The Five Emperors’ Money can be divided into the Big Five Emperors’ Money and the Little Five Emperors’ Money. The Big Five Emperors’ Money refers to the half-liang coins of the Qin Dynasty, the five-baht coins of the Han Dynasty, the Kaiyuan Tongbao of the Tang Dynasty, the Song-Yuan Tongbao of the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. The material of the Yongle Tongbao and the Five Emperors coins of the dynasty is bronze. Although it is a long time ago, there are many in existence.
The Five Emperors' coins now often refer to the Small Five Emperors' coins, including Shunzhi Tongbao, Kangxi Tongbao, Yongzheng Tongbao, Qianlong Tongbao and Jiaqing Tongbao. The material is brass and is relatively recent to this era. Due to historical reasons, Shunzhi Tongbao Tongbao and Yongzheng Tongbao are rare in existence. Ancient Chinese people have always had the custom of using ancient coins to ward off evil spirits. According to historical records, square-hole Tongbao coins, regardless of size, were hung around the neck with a red thread. The copper coins passed through the hands of thousands of people and gathered the yang energy of hundreds of families to ward off evil spirits.
But when used in Feng Shui, Feng Shui masters use the Small Five Emperors instead of the Big Five Emperors, because emperors from different dynasties are difficult to live in peace and easily fight, resulting in disharmony. However, copper coins are round on the outside and square on the inside. The shape of the circle and the earth, the emperor's name in the middle represents the human being, just meets the three talents of heaven, earth and man, but the half liang and five baht are not the emperor's name and do not satisfy the three talents of heaven, earth and man.
Five Emperors' money has the functions of blocking evil spirits, guarding against villains, avoiding evil spirits, increasing wealth, and praying for blessings. Since ancient times, Chinese people have had the custom of wearing coins to ward off evil spirits, protect against villains, ward off evil spirits, increase wealth, and pray for blessings. The Five Emperors' coins are coins minted by the five most prosperous emperors in the Chinese nation. Therefore, the Five Emperors' coins gather more of the energy of heaven, earth, and people plus the wealth of hundreds of families. Therefore, they can control the house, eliminate evil spirits, and have the power of prosperity. The wealth function can also strengthen the owner's self-confidence and resolve the defect of having no owner.
The Five Emperors' Money is a spiritual weapon and a dharma object. It combines the power of the emperor and the god of the nation. In ancient times, people believed in the idea of ??divine right of kings, believing that the power of the emperor was granted by heaven, and that only the emperor was the incarnation of the god who communicated with heaven and earth. The Five Emperors' Money embodies this kind of imperial domineering and Chinese spirit, and has achieved great success. The Five Emperors of the Qing Dynasty created a century of prosperity for the Qing Dynasty. The First Emperor of Qin unified China, created a great cause for eternity, and made contributions to all generations. He can be said to be "one emperor through the ages." The "Kaiyuan Tongbao" from the beginning of the dynasty?[4]?. Taizu of the Song Dynasty established the Song Dynasty, which was the most economically and culturally prosperous in ancient Chinese history; Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty personally conquered Mongolia five times, ushering in the era of "the emperor guarding the country". Culturally, he compiled the world's earliest encyclopedia "Yongle Dadian", and commercially Zheng He launched an unprecedented scale of voyages to the West, and Ming Yongle Tongbao became the hard currency of international/regional trade at that time. Spreading the majesty and momentum of the emperor far away at home and abroad shows how powerful his imperial power and national momentum are. As the ancient coins they cast are spiritual objects with imperial power left to future generations, the real Five Emperors coins are both precious and rare.
Five Emperors' money has all the functions of ancient money, such as avoiding disasters, blessing, praying for blessings, etc. But compared with ordinary ancient coins, whether they are the Great Five Emperors' coins or the Small Five Emperors' coins, they gather more of the aura of the Chinese land, the aura of the Chinese nation, the aura of the destined emperor, and the aura of hundreds of inherited schools.
There are two sources of ancient coins: one is handed down from ancient times. The closer the ancient coins are to the present, the more they are handed down, and the older they are, the rarer they are. The other is unearthed. Many people think that ancient coins are unearthed from tombs, but this is not the case. Only a very small part comes from burials. There are two reasons: there were no banks in ancient times, and the way people stored coins was to put them in containers and bury them underground or in other private places. Especially during times of war and famine, when the war was raging and people fled, the coins were buried because they were inconvenient to carry. In ancient China, there was little custom of using coins as burial objects. Emperors of all dynasties did not allow the custom of using coins as burial objects. So far, we can see from the tombs that have been discovered that most of the burial objects in ancient Chinese tombs are gold and silver, jewelry, porcelain, jade, textiles, etc., but there are very few ancient coins.
