钱币与香炉：精品推荐一览

古代的铜钱是一种辅币，一千个为一贯。在铸造时为了方便细加工，常将铜钱穿在一根棒上，为了在加工铜钱时铜钱不乱转，所以将铜钱当中开成方孔。后来人们就称钱为“孔方兄”，有时候寓指拜金主义。

古代使用铜钱不论大小，当中都有一个四方形孔眼，为什么有方孔？难道仅仅为了串钱方便吗？不是。铜钱方孔，主要是由于当时制造铜钱的方法决定的。

开始是熔铜铸钱，为此铜钱的轮廓总不整齐。为了使铜钱的周边齐整，必须用锉刀修锉。但是一枚一枚铜钱修锉是很费工的，所以就在铜钱当中开一个孔，将一百来个铜钱穿在一根棍上，一次搓成。

但是如果当中的孔是圆的，铜钱就会来回转动不好锉。因此工匠们就把当中空做成方形，穿进一个方棍修锉，这样铜钱就不会转动了，这就是古代方孔铜钱来历。

另外有一说铜钱做成四方形孔眼是基于古代人天圆地方的理念。

正面钱币外圆内方，古人认为天是圆的地是方的，所以用上好的玉制作成玉璧用来祭天，后期发展成流通货币，可以用玉璧来购买物品，古钱币也正是由此而来，最早的古币是外圆内圆与玉璧无异，后期由于打磨容易发生转动，为了更高效的制作钱币，就发展出外圆内方的钱币，也方便固定，大大提高了制作效率，古钱币就由此而来，所以古钱币不只是一种流通货币，更是一种可以用来辟邪去恶的法器，道教就有用乾隆通宝制作的金钱剑，用来做法驱邪，圆为乾方为坤，乾坤之间四字直读，表面部分产生包浆，古韵十足，开门见老师不可多得的收藏级钱币。

这几枚钱币包浆自然，底光柔和，所谓包浆是自然形成的氧化层，也有人为手盘包浆，两者不同，但同时都有保护钱币的功能，有如给钱币镀上一层保护膜，使钱币不再氧化，便于收藏传世，如果觉得钱币脏，可以用清水洗，再用棉布擦干，不要破坏包浆，破坏了包浆就相当于破坏了保护层，更重要的是包浆是鉴定新老钱币最简单有效的方法。细看这几枚钱币品相完美，没有磕缺，损毁，变形等是不可多得的收藏级钱币，建议收藏，传世。

为了制作出精品的铜炉，在朱瞻基的亲自督促下，整个制作过程，包括炼铜、造型必须自《宣和博古图》《考古图》等典籍及内府密藏的数百件宋元名窑中，精选出符合适用对象、款制大雅的形制，将之绘成图样，再呈给其亲览，并说明图款的来源和典故的出处，经过筛选确定后，再铸成实物样品让其过目，满意后方准开铸。

At first, it was made of molten copper, for which the outline of the copper money was always irregular. To make the copper coins neat around the edges, a file must be used. But it took a lot of work to file the copper coins one by one, so they cut a hole in the copper coins, and rubbed a hundred or so coins through a stick at a time.

But if the hole in the middle is round, the copper will turn the file back and forth. Therefore, the craftsmen made the hollow into a square and put it through a square stick to repair the file, so that the copper money would not move. This is the origin of the ancient square hole copper money.

In addition, it is said that the square holes made of copper coins are based on ancient people's concept of a round sky and a round earth.

Look closely at these coins with perfect appearance, no damage, damage, deformation and so on, which are rare collection level coins. It is suggested to collect and pass down.
