coins are actually the medium for purchasing goods, and they may not have been called coins in the past. It is estimated that the name of each period is different. After reading the complete currency history, we have a great understanding of the culture of 5,000, of course, it is just an understanding of historical development. Because our currency has great changes in material, it may have been stone before, followed by , shell coins , and then , copper coins , paper money, silver coins, gold coins, nickel coins, iron coins, etc. From the changes in these materials, it is not difficult to see our social development and the development of science and technology.
For example, the metals were extracted from the ore by our ancestors with wisdom, and the shape of the coins has been changing. Whether the equipment here also needs to be manufactured by people to know that the changes in the material are closely related to the demise and rise of dynasties. For example, in the Stone Period, we used stone as the main material. Later, when we entered the era of cold weapons, we mainly focused on iron and copper. Then, afterwards, the emergence of the Song Dynasty, we had paper money. Just from the material, we can simply understand the history of our country's development. Moreover, coins are the best able to record the historical development process of our country, and the same is true in terms of history and culture. Every period will write the most understandable culture on coins, so that everyone can understand the words at that time, even those who have not read books can understand them.
And generally the fonts we see on coins are the most popular fonts at that time and the best calligraphy at that time. You can see the history and culture of the time from the coins, and you can get a glimpse of the whole picture. Also, the later dynasties will reform coins. If we know coins well, we can correctly know what happened at that node and thus understand this history. For example, if we know the difference in shape, we know that the period of Beicoin is , Shang Dynasty is used more frequently, Dao coins is Warring States period , ring coins are the Qin Dynasty, and Bu coins and so on will have different changes in each period. If there is any change, one dynasty will destroy another dynasty and rise.
Also, we can understand from the year number of the coins, which period the emperor was, what the year number was, what his reign was, how many years he has been in power, so this can also make me remember a dynasty very well. A small coin often records the most real historical story. This is a history that cannot be fake. After all, this kind of history is a history engraved on the coins. It is not that person who can destroy it without too much modification. It is the most complete history. It is a silent record from the beginning to the end. If it is not issued that year, it is very likely that the dynasty will disappear.
There are also many countries in a period, but each country has different currencies, and we can easily remember them. After all, their year names are different, and the fonts on them are different. It is very interesting to learn from a small coin the development of history, science and technology, culture, and the wisdom of the ancients. At the same time, I hope everyone can learn what they want from coins. Whether it is design culture or other things, I think a small coin can carry more things.
