After eating and drinking, Chen Wenzhe ignored Zheng Yu and the others and found a taxi to go home.
When I got home, the house was quiet. He seemed to have come back a little early, and there was no one at home.
Needless to say, I must be busy in the hot pot restaurant.
This time period is exactly the time after dinner. It is definitely impossible for his elder brother and sister-in-law, including his parents, to go home at this time.
A little excited and still early, Chen Wenzhe went directly to the treasure house on the underground floor.
He didn't touch other things in the treasure house, but slipped out a woven bag and came to the living room on the first floor.
He's been too busy recently, so he really hasn't sorted out these ancient coins.
Not to mention other things, he did not find the money for the Chunhua Yuanbao Golden Buddha that he saw at that time.
He remembered that the gold coin seemed to be hidden in this woven bag.
I have some free time tonight, so I happened to find it and put it away carefully.
I poured out some of the coins from the woven bag. After a quick check, I found that there were several hundred coins.
Maybe the quantity he calculated before was still less.
I pushed it open and immediately found some copper coins stuck together.
However, these adhesions are not serious, as long as they are carefully broken apart, it will be fine.
It's a pity that those who sell these coins don't even have this patience.
Or, they may have more such coins in their hands.
Chen Wenzhe prefers the latter. Only if they have more such coins in their hands will they not care about this sack of copper coins.
For example, Chen Wenzhe had seen a mountain of money, so after seeing a sack of bronze coins, he felt very normal.
From the scattered copper coins in the sack, Chen Wenzhe had already concluded that he might have discovered a cellar.
And it is most likely a temple hoard in the Yuan Dynasty, because there is a lot of donation money in it.
The Yuan Dynasty was a special dynasty, perhaps because it believed in Buddhism. There were many temples and a lot of money to support them.
The types of donation money in the Yuan Dynasty were complex and numerous.
Generally speaking, they can be roughly divided into the following seven types: First, the year number coins are easy to recognize. For example, the Dingtian coin that Chen Wenzhe is holding in his hand is very interesting.
According to statistics from the "Dictionary of Ancient Coins·Supplements", the year-name coins handed down from ancient times only lack one type of "Tian Shun", but have an extra type of "Ding Tian". This may also be because Tian Shun was mistakenly written as Ding Tian.
Of course, the largest number of them were the Great Yuan Bao and the Great Yuan Tong Bao. Chen Wenzhe caught four or five of these two types after just a little searching.
Chen Wenzhe really doesn't believe it if he didn't dig up the temple's sesame oil money and the tributes in front of the Buddha.
Because it is a private collection, it is impossible to collect so much donation money.
Strictly speaking, except for Zhi Da Tong Bao, which is used as money for daily use, the other "Zhi Da Tong Bao" and Chinese "Da Yuan Tong Bao" money should all be considered as support money.
If these cannot prove Chen Wenzhe's speculation, then the appearance of the money with the name of the temple qualifies this batch of coins.
The name of the temple on the money used in the money is the name of the temple, such as Shengshou Wan'an (with "Mu Qing" on the back), Chenghua Puqing, Puqing Temple Treasure, Da'an Fu Temple, Dadijue Temple, Yanyou Tongbao (with "Mu Qing" on the back)
"Great Haotian Temple") etc.
There are also coins with Buddhist names. The inscriptions on the coins all use names or special words from Buddhist scriptures, such as the Great Compassion Mantra, Baozhu Bodhisattva, Buddha Dharma Sangha Treasure, Amitabha Buddha, etc.
As long as ordinary Song coins are selected, the remaining yuan coins are almost all coins related to Buddhism.
In addition to the donation money named after the temple name and the name of the Buddha, there are also auspicious money, incense money, etc.
Although there are not many of these coins, you can always find them if you look for them.
For example, the Mu Qing Bronze Treasure that Chen Wenzhe saw before.
