There were many monetary units in ancient China, and each dynasty was different, especially before Qin and Han Dynasties. Only three basic units are discussed here:
A penny (that is, a standard square hole copper coin)
An ounce or two of silver.
An ounce or two of gold.
Although the above-mentioned units are different in different dynasties and generations, at least there is little difference after the Tang and Song Dynasties, so relatively stable and reliable data can be obtained.
commutation relation
The exchange ratio between copper coins, silver and gold, just like the current foreign exchange price, is constantly changing, unlike 1 yuan is equal to 100.
According to the following description:
"The price of gold and silver rose from 1600 to 1: 8 in the middle and late 20th century, and doubled to 1: 20 by the end of 18."
It is known that 1 gold can be exchanged for about 8~ 1 1 silver.
Once again:
"In the early years of Daoguang, one or two pieces of silver were exchanged for money, that is, one thousand articles; By the time of the Opium War in the 20th year of Daoguang, one or two pieces of silver could be exchanged for sixteen thousand seven hundred pieces of silver. Since Xianfeng, the price of silver has soared, and one or two pieces of silver can be exchanged for as much as 22,300 pieces of silver. "
It is known that under normal circumstances, 1 silver can be exchanged for about 1000~ 1500 copper. Ancient 1 penetration money or 1 hanging money was 1000 copper coins.
Metal price
Because money made of gold, silver and copper has its own value, in theory, the value of money should be equal to the price of metal, so we can answer "how much is a silver?"
In the Tang Dynasty, each Kaiyuan Bao Tong copper coin was 8 cents in diameter, 10 pieces weighed 1 2 pieces, and 1,000 pieces weighed 6 Jin 4 liang. During the reign of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, each copper coin weighed one yuan and twenty-five cents, and then increased to one yuan and four cents, so it weighed eight catties and twelve ounces per thousand articles. In ancient times, although the weight units of "two" were different, they were all about 40 grams, while "Jin" was about 700 grams. The average weight of each copper coin is 5g. The current prices of gold, silver and copper (RMB) are as follows:
Gold: 100 yuan/gram
Silver: 2 yuan/gram
Brass: 0.02 yuan/gram
The calculation results are as follows:
1 two gold: about 4000 yuan.
1 two silver: around 80 yuan.
1 copper coin (1 paper money): about 0. 1 yuan.
1 silver: one or two silver = 10 silver.
1 hanging money: Kangxi recorded that "every two pieces of silver are exchanged for one thousand pieces", commonly known as one hanging. Press Ming? Zhai Cong, his four friends in Liang Jun, said? Shi Ba: "It's thirteen Taoist priests in Japan, and everyone wants money at once." A crane costs thousands of dollars, which means there are thousands of cranes. However, in different places and different periods, the amount of money is not consistent. In old Beijing, one hundred coins or ten coppers were used to make pendants. Therefore, the value of a sling is a brain teaser, and it is difficult to say the exact number. The most accurate answer is sling. Grain price
Many historical monographs directly measure monetary relations through food prices. Although considering food prices alone is not accurate and objective, it should be an extremely important reference.
White rice (stone) is nine yuan and five cents.
White rice (stone) is nine dollars and twenty-six cents.
Rice (stone) is eighty-three cents.

"According to the records of the Ministry of War of the Qing Dynasty, the grain prices of Shuntianfu, Daming House and Xuanhua House in Zhili in the first half of the fifteenth year of Guangxu were calculated based on millet, sorghum and corn, with an average of one, two, four and six cents per warehouse."
According to the calculation of 1 stone = 100 kg =70 kg, and the grain price is calculated by 2 yuan RMB/kg, the following average values can be obtained:
1 two silver: about 170 yuan.
1 copper coin (1 paper money): around 0.2 yuan.
conclusion
According to the above calculation, consider again:
1 the price of gold is more stable than others, and the focus is on.
Now silver has been used as an industrial product, so the reference value of silver price is low.
Due to the rapid development of agricultural technology, the relative price of grain is much cheaper now than in ancient times.
4 Respect the ancient exchange ratio
5 Round to the nearest integer, which is convenient for conversion and perceptual knowledge.
Therefore, the author suggests that it is convenient and wise to adopt the following conversion system when encountering ancient monetary units in the future:
1 two gold = 2000 yuan = 10 two silver.
1 two silver = RMB 200 yuan = 1000 = 1 customs (diao) money.
1 Qian Wen = RMB 0.2 yuan.
In addition: 1 stone rice = 1 two silver.

