What is the relationship between money, paper and money in ancient currency?
The ancient currency exchange was different in different dynasties. Take the Qing Dynasty as an example. The standard penny in Qing Dynasty was 6. 1000 pieces of lead, 4 pieces of copper, and one penny was for hanging money or uniform money. Uniform money = 1 two pieces of silver. 10 two silver = 1 two gold.

The exchange rates among copper coins, silver and gold are always changing, just like foreign exchange prices, which are not as clear as 1 yuan equals 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 about 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.

Money, literature, both belong to China's weights and measures. According to historical records, the Yellow Emperor set five measures: degree, quantity, balance, centimetre and mu. Shun summoned the four kings to coordinate the seasons, rhythms and weights and measures of the tribes; Yu Xia used a ruler as a measuring tool, and his own length and weight as the standard of length and weight.

These legends, to some extent, reflect the germination of ancient weights and measures. The real token can be proved by the inscriptions in the Western Zhou Dynasty, which read "Ten Stems of Gold", "Three Stems of Silk" and "Ten Stems of Gold". Gold is copper, and "Jun" and "Jun" are the unit names of measurement. It shows that before or at the same time as the appearance of metal currency, there have been means to measure weight.

1930s, in order to be in line with international standards, unify China's weights and measures system, solve the obstacles brought by the differences of weights and measures in different regions to economic development, and promote economic development, the Nanjing government carried out weights and measures reform. In order to meet the habitual needs of the broad masses of the people, the "Kuping construction system" was reformed into a "market system".

In order to be in line with international standards, it is convenient to convert the "municipal system" into an international standard system. Specially change "a building scale" to "a city scale", which is equal to 33.33 cm = 0.3 m; One kilometer is equal to two cities. Changing "one kilogram" to "one kilogram" equals 500 grams =0.5 kilograms.
