吉語錢，歷代官爐、民間均有鑄造，品種極多，內涵豐富，是民俗民風的縮影，代表著古人對美好生活的向往和祝福。收集、研究這些鑄造精良、文圖優美的吉語花錢，可以直觀地了解中國古代民俗文化。

清代二十四福壽吉語花錢，直徑48毫米，重：32g。品相精良，古樸雅致，蘊含福壽綿長的良好愿望，是清代花錢中的上品。其錢文字體變化多端，書法優美。從這類吉語花錢字數上來說，其正背的“?！薄皦邸倍指鳛?4個，但民間習俗多稱此為“百福百壽”吉語花錢。
“?！弊质俏覈霈F很早的文字之一，為會意字。其甲骨文字形是“兩人捧酒獻于祭臺上”。因為古人用酒象征生活富裕，福字初是裝酒器具在神前的形狀?！案！弊謴淖中紊险f左邊為“礻”，意為“神祗”，而右邊則由“一”“口”“田”組成“畐”字；按《說文》解釋為“一，惟初太始，道立于一，造分天地，化成萬物?！薄翱冢怂允逞砸病！薄疤铩奔粗父?、打獵。在這個福字上，寄托了古人祈求得到田地，以滿足溫飽需求和得到神靈保佑的愿望。

“福”字還有五種具體的含義，即“五?！薄＝浀涫芳渡袝ず榉丁飞纤涊d的“五福”是：“一曰壽、二曰富、三曰康寧、四曰修好德、五曰考終命?！薄翱祵帯睘樯眢w健康且心靈安寧的意思；“好德”為生性仁善且寬厚寧靜；“考終命”即“善終”。俗語中的“五福臨門”中的“五福”即源于此。

《說文》：“福。備也。從示畐聲。”許慎的訓詁說明福字在東漢時的讀音同畐。即bì。這和今天的讀音fú差別很大。這兩個發音究竟哪一個才是遠古的正音呢？段注曰：“福者備也。備者百順之名也。無所不順者之謂備。按福、備古音皆在部。疊韻也。”卜辭中福與畐有通用的情況，這大概就是后來兩字都讀如bì的原因，兩個甲骨文字是同義字。

至于背面的壽字，《說文》解釋：“壽,久也?！眽畚幕Ｒ娪跁嬛小．嬛心袎坌堑男蜗笫前醉毨衔?，頭大額凸，一手扶鹿杖，掛一寶葫蘆，另一手托仙桃，身旁鹿鶴相伴，以喻；女壽星則以“麻姑獻壽圖”中的麻姑為代表，據說麻姑以靈芝釀成壽酒，敬獻王母，王母封她為壽仙。除此外，“上酒獻壽”的佳作流傳不少，如漢代的畫像磚“酒宴”，彩畫《夫妻宴飲圖》等；現代作品中，以壽為題材的書畫，隨處可見。連百姓日常生活也充滿著壽文化情趣，飲酒的有酒，吃面的有面，宴席有宴，壽文化無處不在，給中華民族追求生命的壽文化注入了美妙的活力。
furnaces and the folk in the past dynasties, is a miniature of the folk custom and represents the yearning and blessing of the ancients for a better life. By collecting and studying these auspicious words with excellent casting and beautiful pictures, we can directly understand the ancient Chinese folk culture.






In the Qing Dynasty, 24 auspicious languages were used to spend money, with a diameter of 48mm and a weight of 26.9g. It's the best in Qing Dynasty's spending money. It's exquisite in appearance, simple and elegant, and contains good wishes for longevity. Its Qian characters are changeable and its calligraphy is beautiful. In terms of the number of such auspicious words, the two words "Fu" and "Shou" on the back are 24 respectively, but the folk custom calls them "Baifu Baishou" auspicious words.



"Fu" is one of the earliest characters in China, which is Huiyi. Its oracle bone inscription is "two people holding wine to offer on the altar". Because the ancients used wine as a symbol of wealth in life, the character Fu was originally the shape of wine utensils in front of God. "Fu" means "God" on the left, and "Yi", "Kou" and "Tian" on the right. According to "Shuowen", it is interpreted as "one, only at the beginning, Tao stands in one, creates and divides Heaven and earth, and transforms everything." "Mouth, people break their promise." "Farmland" means cultivated land and hunting. In this word of blessing, the ancient people's desire to get the land to meet their needs for food and clothing and to be blessed by the gods is entrusted.






The word "Fu" has five specific meanings, namely, "five blessings". The "five blessings" recorded in the classic historical book "Shangshu · Hongfan" are: "one is longevity, two is wealth, three is Kangning, four is moral cultivation, and five is final examination." "Kangning" means health and peace of mind; "good virtue" means benevolence, kindness and peace of mind; "examination of final life" means "good ending". This is the origin of the five blessings in the saying "five blessings come to the door".






"Shuowen": "Fu. Prepare also. From the sound. " Xu Shen's exegesis shows that the pronunciation of Fuzi in the Eastern Han Dynasty is the same. That is, B. This is very different from the pronunciation f ü today. Which of these two pronunciations is the ancient correct pronunciation? Duan said, "the Blessed are prepared.". Prepare the name of Baishun. If there is nothing wrong with it, it is called preparation. According to Fu, the ancient sound is in the first part. It's also a rhyme. " There is a general situation of Fu and Fu in the oracle inscriptions, which is probably the reason why the two characters are read as b-fu later. The two oracle bone characters are synonymous.






As for the character "Shou" on the back, "Shuowen" explains: "Shou, long also." Longevity culture is common in painting and calligraphy. The image of the male longevity star in the painting is an old man with a white beard, with a large forehead. He holds a deer stick, hangs a treasure of gourd, and holds a peach in the other hand, accompanied by deer and crane, which makes her longevity a household name. The female longevity star is represented by the Magu in the picture of "Magu sacrificing his life". It is said that the Magu brews a wine of longevity from Ganoderma lucidum, and presents her to the king's mother, who makes her the immortal of longevity. In addition, many excellent works of "offering wine and longevity" have been spread, such as the Han Dynasty's portrait brick "wine feast" and the color painting "the picture of husband and wife's Feast", etc.; in modern works, paintings and calligraphy with longevity as the theme are everywhere. Even the people's daily life is full of the taste of longevity culture. There are longevity wine for drinking, longevity noodles for eating and longevity banquet for banquet. Longevity culture is everywhere, which has injected wonderful vitality into the Longevity Culture of the Chinese nation in pursuit of life.</a>
