How were ancient Chinese monetary units converted?

1 tael gold = 3,000 RMB.

1 tael of silver = 1 copper coin = 300 yuan.

1 copper coin = yuan.

1. In ancient times, the exchange of currency usually refers to the exchange between copper coins, **, **, and the exchange ratio is not fixed, and there will be certain changes in each period, and the approximate exchange ratio is about:

10,000 copper coins = ten guan (hanging) copper coins = ten taels** = one tael**.

2. The current currency has basic units such as "cents, angles, yuan, hundreds", and the ancient currency also has basic units: "Wen, Guan, two", that is, a literary system of money (that is, a standard square hole copper coin), consistent copper coins, one or two **, one or two **.

And "ingot" is not used as a basic unit of exchange, because "ingot" was used as a measure word in ancient times, such as a ingot**, which means a piece**.

The ancient currency conversion is as follows:

1000 copper coins are consistent or hanging, always one tael**, 10 taels** is one tael**.

This is a general conversion, the conversion of specific dynasties is different, but the difference is not big, such as the Song Dynasty and the late Ming Dynasty, a large outflow of copper coins, resulting in a small amount of domestic copper stocks, and **** as an official currency or from the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Ancient money refers to money that is historically valuable compared to modern money. With the continuous development of society and the increase of surplus goods, people gradually relied on each other, received other goods, and needed to export their surplus goods, which was the earliest ancient currency as an intermediate medium.

The system of weights and measures in ancient China was extremely chaotic. There are differences between different dynasties, and there are differences between different regions of the same dynasty.

Copper coins, the exchange ratio between ** and ** is like the current foreign exchange**, which is often changing, not as clear as 1 yuan is equal to 100 cents. The ratio of gold and silver to silver doubled from 1:8** around 1600 to 1:10 in the mid and late 20th centuries, and to 1:20 by the end of the 18th century.

In the early years of Daoguang, one or two ** were exchanged for money and one hanging, that is, one thousand Wen, and when Daoguang was in the 20th year of the Opium War, one or two ** could be exchanged for 1,6700 Wen. Since Xianfeng, the price of silver has risen sharply, and one or two ** can be exchanged for two thousand two or three hundred wen. Under normal circumstances, 1 tael ** can be exchanged for about 1000 to 1500 copper coins.

Under normal circumstances, one tael can be exchanged for eight to eleven taels; One or two ** can be exchanged for about 1,000 to 1,500 copper coins. In ancient times, it was usually said that consistent money or a hanging of money was a thousand Wen.

1 tael** = RMB 2000 = 10 taels**.

1 tael** = RMB 200 = 1000 Wen Qian = 1 Guan (hanging) money.

1 Wen Qian = RMB Yuan.

In addition: 1 stone meter = 1 tael **.

According to the inference, the current RMB ** can be roughly converted as follows: one tael ** is equal to RMB, and 2000 yuan is equal to 10 taels**. It is equal to 1000 wen yuan is equal to 1 guan money, and 1 wen yuan is equal to RMB yuan.

Ancient money refers to currency that is historical, valuable, and exchangeable compared to modern money. With the continuous development of society and the increase of surplus goods, people gradually became dependent on each other, received other goods, and needed to export their surplus goods, which was the earliest ancient currency as an intermediate medium. The system of weights and measures in ancient China was extremely chaotic.

There are differences between different dynasties, and there are differences between different regions of the same dynasty.

Ancient currency refers to the relative to modern money, with historical, valuable, exchangeable currency, the continuous development of human society, with the increase of surplus goods, people gradually rely on each other, receive other items, need to export their own surplus goods, this is the earliest ancient currency as an intermediate medium.

China's ancient monetary system, unlike other countries, did not have any standard system, and there was no distinction between the main currency and the vice-currency, often gold, silver, copper, grain, silk and later paper money all exercised the function of currency to varying degrees at the same time, but in different historical periods each had its own emphasis. The monetary systems of various dynasties were also very inconsistent, and even different periods and regions of a dynasty had various changes and differences, which are difficult to describe.