Question 2: How much was the ancient hanging money 1 silver? There was a shortage of silver in ancient China, and the value of silver was very high. The exchange ratio between copper coins, silver and gold, just like the current foreign exchange price, is constantly changing, unlike 1 yuan is equal to 100. The price of gold and silver rose from 1: 8 around 1600 to1:kloc-0/0 in the middle and late 20th century, and doubled to 1: 20 by the end of 18. It is known that 1 gold can be exchanged for 8- 1 1 silver. In the early years of Daoguang, one or two pieces of silver were exchanged for money, which was a thousand articles; By the time of the Opium War in the 20th year of Daoguang, one or two pieces of silver could be exchanged for sixteen thousand seven hundred pieces of silver. Since Xianfeng, the price of silver has soared, and one or two pieces of silver can be exchanged for as much as 22,300 pieces of silver.
It is known that under normal circumstances, 1 silver can be exchanged for about 1000- 1500 copper. Ancient 1 penetration money or 1 hanging money was 1000 copper coins. Until the end of the Qing Dynasty, a catty of pork (equivalent to 65,438 +0.2 catty) only needed twenty pence, and an acre of fertile land only needed seven or eight taels of silver or twelve or thirteen pieces of silver. A few taels of silver, dozens of taels of silver is a big deal, and one hundred taels of silver is today's big money, which can buy more than ten acres of fertile land.
In the Ming Dynasty, a civilian's life was only one and a half cents a year, so Qi Jiguang's pay was only three cents a day, less than one or two cents a month. It was a little more expensive in the Qing Dynasty, mainly because of the large foreign trade surplus before the Opium War and the decline in the price of silver after a large amount of silver flowed in. Later, after a large amount of compensation, the price of silver and copper rose again. Ordinary people use copper coins. Copper coins were used in the late Qing dynasty, and silver was rarely used in daily transactions. Many ordinary people have never seen silver until they die. Therefore, when there is no money in spoken English, "no copper money" is used instead of "no silver".
Food is the most important thing for the people, and many historical monographs directly measure the monetary relationship through the price of food. "According to the records of the Ministry of War of the Qing Dynasty, the grain prices of Shuntianfu, Daming House and Xuanhua House in Zhili in the first half of the fifteenth year of Guangxu were calculated by millet, sorghum and corn, with an average of one, two, four and six cents per warehouse." White rice (stone) is $9.50, medium white rice (stone) is $ 9.26.83, white? Nine articles on face (gold),
Calculated by 1 stone = 100 kg (currently about 60 kg), the grain price is calculated by 3 yuan RMB/kg, and the following average value can be obtained: 1 two silver: about 180 yuan.
1 copper coin (1 paper money): about 0. 15 yuan. According to the above calculation, considering various factors, rounding is convenient for conversion and perceptual knowledge. It is convenient and wise to adopt the following conversion system for ancient monetary units: 1 two gold = 1800 yuan = 10 two silver.
1 two silver = 180 yuan = 1 000p =1penny.
1 Qian Wen = RMB 0. 18 yuan, 1 Shimi = 1 Liang Yin.
Question 3: How much is an ocean? Before liberation, an ocean was worth 46 yuan, and a dollar was worth 5 copper coins. Ordinary people in the village can earn two tons of money a day by burning charcoal in the kiln in winter. 1930 or so, one copper coin can buy a biscuit and a bowl of braised pork balls, 1944, and two oceans can buy a bag of 46 kg of imported flour.
In the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, five silver coins can buy a big buffalo, and one silver coin can buy a ton of rice. In the late Republic of China, the silver circle was a valley. A silver dollar is equal to 0.80 to 0.90 two silver. If this price is equivalent to the current physical price, the value of one or two pieces of silver should be more than 100 yuan. In the early years of the Republic of China, it was worth about 250 yuan. You can also refer to the price comparison of some hometown. At that time, the price difference across the country may also be great. The price of each dynasty and generation is even more uncertain.
Question 4: How much is the Qing Dynasty 1 two pieces of silver? One silver = 1000 two silver = 1 two silver.
During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, 1 linked money (1000p) was the official "example price", but the actual market exchange ratio (current price) fluctuated constantly. In the Qing dynasty, there was a situation that "silver is expensive and money is cheap", that is, 1000 was worthless.
Question 5: How much is a penny, a pendant of money, a penny of silver, a couple of silver and a couple of gold in ancient times equivalent to today? We often see units that use silver as money in costume dramas, so how much is a piece of silver? I also want to know, so I looked it up on the Internet and got a preliminary answer. However, it is stated here that the author is not studying history, but only making a rough calculation by using the articles about history found on the Internet to gain a perceptual understanding. Basic Unit There were many monetary units in ancient China, which were different in each dynasty, especially before Qin and Han Dynasties. Only three basic units are discussed here: a piece of paper for making money (that is, a standard square hole copper coin), a silver and a gold. Although the units in the past dynasties are different, at least there is little difference after the Tang and Song Dynasties, so relatively stable and reliable data can be obtained. The exchange relationship between copper, silver and gold, like the current foreign exchange price, is constantly changing, unlike 1 yuan equals 100 points. According to the following description: "The price of gold and silver rose from 1: 8 around 1600 to 1: 10 in the middle and late 20th century, and doubled to 1: 20 by the end of 18." It is known that 1 gold can be exchanged for about 8~ 1 1 silver. Then there is: "In the early years of Daoguang, one or two pieces of silver were exchanged for silver, that is, one thousand articles; By the time of the Opium War in the 20th year of Daoguang, one or two pieces of silver could be exchanged for sixteen thousand seven hundred pieces of silver. Since Xianfeng, the price of silver has soared, and one or two pieces of silver can be exchanged for as much as 22,300 pieces of silver. " It is known that under normal circumstances, 1 silver can be exchanged for about 1000~ 1500 copper. Ancient 1 penetration money or 1 hanging money was 1000 copper coins. Metal price Because money made of gold, silver and copper is valuable in itself, theoretically the value of money should be equal to the price of metal, so we can answer "How much is a piece of silver?" In the Tang Dynasty, each Kaiyuan Bao Tong copper coin was 8 cents in diameter, 10 pieces weighed 1 2 pieces, and 1,000 pieces weighed 6 Jin 4 liang.

