There are always some quan friends who express concern about the market of ancient money, and the "currency circle collapse theory" has also been clamoring for decades, and even "Meng Xin" is very dismissive: "Isn't it just a piece of copper flakes, fried to such a high price, the cannon sounded, who still buys your broken copper flakes!" ”
Indeed, in the literal sense, ancient money is a "broken copper sheet", does not produce practical value, just like the luxury goods purchased by large stars, spending money to buy is the brand premium, you recognize, it has value, you do not recognize, it is worthless!
Since so many people are willing to pay for these "broken copper sheets", it is a recognition of its future value, will it collapse? Let's discuss what the real world of Guquan looks like from all aspects.
The value of the collection is reflected in its cultural connotation, historical heritage, and rarity, material, craftsmanship and public recognition of it, and it just so happens that ancient money has all the above characteristics.
Chinese civilization is the only civilization in the world that has been passed down for thousands of years and has been layered, and all dynastic changes and regimes can be found in coins. Coins can be said to be one of our cultural symbols, economy, agriculture, architecture, politics, religion, the wisdom of the ancients, are condensed in coins.
Li Si, Ouyang Qing, Su Dongpo, Cai Jing, Mi Fu, Ouyang Xiu, Jin Zhangzong, Dang Huaiying, Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi, Song Huizong Zhao Yao, a history of ancient coins is a history of calligraphy inheritance and evolution.
More than 10 languages, such as Baloo, Guizi, Manichae, Khotanese, Sogdian, Uighur, Basipa, Khitan, Xixia, Chagatai, Manchu, etc., as well as the evolution of Chinese characters in The Seal Officia, ancient coins have witnessed the great integration of various ethnic groups in China, giving a glimpse of the changes in ancient civilization.
It can be said that the thick culture carried by the ancient Chinese currency is incomparable to any country, the United States only has a history of more than 200 years, and the coins they minted during the founding of the country are now millions of dollars in sky-high prices (such as double eagle gold coins, Statue of Liberty nickel coins, etc.), if they have such a long history as China, then it is not blown to the sky?
Master collectors of the China Spring Coin Society
The first heyday of the history of Chinese coin collection was during the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, when a group of masters, scholars, and collectors, such as Zhang Shutao, Luo Bozhao, Ding Fubao, Wang Yinjia, Li Yinxuan, Dai Baoting, and Ma Dingxiang, learned from each other and published books and biographies, laying the foundation for the development of guquan collection.
Chen Rentao spent 5,000 oceans in order to collect a national treasure, Jin Zhiwan! After Uncle Zhang tamed 500 oceans to buy the "Four Eyes Qi" from Dai Baoting's hand, he treasured it and he didn't sell it for tens of millions of dollars! Quanshang Wang Xixian lost his family and bought millions of famous treasures such as Gold Coins, Furnace Money, and Tooth Money from the relatives of the Former Qing Emperor.
Luo Bozhao, Zhang Shutao, Zheng Zhenduo, Yang Chengqi, Du Weishan and other sages, who hid countless money in their lives, but devoted most of their life's efforts to the country, so that they have the numismatic treasures in the top museums today, and there is now a prosperous scene of the ancient spring collection.
Without the efforts of these people, many precious ancient money and cultural relics will disappear in history, and it is precisely because of them that later collectors are more successful in carrying forward the industry of ancient spring collection.
Playing with ancient coins is not only a collection and investment, but also one of the best ways for modern people to understand ancient history, economy and calligraphy. In 2017, Zhang Jianguo, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, put forward a proposal on increasing the proportion of numismatic culture in the teaching of history in primary and secondary schools, and at the two sessions in 2021, Zhang Jianguo's draft proposal will focus on the establishment of numismatic self-confidence in culture and the cultivation of numismatic cultural identity.
In recent years, the state has also strengthened the revision and supplementation of numismatic knowledge in primary and secondary school textbooks, and the special columns "Numismatics and Dynasties" and "Numismatic China" produced by the education channel are open to the public, and the cultural publicity of numismatics in online media is uninterrupted.
The United States, Britain, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam and other countries, scholars and collectors who systematically collect ancient Chinese coins are also countless, and China's numismatic culture is also an important part of world culture!
Many people think that coins are just investment products, just commodities hyped by merchants, which is too superficial...
When you truly understand that behind ancient coins is to strengthen people's understanding of China's history, culture and economy, and has the important significance of enhancing patriotic education and enhancing national self-confidence, you will know how ignorant it is to preach the "coin collapse theory"!
Over the years, the collection has not only not become a "sunset industry", but the fine products have become more and more expensive, and there are countless followers, I don't know how the people who sang the decline of the year feel now?
The historical background of ancient coins is far from being comparable to some virtual coins speculated by modern people, even if from the perspective of realistic interests, the plate of pure financial commodities is too high, who is the last receiver, who will lose very badly, but ancient coins are always steadily increasing in value, even if there is a short-term market decline and fluctuation, it will never become a worthless bubble.
The inheritance of numismatic culture, but also the inheritance of history, especially now that we use less and less paper money, its value is becoming more and more prominent, you can say with great confidence, unless the world economy collapses, or the world war occurs and the earth is destroyed, otherwise you can rest assured that you can collect ancient coins!
