Their use was revitalized during the <a href="/wiki/Republic_of_China_(1912%E2%80%931949)" title="Republic of China (1912–1949)">Republic of China</a> era. Normally, these coins are privately funded and cast by a rich family for their own ceremonies, although a few types of coins have been cast by various governments or religious orders over the centuries.

Unlike cash coins which usually only contain two or four <a href="/wiki/Chinese_characters" title="Chinese characters">Hanzi</a> characters on one side, Chinese numismatic charms often contain more characters and sometimes pictures on the same side. Although Chinese numismatic charms are not a legal form of currency, they used to circulate on the Chinese <a href="/wiki/Market_(economics)" title="Market (economics)">market</a> alongside regular government-issued coinages. The charms were considered valuable, as they were often made from copper alloys and Chinese coins were valued by their weight in bronze or brass.

Yansheng coins are also known as "flower coins" or "patterned coins" (traditional Chinese: 花錢; simplified Chinese: 花钱; pinyin: huā qián).

Other forms of notation came to be included, such as circles representing the sun, crescents representing the moon, and dots representing the stars, as well as blobs and lines. These symbols sometimes protruded from the surface of the coin (Chinese: 阳文; Pinyin: yáng wén) and sometimes they were carved, engraved or stamped (Chinese: 阴文; Pinyin: yīn wén). These symbols would eventually evolve into Chinese charms with coins originally being used as charms. Dots were the first and most common form of symbol that appeared on ancient Chinese cash coins, such as the <a href="/wiki/Ban_Liang" title="Ban Liang">Ban Liang</a> coins, and appeared mostly during the <a href="/wiki/Han_dynasty" title="Han dynasty">Han dynasty</a>. These symbols were usually on the obverse side of the coins and were probably carved as a part of the mold, meaning that they were intentionally added. Crescent symbols on both the obverse and reverse sides of coins were added around the same period as the dots. After this, both regular <a href="/wiki/Chinese_numerals" title="Chinese numerals">Chinese numerals</a> and <a href="/wiki/Counting_rod_numerals" class="mw-redirect" title="Counting rod numerals">counting rod numerals</a> began to appear on cash coins during the beginning of the <a href="/wiki/Eastern_Han_dynasty" class="mw-redirect" title="Eastern Han dynasty">Eastern Han dynasty</a>. Chinese characters began to appear on these early cash coins which could mean they were intended to circulate in certain regions or might indicate the names of those who cast the coins. Coins made under Emperor <a href="/wiki/Wang_Mang" title="Wang Mang">Wang Mang</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Xin_dynasty" title="Xin dynasty">Xin dynasty</a> had a distinctive appearance from coinage of the Han dynasty era, and were later used as the basis of many Chinese amulets and charms.<a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a><a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a> Ancient Chinese texts refer to the Hanzi character for "star" (星) to not exclusively refer to the stars that are visible at night but to also have an additional meaning of "to spread" and "to disseminate" (布, bù). Other old Chinese sources stated that the character for "star" was synonymous with the term for "to give out" and "to distribute" (散, sàn). Based on these associations and the links between coinage and power, an understanding formed that cash coins should be akin to the star-filled night sky: widespread in circulation, numerous in quantity, and distributed throughout the world. Another hypothesis on why star, moon, cloud and dragon symbols appeared on Chinese cash coins is that they represent <a href="/wiki/Yin_and_yang" title="Yin and yang">yin and yang</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Wuxing_(Chinese_philosophy)" title="Wuxing (Chinese philosophy)">wu xing</a> – a fundamental belief of the time – and specifically the element of <a href="/wiki/Water_(Wu_Xing)" class="mw-redirect" title="Water (Wu Xing)">water</a> (水). The Hanzi character for a "<a href="/wiki/Spring_(hydrology)" title="Spring (hydrology)">water spring</a>" (泉) also meant "coin" in ancient China. In Chinese mythology, the moon was an envoy or messenger from the heavens and water was cold air of yin energy that was accumulated on the moon. The moon was the spirit in