Preface:

1916, to us today, has become rather unfamiliar and distant. In this year in Europe, World War I was ruthlessly ongoing with no sign of peace; in China, Yuan Shikai's dream of becoming emperor shattered completely, and the Beiyang warlords divided and declared independence, brutally lifting the curtain on a chaotic era. Time flies, and 95 years later, we look back at 1916, but our focus is not on the chaotic political situation, but on the eternal cultural level; our eyes are not on Beijing, but on Huzhou. Because in this year, Huzhou gave birth to the famous ancient coin collector Mr. Chen Danong. He will take 1916 as the starting point, outlining a collection curve spanning centuries. Although this curve has many turning points, it continues to extend forward without stopping...

Prince Keqin was one of the twelve "Iron Hat Princes" of the Qing Dynasty, whose ancestors established great merit during the founding of the Qing Dynasty and were thus ennobled. Throughout the Qing Dynasty, there were 13 generations, with 16 people receiving the title.

Review:

Mr. Chen Danong is first and foremost a collector, his ancient coin collection is exquisite, and he has made significant achievements in the study of ancient coins; secondly, he is a long-lived person, a venerable elder in the world of collections, and also a witness to a century of history; he is also a benevolent person, integrating life insights into the collection cause, and religious sentiment permeates beyond the cultural domain.

Yixin at the Xisai Mountain

In memory of the famous ancient coin collector Mr. Chen Danong

"White egrets fly before the Xisai Mountain, peach blossoms flow with fat mandarin fish. Green bamboo hats, green straw raincoats, oblique winds and fine rain need not return."

This is "Fisherman's Song" by the famous Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Zhihe. With just a few words, he vividly portrays the beautiful scenery of Xisai Mountain and the poet's leisurely elegance [calligraphy and painting wholesale], leaving a lasting impression even after a thousand years. Xisai Mountain is located in Huzhou, as if it contains a natural rhythm, waiting for poets to come here, meet eye to eye, and compose timeless songs.

The extraordinary mountains and waters of Xisai Mountain endow Huzhou with lasting cultural connotations, opening up an elegant cultural path for Huzhou. Many literati walk on it, their steps calm and solid, their expressions transcendent and graceful. The poetry of Jiaoran, the tea of Lu Yu, the calligraphy of Zhao Mengfu, and the paintings of Wang Meng are like cultural landmarks, guiding Huzhou forward.

Since ancient times, collecting and culture have been closely intertwined, mutually supporting each other. Culture is the source of collecting, and collecting is the driving force behind culture. When Huzhou's cultural undertakings reach the heights of Xisai Mountain, Huzhou's collection business also surges like the waves of Taihu Lake. In the past, Jiaye Tower became famous for its rich collection of books, extending Huzhou's tradition of collecting even further. Today, a large number of Huzhou collectors continue the path of their predecessors while exploring new ways, making greater strides and creating a new situation for Huzhou's collections. Here, we must mention Mr. Chen Danong, who was born in Huzhou at the beginning of the last century. He has experienced countless life legends, persisted in collecting for more than 70 years, enduring hardships and remaining steadfast. Now nearing a hundred years old, he still retains his enthusiasm, continuing to strive hard in the field of collecting. His collection focuses mainly on ancient coins, with over 4,000 pieces, covering all types, and including many rare items, leaving people in awe.

In terms of age, Chen Danong can be considered a veteran in the world of collecting; in terms of collections, he is certainly a leader. He calls himself "Xisai Spring Elder," enjoying life and cultivating longevity under the Xisai Mountain, savoring life; he sits surrounded by precious coins, writing everlasting legends by the shore of Taihu Lake.
