From simple shells and knife coins to later copper coins and gold and silver coins, coins have gradually become an indispensable part of social and economic life. This historical change also reflected the economic, political and cultural changes of ancient Chinese society, which paved the way for later philosophical thought. Secondly, this paper discusses how ancient philosophical thoughts infiltrated into numismatic culture. The ideas of Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism and other philosophical schools are reflected in coins. The Confucian idea of benevolence influenced the ruler's policies behind the coins, the Taoist concept of inaction reflected simplicity and indifference in the production of coins, and the Mohist spirit of universal love was in line with the value of coins as a medium. These philosophical thoughts have given coins a deeper cultural connotation and become a silent propaganda and inheritance. Further, this paper studies the symbolic meaning and philosophical meaning of ancient coins. The patterns, characters and symbols on coins often carry rich symbolic meanings. For example, the appearance of the dragon on ancient coins, as a symbol of power and auspiciousness, echoes the Confucian idea of nobility and the unity of the monarch; The pattern of grain harvest is closely related to the philosophy of Yin-yang and five elements, conveying the value of natural harmony. The interpretation of these symbolic meanings is helpful for us to better understand the ideas and cultural cognition of ancient people. In addition, this paper analyzes the role of ancient coins in ritual and ritual. In ancient China, the ritual system was rigorous and solemn, and coins played an important role in it. The use of coins as gifts highlights their status as a symbol of wealth, and also expresses respect and wishes for the recipient. By studying the use of coins in ritual, we can get a glimpse of the etiquette concept and philosophical thinking of interpersonal relations in ancient society. Finally, this paper discusses the relationship between the ancient view of wealth and coins. Ancient Chinese people's views on wealth were often influenced by Confucianism, Taoism and other philosophical ideas. As a symbol of wealth, coins convey different values: Confucianism emphasizes the proper acquisition and distribution of wealth, Taoism emphasizes the transcendence of material desire, and Mohism advocates the fair distribution of wealth. In this context, coins are not only material wealth, but also the embodiment of philosophical value. To sum up, ancient Chinese coin culture contains a wealth of philosophical thoughts. From the historical evolution of coins, the penetration of philosophical thoughts, symbolic meaning, ritual and ceremony, and the view of wealth, we can deeply understand the cultural concepts and philosophical values of ancient society. This exploration not only provides a new perspective for the study of ancient history and culture, but also helps us better understand the cultural inheritance and development of contemporary society.