charge of water in Chinese mythology, and the crescent symbols on cash coins could indicate that they were meant to circulate like water, which flows, gushes, and rises. The symbolism of "clouds" or "auspicious clouds" may refer to the fact that clouds cause rain; the <a href="/wiki/I_Ching" title="I Ching">I Ching</a> mentions that water appears in the heavens as clouds, again bringing the implication that cash coins should circulate freely. The appearance of wiggly-lines that represent Chinese dragons happened around this time and may have also been based on the wu xing element of water, as dragons were thought to be water animals that were the bringers of both the winds and the rain; the dragons represented the nation, with freely flowing currency. In later Chinese charms, amulets, and talismans, the dragon became a symbol of the <a href="/wiki/Emperor_of_China" title="Emperor of China">Chinese emperor</a> and the central government of China and its power.<a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a><a href="#cite_note-12">[12]</a><a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a><a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Later_developments">Later developments</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Chinese_numismatic_charm&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Later developments">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Lei_Ting_curse_charms,_Delft_(2018).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="Three cash coins hanging from strings of wind chimes at a storefront" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/ce/Lei_Ting_curse_charms%2C_Delft_%282018%29.jpg/220px-Lei_Ting_curse_charms%2C_Delft_%282018%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="124" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/ce/Lei_Ting_curse_charms%2C_Delft_%282018%29.jpg/330px-Lei_Ting_curse_charms%2C_Delft_%282018%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/ce/Lei_Ting_curse_charms%2C_Delft_%282018%29.jpg/440px-Lei_Ting_curse_charms%2C_Delft_%282018%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="4160" data-file-height="2336" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Lei_Ting_curse_charms" class="mw-redirect" title="Lei Ting curse charms">Lei Ting curse charms</a> in <a href="/wiki/Delft" title="Delft">Delft</a>, <a href="/wiki/The_Netherlands" class="mw-redirect" title="The Netherlands">the Netherlands</a>; these amulets are shaped like ordinary cash coins but contain examples of Taoist symbolism and imagery.</figcaption></figure> Most Chinese numismatic charms produced from the start of the Han dynasty until the end of the <a href="/wiki/Northern_and_Southern_dynasties" title="Northern and Southern dynasties">Northern and Southern dynasties</a> (206 BCE – 589 CE) were very similar in appearance to the Chinese cash coins that were in circulation. The only differentiating factor that Chinese talismans had at the time were the symbols on the reverse of these coins. These symbols included tortoises, snakes, double-edged swords, the sun, the moon, stars, depictions of famous people and the twelve Chinese zodiacs. The major development and evolution of Chinese numismatic talismans happened during the period that started from the <a href="/wiki/Six_Dynasties" title="Six Dynasties">Six Dynasties</a> and lasted until the <a href="/wiki/Mongol_empire" class="mw-redirect" title="Mongol empire">Mongol</a> <a href="/wiki/Yuan_dynasty" title="Yuan dynasty">Yuan dynasty</a>. It was during this era that Chinese numismatic charms began using inscriptions that wished for "longevity" and "happiness", and these charms and amulets became extremely common in Chinese society. Taoist and Buddhist amulets also began to appear during this period, as did marriage coin charms with "<a href="/wiki/Kama_Sutra" title="Kama Sutra">Kama Sutra</a>-like" imagery. Chinese numismatic charms also began to be made from iron, lead, tin, silver, gold, <a href="/wiki/Porcelain" title="Porcelain">porcelain</a>, <a href="/wiki/Jade" title="Jade">jade</a>, and paper. These charms also featured new scripts and fonts such as <a href="/wiki/Regular_script" title="Regular script">regular script</a>, <a href="/wiki/Grass_script" class="mw-redirect" title="Grass script">grass script</a>, <a href="/wiki/Seal_script" title="Seal script">seal script</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Fulu" title="Fulu">Fulu</a> (Taoist "magic writing" script).

