The Middle Kingdom, As China Has Always Been Called by Its Inhabitants, Is Perhaps the World’S Most Influential Civilization 2000 YEARS OF COINAGE CTHE HMIDDLEI KINGDOMNA A 12-PIECE RETROSPECTIVE COLLECTION CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY The Middle Kingdom, as China has always been called by its inhabitants, is perhaps the world’s most influential civilization. In addition to gunpowder, paper, woodblock printing, and the magnetic compass—the so-called Four Great Inventions—China also invented or discovered silk, tea, playing cards, toilet tissue, fireworks, boat rudders, umbrellas, kites, porcelain, wheelbarrows, iron casting, hot air balloons, seismographs, matches, horse stirrups, acupuncture, herbal medicine, lacquer, paper money, mechanical clocks, and alcohol. Unlike the nations of Europe, Africa, India, or the New World, China was united in ancient times, during the semi-legendary Xia Dynasty (2100-1600 BCE). While it has both expanded and fractured a number of times since then, it has been unified more often than not. This is due in part to a culture and system of govern- ment established by the pre-Common Era dynasties, which imposed a strict hierarchy among various ancestral cults and standardized the writing script, weights, and measures. The first emperor of one of these early dynasties, the Qin—from which the Western word “China” derives—established the first unified currency, the Ban Liang, ca. 210 BCE, appropriating a design first introduced by the Zhou. This system was modified during the reign of the Han emperor Wang Mang (7-23 CE), whose bizarre bao huo monetary overhaul involved tortoise shells, cowries, gold, silver, and archaic spade money, in addition to new coins. This chaotic system wreaked havoc on the Chinese economy and ultimately doomed the Han, the great dynasty that had invented paper. The situation improved under the emperor Guang Wu (25-56 CE), who simplified the monetary system; his Wu Zhu issues, with their distinctive hourglass-shaped design, continued to be issued for centuries. Gaozu, founding emperor of the Tang dynasty (618-907) abolished the coinage based on a weight of Wu Zhu (i.e., five zhu) and began to cast Kai Yuan Tong Bao ca. 622 CE. From that point on, Chinese money, no longer named after weight, was called Tong Bao, Yuan Bao, or Zhong Bao. The Tang was an era of high culture and innovation; gunpowder and woodblock printing were invented during this period. The Song dynasty (960-1279) represented a Chinese golden age, highlighted by expansion of trade, territory, and technological achievement. The copper cash coin became the currency for the monetization of the economy. The medieval dynasty fell to the same power that took most of the rest of Asia: the Mongols. Established by the famed Kublai Khan, the Great Yuan dynasty (1279-1368) was the zenith of Chinese literature. Marco Polo made his famous journey to China at this time. The coinage showed Islamic influence, as with these issues by the Khan Kaidu. The insular focus of the famed Ming dynasty (1368-1644) is evident in its primary contribution to posterity: the Great Wall, intended to repel both foreign invaders and would-be immigrants. The last of the ethic Han dynasties, the Ming comprised what some historians hail as one of the greatest eras of orderly government and social stability in human history. Such focus on stability meant that the cash coins looked much the same as they had a thousand years earlier. In 1644, the Manchu, an ethnic minority from which Manchuria derives its name, toppled the last Ming emperor and established the Qing dynasty (1644-1912). During the Great Qing period, China experienced a marked growth in size, population, and economic might that foreshadowed its 21st century prominence. Its territorial extent included all of modern-day China, as well as Taiwan, Mongo- lia, Bhutan, and parts of Myanmar, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Pakistan, and Russia. Throughout, the design of the cash coin did not much change. Some 25 million Chinese fell during the Taiping Rebellion of 1850-64; in all of human history, only World War II had a higher death toll. The Qin managed to survive this civil war with the ironically-named Heavenly Kingdom of Peace, but when the 19th century gave way to the 20th, the monarchy was on its last legs. Led by its first president, Sun Yat-sen, the Republic of China controlled all of China from 1912 until 1949, when it was forced to repair to the outlaying island of Taiwan. From 1928 until his death in 1975, its leader was Chiang Kai-shek. Early issues, such as this ten cash, show two crossed flags: the five-stripe flag of the Republic crossed with the national emblem. Later Taiwanese issues feature the portrait of Sun Yat-sen. Led by the indefatigable Mao Zedong, the Communist Party prevailed in the Chinese Civil War, chasing Chaing Kai-shek and his disciples off the mainland entirely. On October 1, 1949, the People’s Republic of China was established. The government turned its back on thousands of years of proud tradition. Mao’s policies were failures. Between the Great Leap Forward, the Great Cultural Revolution, and the Great Famine, some 60 million Chinese died as a result of Mao’s botched programs. After Mao’s death in 1976, the PRC instituted a number of economic reforms that have contributed to its re-emergence as a world power in the 21st century. The design of this one fen coin, struck in aluminum, has not changed since 1955. This set contains 12 coins spanning over 2000 years of Chinese history. 1.

