Porcelain, bone-chopstick and hair. More vater, please.

There is less division between early and recent writers on the subject of
cowries used as money in China. According to Joe Cribb "before coins were
invented in China, cowrie shells were used as money. Payments of cowries
as rewards are described in inscriptions on ancient Chinese bronzes of the
second millennium BC. Chinese archaeologists excavating tomb sites of the
Shang period (sixteenth to eleventh centuries BC) have dug up large
numbers of money cowries, often tied together in strings." Note on page 27

Chapter 20, The Far East by Joe Cribb p. 295-311. p 295. From about the
twelfth century BC monetary use was made of

grain,

cloth, animals, (and perfumed sheep)

ornaments and metals,

(the chinese fortune cookue ein, zwei, drei)

(my darling polaris)

While it is really the earth rotating, a flat-earth viewpoint might
reasonably assume that the heavens were rotating. And there is one star
that doesn most functional of which were cowry shells and bronze tools.
The first coins were cast bronze imitations of these monetary objects,
hoes, knives and cowries.

The earliest coins were inscribed imitation hoes issued by
the Zhou kings in the late sixth century BC ..

p 247 "In 1954 B.C. the founder of the Hia Dynasty cast metal implements
which were easy to barter for the relief of his people in distress during
the floods of the Hwang-Ho. Towards the end of the 2nd millennium small
bronze implements in daily use such as hoes, spades and sickles, exchanged
by weight, became a favourite currency. … By the 7th century [B.C.]
knives, sickles, hoes or adzes formed the lower currency in China."

during the night. Polaris seems to be the immobile point around which the
heavens spin, the axis of the universe. There was a tall tree just north
of where I camped, a dead tree that looked as if it had been struck by
lightning in centuries past. I walked around on the mesa until Polaris
stood atop the pinnacle of the tree. Now I had a pointer to the "Axis of
the Universe."

I went back to camp and got my sleeping bag, bringing it back to
this spot, laying it out so that I faced the tree. Whenever I woke up that
night, Polaris was still atop the tree (actually rotating in a tiny circle
around it). But the other stars had shifted quite a lot, seemingly
rotating around that tree top. The handle of the Little Dipper, Ursa
minor, indicated the time, in effect. The "pointer stars" of the Big
Dipper, Ursa major, are even easier to locate, drawing an imaginary
pointer to Polaris. Both handles were like the hour hand of a clock.