The open-work charms from this era were used as clothing accessories, adornment, or to decorate horses. The very common charm inscription cháng mìng fù guì (長命富貴) was introduced during the Tang and Song dynasties, when the reverse side of these talismans started showing Taoist imagery such as yin-yang symbols, the eight trigrams, and the Chinese zodiacs. During the Song dynasty, a large number of Chinese talismans were cast, especially <a href="/wiki/Horse_coin" title="Horse coin">horse coins</a> which were used as gambling tokens and board game pieces. Fish charms meant to be worn around the waist were introduced during the reign of the Khitan Liao. Other new types emerged during the Jurchen Jin dynasty, with the influence of the steppe culture and arts of the <a href="/wiki/Jurchen_people" title="Jurchen people">Jurchen people</a>. The Jin dynasty merged the Jurchen culture with Chinese administration, and the charms of the Jin dynasty innovated on the talismans of the Song dynasty which used hidden symbolism, allusions, implied suggestions, and phonetic homonyms to describe a meaning. Under the Jurchens, new symbolisms emerged: a dragon representing the emperor, a phoenix representing the empress, tigers representing ministers, lions representing the government as a whole, and cranes and pine trees that symbolized longevity. Hidden symbolism such as <a href="/wiki/Jujube" title="Jujube">jujube</a> fruits for "morning or early" and chickens symbolizing "being lucky" also emerged under the Jurchens. Under the <a href="/wiki/Ming_dynasty" title="Ming dynasty">Ming</a> and Manchu <a href="/wiki/Qing_dynasty" title="Qing dynasty">Qing dynasties</a>, there was increased manufacture of amulets with inscriptions that wish for good luck and those that celebrate events. These numismatic talismans depict what is called the "three many": happiness, longevity, and having many progeny. Other common wishes included those for wealth and receiving a high rank from the imperial examination system. During this period, more Chinese numismatic talismans began using implied and hidden meanings with <a href="/wiki/Visual_pun" title="Visual pun">visual puns</a>.

They were also thought to bring good fortune, longevity, and high results in the imperial exams, and were often tied around the necks of children by Buddhist or Taoist priests. Chinese lock charms are flat and without moving parts, with a form that resembles the Hanzi character "凹", which can translate to "concave". All Chinese lock charms have Chinese characters on them. An example of a Chinese lock charm is the "hundred family lock" (Traditional Chinese: 百家鎖), traditionally funded by a poor family asking a hundred other families to each gift a cash coin as a gesture of goodwill for their newborn child, vesting an interest in the child's security. Many Chinese lock charms are used to wish for stability. Other designs of lock charms include religious mountains, the Bagua, and Yin Yang symbol.<a href="#cite_note-107">[105]</a><a href="#cite_note-108">[106]</a><a href="#cite_note-109">[107]</a><a href="#cite_note-110">[108]</a><a href="#cite_note-111">[109]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Nine-Fold_Seal_Script_charms">Nine-Fold Seal Script charms</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Chinese_numismatic_charm&action=edit&section=23" title="Edit section: Nine-Fold Seal Script charms">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Benming_Yuanshen_(%E6%9C%AC%E5%91%BD%E5%85%83%E7%A5%9E)_-_Nine-Fold_Seal_Script_Charm_(%E4%B9%9D%E7%96%8A%E6%96%87%E9%8C%A2)_-_Jibi.net_-_Obverse_%26_Reverse.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9b/Benming_Yuanshen_%28%E6%9C%AC%E5%91%BD%E5%85%83%E7%A5%9E%29_-_Nine-Fold_Seal_Script_Charm_%28%E4%B9%9D%E7%96%8A%E6%96%87%E9%8C%A2%29_-_Jibi.net_-_Obverse_%26_Reverse.jpg/220px-Benming_Yuanshen_%28%E6%9C%AC%E5%91%BD%E5%85%83%E7%A5%9E%29_-_Nine-Fold_Seal_Script_Charm_%28%E4%B9%9D%E7%96%8A%E6%96%87%E9%8C%A2%29_-_Jibi.net_-_Obverse_%26_Reverse.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="115" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9b/Benming_Yuanshen_%28%E6%9C%AC%E5%91%BD%E5%85%83%E7%A5%9E%29_-_Nine-Fold_Seal_Script_Charm_%28%E4%B9%9D%E7%96%8A%E6%96%87%E9%8C%A2%29_-_Jibi.net_-_Obverse_%26_Reverse.jpg 1.5x" data-file-width="320" data-file-height="167" /></a><figcaption>A Nine-Fold Seal Script charms with the inscription Benming Yuanshen (本命元神).</figcaption></figure> Nine-Fold Seal Script charms (<a href="/wiki/Traditional_Chinese" class="mw-redirect" title="Traditional Chinese">Traditional Chinese</a>: 九疊文錢; <a href="/wiki/Simplified_Chinese" class="mw-redirect" title="Simplified Chinese">Simplified Chinese</a>: 九叠文钱; <a href="/wiki/Pinyin" title="Pinyin">Pinyin</a>: jiǔ dié wén qián) are Chinese numismatic charms with inscriptions in <a href="/wiki/Nine-fold_seal_script" title="Nine-fold seal script">nine-fold seal script</a>, a style of <a href="/wiki/Seal_script" title="Seal script">seal script</a> that was in use from the Song dynasty until the Qing dynasty.