The name Wu Zhu literally means ‘five zhu’, which is a measuring unit officially weighing about 4 grams. In reality however, the weights and sizes of Wu Zhu cash coins varied significantly over the years. During the Han dynasty a large quantity of Wu Zhu coins were cast, but their production continued under subsequent dynasties until the Sui. Minting definitively ended in 618 with the establishment of the Tang dynasty. Wu Zhu coins were cast from 118 BC to 618 AD, having a span of 736 years, the longest for any coin in the history of the world.

  • Münzen Aus Dem Reich Der Mitte – Von Der Kaurischnecke Zum Käsch
    Münzen aus dem Reich der Mitte – von der Kaurischnecke zum Käsch Um 1500 v. Chr. benutzte man in China Schneckengehäuse als Münzen; später wurden die Schnecken aus Knochen oder Kupfer nachgeahmt. Daneben zirkulierte Gerätegeld, zum Beispiel in Form von Messer- oder Spatenmünzen, aber auch runde Münzen waren in Gebrauch. 211 v. Chr. begann der erste chinesische Kaiser mit der Ausgabe von einheitlichen Reichsmünzen, aus denen sich schliesslich die Käschmünze entwickelte: eine runde Kupfermünze mit viereckigem Loch, die bis zum Ende der chinesischen Kaiserzeit im Jahr 1911 ausgegeben wurde. 1 von 21 www.sunflower.ch China, Shang-Dynastie, durchbohrte Cypraea moneta (Kauri) Denomination: Cypraea Moneta (Kauri) Prägeautorität: Prägeort: Prägejahr: -1500 Gewicht in Gramm: 0.9 Durchmesser in mm: 21.0 Material: Andere Eigentümer: Sunflower Foundation Kaurischnecken waren die langlebigste Währung aller Zeiten. In China wurden sie schon vor über 3000 Jahren als Geld benutzt und liefen, zusammen mit anderen Zahlungsmitteln, bis 1578 um. Die chinesische Schrift, die im 2. Jahrtausend v. Chr. entwickelt wurde, verwendet das Zeichen für Kauri noch heute in Wörtern wie Münze, Geld, Kaufen, Wert und ähnlichen. Das Zeichen ist auch Bestandteil der Inschrift auf vielen chinesischen Käschmünzen. Der venezianische Händler Marco Polo, der im späten 13. Jahrhundert während mehrerer Jahre in China lebte, überlieferte in seinen Reisebeschreibungen (Il Milione) einige Preise. Demnach bezahlte man damals in China für ein Huhn 5 Kauri, für vier Kilogramm Getreide 8 Kauri und für eine Kuh 320 Kauri. 2 von 21 www.sunflower.ch China, Zhou-Dynastie, Kauriimitation aus Knochen, ca. 700 v.

  • The Case of Chinese Zoosemy
    ZESZYTY NAUKOWE UNIWERSYTETU RZESZOWSKIEGO SERIA FILOLOGICZNA ZESZYT 47/2007 STUDIA ANGLICA RESOVIENSIA 4 Robert KIEŁTYKA, Grzegorz A. KLEPARSKI ON THE INDO-EUROPEAN NATURE OF NON-INDO- EUROPEAN ANIMAL METAPHOR: THE CASE OF CHINESE ZOOSEMY Introduction The aim of this paper is to outline the mechanism of zoosemy1 (animal metaphor) operating in Chinese in the context of its operation in Indo-European languages. In the existing literature, the issue of animal metaphor in Chinese has been touched upon in, among others, Hsieh (2000, 2002, 2003), Domínguez and Li (2004) and Kiełtyka (forthcoming).2 In their cognitively-couched analysis of the metaphorisation of animal terms, Domínguez and Li (2004) concentrate on the semantics of water animals in Spanish and Chinese, yet there is an evident lack of any in-depth study of zoosemic developments of other subcategories of the macrocategory of ANIMALS, such as, for example, MAMMALS, BIRDS, AMPHIBIANS or INSECTS. To meet this need, we intend to trace certain zoosemic developments involving the members of the category DOMESTICATED ANIMALS. We envision a later attempt will be made to expand the scope of the issue to further historical analysis. Quite rightly, this paper concentrates mainly on the question what has happened, rather than attempting to formulate definite answers to the questions of why or under what conditions zoosemic developments, and – in particular – zoosemic shifts in Chinese have taken place. 1 Zoosemy is understood in current semantic literature (see Rayevska (1979:165)) as nicknaming from animals which means that names of animals are often used to denote human qualities. 2 Kleparski (1990, 1996, 1997, 2002), Kiełtyka (2005a, 2005b), Hsieh (2000, 2002, 2003), Domínguez and Li (2004) and Kiełtyka and Kleparski (2005a, 2005b) analyse selected animal terms in various languages with special reference to English, Hungarian, Chinese and Spanish, with the aid of both componential and cognitive mechanisms.
