One late spring in the early 1990s, my friends and I went to Shiren Mountain, took the cable car to the top of the mountain, and looked up at the beautiful scenery of the peaks and green rhododendrons.
A group of us sat in a pavilion on the side of the mountain road to rest, and not far away, a local old man set up a stall on the side of the road to attract everyone, and when they got closer, they saw that it was a souvenir selling from the mountain. Everyone was very interested in choosing, a string of copper coins in the corner of the stall caught my attention, casually picked up and watched, these dozen copper coins are mostly Qing Dynasty coins, but there are two special copper coins that are different, but I don't know which dynasty it is, but because I like old objects, I spent four dollars to buy it.
When I returned home, I took out Hua Guangpu's "1992. Catalogue of Ancient Chinese Money" and looked it up, and I was overjoyed, one ancient coin was one of the fifty treasures of Guquan, the "Great Shu Tongbao", and the other "Dading ( )" money was not included in the spectrum, presumably it was also a fine product. Because there was no collection fever at that time, it was purely a personal favorite for literary play, so people with hearts often encountered their beloved objects, and it was not surprising that they picked up leaks, just as ma Wei said in the collection, at that time, the official kilns of the qing dynasty in the third generation were not bought for dozens of dollars, not to mention fakes! Teacher Ma is because he loves old objects, and has become a collector at the lowest point of cultural relics.
Later, I happened to see an anecdote about coins in the collection magazine, saying that one of the favorite concubines of the ancient emperor liked calligraphy, and when she saw that the words on the coins were all from the hands of calligraphy people, she also wanted to leave her own ink treasure on the coins, but currency issuance is a serious matter, how can it be a child's play? The emperor did not answer, how nai pet concubine begged repeatedly, the emperor stubbornly but had to agree to let her write two words, but her words really can not be complimented, can not match the calligrapher's "Dading" two words, but she used her little thumb nails to press two "( )" on the money mold, which is also considered to have left her own mark on the coin. This has also made a good story in the spring world.
