Today, I would like to share the Forbidden City's Qing weaving culture court copper coin weaving lion toy and "Fangliang" Qianlong "money";
Court copper coin woven lion toy
It is 22 cm long, 7 cm wide and 18 cm high; the lion is made of bronze coins, and the lion is embellished with metal bead ornaments. The male lion wears a red pompom on his head, which is majestic; the female lion is cute. This pair of copper coin weaving lions is uniquely crafted and cleverly conceived. It is worthy of the old collection of the court! The pair of bronze lions appeared in the 1924 Xi'an Disaster Relief Exhibition and were toys with special contributions in the Qing court.
Qianlong Tongbao "Qianlong" money
On the beams of the Yangsheng Hall of the Forbidden City, the Forbidden City people found the Qianlong period's prayer - dragon money, which is a new discovery of the Palace Museum in 2017, it is worn into a dragon shape by the Qianlong Tongbao copper coin, with a dragon head, a dragon body, a dragon tail, a dragon claw, placed in the position of the bottom beam of the Roof of the Ming Dynasty, which the Forbidden City people call "Qian Long";
Ancient building house pillars on the beam, is the most important ceremony, the custom of putting coins from the Qing Dynasty began to have, is a kind of town house custom, the house beam is considered to be in the residence in the most blessed and wealthy place, the people used to have the habit of putting copper coins on the roof beams, praying for peace and smoothness.
It is not difficult to find that this set of "money dragon" is clearly woven, the coins are full of files and straight edges, such a set of "money dragon" money is stored in several places in the Forbidden City, because it is on the beams, and now the roof has been covered with wooden boards, which is difficult for us to see!
The Qianlong Emperor's own word "Qianlong" was harmonized with "Qianlong", and he thought that he was the true dragon Tianzi and the embodiment of the dragon, so he dressed this Qianlong Tongbao qian into the shape of a dragon and placed it on this beam;
The color painting on the beam is the sixtieth birthday of Cixi, that is, the seventeenth year of Guangxu, which was repainted, and after the re-painting, this string of "money dragons" was hung up, and it can be seen that whether it is the Forbidden City or the folk, this kind of ceremony of shangliang daji, which means peace is indispensable!
Speaking of money weaving, everyone is very familiar with it, Qing qian weaving, Song qian weaving, etc., Song qian weaving is mostly modern, Song qian has a large amount of existence, many ordinary products, people often weave into swords, ding, yuanbao and other shapes, with good meaning to sell it better; the old weave of Qing qian is still a lot, but there are also many Qing qian weaving of the Republic of China, people use Qing qian to weave into money balls, baskets, portraits, curtains and other shapes, but it is rare to weave into small lions or such a large dragon shape like the Forbidden City;
In the collection, I have to say that the coin plus a hemp rope, a shape, will sell a good price, like the following pile, no shape, the color of the rope is not the same, feel very new, the coin mouth is not bad, a total of 388.47g, in Huaxia Guquan in 2019 auctioned 3616 yuan, better than a single sale of much better;
The value of the Qing money can not look at the number of coins, to see what kind of coin is made, the general "Qiandaojia" is more common, there are also a small number of Yongzheng, Shunzhi, Kangxi weaving, the following set of Qingqian weaving to Kangxi-based, coin package pulp heirloom beauty, personal particularly like, in August this year Huaxia auction, the transaction price of 2938 yuan;
About the Qing money compilation today for everyone to share here, mainly want to share the Forbidden City's "Money Dragon" money, is really shocked to me, on the occasion of New Year's Day, I wish everyone a smooth and peaceful year, Happy New Year's Day, thank you for the attention and support of Xiaobian in the past year!
