    Most of the currencies circulating in the market today are paper money, and the currencies in circulation in ancient times were copper coins and silver,**. So many people have to compare a tael of silver in ancient times, which is equivalent to how much money we have now, in fact, there is no accurate answer, because the exchange ratio of silver taels in each dynasty is different from the current one. After all, the times are constantly changing, and the purchasing power of money will also decrease or increase, which is very normal, so let me give you a brief introduction, how much is one or two pieces of silver equivalent to now?

    First of all, let's talk about the Tang Dynasty, because the Tang Dynasty is the most valuable dynasty in China's silver, according to ancient records in the Zhenguan period, the material civilization can be said to be very rich. One stone of grain can be purchased for only 5 yuan, and one tael of silver is equivalent to 1,000 yuan, which means that one tael of silver can buy 200 stone of grain. So in the same proportion, one tael of silver is equivalent to more than 4,000 yuan now.

    If we say which dynasty is the least valuable in which silver taels, then we must first mention the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty was arguably one of the least valuable silver taels, and at that time, based on the same price of rice, one tael of silver was only equivalent to 660 yuan today.

    From here, we can see that the value of silver taels between the two dynasties during the Tang Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty was very different, which is also related to the situation of the two dynasties at that time. The Tang Dynasty was a stable, stable, and prosperous dynasty, in which people were generally very rich, and there was no war, then their grain would be very large, and the price of grain would be very low, so that the silver taels would be more valuable. On the contrary, during the Qing Dynasty, people generally had a difficult life, and because they were ethnic minorities.

    The country under its command was very aimed at the Han people in all aspects, which caused the country to be very turbulent, and the grain production was very small, so the silver taels became less and less valuable.

    Taking the Tang Dynasty as an example, silver at that time could be said to be the peak period in the Tang Dynasty, and one tael of silver was equivalent to 1,000 yuan, which could be exchanged for 4,130 yuan if converted to the current equivalent of RMB. In ancient times, peasants and other low-class laborers could earn a maximum of 500 yuan a month.

    In ancient times, a tael of silver was equivalent to 1,000 yuan. The most valuable time of silver was in the Tang Dynasty, and one stone of grain only cost five cents. One tael of silver can buy 200 stone beam food.

    In the Qing Dynasty, one tael of silver could only buy two stones of rice. When the ancients were old, their income was also divided into classes. Most of the peasants' monthly income is 500 yuan, and the monthly income of people living in the city is about one tael or more.

    One tael of silver is one hundred wen, and the labor force of the ancients was generally ten wen a month, which is one-tenth of one tael of silver when converted into silver.

    This kind of money is about 2,000, after all, this can already meet their minimum living expenses for a month. So now it's the same **, it's the income of the poorer.

    According to Grandma Liu, a dream of red mansions, 20 taels of silver is enough for a family for a year, so 1 tael of silver is about 1,000 yuan.

    Because of inflation, the value of a tael of silver was different in different dynasties, and the amount of silver earned each month was also different for different jobs in ancient times.

    The first thing to say is that our country has a long history, and all dynasties and generations are inseparable from money, but the only thing that is certain is that money in ancient times was real gold**.

    Silver, as a currency that has been in circulation for thousands of years, its value in each dynasty is different, silver is relatively lacking in ancient China, the value of one or two silver is very high, don't be fooled by the film and television plot.

    During the Ming Dynasty, a tael of silver was about 800 yuan.

    At that time, the most abundant time of the treasury was the Wanli period, but at that time, the entire treasury was only 2 million taels of silver.

    Interestingly, the prices of goods are different in each dynasty, and the purchasing power of the common people is also different.

    But food is eaten by the common people of every dynasty, so it is most appropriate to measure the value of rice by **.

    However, food is inextricably linked to war.

    In the Song Dynasty, due to the large fluctuation of the war, in the early Song Dynasty, about 30 Wen could buy a bucket of rice, and one tael of silver could buy about four stones of rice.

    During the Song Dynasty, one tael of silver was about 1,500 yuan.

    During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, rice was very cheap, and five wen could buy a bucket, and a thousand wen was one or two silver, which could buy two hundred buckets of rice.

    During the Tang Dynasty, the value of the Tang Dynasty was the highest, about 2,000-4,000 yuan.

    At that time, the Tang Dynasty Jipin official had a monthly salary of 5 stone rice, which means that the monthly salary of junior civil servants in the Tang Dynasty was 1,000 yuan.

    Until the Qing Dynasty, due to the impact of foreign countries, ** depreciated a lot compared to the Ming Dynasty.

    During the Qing Dynasty, a tael of silver was about 200 yuan.

    The annual income of six products is 45 taels, which is about 9,000 yuan a year.

