[[File:Ying yuan, Guangdong Museum.JPG|250px|thumb|Ying Yuan]] '''Ying Yuan''' ({{zh|c=[[wikt:郢|郢]][[wikt:爰|爰]]|hp=yǐng yuán}}) is a kind of [[gold coin]]<ref name=Hartill>{{cite book |last=Hartill |first=David |date=September 22, 2005|title=Cast Chinese Coins |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=r4qWx1MFrMQC&pg=PA79 |publisher=Trafford Publishing|isbn=978-1412054669 |p=79}}{{Self-published inline|certain=yes|date=January 2018}}</ref> issued by the ancient Chinese [[Chu (state)|state of Chu]] during the [[Warring States period]].<ref name=Hartill/> == Names == Because these gold bullion coins are inscribed with [[Chinese characters]] they are variously known as ''yin zi jin'' ({{zh |first=t | t= 印子金 | hp= yìn zǐ jīn | links=no}}), ''jin ban'' ({{zh |first=t | t= 金鈑 | s= 金钣 | hp= jīn bǎn | links=no}}), or ''gui bi'' ({{zh |first=t | t= 龜幣 | s= 龟币 | hp= guī bì | links=no}}).<ref name="Primaltrek-Chinese-Burial-Money">{{cite web|url= http://primaltrek.com/blog/2015/03/20/chinese-burial-money/|title= Chinese Burial Money.|date=20 March 2015|accessdate=20 June 2020|work= Gary Ashkenazy / גארי אשכנזי (Primaltrek – a journey through Chinese culture)}}</ref> These State of Chu gold coins are sometimes referred to in [[English language|English]] as "ying yuan", "gold plates", "seal gold", or "gold cube money".<ref name="Primaltrek-Chinese-Burial-Money"/> == History and overview == The oldest ones known are from about the 5th or 6th century BCE.<ref name=Hartill/> They consist of sheets of gold 3-5mm thick, of various sizes, with inscriptions consisting of square or round stamps in which there are one or two characters.<ref name=Hartill/> This ancient gold money is known as ''yuan jin'' (爰金) and generally consists of small square gold cubes connected together in a form best described as a slab, plate, or sheet.<ref name="Primaltrek-Chinese-Burial-Money"/> Individual squares could be broken off and spent as needed.<ref name="Primaltrek-Chinese-Burial-Money"/> They have been unearthed in various locations south of the Yellow River indicating that they were products of the State of Chu.<ref name=Hartill/> One of the characters in their inscription is often a monetary unit or weight which is normally read as ''yuan'' ({{zh | c=爰| hp=yuán| links=no}}).<ref name=Hartill/> Pieces are of a very variable size and thickness, and the stamps appear to be a device to validate the whole block, rather than a guide to enable it to be broken up into unit pieces.<ref name=Hartill/> Some ''ying yuan'' contain the [[Hanzi|Chinese characters]] ying yuan (郢爰).<ref name="Primaltrek-Chinese-Burial-Money"/> The city of Ying (郢), which was situated in what is now [[Jingzhou]], [[Hubei]], was the capital of the State of Chu.<ref name="Primaltrek-Chinese-Burial-Money"/> The other inscription that is sometimes found on these ancient gold coins is ''chen yuan'' (陳爰).<ref name="Primaltrek-Chinese-Burial-Money"/> Some specimens have been reported in copper, lead, or clay.<ref name=Hartill/> It is probable that these were [[hell money|funeral money]], not circulating coinage, as they are found in tombs, but the gold coins are not.<ref name=Hartill/> == See also == {{Portal|Money}} *[[Economic history of China]] *[[Ancient Chinese coinage]] == References == {{reflist}} == External links == *[http://www.chinagoldcoin.net/ENGLISH/faqs/page19.htm What is the Earliest Gold Coin in China ?] {{Chinese currency and coinage}} [[:Category:Chu (state)]] [[:Category:Coins of ancient China]] [[:Category:Gold coins]] {{coin-stub}} {{china-stub}} .
