Imperial Pentad Coins

Cosmic Symbolism of Coin Design
The copper coin’s outer circle symbolizes Heaven, while its inner square represents Earth, with the reign title at the center embodying Humanity. This structure achieves the trinity of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity, granting it the power to harmonize cosmic energies.

Five Elements Alignment
The Five Emperor Coins correspond to the Five Directions and Elements:

Shunzhi (North, Water) → Kangxi (East, Wood) → Yongzheng (Center, Earth) → Qianlong (West, Metal) → Jiaqing (South, Fire).

Temporal Energy Cycle
The emperors’ combined 180-year reign subtly aligns with Feng Shui’s "Three Cycles & Nine Periods" system, forming a complete cosmic energy circuit.

Philosophical Essence
Through this "Three Powers and Five Elements" symbolism, individual destiny is embedded within the grand cosmic order.
