month. Moussegaard Auction House in Melbourne, Australia, is preparing for the upcoming auction, while the staff is also reviewing and inspecting the exhibits that will appear at the upcoming auction, most of which are precious artifacts from all over the world, including Luohan wood carvings from China.
Around the time of the Tang and Song dynasties, Great progress was made in Chinese wood carving technology, especially many wood carved Buddha statues in Buddhism, which had extremely high value. And this Luohan wood carving, which has a history of hundreds of years, is very precious.
However, when the experts examined its head, they were surprised to find that the head of the Luohan had a small gap, which the experts initially thought was just a crack, but judging by the percussion, the head of the Luohan was hollow! After obtaining the consent of the owner of this wood carving, the head of the wood carving was gently lifted, and inside it was a very old piece of paper, and the words on it were faintly recognizable: Daming Pass Treasure Banknote, Hongwu Year, Month, Day, and so on. Luohan wood carving is the product of the tribute paid by the Buddhist temple to the court, which was kept in the Ming and Qing dynasties for a long time, until the British and French troops burned the Yuanmingyuan, and the wood carving was snatched away and spread overseas. I have experienced two collectors, and neither of them has discovered the mystery inside.
The earliest paper money with monetary value in China was from the Song Dynasty
In the early Ming Dynasty, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang also hoped to emulate the Song Dynasty and implement the paper money system, but the Ming government did not have the stable economic strength of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, after a very short period of time, the treasure banknote was gradually abolished, but the coin of consistent value in the Luohan wood carving was preserved.
The owner of the coin, who is also a monk in the temple, has to say that his method of hiding money is very skilled.
In the past, although the monks were funded by the government and the people, the monks paid attention to self-cultivation, and some of them
Although "private money" is not illegal, it is not good to be known by others, and how can the arhat say that it is also the most sacred item in the Buddhist gate, how can it be associated with worldly things? The master of money hiding also calculated the truth that "the most dangerous place is the safest", hiding the money in it, of course, if he is caught by the host, I am afraid that he will also be punished greatly.
Why didn't the owner of the banknote end up spending the banknote? There may be many reasons, the first is because it was handed over to the imperial court, and the monks were too late to get it back, and as for the second, it was because the treasure money was not really too much money.
In the seven years of Xuande, bao banknotes were always worth only copper coins

Therefore, the owner of the banknote forgot for a while and said that it was not necessarily, resulting in this Ming Dynasty coin being displayed in front of the world.