In ancient times, although the weight units of "two" were different, they were all about 40 grams, while "Jin" was about 700 grams. The average weight of each copper coin is 5g. At present, the price of gold, silver and copper (RMB) is as follows: gold: 100 yuan/gram of silver: 2 yuan/gram of brass: 0.02 yuan/gram. The calculated result is: 1 two gold: about 4000 yuan 1 two silver: about 1 copper coin 80 yuan (/. Zhai Cong, his four friends in Liang Jun, said? Shi Ba: "It's thirteen Taoist priests in Japan, and everyone wants money at once." A crane costs thousands of dollars, which means there are thousands of cranes. However, in different places and different periods, the amount of money is not consistent. In old Beijing, one hundred coins or ten coppers were used to make pendants. Therefore, the value of a sling is a brain teaser, and it is difficult to say the exact number. The most accurate answer is sling. In many historical monographs on food prices, monetary relations are directly measured by food prices. Although considering food prices alone is not accurate and objective, it should be an extremely important reference. Kobayashi found the following record on the Internet: "95 cents for meters (stones)? White rice (stone) is nine dollars and twenty-eight cents? Eight dollars and three cents for rice (stone)? White? According to the records of the Ministry of War of the Qing Dynasty, the grain prices of Shuntianfu, Daming and Xuanhua in Zhili in the first half of the 15th year of Guangxu were calculated on the basis of millet, sorghum and corn, with an average of 124 cents per warehouse. According to 1 stone = 100 kg =70 kg, the grain price is calculated in 2 yuan RMB/kg, and the following average values can be obtained: 1 two silver: about 170 yuan, 1 copper coin (1 paper money).
Question 6: How do you calculate the ancient coins of the Qing Dynasty? Make it clear to me that a few pence is equal to one hanging money, and several hanging money is equal to several taels of silver. There were many monetary units in ancient China, and each dynasty was different, especially before Qin and Han Dynasties. Only three basic units are discussed here:
A penny (that is, a standard square hole copper coin)
An ounce or two of silver.
An ounce or two of gold.

