中国古代黄铜铸钱历史的再验证──与麦克·考维尔等先生商榷戴志强，周卫荣＜编者按＞近年来，大英博物馆的麦克·考维尔、约·克力勃、谢里登·鲍曼对中国古代铜铸币的成分、制做及加工工艺作了比较系统的研究，尤其对中国古代黄铜铸钱史的研究，提出了一些独特的见解。我国学者很重视他们的意见，但也提出了一些不同看法。本刊在发表戴志强、周卫荣两先生的文章的同时，也把英国学者的文章摘编附于其后，供读者参考。１９９１年，在比利时布鲁塞尔召开的第十一届国际钱币学大会上，我们发表了题为“中国历代铜铸币合金成份探讨（ＳｔｕｄｉｅｓｏｎｔｈｅａｌｌｏｙｃｏｍｐｏｓｉｔｉｏｎｏｆｐａｓｔｄｙｎａｓｔｉｅｓｃｏｐｐｅｒｃｏｉｎｓｉｎＣｈｉｎａ）”的论文①，该文依据文献史料和有关实物分析资料，对中国古代用黄铜铸钱的历史引出两点结论：（一）中国自明朝嘉靖年（１５２２～１５６６）起使用黄铜铸钱；在这以前的铜钱基本上是青铜铸币。（二）在黄铜铸钱的初期，即嘉靖、万历年（１５２２－１６１９）一直采用矿炼黄铜（ｃｅｌｎｅｎｔａｔｉｏｎｂｒａｓｓ），即炉甘石点炼黄铜，到天启元年（１６２１）单质锌黄铜，即锌化黄铜（ｓｐｅｌｔｅｒｉｎｇｂｒａｓｓ）才开始用于铸钱
Revalidation of the History of Chinese Ancient Brass Casting Money - Discussing with Mike Cowell, etc. Dai Zhiqiang, Zhou Weirong In recent years, the British Museum’s Michael Cowell, Joel Acropolis, Sheridan Bowman Made a comparatively systematic study on the composition, fabrication and processing technology of ancient Chinese bronze coins, and put forward some unique opinions especially on the study of ancient Chinese brass money-casting history. Chinese scholars attach great importance to their opinions, but also put forward some different opinions. While publishing the articles of Dai Zhiqiang and Zhou Weirong, this magazine also appends the excerpts of British scholars ’essays for readers’ reference. In 1991, at the 11th International Conference of Numismatic Assemblies held in Brussels, Belgium, we published a paper entitled “Studies on the composition of the past dynasties copper derivatives in China”. ① According to the historical documents and relevant physical analysis data, The history of using brass to cast money in ancient China leads to two conclusions: (1) Since the Jiajing years (1522 ~ 1566) in the Ming Dynasty, China used brass for casting money; in the past, the copper coins basically were bronze coins. (B) In the early period of brass casting money, that is, Jiajing and Wanli years (1522-1619) had been using celnentation brass, Copper, the spelled brass, began to be used for casting money
