Ghost Chongzhen"
The name "Ghost Chongzhen" is very different from other Chongzhen Qianwen. It is also called the "ghost version of Chongzhen". The alternative Qianwen and its shocking The random word "ghost" adds a lot of mystery and gloominess to it, and many people think it is Ming Dynasty's Ming Dynasty money, that is, folk funeral money used for alkali burial. In fact, the "Ghost Chongzhen" money writing style is official script, with strong characteristics of local money making.
It is clearly different from the Chongzhen money minted in other places. The styles are very different. The Japanese Izumi name was given the name "Oni" because of its unique and weird font, which has meanings such as weird and "ghost" to highlight the unique and unique style of this money.
On the other hand, the production rules of "Ghost Chongzhen" are precise, and the sophistication of the characters cannot be compared with that of private castings. Therefore, it is definitely not a private casting of funeral money, but a kind of special and weird font. And it got its name from the place where coins were minted.
Ghost Apocalypse
One theory is that ghost money is said to be used for folk funerals in the Ming Dynasty. It is used for burials. It is equivalent to the current ghost coin, so it is called "ghost". Most of them come from Yongzhou, Hunan. Xiaoping is thick and thick, and his Qianwen and different books are different from Xingyongqian.
Another theory is that due to the weird and unorganized character structure, the Japanese Izumi version was first called the ghost version. Later, it was recognized by the majority of players, so it became a convention to follow what others say.
Ghost Wanli
The writing of Ghost Wanli is rougher and weirder, reflecting an unruly style. However, it should be noted that there is a blessing version of Wanli in Wanli Tongbao that is very similar to the ghost Wanli in terms of writing style. It can be said that most Quan friends cannot see the difference in Qianwen.
It can only be said that the Fu version has an ordinary diameter and is thinner, while the Ghost Wanli version has a smaller diameter and is thicker. There are quite a lot of price differences in the collection market. An ordinary Wanli Tongbao, including the lucky version, costs more than ten yuan a piece, while a ghost Wanli treasure can easily exceed two hundred yuan a piece.
Extended information:
Gui Chongzhen, ghost Tianqi, and ghost Wanli are called the three ghosts of Mingqian. They are the coins used for funerals in the Ming Dynasty, called Ming coins.
In the Ming Dynasty, silver was used as the legal currency of circulation. Generally, silver was used for large quantities and money for small quantities. Silver and copper coins formed the main body of currency. However, in the early Ming Dynasty, banknotes were used instead of money. Later, they were used for both banknotes and money, with paper money being the main currency. What is strange is that only one kind of "Da Ming Bao Chao" banknotes were issued in the Ming Dynasty.
In the Ming Dynasty, one emperor basically minted a type of year-name coin (there were also several generations that did not mint money). There were ten emperors in the country who minted year-name coins. Because the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang's word "Yuan" was taboo, all coins in the Ming Dynasty were collectively called Tongbao, and Yuanbao was taboo.
