Chapter 150: The Legendary Ancient Spring (Part 2)

Xiao Zhao is worthy of being a master's student in the field of literature and education. He knows these historical records with ease and can be easily picked up.

Mr. Liu nodded with satisfaction and signaled Xiao Zhao to continue speaking.

Xiao Zhao continued: "As for the second Daqi Tongbao, it is the legendary "Four-eyed Daqi". Around 1920, the trend of research on coin collection in my country was revived. In 1926, Southern Quan coins collecting enthusiasts spontaneously founded the Guquan Academy and founded the journal "Guquan" magazine. The prosperity of the Quanxue began. The year before the founding of the society, Dai Baoting and Zhu Kezhuang obtained the "Four-eyed Daqi" in Poyang, Ganzhou Province on April 2, 1925. The style was the same as the first missing corner Daqi, and the style was the same.

, in order to make the point, it can shake the spring hall. 'Jun Dai took this and then returned to the famous Tibetan money master Zhang Shuxun, who was rich in financial resources at that time, and the world's largest coins, Zhang Shuxun, was the initiator of the Guquan Academy. He was the reputation of "Nan Zhang, the Bashuluo in the North". After Mr. Zhang got this "Four Eyes Great Qi", he never showed his secret room, and therefore called himself "Qizhai", which shows how much Mr. Zhang loves this Guquan."

When Xiao Zhao talked about this, Yang Jing couldn't help but remember some information about the coin king Zhang Shuxin.

Mr. Zhang Shuxun was born in the Zhang family in the south of Huzhou. This family is a genuine wealthy family with a wealthy family and has been rich in collections for generations. It also plays an important role in the modern and contemporary Chinese history.

Zhang Shuxun can be said to be a milestone figure in the history of Chinese coin collection, and it represents an era. In the 1920s and 1930s, the trend of coin collection research was extremely prosperous. "Southern and Zhang North" stood in Quandi. All the collections of Yuanli (Preface Medicine Rain) were born in the sea of ​​Yuanli. Some of the collections were later added to Zhang Shuxun. Since then, most of the treasures seen in the north and south have flowed into his hands. In that era, whether it was collections, financial resources, or spring consciousness, they were all "dominating the spring hall" and were admired by colleagues from Quandi.

Mr. Zhang’s collection is also amazing. There are countless treasures and solitary products. It is said that he actually collected 16 pieces of Qi’s six-character sword coins in the Warring States Period. It may be inevitable that this “Four-Eyed Great Qi” treasure spring will be returned to Zhang Shuxun. “Qizhai” and “Four-Eyed Great Qi” will be heard together. Not only did he achieve Mr. Zhang’s fame, but he also forged the name of “Legendary Ancient Springs and Famous Treasures” in Daqi Tongbao.

It is no exaggeration to say that the reason why Tongbao of Daqi is so famous in the ancient spring world is because Uncle Zhang tried to tame Mr. Zhang; similarly, Mr. Zhang's ability to become the coin king is also closely related to this legendary "Four-eyed Daqi".

Xiao Zhao continued on the other side: "In fact, there is another wrong statement about this 'Four-eyed Daqi'. People all believe that the 'Four-eyed Daqi' obtained by Mr. Dai Baoting was bought from a child who kicked a shuttlecock. Because the child used this 'Four-eyed Daqi' to make a shuttlecock, he drilled four eyes from it. This is the origin of the four eyes on the 'Four-eyed Daqi', but in fact this statement is wrong. In an article ten years after he obtained the 'Four-eyed Daqi', "Daqi Tongbao was obtained from a grocery stall merchant on the afternoon of April 2."

From this we can see that this 'Four-eyed Daqi' was not bought from a child who was playing shuttlecock. From the information such as "I got from a grocery merchant, and the four small eyes were added to the original string", it can be guessed that this fountain should be a major "leak" in the spring. Shortly after I got this fountain, I returned to Mr. Zhang Shuxun with 500 oceans. At that time, the fountain could be converted into about 40,000 kilograms of rice. It was a cost of two or three years for an ordinary family, but this was also a "leak", and it could even be said to be the "first leak in the spring world". However, this fountain will only favor those diligent and hardworking people, such as Mr. Dai Baoting."

