Chapter 815: The Winter Solstice is as Big as a Year

Having said that, among the various antique stalls that Tang Yun has seen so far, ancient coins can definitely be seen everywhere, and there are very many of them.

But often, the ancient coins on these antique stalls are not of high value, and it is really difficult to find a treasure worth more than 1,000 yuan in them, which is comparable to looking for a needle in a haystack.

......

At this moment, the second antique Jiyu coin that appeared on the stage was a type of ancient coin.

In ancient times, Jiyu coins were only a kind of cultural artwork, and did not have the nature of circulation, but they had the value of collection and appreciation.

Because the people have the habit of placing their wishes and comforting themselves with auspicious signs, auspicious coins are also called "mouth lottery money", and if they are used as gifts, they will be especially pleasing to people.

However, speaking of which, Tang Yun also has some research on ancient coins, and he also knows some about Jiyu coins.

As far as he knows, the amount of Jiyu coins circulating in the world is relatively large, except for a few official minting, most of them are minted by the people, so the value should not be too high.

The ten coins on the stage, if they are really official money as the second treasure holder Qian Xiaoxiao said, then they do have a certain collection value.

As the host introduced on the side, the details of the ten Jiyu coins began to be displayed on the big screen.

Tang Yun and others sitting in the audience also saw it, and saw that on the surface of these ten auspicious words, there were some words that symbolized auspiciousness, such as "The world is peaceful", "The wind and rain are smooth", "The sun rises and the moon is constant", and "Peace and auspiciousness" and so on.

After a brief introduction, the beautiful host Hua Xinyi began to point to the big screen in front of her and said: "Okay, what kind of knowledge quiz questions will these ten auspicious words symbolizing auspiciousness bring to all the audience and friends?"

All the audience at the scene, including experts and treasure holders, all looked in the direction of Hua Xinyi's palms......

Excuse me, what kind of material was generally used to spend money in the Qing Dynasty?

A. Bronze, B. brass, C. fine brass.

Hua Xinyi first read it aloud, then turned her head to look at Qian Xiaoxiao beside her, and said, "Okay, this knowledge quiz question has come out, Miss Qian, so let's start with you, right?"

Qian Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "Uh, I'll choose B, brass." ”

Immediately afterwards, the host Hua Xinyi asked the other two treasure holders Chen Jifeng and Zheng Yunjing for their answers.

In the end, Chen Jifeng and Zheng Yunjing also chose the answer "B. Brass".

Tang Yun nodded slightly, his choice was actually brass.

Because in his opinion, most of the bronze is before the Han Dynasty, and the price of fine brass is obviously more expensive, if it is "general", it is naturally more appropriate to use brass as a general material.

The result soon came out, and the answer was "B. Brass".

Therefore, all three treasure holders answered the knowledge quiz questions correctly.

Subsequently, the beautiful host Hua Xinyi pointed to the other two treasure holders Chen Jifeng and Zheng Yunjing sitting in the audience, and said: "Next, let's invite the two treasure holders to the stage to appreciate these ten auspicious words together." ”

In the applause at the scene, the other two treasure holders, Chen Jifeng and Zheng Yunjing, came to the stage.

Then, during the appreciation of the three treasure holders, the beautiful host Hua Xinyi began to introduce some history and knowledge about spending money in ancient times.

"Spending money in ancient China is an important part of numismatic culture, although this kind of money can not be used as a circulating currency, mainly used as a gift, fun and birthday celebrations, etc., but it plays a role in warding off evil spirits and praying for blessings, so that people like it very much. There are many types of money to spend, but the 'long heaven' used to worship the heavens is a very important one. ”

Tang Yun listened very carefully.

Because he not only likes antiques, but also likes historical knowledge, but the Changtian Festival is the previous Winter Solstice Festival, which is the first time he has heard of it, and he feels quite interesting.

Speaking of which, in ancient China, we attached great importance to the winter solstice solar terms, and there was once a saying that "the winter solstice is as big as the year".

In the Book of Han, it is said that "the winter solstice yang qi rises, the king is present, so he congratulates", therefore, the winter solstice festival also began from the period of the Han Dynasty, and on the day of the winter solstice, the ceremony of worshiping the sky and ancestors was held from the Tang Dynasty, and this custom continued until the Qing Dynasty, so there was money spent on worshipping the sky.

The texture of the money is mostly cast in copper, but there are also a few made of gold, silver, and aluminum and other metals, they are dignified and beautiful regardless of the size of the money, the pattern and the face pattern are harmonious and unified, reflecting the good wishes of the ancients and the pursuit of peace in the years, from the form to the charm have a strong folk nature and primitiveness, is the epitome of folk customs and folk customs of all generations.

Winter Solstice Festival......

Tang Yun groaned slightly, it is now October, and there are still about two months before this year's Winter Solstice Festival.

For the ancient "winter solstice is as big as the year", Tang Yun also agrees, at least in his opinion, the winter solstice festival gives people the feeling, in fact, and the New Year is somewhat similar, although there is still a short period of time before the New Year, but it gives people a faint and warm New Year's flavor.

When he was a child, Tang Yun remembered that every time on the day of the Winter Solstice Festival, Grandpa Tang would make glutinous rice balls for him to eat.

Put the glutinous rice dough into a bowl filled with brown sugar and put it in your mouth to symbolize another year of growth.

For a while, Tang Yun's thoughts were a little distant, now he has a very different life from his previous life, his family and friends are together, and his career is thriving, his personal net worth is also growing all the way, and everything is developing in a good direction......

It wasn't until the host's pleasant words sounded that Tang Yun was gradually pulled back from his thoughts.

"Okay, let's take a look at the facial features of this set of ten silver gilt sacrifice days......"

Tang Yun slowly raised his head and looked at the big screen with the audience.

The second treasure holder Qian Xiaoxiao's ten pieces of money, each of which is almost nearly six centimeters in diameter, is made of silver, partially gilded, the front is "the world is peaceful", "the sun rises and the moon is constant" and "the wind and rain are smooth", etc., and the back is written with the word "Changtian", which is very well preserved.

Judging from the various characteristics of these ten coins, they are bound to be much more precious than ordinary Jiyu coins, and Tang Yun does not know much about the value of this kind of money, so it is not easy to evaluate this.

Immediately afterwards, a knowledge quiz question appeared on the big screen again, and it was related to the Winter Solstice Festival.
