在古代，我們的先人是處于封建的迷信社會，對于神魔鬼怪等傳說十分迷信。為保平安，因此衍生出了各種各樣的辟邪、鎮宅、保佑等寓意的物品，有辟邪劍、鎮紙、擺件、花錢等等。而今天，小編要和大家聊的便是花錢。
花錢，源于漢，興于魏晉，鼎盛在明清。花錢是中國古錢幣的分支，是中國民間自娛自樂的一種玩錢，這種錢幣由于不是流通錢，因此它的材質大都比較粗糙，中國民間把這種錢俗稱為“花錢”。“花錢”雖然具有錢幣的形態，但不作流通使用，是錢幣中的“非正用品”。中國民間花錢的種類繁多，諸如開爐、鎮庫、饋贈、祝福、玩賞、戲作、配飾、生肖等等都要鑄錢，這種“錢”，其實是專供某種需要的辟邪品、吉利品、紀念品。其中“吉語錢”是比較普遍的一類花錢。主要以“長命富貴”、“福德長壽”、“加官進祿”、 “天下太平”等吉語為內容。到了清代鑄行極盛,民間行用甚廣，是清代道士用來施法以降妖震鬼驅邪的載體,也可叫法器。經道士開光后,百姓請回掛于家中鎮宅或隨身攜帶保平安。山鬼,即山神,因未獲天帝正式冊封到正神之列,所以也被稱為山鬼。自古以來,山鬼都是以正義、高大的形象存在。在清代山鬼花錢是流傳最廣的時期,很多人都將其佩戴在帽子、腰帶上,一來其美觀的形象可以作為一種飾品,二來也可以滿足驅鬼辟邪的心理。除此之外,山鬼花錢也多被用在屋角、影壁之類的地方,作為鎮宅之物。而帶有八卦圖案的山鬼花錢,更是其中的上品!山鬼花錢。
正面圖案為十二生肖動物圖案，并配有十二地支文字；背面是八卦紋飾和對應的乾、兌、離、震、巽、坎、艮、坤八個字，此枚花錢視為護身符可保佑平安、快樂。錢幣其字跡清晰明了，鐫刻有勁，制作精美，造型獨特，實為花錢中的精品。
In ancient times, our ancestors were in a feudal superstitious society, and were very superstitious in legends such as gods, demons, and monsters. For the sake of safety, a variety of moral objects such as evil spirits, town houses, blessings, etc. have been derived, including evil spirits swords, paperweights, ornaments, and money. Today, what I want to talk to you about is spending money.
Spending money originated in the Han Dynasty, flourished in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Spending money is a branch of ancient Chinese coins. It is a kind of play money for the Chinese folk to entertain themselves. Since this coin is not circulating money, its material is mostly rough. The Chinese folks call this kind of money "spend money". . Although "spending money" has the form of coins, it is not used for circulation and is an "improper article" in coins. There are many types of Chinese folks who spend money, such as opening furnaces, treasury, gifts, blessings, entertainment, dramas, accessories, zodiac signs, etc. They all have to make money. This kind of "money" is actually dedicated to a certain need for evil spirits. , Auspicious goods, souvenirs. Among them, "Jiyu money" is a relatively common type of spending money. The content is mainly in auspicious words such as "long life and wealth", "good fortune and longevity", "increasing officials to enter the land" and "world peace". In the Qing Dynasty, the casting industry was very prosperous, and it was widely used by the people. It was a vehicle used by Taoists in the Qing Dynasty to cast spells to reduce demons, shake ghosts and drive away evil spirits. After the consecration by the Taoist priests, the people please go back to the town house at home or take it with them for safety. Mountain ghosts, namely mountain gods, were also called mountain ghosts because they were not formally canonized by the Emperor of Heaven. Since ancient times, mountain ghosts have existed in just and tall images. In the Qing Dynasty, when mountain ghosts spent money most widely, many people wore them on hats and belts. On the one hand, their beautiful image can be used as a kind of jewelry, and on the other hand, they can satisfy the psychology of exorcising ghosts and evil spirits. In addition, mountain ghosts spend more money in places such as house corners and shadow walls as town houses. Mountain ghosts with gossip patterns spend money, and they are the top grade!
