Welcome to open the treasures of history.
First, the misuse of silver in costume dramas
In costume dramas, we can often see such a shot: the young man of the jianghu, the young master, eating a meal is a dozen or two pieces of silver, being blackmailed, visiting the Qinglou, buying a house is often going to cost thousands of silver, that throwing a thousand gold dashing shots! Wake up, friends, these are all nonsense, in ancient times, even the emperor may not be able to buy things with so much silver.
Second, how much is one or two pieces of silver equivalent to RMB in the Tang Dynasty?
Taking Tang Kaiyuan's prosperous life as an example, at this time was the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, a bucket of rice only sold for 5 yuan, and one or two pieces of silver were equal to 1,000 copper coins, that is to say, 200 buckets of rice could be bought. 10 buckets for one stone, that is, 20 stones, a stone in the Tang Dynasty is about 53 kilograms, today's general rice price of 3.8 yuan a kilogram calculation, 1 two silver equivalent to 4028 yuan of purchasing power. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, there was inflation, and the price of rice rose from 5 yuan to 10 yuan a bucket, and that one or two pieces of silver were equal to today's 2014 yuan
3. How much is one or two pieces of silver equivalent to RMB in the Ming Dynasty?
Because it involves the problem of ancient and modern time difference, so it can not be converted to the current international market gold and silver prices, and the price of rice, the most reflective of the price index of each era, the change in rice prices can also most affect the price of other products, so the price of rice converted to one or two silver Purchasing power for conversion measurement, the current price of rice according to 3.50 ~ 4.20 yuan per kilogram, take the middle number of 3.8 yuan per kilogram. A stone is measured at 156 pounds, and one or two silver can buy 260 pounds of rice, which is equivalent to 494 yuan. In the Ming Dynasty, the purchasing power of one or two pieces of silver was equal to about 500 yuan today.
4. How much is one or two pieces of silver in the Qing Dynasty equivalent to RMB?
The first forty years of Kangxi's reign. The price of rice is low, a stone of rice is worth five or six hundred copper coins, according to the price at that time, about half two silver. In the next twenty years, the price of rice soared to 800 to 900 yuan and a stone, and the equivalent price of silver also rose to one or two. The weight of a stone of rice in the Qing Dynasty was about 142 pounds today. According to the current ordinary rice price of 1.9 yuan per kilogram, the price of a stone of rice is about 269.8 yuan. According to this calculation, in the first forty years of the Kangxi Dynasty, one or two silver could buy two stones of rice, equivalent to nearly 539 yuan.
Late Qing Dynasty. For example, Deng Shichang, the Beiyang Marine Division, is a deputy general of the Chinese army, and Deng Shichang's annual salary is about 4,000 taels of silver, with a combined annual salary of 800,000. The highest salary of the Beiyang Marine Division is Admiral Ding Ruchang, with an annual salary of 1.6 million yuan, which is also low enough according to the current standard. In the late Qing Dynasty, the value of 1 pair of silver continued to decline by about 200 yuan.
