Six springs and ten cloths, namely "Yaoquan, Youquan, Zhongquan, Zhuangquan, Xiaobu, Yaobu, Youbu, Xubu, Chabu, Zhongbu, Zhuangbu, Dibu and Subu", are "famous products" in ancient money and have always been cherished by the spring family. In the second year of Xin Mang's founding (A.D. 10), six springs and ten cloths were cast and abolished in the first year of Tianfeng (A.D. 14), which lasted about five years. Because these coins are inconvenient to use, the government recycled and destroyed them in large quantities after stopping circulation, and minted new coins. There is very little money left by Huoquan, so it is included in the list of rare ancient coins.
In Four Treasures of the Study handed down from ancient times, "Zhongquan 30" coins have different sizes, and there are two formats: round, square and middle. In the past, it was rare to find money in the form of "square" and "middle", and there was no map of each money spectrum. In recent years, after finding some real money, we found the figurines of Yang Wentao with the words "Fang" and "Zhong" at the site of Guanzhong Zhu Qian in Huxian County, Shaanxi Province. This great discovery vindicated the fact that "Zhongquan 30" was named after "Fang" and "Zhong", which solved the problem of casting land and solved a big mystery for the spring world.
Ten dollars come in different sizes, and there are two formats: middle vertical and not vertical. Zhongzong doesn't have enough money, and all its money types have been found in the area of Anhaoren Temple in Xi, which proves that it is a casting place and it is easy to collect a set. In the past, money rarely went through the layout, and the location of casting was unknown. In recent years, in the Zhu Qian site of Guanzhong in Huxian County, Shaanxi Province, Fan Tao's mother's Nine Hundred Cloth and Guanzhong Zhu Qian's back model have been found, and Fan Tao's inscription "Guan Zhong's former official was built in March of the second year of the founding of the People's Republic of China" has been found. This great discovery provides us with a casting ground for the passage of middle and vertical money, and also proves that the passage of middle and vertical money is cast by "Guan Zhong Qian Guan", but it is very rare.
According to the experience of many collectors, "six springs and ten cloths" is the most ideal one with "mercury ancient" rust. As a "mercury antique", there are black, green or brown rust-colored bronze mirror-like metal reflections. This kind of coin is small in quantity and expensive, so fans should make good use of it.
