Lucky Objects: The Five Emperors’ Coins
What are the Five Emperors’ Coins?
The term “Five Emperors’ Coins” refers to copper coins minted during the Qing Dynasty under the reigns of the five emperors: Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, and Jiaqing. These coins are believed to have the effects of warding off negative energies, protecting against malicious individuals, and attracting wealth. Girls can wear these coins as accessories on their bags or carry them to protect against negative influences.
Principles of How the Five Emperors’ Coins Counteract Negative Energies:
- Copper coins have a strong ability to absorb energy, better than gold and silver. Copper is associated with the element of metal in Chinese Five Element theory, making it effective in neutralizing negative energies.
- The round shape of the coin symbolizes heaven, while the square hole in the center symbolizes earth. The emperor’s reign name in the middle represents humanity. This combination of “heaven, earth, and humanity” creates a powerful energy to reverse the flow of qi (energy).
- The reigns of Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, and Jiaqing were characterized by a strong Chinese empire, social stability, and prosperity. These coins bear the energies of these prosperous eras, making them effective in suppressing negative energies and enhancing wealth. Coins with the reign names of these emperors carry the message of a prosperous and thriving era.
