Introduction to Xianyou Bao Tong

It was cast in the period of Yelu Hongji of Liao Daozong (1065— 1074). Copper is red and soft, and it is simple to make. The four characters of Xianyou are read in cycles, with a well-balanced layout and a strong charm of Liao, money and charm. There are two versions: normal version and large print version. The size of the ordinary version is different from that of the sample, with a diameter of 2.4 ~ 2.7 cm and a weight of 2.7 ~ 3.6 g, with a bare back and no text. County money is the most abundant in Liao, and it is not difficult to get it. In the old spectrum, it seems suspicious to say that money is "folded in half" and "folded in three": "folded in half" may be like Xiaoping; The authenticity of the "three times" huge sum may need further testing. There are few large printing plates, and there are few today. At present, only Mr. Li Guiqiang, a member of China Book Association, a famous calligrapher and a coin collector, has a copy in his possession.
