In the Tang Dynasty, how much was one tael of gold? How many coppers is a tael of silver?
The Tang Dynasty had a stable monetary policy, and all currencies were converted into currencies: 10 in decimal.

During the reign of Emperor Gaozu Wude in 62 1 year, Kaiyuan coins were minted, which ended the system of renaming coins by two in Qin and Han Dynasties, created the year number with "Wen" as the unit after Tang and Song Dynasties, and minted copper coins. "Kaiyuan" has the meaning of creation and initiative, and "Bao Tong" is a treasure in circulation. There has been a great breakthrough in the unit of weight. In ancient times, the weighing method of 24 baht was one or two. "Kaiyuan Bao Tong" initiated the decimal system. Each piece weighs two baht, four pieces are one penny, and the accumulated ten pence weighs one or two, that is, ten pence is one or two "to replace baht with money". "Kaiyuan Bao Tong" includes decimal gold, silver and copper. That is, each copper coin is called one point, 100 copper coin is one money, ten pieces are one tael of silver, and twelve taels are one gold. Since then, China's weighing method is no longer based on baht (before the Tang Dynasty, baht was used, and 24 baht was one or two, which was a 24-digit system), but the decimal system of two, money, minutes and minutes was used, in which one money was 3.73 grams, indicating the weight of one money in Kaiyuan Baotong, and ten money in Kaiyuan Bao Tong was equal to one or two.

Kaiyuan Bao Tong was cast in the Tang Dynasty for more than 200 years, which made the monetary system stable for a long time. The money system in the Tang Dynasty, with "Wen" as the unit and money as the unit of weight, lasted for thousands of years until the Qing Dynasty. According to another legend, Tang Gaozu's "Kaiyuan Bao Tong" was written by Ouyang Jian, a calligrapher in the early Tang Dynasty, and is known as a calligraphy coin.