Fish, lock, spade, and peach charms were worn on a daily basis, with fish and lock charms worn mainly by young children and infants. Other charms were exclusively used for specific rituals or holidays. Some Han dynasty era charms contained inscriptions such as ri ru qian jin (日入千金, "may you earn a 1,000 gold everyday"), chu xiong qu yang (除凶去央, "do away with evil and dispel calamity"), bi bing mo dang (辟兵莫當, "avoid hostilities and ward off sickness"), or chang wu xiang wang (長毋相忘, "do not forget your friends"). Others resembled contemporary cash coins with added dots and stars. Some pendant charms had a single loop while most others also had either a square or round hole in the centre. Some Chinese pendant charms contain the Hanzi character gua (挂, "to hang"), though their form makes their purpose obvious. Although most pendant charms contain pictorial illustrations, the association of Chinese characters into new and mystical symbolic forms reached an even greater extreme when Taoists introduced "Taoist magic writing" (符文).<a href="#cite_note-loopcharms-15">[15]</a><a href="#cite_note-monetiformes-16">[16]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Chinese_palindrome_charms">Chinese palindrome charms</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Chinese_numismatic_charm&action=edit&section=28" title="Edit section: Chinese palindrome charms">edit</a>]</div> Chinese palindrome charms are very rare Chinese numismatic charms that depict what in China is known as "palindromic poetry" (回文詩), a form which has to make sense when reading in either direction but may not be a true <a href="/wiki/Palindrome" title="Palindrome">palindrome</a>.<a href="#cite_note-135">[133]</a><a href="#cite_note-136">[134]</a> Because of their rarity, Chinese palindrome charms are usually excluded from reference books on Chinese numismatic charms.

