This is a Chinese protective coin used to enhance status and provide shelter for revenge. Both sides of this coin record Chinese idioms, which are also historical stories. This coin carries our beliefs in status, wealth, glory, and revenge through specific historical figures and stories, which is more direct and powerful.
“Rising rapidly in the official career” is a Chinese idiom, originating from “Biographies of Fan Sui and Cai Ze” in “Records of the Grand Historian”. It is said that during the Warring States period, Fan Sui was framed by his colleagues but managed to escape death. Later, he took the alias Zhang Lu and became the prime minister of the State of Qin. Subsequently, when his former enemy saw him again, he not only had to kneel and admit his fault but also lamented that Fan Sui could “climb above the clouds through his own efforts”. “Rising rapidly in the official career” not only refers to a smooth career and rapid promotion but also implies a leap in life after breaking through adversity. At the spiritual level, the wearer can use its energy field to break through real-life obstacles and stimulate inner potential.
“Being made a marquis and a prime minister” is also a Chinese idiom, first appearing in the Yuan Dynasty opera “Appreciating Chrysanthemums in the Eastern Grove”. “Marquis” is a noble. In the Chinese noble system, it is at the second level, which can be either a war noble or a court noble. However, in this idiom, “being made a marquis” only refers to becoming a noble and enhancing one’s status, not actually rising to the second level. “Prime minister” is the peak of the civil official system in Chinese history. Interestingly, in other coins, monkeys are often used to replace “marquis” and elephants are used to replace “prime minister” because their pronunciations are the same.
“To be, or not to be: that is the question: Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer. The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them?”
Combining “Rising above the clouds” with “Being made a marquis and a prime minister” means a rapid promotion in status and position at the spiritual level, and it also represents countering those who once bullied and despised oneself through one’s own improvement. Enduring and enhancing oneself, rapidly improving one’s ability and status, and finally defeating the enemy in all aspects such as status and money are common human emotions, just like the famous saying of Hamlet., To be, or not to be: that is the question: Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them?”
