Features: ★16-inch Xuan paper bound with thread, published by Book and Bibliography Publishing House (the house is affiliated with Beijing Library Publishing House, which was officially renamed National Library Publishing House in May 2008) ★Weng collected records from various historical books under each coin entry, making the book's data extremely rich ★It is particularly worth mentioning that Guquan Heka copies all records about ancient coins from the Yongle Dadian into the relevant coin entries. The Yongle Dadian now only exists in 3%, and the section on ancient coins has been preserved thanks to Weng's Guquan Heka. ★Guquan Heka was never published, and its manuscript was collected by Liu Yanting. All existing copies in the world are hand-copied versions, and only a few people had read Weng's book before the Republic of China. The facsimile edition is based on the eight Qing Dynasty manuscript copies preserved in Beijing Library, which is one of the earlier copies among all the hand-copied versions. Guquan Heka (Set of 1-8 volumes) is divided into eight volumes. The first six volumes describe coins from ancient times to the Ming Dynasty, the seventh volume covers other countries and undated items, and the eighth volume includes coins for scattering, auspicious phrases, and lucky charms. Guquan Heka (Set of 1-8 volumes) is relatively rich in data.
