A few more coins and ingots lie among the roots, and each coin has a raised rim and a stamped pattern across its face. Glitter in green, blue, and soft pastel flecks drifts through the water when you tilt or turn the globe, and the tree stays fixed at the center while it moves around it. Below, the base is rounded and bound at the shoulder with twisted gold-toned rope, and the dark bronze finish shows lighter wear in the raised parts, so the gold-toned details stand out against it. Boat-shaped ingots are set into its sides, modeled on the sycee, or yuanbao, that served as gold and silver money in imperial China, and scrolling motifs and a crescent run between them. At the front is a coin medallion with four characters arranged around its square hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- \/wp:paragraph --\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003c!-- wp:paragraph --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eTrees hung with coins have a long history in Chinese culture. Chinese legend describes a money tree, yaoqianshu, as a sacred tree that sheds coins when shaken, and cast-bronze money trees have been excavated from Han dynasty tombs in Sichuan, where branches carry coins beside figures from the paradise of immortals. The motif returns at Chinese New Year, when money trees are among the customary decorations; by one description of the custom, a New Year money tree is a bushy pine or cypress branch in a pot, hung with gold and silver coin garlands. The coins and ingots on this globe come from the same vocabulary. Cash coins were cast from the Warring States period until 1912, and the round shape with a square hole later carried over to good luck charms and decorations, while sycee remain a symbol of wealth and prosperity at New Year festivities today. The maker sells the globe as a feng shui piece, a practice in which a golden money tree stands for wealth and abundance.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- \/wp:paragraph --\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003c!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"\u003ePractical Display and Ritual Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- \/wp:heading --\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003c!-- wp:paragraph --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eSet the globe on a desk where you pay bills, on a bookshelf near your budget binder, or on an entry table where you will see it as you come and go. For a Lunar New Year display, place it among other seasonal decorations. Gold and bronze tones sit well against dark wood, so a walnut desk or a black shelf shows the coins best. On an abundance altar it makes a central image, with candles in separate holders, coins, or a green and gold cloth; the arrangement belongs to your own practice. It also works as a gift for someone starting a business or a new job, a nod to a symbol of prosperity.
