The Republic of China period was a very chaotic period, in addition to the warlord melee, it was also a period of great outbreak of national thought, and a number of outstanding scholars such as Guo Moruo and Hu Shi emerged, of course, the most famous is Lu Xun, who "bowed down to the cattle of the widow". According to incomplete statistics, There are many enemies of Lu Xun in history, all of which are based on Lu Xun's "scolding" skills, and in the confrontation during the Republic of China period, it seems that Lu Xun has always had the upper hand. In the dynasty at that time, the people likened Lu Xun to a beam of light in the darkness, after all, he used all his life's strength to open the window of light and save tens of thousands of people. Based on this social status, Lu Xun's salary at that time could reach about 350 yuan per month, how much was such an amount converted into rmb? Let's take a look.
Lu Xun in the Republic of China period, in his early years to study medicine in Japan, experienced all kinds of social things, so he began to turn around and devote himself to literary creation. At the beginning of the 20th century, Lu Xun returned to China and became a lecturer at a certain college. Because the Qing Dynasty in the early 20th century had not yet perished, Lu Xun's salary was not high at first, and he even had to spend his own savings to subsidize, and this day lasted until the fall of the Qing Dynasty, and Lu Xun's life ushered in a change.
After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the newly established Government of the Republic of China also increased investment in education in order to change the backward appearance of the country, and it was at this time that Lu Xun's salary began to gradually rise. At that time, in the period of chaos among the major warlords, in order to get more support, the local warlords began to win over the private teachers, Lu Xun also began to wear multiple positions from this time, and the salary at that time could get about 350 yuan of ocean, which was already a huge amount of money at that time. However, the warlord rule is only a blip, so most of the wages promised before have not been fulfilled, but Lu Xun's 350 yuan of ocean per month, combined with productivity and other factors, if converted into yuan, how much is it?
As we all know, the most on the street during the Republic of China is the rickshaw, according to relevant information, the monthly salary of the rickshaw driver at that time was about 2 oceans, if you encounter a large amount, you may even be rewarded with 1 ocean, plus this situation, then the salary of a coachman we calculate according to 5 oceans, that Lu Xun's monthly 350 oceans, is 70 times their salary, which shows the high salary of Lu Xun.
We add a very realistic factor, the Republic of China period of 5 oceans, almost can meet the needs of a family to eat and drink Lasa, according to the current stage of living conditions, a family of monthly living expenses we according to 1,000 yuan to calculate, then Lu Xun's salary of 350 oceans at that time, equivalent to substitution, there are as many as 70,000 yuan, which even if it is put now, it is also a high-salary existence.
However, such a salary level does not seem to be high, after all, Mr. Lu Xun's fame at that time was on the one hand, coupled with the responsibility of teaching and educating people, his high salary is also understandable. If according to this algorithm, many people may have doubts, then we look at Mr. Lu Xun's salary in another way, and use the gold equivalent method to recalculate it.
During the Republic of China period, in addition to the ocean, gold was also a manifestation of wealth. At that time, 1 pair of gold could be exchanged for 40 pieces of ocean, and those 1 two equaled 50 grams. And 1 gram of gold is about equal to 0.8 oceans, and 1 gram we calculate according to 300 yuan, that 350 oceans, that is 130,000, so in comparison, Lu Xun's monthly salary of 350 oceans is indeed a high-paying job, so we see Mr. Lu Xun in the data, can later buy a set of courtyards in Beijing, such a thing is naturally not strange, what do you think about this?
