五帝钱有大五帝钱与小五帝钱之分，大五帝钱指的是 秦半两、 汉五铢、唐朝的 开元通宝、宋朝的 宋元通宝和明朝的 永乐通宝，现在说的五帝钱一般是指小五帝钱，是顺治通宝、康熙通宝、雍正通宝、乾隆通宝和嘉庆通宝。

The five emperors' money is divided into five emperors' money and five emperors' money. The five emperors' money refers to the qin dynasty, the han dynasty, the kaiyuan tongbao of the tang dynasty, the song dynasty tongbao of the song dynasty and the yongle tongbao of the Ming dynasty.

五帝钱具有古钱所有的功用，避灾、保佑、祈福等。但与普通古钱相比，不论是大五帝钱还是小五帝钱，它们更多汇聚了华夏大地之灵气、中华民族之灵气、真命天子之灵气、传承百家之灵气。

The five emperors' money had all the functions of ancient money, such as avoiding disasters, blessing and blessing. But compared with the ordinary ancient money, no matter it is the big five emperors money or the small five emperors money, they are more gathering the spirit of the Chinese land, the spirit of the Chinese nation, the spirit of the right man, and the spirit of inheriting the hundred schools of thought.

古钱天、地、神的合一是从秦始皇半两开始的。王献唐先生在《中国古代货币通考》中考证：“始皇半两之制作，以中间方好为地，好外之圆肉为天，分作二事，各以度数象之。易系辞曰：天五地六。地数为六，故方好长宽各六分。天有十二纪，周而复始。形为天地，数亦为天地，彼此配合，……交射互应，无不中的，设计最为精密。”从秦始皇半两开始，中国古钱就是以“天圆地方说”，按照易经的天干十二支精密设计，并融合了阴阳五行铸造而成。汉五铢铸造时亦是如此，表达的是“天子立明堂者，所以通神灵，感天地，正四时，出教化，宗有德，重有道，显有能，褒有行者也。……上圆法天，下方法地”。汉朝董仲舒提出了“君权神授”的君权思想，它反映在钱币上就是把天、地、神合一，把天子作为神的代表与天地共齐，共同融入到钱币之中。唐代虽废五铢，改行通宝，但其造型仍沿用秦半两的天圆地方，只是称谓和币面所铸文字加以改变。后世延续使用这一形制，在“通宝”字前加了国号、朝代、年号，如明代的永乐通宝、嘉靖通宝等，清代的顺治通宝、康熙通宝、等，《天工开物》中亦记载了“一面刊国号通宝四字”。币面国号的铸造，在原有浓厚的宗教意味基础上融入了帝王的统治权威，政权与神权，皇帝的国号与天圆地方的形制进行了又一轮融合，共同铸入了每一枚铜钱之中。

The unity of heaven, earth and gods began with the first emperor of qin. Mr. Wang xiantang's research in the ancient Chinese currency tongkao says: "the first emperor made half two pieces of meat, with the middle square as the ground, the good round meat as the day, divided into two things, each according to the degree. Yi ci yue: five days and six. The number of ground is six, so the square is good six minutes long and wide. There are twelve periods in the sky. Form is heaven and earth, number is heaven and earth, cooperate with each other,...... Mutual response, without exception, the most sophisticated design." Since the first emperor of qin dynasty, ancient Chinese money has been based on the concept of "heaven is round and the earth is round", a precise design based on the twelve heavenly stems of the book of changes, and the combination of Yin and Yang and the five elements. The same is true of the han and wubaht casting, which expresses that "the son of heaven is the one who sets up a bright hall, so he can connect with the gods, feel the heaven and earth, and at the fourth hour, he can enlighten people, show his power and praise the master. ... On the way to heaven, under the way to earth ". Dong zhongshu of the han dynasty put forward the idea of "divine right of Kings", which is reflected in the COINS that the heaven, the earth and the gods are united, and the son of heaven as the representative of the gods and the heaven and earth are unified, which is integrated into the COINS. Although the tang dynasty abolished five baht and changed to tongbao, its shape still follows the qin dynasty's half round heaven and half round earth, only the address and the COINS are cast characters to change. Later generations continued to use this form, adding the name of the state, dynasty and year before the word "tongbao", such as yongle tongbao and jiajing tongbao in the Ming dynasty, shunzhi tongbao and kangxi tongbao in the qing dynasty, and "tiangong kaiwu" also recorded "tongbao four characters". On the basis of the original strong religious meaning, the casting of the currency surface of the state merged into the emperor's ruling authority, political power and divine power, and the emperor's state name and the shape of the round heaven and the earth were integrated again, casting into each copper coin.

五帝钱按功用不同，摆放操作也有特定的讲究。化煞有方位，辟邪有神位，招财有财位。祈福纳吉祥时可以随意一些，“钱”和任何人、任何事都没有忌讳；祈求平安时可悬挂在汽车中，既可装饰又可保平安；在客厅、办公室、神位等地方安置吊挂一串，可以趋吉避凶，招财、旺宅气。摆放顺序按照钱币年代顺序即可。

品相是用来表示收藏品的完好程度。古钱作为收藏品的一种，也具有自身的评价标准，可分为美、上、近上、中四个等级。作为古钱币中的五帝钱也是按照这样的标准判断。但由于铸币时间、铸币主要材质、距今时间不同，导致我们今天看到的古钱各有不同。

A photograph is used to indicate the good condition of a collection. As a collection of ancient money, also has its own evaluation criteria, can be divided into the United States, on, near on, in the four grades. As an ancient coin in the five emperors money is also according to such a standard of judgment. However, due to the different casting time, the main material and the time from now, the ancient COINS we see today are different from each other.

物以稀为贵，在历史更迭的过程中，能够像这样妥善保存同时品相良好的真品五帝钱也是越来越少了，即使有也被很多人作为私品收藏，故而能够流通在市面上的五帝钱价格也是扶摇直上。

In the course of the change of history, the five emperors' money, which can be properly preserved like this, is also less and less. Even if there is, it is also collected as private goods by many people. Therefore, the price of the five emperors' money which can be circulated in the market is soaring.
