Mianyang Museum Money Tree Special Exhibition.

The images of coins and jade bi are the most common secular themes of money trees. It is said that money trees can reproduce endlessly, attracting people to shake money and make money, and they are inexhaustible. In fact, it is just a virtual dream, but it is indeed a true manifestation of human nature, as well as a yearning for wealth and social status, that is, a yearning for a better life. But in fact, there are many other things on the money tree. The core of the money tree is a fairy world. The mountain-shaped tree seat symbolizes the earth, and the tree pole above represents the sky. Between heaven and earth, the sun and the moon rotate, the stars change, and many secular creatures and gods and beasts enjoy nature. All of this is a response to the observation of nature and the experience of life by ancient people. There is a combination relationship between the money pattern and the nebula on the money tree, especially the light radiated by the money pattern proves that it is a symbol of the sun. Having money means having light, which seems to be another hidden meaning of the money tree. On the money tree, there are also various legendary images of gods, such as the Queen Mother of the West, feather people, rabbit people, sun and moon gods, Suzaku, dragon, evil spirits, Xuanwu, nine-tailed fox, three-legged crow, Buddha, etc., all of which are on stage. At the same time, there are also some real-life tigers, lions, monkeys, horses, sheep, etc., some of which have wings and soar into the sky, becoming alien beasts in the sky. The Queen Mother of the West often occupies some core positions of the money tree, such as the top of the tree body, the center of the leaves, and the tree seat. It is said that Kunlun Mountain is full of Ganoderma lucidum and fairy grass, and there are immortals and spirit beasts everywhere. Youth stays forever and shares happiness. The person who controls the overall situation of Kunlun is the Queen Mother of the West who has supreme power. Therefore, people worship her, hoping to guide the deceased to ascend to immortality and bless the living to be prosperous. Here, I understand why the mountain next to Mianyang Museum is called Fule Mountain. It turns out that Fule Mountain is the area where the most money trees are unearthed. Its implication is actually the dream of wealth and happiness expressed by the money tree.