To be precise, it should be a copper treasure from Mu Qing, carrying "Zhizheng" money.
"Mu Qing" is the abbreviation of "Mu Ru Qingfeng", which comes from "The Book of Songs·Daya·Chengmin".
"Ji Fu composed a chant, and the silence was like the breeze, and Zhong Shan Fu always cherished it to soothe his heart."
Later generations used "Mu Qing" to refer to the sky, and by extension, to refer to the spirit of peace or peace and harmony.
Later palaces were often named after "Mu Qing".
For example, in the Southern Tang and Northern Song Dynasties during the Five Dynasties, Mu Qing Hall was built. In the Yuan Dynasty, Mu Qing Hall, also known as Mu Qing Pavilion, was built in Shengshou Wan'an Temple.
The least discovered thing here was the Mu Qing Bronze Treasure, which made Chen Wenzhe a little regretful.
Since there are so few Mu Qing copper treasures, there are even less traces of Mu Qing silver treasures and Mu Qing gold treasures.
After searching for a while, I picked out some incense money.
For example, go to Xiangzhishe (carry "Shen"), Zhending offer incense (carry "Qingqi Xiaoshe"), go to Shunrenshen (carry "Guardian"), go to Shuntongbao (carry "Taiyi"), go to Yuanwu
Yin (carrying "Xiang Palace") and so on.
Chen Wenzhe had never heard of these before, so he gained some experience this time.
Don't look at these copper coins, each one is pitch black, but there are still many very expensive treasures inside.
For example, Chen Wenzhe selected the Mu Qing Bronze Treasure. Even though he picked out a lot of these things, not many of them are circulated outside.
Like the extremely beautiful piece in Chen Wenzhe's hands, if it goes up for auction, the price will definitely not be low.
This Mu Qing copper treasure is 41mm in diameter and looks very conspicuous.
This is a special variety that is rare and has its own series among the offerings of money from the Yuan Dynasty.
According to the old records: there are several sizes, the big one is like a small flat, the small one is less than 1.5cm;
There are both plain memorizers and "Zhizheng" memorizers. The styles are consistent, and it can be seen that they originated during the Zhizheng period.
This large Mu Qing copper treasure coin in Chen Wenzhe's hand is shaped like ten folds, with elegant writing, majestic layout, fine and smooth copper texture, and an ancient engraving. It is an extremely rare Yuan coin treasure.
Such coins are naturally very expensive.
As far as he knows, such a coin has reached a price of 480,000 yuan in auction records.
It can be said that one piece like this is worth the price of admission.
After selecting the special ones, the rest are Song Qian.
Of course, the most common Song coins are ordinary Song coins.
In fact, Song Dynasty coins, regardless of the number of coin names, coin art, or coin types, have reached the pinnacle of ancient feudal society.
Song Dynasty coins occupy an important position in the history of Chinese coins.
As for the coins of the Northern Song Dynasty, after the establishment of the Song Dynasty, the "Song and Yuan Tongbao" coins were minted in the first year of Jianlong of Taizu (960 AD).
Because the country name "Song" was directly cast on the coins, it was called "country name money".
Renzong of the Song Dynasty minted "Huang Song Tong Bao" and others, among which "Huang Song Tong Bao" had many varieties and a large number of common products have survived in the world.
There are only a few things that can attract Chen Wenzhe's attention, such as Daguan Tongbao.
This "big" piece with a very long character is called Shi Da Guan Tong Bao, and its diameter is 40 mm, which is slightly larger than the ordinary Shi Da Guan Tong Bao, which is 38 mm;
It is 3 mm thick, slightly thicker than the ordinary Dang Shi Da Guan Tong Bao;
Weighing 18.2 grams, it is also heavier than the ordinary Dangshida Guantongbao;
The production is exquisite and beautiful, the ground is smooth, and the face and edges are deep and steep.
It can be said that anything that can be sent to the Buddha for worship is not defective.
