Before, we talked about who made Chongzhen Tongbao’s back Manchu money and when it was made. Many people didn’t agree with them. Later, someone asked me whether it would be made by Tiandi Club, or it was clearly. Founded by the end of the uprising army, or officially in the late Ming Dynasty, of course, there is also a saying that it was cast by Wu Sangui in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty. Through inquiring some historical data and some money spectrum, I personally think that these kinds of statements are not particularly reliable. In other words, there was no time and place, or there was no good reason to cast Chongzhen Tongbao coins with Manchu writing.
My personal opinion is that Chongzhen Tongbao carries Manchu money, which should have been cast by the Qing government in the early Qing Dynasty. After the Qing Dynasty entered the Pass in 1644, the entire Central Plains and even the entire Chinese region used Chongzhen Tongbao and other Ming money as the main circulation. Currency, if the Manchus cast a lot of money, the people will definitely find it difficult to accept, because the Manchu is a minority ethnic Manchu, while the Ming Dynasty is a Han. The Han is repellent to ethnic minorities, and it is impossible for ethnic minorities to directly and very easily manage the population. The huge Han nationality.
So the officials at that time minted this coin, also called Chongzhen Tongbao, but the back of it was cast in Manchu script to distinguish the Chongzhen Tongbao cast by the government. Another point was that the Manchu coin was not the Chongzhen Tongbao. Make great efforts to forge the excellent Chongzhen Tongbao, and the coins that are minted are like private parts. This will make the people at that time feel disgusted with this coin or the Chongzhen Tongbao coin.
Because everyone is unwilling to use small coins, the transitional period is the process of analyzing the Manchu and Qing government through these two aspects. When people are gradually unwilling to use Chongzhen Tongbao, Shunzhi Tongbao began to be mined in large quantities. As a result, the well-cast Shunzhi Tongbao replaced the thin, poorly crafted Chongzhen Tongbao, and took the natural path. Therefore, both for the Qing government and the people, they are more willing to use the castings at that time. Shunzhi Tongbao.
Here is gradually introduced, why the casting of Shunzhi Tongbao should be casting the five types of Shunzhi. By casting only coins with Chinese characters and gradually transitioning to coins with Manchu characters, Han Chinese throughout China gradually accepted the coins of the Qing Dynasty. In summary, I believe that Chongzhen Tongbao’s Manchu coin was a transitional coin before the Qing government introduced the Manchu coin.