"In the 1940s, due to the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Mr. Zhang Shuxun lived in the United States. The 'Four-Eyed Daqi' was also brought to the United States as one of his favorite Zhenquans. Mr. Zhang Shuxun later died of illness, and the whereabouts of the money disappeared. Most people in the spring world believe that this spring has been lost like the 'Quejiao Daqi', which has become an eternal regret."

"As for the third Daqi Tongbao, named 'Blue Rust Daqi', it was bought by Mr. Chen Guangyang, a Singaporean who is known as the number one ancient spring collector today, from unknown channels in the late 1990s, and it was not published until the beginning of this century. This is the third Daqi Tongbao. Teacher, I'm done."

Mr. Liu nodded slightly and said, "Xiao Zhao, what you said is good, very good, but there are still two errors in it."

When Xiao Zhao heard this, his face immediately became awkward.

However, Mr. Liu ignored the disciple's embarrassment, but directly pointed out the two mistakes Xiao Zhao just mentioned.

"First, Mr. Zhang Shuxun's 'Four-eyed Daqi' was not missing, nor was it lost because of Mr. Zhang Shuxun's death. In fact, in the book "Zhang Jingjiang and Zhang Shiming Family" co-authored by Zhang Shuxun's son Zhang Nanchen and famous writer Song Luxia, the true whereabouts of this money were disclosed for the first time, confirming that the "Four-eyed Daqi" was not lost, but was stored in the Dai Jitao Foundation in the United States. In the section of the book "Mysterious Daqi Tongbao", the photo of "Four-eyed Daqi" was published for the first time, making up for the Shi's shortcomings. He also told people, 19 In 1938, Mr. Zhang Shuxun's family went to the United States for Japan's invasion of China. At that time, he failed to take away the collection and let his relatives manage it. It was not until after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War that he returned to Shanghai to collect 2,000 coins, including the "Four-eyed Daqi". These collections were not until several years after Mr. Zhang Shuxun's death in 1948 that his wife Xu sold the ancient coins to Dai Jitao, the then American collector. After Mr. Dai's death, his huge inheritance and collection formed the "Dai Jitao Foundation", which was stored in this foundation."

"Although this 'Four-Eyed Daqi' has never been exhibited, this ancient spring is indeed preserved in the Dai Jitao Foundation, and this incident once again interprets the fate between the Daqi Tongbao and the Dai surname."

"As for the second mistake, it is that the authentic products found by the Daqi Tongbao are not three, but four. About ten years ago, a Daqi Tongbao named "Green Rust Daqi" appeared again, and has been proven to be the authentic product. It is different from any Daqi Tongbao that has appeared before. It can now be determined as the fourth authentic Daqi Tongbao that has been born."

"It is said that this money is similar to the unearthed location of the 'Blue Rust Daqi'. It is stored in a canned cellar at a Tang and Song site, including coins from the Tang, Five Dynasties, Song and other dynasties. Most of them are the coins of the Northern Song Dynasty and Kaiyuan, and there are no coins from the late Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty. It is also reported that the Qianfeng Quanbao, Xiantong Xuanbao, Qianheng Tongbao, Guangzheng Tongbao were unearthed here. It can be inferred that this batch of money should be stored in the Northern Song Dynasty. This should be another major discovery in my country's numismatics and currency history. The unearth and discovery of two real products of the 'Daqi Tongbao' has allowed everyone to affirm the existence of the 'Daqi Tongbao' money. The research and understanding of the 'Daqi Tongbao' has not only been left with two incomplete rubbings, but has truly moved towards physical research."

After a pause, Mr. Liu looked at the freshly baked big Qi Tongbao in his hand and said with a smile: "If this one is included, there are five big Qi Tongbaos in the world now. Xiao Zhao, the basic knowledge must be laid firmly! Your spirituality is good, but it is still a bit rough. You need to continue to calm your temper and hone it well. Look, ask more, and get started more. Don't hear that the wind is rain, so that you can go further in this journey!"

"Yes, teacher, I remember!" Xiao Zhao replied respectfully.

"Okay, there are thirty-four untreated ancient springs here, and I don't know what is covered under the copper rust. But what I can tell you is that Director Cai and I just drew two ancient springs and found this Daqi Tongbao and one Daxia Zhenxing. They are both special treasures! So, children, I will give you a chance to practice. You two are in a group, one group is responsible for four ancient springs, so clean them up!"

The students immediately cheered excitedly.
