Zhao Guangyi, Song Taizong
Regular script is vigorous and dignified. "Chunhua Yuanbao" money
"Chunhua Yuanbao" is the second edition of currency minted by Song Taizong and Zhao Guangyi. This set of money consists of three parts. Qian Wen was written by Emperor Taizong in regular script, running script and cursive script. Regular script is vigorous and dignified, running script is meaningful and lingering, and cursive script is unrestrained and smooth. "Chunhua Yuanbao" set two firsts in the history of coins in China: the first "Imperial Book Money" and the first "Exchange Paper Money".
Imperial Book Money was written by Emperor Qian Wen himself; "Dui Wen Qian" refers to the money in the same year, which is exactly the same in size, weight, shape and content, but different in calligraphy. In addition, from the past dynasties to the Republic of China, "taking the title as the text" has become a practice.
2. Song Renzong Zhao Zhen
Ten-fold printing of "Emperor Bao Tong of Song Dynasty" was originally a popular "national official seal" font in Song Dynasty, which was mainly used for seal cutting, and the strokes were folded and bent, even and symmetrical. The number of folds of each word depends on the complexity of strokes, including five folds, six folds, seven folds, eight folds, nine folds and ten folds. It is called "Nine Stacks" because "Nine is the tail with many words". Qian Wen used nine stacks of seal script, and "Song" took money as the first and last example.
Bao Tong is one of the ancient Chinese coins. Zhao Zhen, Renzong in the Northern Song Dynasty, was cast from the second year of Baoyuan to the last year of Huang You (1039 ~ 1053). Qian Wen has seal script, regular script is money, bare back. There are Xiaoping and discount, as well as iron money. There are nine other seals in the seal script, which are extremely rare and are a great treasure of Gu Quan.
Among the numerous versions of Bao Tong coins in Huang Song Dynasty, one commonly known as "Huang Song Jiu Yin" is particularly precious. Ten-fold printing is also called printing, which was not available in Qin and Han Dynasties. It has been used in official seals since the Tang and Song Dynasties. The ten-fold seal script is based on Xiao seal script. The strokes are repeatedly folded, circled and folded, and the vertical and horizontal directions are stippled to fill the blank parts and achieve unity.
"Smooth and full" is the biggest feature of the ten-fold seal script method. The number of folds, the number of folds of each word, depends on the complexity of the strokes, including 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% and 10%. Call it a 10% discount, "Nine has a number of tails and many words", and describe how many discounts it has.
Ten-fold seal script prevailed in Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties, and has continued to this day. When this "Nine Reprints" was used in Qian Wen, among thousands of ancient coins, "Song Emperor Bao Tong" was only an isolated case, so it was regarded as a rare treasure by collectors in past dynasties. As for the casting background of Huang, Song and Jiu reprints, numerologists generally think that this coin is "sample money" or "furnace money" and should not be a real currency.
3. Su Shi
According to legend, Su Shi, a great writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, wrote "Yuanfeng Bao Tong" and "Yuan You Bao Tong" Qian Wen. Bold and bold, with a strong and elegant posture, the Song Dynasty was the heyday of China's economy, culture and technology. Famous calligraphers and writers gathered. Even Song Taizong and Song Huizong were famous calligraphers of the emperor. So many coins in the Song Dynasty were written by the emperor and some famous calligraphers and writers at that time. It is not surprising that Su Dongpo was able to carve coins in the Song Dynasty. Mr. Ye Shichang, a Shanghai numismatist, thinks that Su Dongpo's theory of "Yuanfeng Bao Tong" is extremely unrealistic, and he can only write "Yuan You Bao Tong" but not "Yuanfeng Bao Tong".
4. Evonne, Song Huizong
Thin gold "Daguan Bao Tong" money. The pen is sharp and vigorous, with a little pen, and it has gained a lot. It is graceful, tall and straight, free and easy, eclectic, vigorous and powerful, and is known as the "iron painting silver hook".
The Grand View of Currency in the Northern Song Dynasty is a treasure house, written by Hui Zong of Qian Wen. Song dynasty is different from dynasty. Every time you change the number of a year, you start casting new coins. If the year number and Bowen are important, you will invest in money other than the year number. In the past hundred years in Song San, the main way is to fold two coins into small squares. During this period, a large amount of money also circulated, and the outline and size of coins also had certain standards. Therefore, there were many versions of money in the Song Dynasty, which were rare in previous dynasties. In addition to original works, cursive script, official script and seal script, Qian Wen also has the "Jade and Silver Hook" of Huizong in the Northern Song Dynasty.
