What about “spending money”? Many friends may not have heard of it. “Spending money” is actually an ancient copper coin with a round outer edge and a square hole in the middle. However, it cannot be used to buy things because it is not a currency in circulation. Instead, it is a kind of folk money specifically used for protection and bringing good fortune.

People cast copper coins into the shape of money and engraved auspicious patterns or words on them, such as “longevity and wealth”, “peace throughout the land”, “blessings and longevity”, etc., and called them “spending money”. They wore them on their bodies to pray for blessings and protection. Among various spending money, the most famous one is the “Mountain Ghost spending money”.

The term “Mountain Ghost” first appeared in Qu Yuan’s “Nine Songs” in “The Songs of Chu”. Originally, he was a mountain god, but because he was not officially enshrined by the Heavenly Emperor, he was only called “Mountain Ghost”. It is said that he was good at upholding justice for the people and was responsible for protecting the creatures in the mountains, along with the earth god, to safeguard the area. Later, for convenience, people cast the Mountain Ghost’s blessings into the shape of money and carried them with them. In folk customs, the Mountain Ghost spending money has many unique functions:
1. Solving difficulties: The Mountain Ghost spending money contains various auspicious elements and can dispel negative energy, eliminate obstacles and misfortunes.
2. Enhancing aura: Copper coins are strong in nature and can enhance one’s positive energy, boost one’s aura, and attract good luck.
3. Attracting wealth: As a type of money, wearing the spending money can generate wealth and bring in financial resources.
4. Protecting peace: The power of the Mountain Ghost spending money is like a barrier that can keep all kinds of bad luck out and protect peace and tranquility.

Therefore, in the past, people liked to wear spending money on their hats or belts. On the one hand, it was for decoration, and on the other hand, it could ward off misfortune and protect their health and safety.
