4 thoughts on “Is the ancient emperor's "bounty thousands of bounty", is it really 100 pounds of gold? How much is the ancient "Two Two"?”

  1. The "Golden Thousands Two" mentioned in the TV series alone is inconsistent, and for this problem, we must separate the "Golden Thousand Two". It is necessary to explain the definition of the two words "gold" and "thousands of two".

    It explains the definition of gold in ancient times that many people believe that ancient gold is made of copper because the appearance of copper is yellow and gold is called gold. This statement is still appropriate in the spring and autumn, because the "gold" of the spring and autumn is probably copper, and the gold at that time has not yet become popular. However, the "gold" that said from the Warring States Period to the Eastern Han Dynasty was already the real gold. It should be noted that most of the gold at that time made a horseshoe -shaped and cake -shaped, each of which was the weight of "a pound".
    The weight of the golden cakes and horseshoe gold now is about 258 grams, and 258 grams is the weight of a pound of the Han Dynasty. One piece of golden cake is almost a pound, that is, one gold.
    The example: In ancient times, Han Xin gave a thousand golds, and it was given a thousand pieces of gold cakes. If it was explained as a thousand golden copper, Han Xin was embarrassed to take out; It is stipulated that "those who can northern gates give fifty gold", that is, fifty gold cakes. If you say that a gold is actually copper, it is estimated that Shang Yang will kill you.
    But in some places, the golden gold is called "one gold", and this 镒 is twenty -two, which is much higher than "a pound".
    This after the Eastern Han Dynasty, there are fewer gold on the market. Look at historical records. If there is a reward is gold, it will basically say "a thousand bounty". Saying the money in "Reward 100,000 yuan" is our usual copper coins, which is mainly the government's promotion. So let's look at "Mi Gui, one thousand dollars", "jewelry worth 700,000 yuan", etc. The one here is equal to a text, which is a copper coin.
    One thousand texts (money) is consistent, also called a hanging. After the Yuan Dynasty, silver was popular, and it could be exchanged with each other.
    "Lang official Fengqiu, the richest family, buying a jade cricket for his wife, superb, worth 700,000 yuan", this 700,000 at first glance will be scared. two. One or two gold and one or two silver exchanges can be exchanged for four or five, and sometimes more than ten or two. If you have to be strictly converted, the twelve silver can be about one or two gold.
    The first Li Zicheng wanted to catch Emperor Chongzhen, and the first told to appreciate the bounty of thousands. This "two thousand" is the measurement unit. Will only reward people with a thousand two copper plates.
    The point of explaining the Qing Dynasty, if only "gold" is said, it is silver, which is a record from literati notes. "Clear Banknotes": Deducting leaves are the end, and they are mixed with flower dew. The dozens of gold mentioned in it is dozens of silver, not gold, it is impossible to be a copper plate. If it is bought by dozens of copper plates, noble people will not be used as a gift.
    In comprehensive mentioned above, the ancient "gold" said that copper is wrong. The "gold" of spring and autumn can be interpreted as copper, but the "gold" of Qin and Han is the gold. The "two" units in the later increase of the unit must be gold. If it is "twenty -five dollars in bounty", it is silver, and the "gold" here refers to silver. Later from the late Qing Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, "one gold" refers to a silver.
    So ancient gold must be analyzed from the age and archeological plus literature. Many books are called "gold" of Qin and Han Dynasty.
    It, "Thousands of Two", this unit has great achievements in ancient times. When the emperor was happy, he would reward golden and two or two, but in ancient times with low productivity, there were so many golds to provide rewards.
    First look at the ancient weight evolution:
    Qin and Han Dynasty: a pound of about 258.24 grams, about 16.14 grams of one or two
    About 13.92 grams
    -in the early Sui Dynasty: a pound of about 668.19 grams, about 41.76 grams of one or two
    The end of Sui: about 222.73 grams per catty, about 13.92 grams of one or two One or two 37.30 grams
    The can be converted with the above weight.
    Under the product of ancient times, how much national revenue is income every year, and how many golden like the emperor will reward thousands of gold on the emperor on TV. There are very few people who have a bounty in history, let alone thousands of thousands of people. Few emperors are so luxurious, and not many people have this glory.
    Basically, the emperors rewarded those who have achieved meritorious copper or silver, not as exaggerated as TV performances. In ancient times, the two thousands of gold and thousands of people may have them in history, but those emperors on TV just reward them for thousands of gold. That's just to settle the atmosphere of film and television.
    The summary, don't be deceived by TV.

  2. "Bounty Bounty" is not a hundred pounds of gold. The ancient metallurgical technology was immature, and the "gold" here refers to the currency circulating at that time. The ancients of ancient times were equivalent to the current thirty pounds.

  3. For example, in the Han and Tang dynasties, a pound can be converted into 16 two, and Qin's half two dollars. One pound is similar to the current 250 grams. In this way, the bounty is about thirty pounds.