    In addition, the Qing Dynasty also had a system of buying officials, and it took 13,000 taels of silver to buy a daotai, which was equivalent to 3 million to buy a big official.

    If you convert it to today, according to our salary, those who can earn 50 to 100 taels a month are rich people.

    In addition, it was probably during the Ming and Qing dynasties that it gradually entered the Chinese market.

    Zhang Juzheng's "One Whip Law" in the Ming Dynasty was also the first decree that required the common people to pay taxes with **.

    Prior to this, most of the copper plates were circulated in the market, and sometimes people who did business felt that it was inconvenient to do large business, so the Song Dynasty appeared "Jiaozi" and "Feiqian", which were more like today's checks.

    In ancient times, people could earn two pieces of silver a year, depending on which era, one tael of silver was worth about 200 yuan in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, about 700 yuan in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and almost 1,000 yuan in the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty.

    Personally, I think that ordinary people in ancient times might be able to earn a few taels of silver a year, one or two ** is equivalent to about a few thousand yuan now, so the economic development speed at that time was not very fast, so there is no way to compare with modern times.

    Is "one tael of silver" equivalent to how much RMB in ancient times? Calculate how many taels of silver your current monthly income is.

    We all know that the standard of living in ancient times is not comparable with modern times in all aspects, at that time, whether it was food, housing and transportation, there was too much difference between modern times, as people today, we can't help but be curious about the life of the ancients.

    We all know the silver taels that were generally circulated in ancient times, and we often see them on TV, and there are objectively how many silver taels are asked after eating, so do you know how to convert the ancient silver taels with the current money before? How much is a tael of silver?

    In fact, some of the costume dramas staged on TV are deceitful, for example, we see the young master with broad hands, and the rich young lady abolishes the broad hands when she eats and travels, and often ** thousands of taels, even ordinary people have to eat dozens of taels, in fact, this is not the case, according to my information, the country at that time was only a few hundred taels of silver, and the situation of eating dozens of taels will definitely not happen.

    The currency of each dynasty is different, and there is a great disparity in prices. The words silver are what we see in TV dramas, for example, when the Tang Dynasty was at its peak, the people's living standards were very rich, and they didn't have to think about money at all. It can be said that one tael of silver at that time was equivalent to several thousand yuan now, so it was not possible to spend a few taels on a meal in that era.

    In the Ming Dynasty, prices also changed, and the money at that time was not worth much, at that time a tael of silver was equivalent to 600 yuan, and the depreciation of the currency was so big that it was very large! Let's talk about the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty was a very war-torn dynasty, it was quite rich, and the depreciation was not very strong, at that time, thirty yuan could buy a bag of rice, so one or two pieces of silver at that time was about 1,500 yuan!

    By the time of the Qing Dynasty, it can be said that the depreciation of money was very serious, the late Qing Dynasty was extravagant, and the invasion of the Chinese state at that time, the Qing Dynasty would only blindly pay huge indemnities and land to solve, resulting in a very backward economy at that time, the people lived in dire straits, no money to buy things, and the problem of food and clothing could not be solved. One tael of silver is about 200 yuan, and the depreciation is very strong.

    Therefore, the silver taels of each dynasty are not unified, and naturally the corresponding RMB is not the only one, you can calculate separately, your monthly income is a few taels of silver in ancient times.

    In ancient times, a tael of silver was worth more than 600 yuan, and now people can generally earn more than a dozen taels a month, some more, and some people will have less, which is directly proportional to their own strength. Silver became the mainstream currency in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and the purchasing power of one or two silver was different in each period, and the gap was quite large.

    In ancient times, the copper coins used by the common people, 1,000 copper coins were equal to one tael of silver. After all, many ancient people were relatively poor, and they might only have a few taels of silver a month, which is still better.

    The value of silver varied from era to era. Copper coins were common in ancient China, and the silver standard was introduced in the mid-to-late Ming Dynasty, and before the Qing Dynasty, white clouds were hardly used for market transactions. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, silver was circulated in large quantities.

    It can be used to buy daily necessities, and the name itself is quite expensive, and the ability at that time was limited. For various reasons, the price of silver has increased a lot, but because of different regions and different items, the value of silver is still different, regardless of inflation, the highest value of one tael of silver is 1,000 yuan, and the ancient rich only had a few hundred taels of silver a month.

    Silver has the same value as the renminbi, it must be very important for people to live on it to support, hard work is also for him, then like me who has no brains, no IQ, can have a dozen taels of silver a month, it is already very good. The class ability of the ancients was very serious. The rich get a few hundred taels a month, and the poor get a few taels of silver a month.

    Even a month as a soldier is only a few taels, but this is also related to ability. The more money you earn, the more you earn.