Various legends from China dating to the <a href="/wiki/Three_Kingdoms_period" class="mw-redirect" title="Three Kingdoms period">Three Kingdoms period</a> mention a tree that if shaken would cause coins to fall from its branches. Money trees as a charm have been found in <a href="/wiki/Southwest_China" class="mw-redirect" title="Southwest China">Southwest Chinese</a> tombs from the Han dynasty, and are believed to have been placed there to help guide the dead to the afterlife and provide them with monetary support. According to one myth, a farmer watered the money tree seed with his sweat and watered its sapling with his blood, after which the mature tree provided eternal wealth; this implies a moral that one can only become wealthy through their own toil. Literary sources claim that the origin of the money tree lies with the Chinese word for "copper" (銅, tóng) which is pronounced similar to the word for "the <a href="/wiki/Paulownia" title="Paulownia">Paulownia</a> tree" (桐, tóng). The leaves of the Paulownia become yellow in autumn and take on the appearance of gold or bronze cash coins. <a href="/wiki/Chen_Shou" title="Chen Shou">Chen Shou</a> (陳壽) mentions in the <a href="/wiki/Records_of_the_Three_Kingdoms" title="Records of the Three Kingdoms">Records of the Three Kingdoms</a> that a man named Bing Yuan (邴原) walked upon a string of cash coins while strolling and, unable to discover the owner, hung it in a nearby tree; other passersby noticed this string and began hanging coins in the tree with the assumption that it was a holy tree and made wishes for wealth and luck. The earliest money trees, however, date to the Han dynasty in present-day <a href="/wiki/Sichuan" title="Sichuan">Sichuan</a> and a Taoist religious order named the <a href="/wiki/Way_of_the_Five_Pecks_of_Rice" title="Way of the Five Pecks of Rice">Way of the Five Pecks of Rice</a>. Archeoloigsts uncovered money trees as tall as 1.98 metres (6 ft 6 in), decorated with many strings of cash coins, little bronze dogs, bats, Chinese deities, elephants, deer, phoenixes, and dragons, with a bronze frame and a base of pottery. Both the inscriptions and calligraphy found on Chinese money trees match those of contemporary Chinese cash coins, which typically featured replicas of Wu Zhu (五銖) coins during the Han dynasty while those from the Three Kingdoms period had inscriptions such as "Liang Zhu" (兩銖).<a href="#cite_note-160">[157]</a><a href="#cite_note-161">[158]</a><a href="#cite_note-162">[159]</a><a href="#cite_note-163">[160]</a><a href="#cite_note-autogenerated1-164">[161]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="By_theme">By theme</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Chinese_numismatic_charm&action=edit&section=32" title="Edit section: By theme">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Chinese_astronomy_coins">Chinese astronomy coins</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Chinese_numismatic_charm&action=edit&section=33" title="Edit section: Chinese astronomy coins">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/Chinese_astronomy" title="Chinese astronomy">Chinese astronomy</a></div> Chinese astronomy coins (<a href="/wiki/Traditional_Chinese" class="mw-redirect" title="Traditional Chinese">Traditional Chinese</a>: 天象錢; <a href="/wiki/Simplified_Chinese" class="mw-redirect" title="Simplified Chinese">Simplified Chinese</a>: 天象钱; <a href="/wiki/Pinyin" title="Pinyin">Pinyin</a>: tiān xiàng qián) are charms that depict star constellations, individual stars, and other astronomical objects from ancient <a href="/wiki/Chinese_astronomy" title="Chinese astronomy">Chinese astronomy</a>.

Since ancient times, the Chinese had attributed magical powers and influence to Hanzi characters. They believed that certain characters could impact spirits, which were in turn believed to be responsible for good and ill fortune. The <a href="/wiki/Huainanzi" title="Huainanzi">Huainanzi</a> describes spirits as horror-stricken at being commanded by the magical powers of the Hanzi characters used for amulets and charms. Many early Han dynasty talismans were worn as pendants containing inscriptions requesting that people who were deified in the Taoist religion to lend them protection. Some Taoist charms contain inscriptions based on Taoist "magic writing" (<a href="/wiki/Hanzi" class="mw-redirect" title="Hanzi">Chinese</a>: 符文, also known as Taoist magic script characters, Taoist magic figures, Taoist magic formulas, Taoist secret talismanic writing, and Talismanic characters) which is a secret writing style regarded as part of <a href="/wiki/Fulu" title="Fulu">Fulu</a>. Its techniques are passed from Taoist priests to their students and differ between Taoist sects, with a secrecy that led many people to believe that they would have more effect in controlling the will of the spirits. As the majority of these charms asked <a href="/wiki/Leigong" title="Leigong">Leigong</a> (the Taoist God of Thunder) to <a href="/wiki/Apotropaic_magic" title="Apotropaic magic">kill the evil spirits or bogies</a>, these numismatic charms are often called "Lei Ting" charms (雷霆錢) or "Lei Ting curse" charms. As imperial decrees had absolute authority, this reinforced the popular myth that Hanzi characters were somehow magical, and inspired Chinese talismans to take the forms of imperial decrees. Many Taoist talismans read as if by a high-rank official commanding the evil spirits and bogies with inscriptions such as "let it [the command] be executed as fast as Lü Ling",<a href="#cite_note-230">[e]</a> "quickly, quickly, this is an order", and "[pay] respect [to] this command".<a href="#cite_note-231">[226]</a> Taoist talismans can contain either square holes or round ones.