Once again:

In ancient times, although the weight units of "two" were different, they were all about 40 grams, while "Jin" was about 700 grams. The average weight of each copper coin is 5g.
Question 7: How much is a tael of silver in the late Qing Dynasty? In the Qing Dynasty, rice cost one stone, and when it was cheap, San Qian cost two dollars, and you paid three or two or four dollars. Take the average rice price during the drought in the south of the Yangtze River for example. In the Qing Dynasty, one stone was equivalent to 103 liter today, and each liter of rice weighed about 1.75 kg, so one stone of rice was 180 kg at that time. According to today's mid-season japonica rice 65438+ 0.6 yuan per catty, it costs 288 yuan to buy 180 catty of rice. As mentioned earlier, the rice in the south of the Yangtze River in the Qianlong period generally sold for one or two hundred and five yuan per stone, so one or two hundred and five yuan of silver at that time was equivalent to 288 yuan today, that is, one or two silver was equivalent to 192 yuan.
That's about it. 502,000 RMB is equivalent to about 96 million RMB.
Question 8: How much is a string of silver in Qing Dynasty? There were many monetary units in ancient China, and each dynasty was different, especially before Qin and Han Dynasties. Only three basic units are discussed here:
A penny (that is, a standard square hole copper coin)

According to the calculation of 1 stone = 100 kg =70 kg, and the grain price is calculated by 2 yuan RMB/kg, the following average values can be obtained:
1 two silver: about 170 yuan.
1 copper coin (1 paper money): around 0.2 yuan.

Only three basic units are discussed here:
A penny (that is, a standard square hole copper coin)
An ounce or two of silver.
An ounce or two of gold.

Large, so it is possible to get relatively stable and reliable data.
commutation relation
The exchange rate between copper coins, silver and gold is like the current foreign exchange price.

During the 20-year opium war, one or two pieces of silver could be exchanged for 1670 yuan RMB.
A hundred articles. Since Xianfeng, the price of silver has soared, and one or two pieces of silver can be exchanged for two thousand yuan.
There are as many as two or three hundred articles. "
It is known that 1 silver can be exchanged for 1000~ 1500 in general.
Copper coins, commonly referred to as 1 penetration money or 1 hanging money in ancient times, are 1000.
Metal price
Because money made of gold, silver and copper is valuable in itself, in theory, it is money.
The value should be equal to the price of metal, so we can pass the current metal.
The price of answering the question "How much is a silver?"
In the Tang Dynasty, the diameter of each Kaiyuan Bao Tong copper coin was 8 cents, and the weight of each coin was 10/2, which was a thousand words.
Weighing 6 kg and 4 Liang; During the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, each copper coin weighed one yuan, two points and five points, and then it increased.
A penny is four cents, and every thousand articles weigh eight catties and twelve liang. The ancient "two" restatement
Although the location is different, it is about 40 grams, and the "Jin" is about 700 grams.
About. The average weight of each copper coin is 5g.
