Mr. Chang never expected that he would invite Luo Tian to bring a "hand of gods". The training class has now opened up. The students who were originally waiting to listen to Luo Tian's lectures must first listen to Gu Yuping.
Regarding the lecture on ancient coins, Mr. Chang briefly introduced the origin of ancient jade, especially his "hand of God" before he came to the podium.
One of the students showed a sly smile on his face, which happened to fall into Luo Tian's eyes, and he felt that in a while, Gu Yuping would be in trouble. This student was about twenty years old, just in time.
When the qi and blood are strong, it is not surprising that some extraordinary actions will be made.
Fortunately, after receiving Luo Tian’s time notification, Gu Yuping stayed up late and made a slide to facilitate teaching. He is worthy of being a university professor. He is very systematic. Luo Tian felt a little embarrassed, so he only brought a mouth and
A few samples came over, and it was a little amateur.
"Students, ancient coins refer to ancient currency. Currency is the product of commodity exchange. China is the earliest country in the world to use coins. Many "unwritten copper shells" were unearthed in the late Shang Dynasty three thousand years ago, which are the most primitive
Metal currency. In the late Western Zhou Dynasty, in addition to shell coins, some metal weighing currencies such as copper blocks and copper ingots with no certain shape were also circulated, which were also unearthed in archaeological excavations. Chinese coins created and broke many worlds of the China World Record Association
The most, the most in China." The ancient jade-ping mentioned ancient coins and came endlessly.
"The earliest currency that appeared in the late primitive society was physical currency. Generally speaking, nomadic peoples used livestock and animal skins to realize their monetary functions, while agricultural peoples used grains, cloth, agricultural tools, pottery, sea shells, pearls and jade as the earliest physical currency.
.”
"According to archaeological excavations of late Neolithic sites such as Banpo, a large number of pottery jars were unearthed as burial objects; the Dawenkou culture buried a large number of pig heads and jaw bones, indicating that pigs and pottery had the function of monetary wealth in the late primitive society. But it is well known that
The ancient physical currency that was widely circulated was shellfish. Because it was indivisible to act as physical currency, cattle, sheep, pigs and other livestock, the grains would rot, there were too few pearls and jade, and the knife shovel was heavy, so it was finally concentrated on the physical currency of sea shells.
Can be used as necklaces, which are of use value and are easy to carry and count, so they are selected as the main currency in long-term commodity exchange. During archaeological excavations, a large number of natural shells were unearthed in sites in the Xia and Shang dynasties, and shells were used as physical currency until the Spring and Autumn Period.
Period. Therefore, most characters related to Chinese characters that are related to wealth and value are related to Bei. Such as: expensive, capital, greed, poverty, wealth, purchase, etc..”
"To sum up, the main currency forms of the late primitive society to the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties were physical currencies, and the ones with wide circulation were natural shells. A small amount of metal weighing currencies and minting coins in the later period, which was the period of currency germination and formation."
Luo Tian was shocked. This was too systematic. When he thought of his general description, Luo Tian was a little ashamed. Today, he was afraid that he would give the ancient jade flat the bottom, which was different.
"Next, I will tell you the historical process of ancient currency. What I just told you is the main currency forms from the late primitive society to the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. Next, we will enter the Qin dynasty era.
.” Gu Yuping said: "First of all, it was the pre-Qin period, that is, the Warring States Period, when the six kingdoms were not unified."
"During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, with the development of commodity economy, metal weighing currencies that need to be divided and identified in circulation gradually became unsuitable and were replaced by metal coins. From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, cloth coins were established.
, Knife, Ant Nose Money, and Ringqian, and then entered the era of Tomb Money.”
The term gang money is very unfamiliar to students, and a student immediately raised his hand to ask: "Teacher, is gang money a special noun for ancient coins?"
"It's good for you to ask this question." Gu Yuping said: "But it does not refer specifically to a certain type of ancient coins. The statutory currency refers to a type of coins issued by the state or local governments. It consists of different versions of the statutory currency.
The "mean coins" were derived. The system of tuning coins can be divided into two major stages from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The first stage: the Qin and Han Dynasties were mainly composed of copper coins, and the Qin "banliang coins" and the Han "wuzhu coins" were used as
The two main system stages of Zhu Zhu. In the second stage, the Tang and Song Dynasties, the year number appeared in coins, and the Baowen system was different from the two systems of Zhu Zhu. The paper money and silver standard system also appeared, which was divided into the next paragraph.”
PPT is made very exquisitely, and the coins of each dynasty are clearly listed on it, so that the students can see it at a glance. Luo Tian regrets that he has just prepared a written tutorial. In teaching, he is no match for Gu Yuping at all.
, admit it!
Next, a student raised his hands: "Teacher, do ancient coins become more valuable the earlier they are?" This question caused a burst of laughter. Because it was a training class for the society, many of them came completely out of their hobbies.
Students, such students are almost equal to laymen, so it is not surprising that they will ask such questions.
"This classmate must be good at reading minds, because the questions you receive are what I will talk about soon." Gu Yuping was very humorous, and the atmosphere in the classroom suddenly became lively, and a burst of laughter filled the classroom again.
"When we identify the value of ancient coins, there are four main views." Gu Yuping said: "At first glance at the historical value, rare ancient coins are real objects of currency history and are also witnesses of history. Therefore, before collecting, it must be clear that it is
Historical status; second, look at the existing quantity, and everyone understands the principle that things are rare and precious, third, look at the cultural value, mainly refer to the words or patterns on ancient coins, look at their taste; fourth, look at their appearance, look at their appearance
Antique players should know that regardless of whether the coins are rare or not, any coin has blurred surfaces, defective outlines, and severe rust. If you look at them with poorer ones, try not to collect them."
The students in the audience nodded and remembered these four points in their minds. However, the most difficult thing is the historical value. I have to improve my understanding of the historical process of ancient coins in order to better evaluate the value of ancient coins in this regard.
"Finally, I want to emphasize that when collecting ancient coins, you should also pay attention to whether there are moon patterns, star patterns and other logos. The identification of ancient coins uses the memorial text to distinguish the age and address of the minting, and evaluate their rareness. Generally speaking, coins are
The ones with moon patterns and star patterns on the back are more valuable for collection than those with glossy backs. Among the coins worth collecting, court coins made of gold, silver, white copper, etc. are small in size and good in quality, and are precious
Cultural relics.”
Luo Tian found that the young boy's hand was put in his pocket just now, and then suddenly stood up: "Teacher Gu, I heard that you are the hand of gods. You can estimate the weight of any kind of coins by weighing them with your hands.
Can we see, classmates, what do you think?”
Needless to say, everyone naturally started to coax, and couldn't wait to see Gu Yuping reveal his skills. Luo Tian was a little curious about what would be in this kid's pocket.