Most Chinese numismatic charms that feature swords often show a single sword.

During the <a href="/wiki/Spring_and_Autumn_period" title="Spring and Autumn period">Spring and Autumn period</a>, the notion developed that swords could be used against evil spirits and demons. Under the <a href="/wiki/Liu_Song_dynasty" title="Liu Song dynasty">Liu Song dynasty</a> swords became a common instrument in religious rituals, most particularly in Taoist rituals; according to the Daoist Rituals of the Mystery Cavern and Numinous Treasure (洞玄靈寶道學科儀) it was essential for students of Taoism to be able to forge swords which had the capability to dispel demonic entities. Many Taoist sects formed during this period believed that swords could defeat demons and also contained medical properties. Under the <a href="/wiki/Sui_dynasty" title="Sui dynasty">Sui</a> and <a href="/wiki/Tang_dynasty" title="Tang dynasty">Tang dynasties</a> ritualistic swords constructed of peach wood started to appear. Around this time, Chinese amulets with sword themes began to be produced; often these amulets resembled Chinese cash coins but had crossed swords decorated with ribbons or fillets on them, as the ancient Chinese believed that these items enhanced the powers of the item they were tied to. Chinese swords were commonly engraved with imagery representing the <a href="/wiki/Big_Dipper" title="Big Dipper">Big Dipper</a>, which was believed to have unlimited magical power, and this also became common for charms that featured swords.<a href="#cite_note-247">[242]</a><a href="#cite_note-248">[243]</a><a href="#cite_note-249">[244]</a> The image of two swords on Chinese amulets stems from a legend where Taoist leader <a href="/wiki/Zhang_Daoling" title="Zhang Daoling">Zhang Daoling</a> saw <a href="/wiki/Laozi" title="Laozi">Laozi</a> appear to him on a mountain in present-day <a href="/wiki/Sichuan" title="Sichuan">Sichuan</a> and gave him two swords. Alternatively, two swords can also represent two dragons from a legend where a man named Lei Huan (雷煥) received two swords and gave one to his son Lei Hua (雷華), who lost it in a river; a servant tasked with retrieving it witnessed two coiled and entwined Chinese dragons.<a href="#cite_note-250">[245]</a><a href="#cite_note-251">[246]</a><a href="#cite_note-252">[247]</a><a href="#cite_note-253">[248]</a> Another popular way swords are integrated in Chinese numismatic talismans is by stringing actual or replica cash coins into a sword-shape.<a href="#cite_note-BritishMuseumCoin-Swords-254">[249]</a><a href="#cite_note-255">[250]</a> In feng shui, these coin-swords are often hung to frighten away demons and evil spirits.<a href="#cite_note-BritishMuseumCoin-Swords-254">[249]</a> Chinese talismans of swordsmen usually depict one of the Taoist immortals Zhong Kui or <a href="/wiki/Lu_Dongbin" class="mw-redirect" title="Lu Dongbin">Lu Dongbin</a>.

Most horse coins tend to be round, three centimeters in diameter, with a circular or square hole. The horses featured on these coins are depicted in various positions. Their historical use is unknown, though it is speculated that they were used as game board pieces or gambling counters. Horse coins were most often manufactured from copper or bronze, though there are a few documented cases of manufacture from animal horn or ivory.

Another version has the same inscription written on the reverse side of the coin, while a third variant has nine stars on the reverse side of the coin. Modern numismatists haven't determined the meaning, purpose, or origin of these charms. One hypothesis proposes that these coins were a form of <a href="/wiki/Hell_money" title="Hell money">hell money</a> because it is thought that "World of Brightness" in this context would be a euphemism for "world of darkness", which is how the Chinese refer to death.

