[collection introduction]: Mountain ghost money was first cast in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, which was very popular in Qing Dynasty and widely used in folk. It is also called a magic weapon, which was used by Taoists in Qing Dynasty to subdue demons and exorcise ghosts. After being enlightened by Taoists, people should go back to their homes or take them with them to keep them safe. In the Qing Dynasty, mountain ghosts were the most popular. Many people wore them on their hats and belts. On the one hand, their beautiful image could be used as an ornament, and on the other hand, they could satisfy the psychology of exorcism. In addition, the money spent by mountain Devils is mostly used in the corner, shadow wall and other places, as the objects of the town, and the money spent by mountain devils with eight trigrams is the best of them! Mountain devils spend money, mountain devils spend money, which is the carrier used by Taoist priests in Qing Dynasty to subdue demons, shock ghosts and exorcise evil spirits. It can also be called magic weapon. After being enlightened by Taoists, people should go back to their homes or take them with them to keep them safe
山鬼花錢一面是八卦圖，另一面中間豎書二十七字咒語“雷霆雷霆、殺鬼降精、斬妖辟邪、永保神清。奉太上老君急急如律令敕”。左右為四字符文，又作“仙篆”。符文釋為“雷令殺鬼”，左為“雷令”，右為“殺鬼”。有人將此四字釋為三字：“震山鬼”，是誤將“雷令”釋為“震”，“殺鬼”二字釋為“山鬼”。
On the one hand, mountain ghosts spend money on the eight diagrams, and on the other hand, there are 27 characters written in the middle of them: "thunder, thunder, killing ghosts and reducing essence, cutting demons to ward off evil spirits, and protecting the spirit forever.". The emperor was as urgent as a decree. Left and right are four character runes, which are also called "xianzhuan". The rune is interpreted as "thunder order to kill ghosts", with "thunder order" on the left and "killing ghosts" on the right. Some people interpret these four words as three words: "earthquake Mountain Ghost", and mistakenly interpret "Lei Ling" as "earthquake" and "kill ghost" as "Mountain Ghost".
所謂“山鬼”實系“殺鬼”，“鬼”上為“殺”的意符。原意是“鬼”頭上置三枚雷丸，丸生火焰。取意雷擊鬼，生火而殺之意，非是“山”的象形字。還有一說是:”。“山鬼”即一般所說的山神，因為未獲天帝正式冊封在正神之列，故仍稱“山鬼”。此錢因有雷火在上，并有老君咒語，故古人取以避邪。五行缺火之人佩戴可補火。此類錢始鑄于元末明初，清代鑄行極盛，民間行用甚廣。
The so-called "Mountain Ghost" is actually "kill ghost", and "ghost" is the signifier of "kill". The original meaning is that there are three thunder balls on the head of "ghost", and the balls produce fire. It is not the pictograph of "mountain" that means lighting a ghost and making a fire to kill it. There is another way to say it. "Mountain Ghost" is commonly known as the mountain god. It is still called "Mountain Ghost" because it has not been officially canonized by the emperor of heaven. Because of the thunder and fire, and the curse of Laojun, the ancients took this money to avoid evil. Those who lack fire in the five elements can wear it to mend fire. This kind of money was first cast at the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty.
