Some people interpret these four words as three words: "Shocking Shan Gui", which is a mistake in interpreting "Shocking" as "Shocking" and "Killing ghosts" as "Shan Gui".

The so-called "Shan Gui" is actually a "murderer", and "ghost" means "murder". The original meaning is that the "ghost" has three thunder balls on its head, and these thunder balls will produce flames. It means to hit a ghost with lightning and then make a fire to kill it.

It is not a hieroglyph of "mountain". There is another saying: Shan Gui, usually called the Mountain God, is still called Shan Gui, because it was not officially canonized as a saint by the Emperor of Heaven.

Fourth, the collection value.

Because of its long history, Shan Gui's spending money not only has the attributes of antique collection, but also has the functional characteristics of exorcism and the cultural attributes of Chinese ancient coin collection, and its value cannot be copied and regenerated.

And more and more collectors, the price of Shan Gui currency will definitely go up all the way! It is both the witness of history and the crystallization of the times. There is a lot of room for appreciation, which is a topic worthy of attention for collectors.