They were sometimes painted red, as a lucky colour, and sometimes had inscriptions wishing for good fortunes such as: <table class="wikitable"> <tbody><tr> <th><a href="/wiki/Traditional_Chinese" class="mw-redirect" title="Traditional Chinese">Traditional Chinese</a></th> <th>Translation </th></tr> <tr> <td><a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E9%87%91%E7%8E%89%E6%BB%BF%E5%A0%82#Chinese" class="extiw" title="wikt:金玉滿堂">金玉滿堂</a></td> <td>"may gold and jade fill your halls" </td></tr> <tr> <td>大位高升</td> <td>"may you be promoted to a high position" </td></tr> <tr> <td>五子登科</td> <td>"may your five sons achieve great success in the imperial examinations" </td></tr> <tr> <td>福祿壽喜</td> <td>"good fortune, emolument [official salary], longevity, and happiness" </td></tr> <tr> <td>吉祥如意</td> <td>"may your good fortune be according to your wishes" </td></tr></tbody></table> Kāng Xī Tōng Bǎo cash coins produced at the <a href="/wiki/Ministry_of_Revenue_(imperial_China)" title="Ministry of Revenue (imperial China)">Ministry of Revenue</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Ministry_of_Works_(imperial_China)" title="Ministry of Works (imperial China)">Ministry of Public Works</a> in the capital city of Beijing are excluded from these poems.<a href="#cite_note-300">[295]</a><a href="#cite_note-301">[296]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Chinese_Numismatic_Charms_Museum">Chinese Numismatic Charms Museum</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Chinese_numismatic_charm&action=edit&section=60" title="Edit section: Chinese Numismatic Charms Museum">edit</a>]</div> On 1 February 2015, a Chinese Numismatic Charms Museum (<a href="/wiki/Traditional_Chinese" class="mw-redirect" title="Traditional Chinese">Traditional Chinese</a>: 中國古代民俗錢幣博物館; <a href="/wiki/Simplified_Chinese" class="mw-redirect" title="Simplified Chinese">Simplified Chinese</a>: 中国古代民俗钱币博物馆; <a href="/wiki/Pinyin" title="Pinyin">Pinyin</a>: zhōng guó gǔ dài mín sú qián bì bó wù guǎn) was opened in the <a href="/wiki/Hainan" title="Hainan">Hainanese</a> city of <a href="/w/index.php?title=Haikuo&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Haikuo (page does not exist)">Haikuo</a>.

One of the most well-known Liao dynasty charms is the "Mother of Nine Sons" charm, which bears no inscription. It depicts three groups of three people which are believed to be the sons of the woman riding a dragon on the other side; the three groups are believed to symbolise the three levels of the imperial examination system. A more recent hypothesis proposes that the person riding the dragon is the <a href="/wiki/Yellow_Emperor" title="Yellow Emperor">Yellow Emperor</a> returning to the heavens and that the people represent the <a href="/wiki/Names_of_China" title="Names of China">Nine Provinces</a> (九州).<a href="#cite_note-306">[301]</a><a href="#cite_note-307">[302]</a><a href="#cite_note-308">[303]</a><a href="#cite_note-309">[304]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Charms_of_the_Sui_people">Charms of the Sui people</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Chinese_numismatic_charm&action=edit&section=63" title="Edit section: Charms of the Sui people">edit</a>]</div> In 2004, a <a href="/wiki/Sui_people" title="Sui people">Sui</a> coin was discovered dating to the Northern Song dynasty between 1008 and 1016, with the inscription dà zhōng xiáng fú (大中祥符) on one side and the word "wealth" written in <a href="/wiki/Sui_script" title="Sui script">Sui script</a> on the other. This is the only known coin produced by the Sui people and established their differing numismatic tradition from the <a href="/wiki/Han_Chinese" title="Han Chinese">Han Chinese</a>.

