The two Buddha statues cast on the back of Chunhua Yuanbao are supported by the lotus throne and Xiangyun. Lotus is a symbol of Buddhism, which shows that this kind of gold coin has a certain relationship with Buddhist activities at that time. Buddhism was introduced into China in the Eastern Han Dynasty and reached its peak in the Tang Dynasty. However, due to the five dynasties' local separatist regime, Buddhism was devastated. In the early years of the Song Dynasty, the Song regime gave appropriate protection to Buddhism, stopped destroying monasteries, and sent people to India to seek dharma, so that Buddhism was restored. This batch of Buddhist money unearthed in Wutai Mountain was specially cast by Song Taizong when he visited Wutai Mountain during Chunhua period, which fully showed that the Song regime attached importance to Buddhism.
