In China's modern history, the silver dollar has always been the main currency in circulation, and the most representative silver coin is the "ocean".
And the ocean, which symbolizes social changes, can be converted into how many renminbi can its legendary figure be converted into in the calculation of days after days?
First, the fortunate ** silver dollar ocean.
With the success of the Xinhai Revolution, China ushered in the historical event of the change of dynasties, and the years that followed began to change and fluctuate.
After China's succession to the imperial system, the silver dollar served as a powerful circulating currency to support the people's lives.
Although China's silver dollar chose to continue, but its pattern content has undergone earth-shaking changes, the most representative silver dollar style is the Beiyang ** casting "Yuan Datou".
At that time, the people of the country were able to feast on this silver dollar, or even longer, so you can imagine how important the silver dollar was to the public at that time.
As a currency, the most important feature of the silver dollar is that it can be circulated, but given its high value, the silver dollar needs to be used with special caution.
Not only that, when the silver dollar circulated to a certain extent, there was a more smaller, easy-to-carry and easy-to-preserve copper dollar, and the copper dollar became more and more popular with the public.
Once upon a time, when the copper dollar became the mainstream currency, the silver dollar gradually faded into the public eye.
With the passage of time, the appearance of China's silver dollar has changed again, and Yuan Shikai's silver dollar has also been replaced, until it is cleared, and people have gradually forgotten this classic that has been passed down for a hundred years.
2. The historical value of the ocean.
With the passage of time, the value of the ocean has gradually become prominent, especially the history it carries, and its cultural significance cannot be ignored.
Although the ocean was only a currency at that time, it witnessed the rise and fall of a country and the changes of society.
Even now, the significance of the ocean is not only a tool for bookkeeping, but also a cultural relic and a historical memory.
As we all know, with the passage of time, the value of the collection has become more and more prominent, especially in the precious silver coins, the figure of the ocean is more and more sought after by collectors and collectors, through the ocean, people seem to be able to understand the social scene and the truth of the people's life.
Of course, there is no lack of market interests in the ocean, as the collection value of the ocean is getting higher and higher, there are also some people who set their sights on the ocean, trying to make huge profits through the ocean, but the scarcity is expensive, as a historical boutique, the value of the ocean can not be measured by money.
3. The circulation value of the ocean.
The historical value of the ocean is indisputable, but there is no doubt that the circulation value of the ocean at that time should not be underestimated.
At that time, the ocean was a common silver coin in the lives of the people, and its value was also comparable to other silver coins, but because the production of the ocean was larger, its circulation range was also more extensive.
Judging from the historical record, the silver content of the ocean in the ** year was 44%, that is, the silver content of an ocean was about 9 taels, and the silver price at that time was also relatively stable, and the purchasing power of the ocean was also considerable.
However, it is worth mentioning that the economic situation at that time was not all smooth sailing, especially later with the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, China also fell into a period of turmoil, and the value of the currency was also constantly fluctuating, which eventually led to the continuous decline of the purchasing power of the ocean.
As the silver coin with the largest circulation that year, Dayang was also everywhere, whether it was buying vegetables and meat, or paying rent and paying debts, Dayang could solve the livelihood problems of the people at that time.
It is a pity that the market was not in a recession that year, especially the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the lives of many people were seriously affected, and eventually led to a sharp decline in the purchasing power of the ocean.
The author thinks. It is not difficult to see from the ocean that the development and change of currency has always been closely related to the changes of the times, and the ocean also embodies the hard sweat and labor fruits of hundreds of people.
From the historical value of the ocean to the lives of the people it represents, and then to the historical changes it reflects, we can find that as a coin, the value of the ocean is far more than the silver content itself, but also the history, culture and emotions behind it.
Today, the ocean is history, but its story is indelible in our hearts.
Looking at the current society, our perception of the ocean and the way we calculate it are also diverse according to different personal positions and goals.
For different groups of people, the value contained in the ocean is also different.
However, from a comprehensive point of view, the most intuitive embodiment of the ocean is its rich and colorful historical connotation and cultural and artistic value.
It is believed that with the continuous progress of society, the figure of Dayang will surely glow with new brilliance and bloom with new value.