These can take many forms which can involve hidden symbolism in their inscriptions as well as <a href="/wiki/Visual_pun" title="Visual pun">visual puns</a>.<a href="#cite_note-313">[308]</a> One fundamental difference between cash coins and numismatic charms is that the majority of cash coins have four character inscriptions that usually bear the reign names, indicating the period of production and their nominal value. While most Chinese numismatic charms also have four character inscriptions, these do not serve for identification but contain wishes and desires such as auspicious inscriptions hoping that good fortune or health will arrive to the carrier, or that they'll succeed in the business world or do well on the imperial examination.<a href="#cite_note-314">[309]</a> Other inscriptions, however, wish for evil and dark spirits or ghosts to go away, or for misfortune to be averted. Unlike cash coins, Chinese numismatic charms depict a large range of images that are intended to enhance the symbolism of the charm. Charms may also contain visual and spoken puns, the latter of which is facilitated by the nature of Chinese languages in which many written Hanzi characters have the same pronunciation.<a href="#cite_note-315">[f]</a> The Chinese talismans produced under the reigns of the <a href="/wiki/Ming_dynasty" title="Ming dynasty">Ming</a> and <a href="/wiki/Qing_dynasty" title="Qing dynasty">Manchu Qing dynasties</a> often used visual and spoken puns. These implied or hidden meanings are referred in Mandarin Chinese as jí xiáng tú àn (吉祥圖案, "lucky pictures" or a <a href="/wiki/Rebus" title="Rebus">rebus</a>). It is not uncommon for Chinese talismans to depict animals, plants, and other things as a substitute for words due to their similarities in pronunciation despite there being no other relationship between them or what is expressed with the imagery.<a href="#cite_note-316">[310]</a><a href="#cite_note-317">[311]</a><a href="#cite_note-318">[312]</a><a href="#cite_note-319">[313]</a><a href="#cite_note-320">[314]</a><a href="#cite_note-321">[315]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="List_of_symbols_that_appear_on_Chinese_numismatic_charms_and_their_implied_meanings">List of symbols that appear on Chinese numismatic charms and their implied meanings</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Chinese_numismatic_charm&action=edit&section=65" title="Edit section: List of symbols that appear on Chinese numismatic charms and their implied meanings">edit</a>]</div> <table class="wikitable"> <tbody><tr> <th>Symbol</th> <th><a href="/wiki/Traditional_Chinese" class="mw-redirect" title="Traditional Chinese">Traditional Chinese</a></th> <th><a href="/wiki/Simplified_Chinese" class="mw-redirect" title="Simplified Chinese">Simplified Chinese</a></th> <th><a href="/wiki/Pinyin" title="Pinyin">Pinyin</a></th> <th>Implied or hidden meaning</th> <th>Origin of the association</th> <th>Exemplary image(s) </th></tr> <tr> <td><a href="/wiki/Apple" title="Apple">Apple</a></td> <td>蘋果</td> <td>苹果</td> <td>píng guǒ</td> <td>Denotes peace</td> <td>The Mandarin Chinese word for "apple" (蘋果, píng guǒ) sounds similar to that for "peace" (平安, píng ān).<a href="#cite_note-322">[316]</a></td> <td> </td></tr> <tr> <td><a href="/wiki/Apricot" title="Apricot">Apricot</a> grove, Field of apricots</td> <td>杏</td> <td>杏</td> <td>xìng</td> <td>Successful results in the imperial examination</td> <td>The first celebration where those who were successful in the imperial examination system was allegedly held in an apricot grove.</td> <td> </td></tr> <tr> <td><a href="/wiki/Axe" title="Axe">Axe</a></td> <td>斧</td> <td>斧</td> <td>fǔ</td> <td>Happiness, power, and punitive actions</td> <td>The Mandarin Chinese word for "axe" (斧, fǔ) sounds similar to that for "happiness" (福, fú).

Chinese Lifeworld 华人的生活世界 (Philosophically speaking, the Chinese live in the life-world and the westerners in the scientific-world. Life-world concerns more with human beings and Scientific-world with beings. One of the best ways to understand the Chinese Life-world is to go into contact with the vast treasure house of Chinese legend, folklore, fables, ghost stories. 从哲学角度来看，华人活在生活世界，洋人活在科学世界。生活世界是关于人的存在，科学世界注重存在。要了解华人的生活世界，一个最好的方法是接触华人神话、民间故事、寓言与神鬼故事的这个巨大宝藏。). 19 September 2009.
