Other cultures related to coins.

There are also some cultures closely related to coins, that is, cultures condensed on money-related items such as money boxes, piggy banks and wallets. In addition to the culture and art contained in their appearance, there are also related literature and art, such as ancient "full poems" and so on.

China's coin culture should also include the following cultures, namely, non-circulating currency and quasi-currency culture. Since ancient times, coin collectors and numerologists have treated each other equally. The types and objects of money mentioned here mainly include winning money, praying for money, supporting money, ghost money (especially except circulating money), divination money and game money. The coins in circulation in ancient China, especially the square-hole coins, had few patterns, but they were good at patterns, both in money and in kind. There are many religious contents in the winning money, so there are figures such as ghosts and gods, swords and swords on the winning money, and I want to express some religious thoughts. Pray for money to express people's good wishes. In that kind of money to congratulate on marriage, there are dragon and phoenix figures and exquisite dragon and phoenix characters. When it comes to divination money, people often think that it seems to be only related to feudal superstition, but this understanding is biased. The ancient stories of Yan Ziling Money Department in Han Dynasty and Di Qing Money Department in Song Dynasty are of positive significance. General Di Qing tactfully used Qian Bu to increase the confidence of his men in defeating the enemy, which has always been a beautiful talk in history. When it comes to game coins, people will think of Li Qingzhao, a poetess in the Song Dynasty. It is said that she specializes in playing Mag chess and has written a book. Playing Mag Money is closely related to her. There is also "choosing fairy money". Wang Gui, a poet in Song Dynasty, wrote in Gong Ci that everyone in the palace played this game and chanted that "gambling under the window all day long, and the little doll struggled to find a pot of money". Now we can see that the positive side of choosing fairy money is the image of "immortals" (such as poetry immortals, drunken immortals, etc. ) and the back is poetry, so this kind of money is also called "poetry money". It should also be said that some things are neither copper nor money, but they are similar to money in some aspects, and the culture associated with these things should also be classified as coin culture in a broad sense. For example, there is a kind of money flower among flowers and plants, and poets in the Tang Dynasty wrote many poems about money flowers. People call this round moss money moss. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, several poets wrote poems about Tai Qian. Flower-coated money poems mostly involve real money, which is also a kind of money culture.
