Tour of the Chinese Numismatic Museum

Childish

The China Numismatic Museum is a national-level numismatic professional museum directly under the head office of the Chinese Minmin Bank, and visiting and learning there is what numismatic enthusiasts are looking forward to. The Chinese Numismatic Society is attached to the China Numismatic Museum, and as a new member, it is definitely going to visit. No, in early May, I came to the museum, visited Director Wang, and exchanged relevant information on the research of the collection of money and folk money, especially Director Wang put forward many constructive suggestions on the study of folk money, and benefited a lot.

Next, I visited the exhibition held by the museum: "Exhibition of the General History of Chinese Currency". This is the most authoritative, most detailed and most comprehensive Exhibition of Chinese Currency at present, from the beginning of currency, through development, until the end of the Republic of China, with rich pictures and texts, clear context, like a numismatic history, so that you can enjoy it.

The "General History of Chinese Currency" exhibits nearly 3,000 pieces of numismatic objects from the generation of the currency to the first set of renminbi, with a complete system and many rare products, especially the rare products unique to the central bank museum. In order to make up for the small size of the coin and the small amount of intuitive information, the exhibition uses 28 charts, more than 130 historical pictures, 18 historical maps, 6 multimedia video clips and interactive software, making the entire exhibition rich and lively, the exhibition line rhythm is bright, and greatly enhances the knowledge and ornamentation of the exhibition.

The mainland has a history of continuous minting and issuing coins for more than 2,000 years, although coins are small, but the historical and cultural connotations are rich, and a numismatic history is also a Chinese history.

China has a history of continuous monetary development for more than 2,000 years, and the colorful Chinese currency has rich historical and cultural connotations. Since its inception, Chinese currency has carried significant Chinese cultural characteristics and is the source and representative of Oriental monetary culture. The rich monetary thinking in China's history still shines with the light of wisdom and gives us profound enlightenment.

The Haibei of the Shang Zhou Dynasty left a permanent mark on Chinese characters, from knife coins to square hole round coins, from metal coins to paper money, from traditional coinage to mechanism currency, all of which are a reflection of socio-economic and cultural changes. The creation of the red currency and the renminbi under the leadership of the Communist Party of China is a testimony to the course of the Chinese revolution. A history of Chinese currency is also the history of China's social development, the history of civilization progress, the history of dynastic succession, the history of rise and fall and the history of chaos, and the history of technological evolution.

Reading history makes people wise, and only by knowing the past can they learn from the present. The China Numismatic Museum deeply studies and excavates the historical and cultural connotations behind coins, and uses a variety of display methods to tell Chinese history and Chinese stories through numismatic objects, so that the audience can gain an in-depth understanding of the evolution history of China's socio-political, economic and cultural culture for more than 2,000 years through changes in coin materials, shapes, and characters. The China Numismatic Museum has a rich collection of coins from past generations, and as a coin museum of the central bank, it has many unique and rare collections.

"General History of Chinese Currency Exhibition" exhibits more than 2,900 pieces of various material currencies in the past, with a large number of text and background information, which fully reflects the history of China's thousands of years of monetary development, and the audience can have an in-depth understanding of China's monetary history and the history of political, economic, social and cultural development. The China Numismatic Museum has a rich collection of pre-Qin currency, including Qing Dynasty carved mother coins, late Qing Dynasty and Republic of China period mechanism coins, etc. Are the unique advantages of the China Numismatic Museum as a central bank museum. The basic exhibition renovation of the China Numismatic Museum fully takes into account the different needs of the audience, I believe that ordinary audiences can learn a wealth of historical knowledge here, and coin lovers can also witness exquisite rare coins and open their eyes.

Ancient money is like a spring, with a long history. The general history is displayed at a glance.

On May 18, 2021, under the guidance of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, the China Museum Association and the China Cultural Relics Newspaper sponsored the final evaluation results of the 18th (2020) National Museum Top Ten Exhibitions And Exhibition Promotion Activities, and the "General History of Chinese Currency Exhibition" launched by the China Numismatic Museum won the "National Museum Top Ten Exhibition Exhibition Promotion" Excellence Award.
