We often see a scene from the film and television drama about history, this scene is that in ancient times, after eating in a restaurant, people put down a piece of silver as money for wine and vegetables. From this we know that in ancient times, the items we used to buy things as payment were silver. However, we see in the play that the rich and noble people's homes are a whole box of silver, and so much silver is basically rarely seen now.
The following profession is that archaeologists give us the answer. First of all, in ancient times, there were still many poor people, occupying a large part, the phenomena in film and television dramas are basically exaggerated, and some particularly poor families basically can't see the existence of silver, so its stock is not very much, even if it is only gathered in the homes of officials and eunuchs. On average, there are not many below each person.
The second is that the ancients liked to put valuable things in his coffin after the death of his family, so that a lot of silver was buried in the depths of the land with the deceased. With the passage of time, the underground is also constantly changing and moving, so many coffins have been moved to a deep place underground by underground movement, basically there is no chance of digging it out again, so the amount of existence is greatly reduced.
Finally, this is what makes us most unacceptable. We all know that the mainland has been seized by various countries in the past, after all, silver is valuable no matter where it is, so a large part of the money in ancient times has been robbed by others, which has led to the fact that we basically rarely see these ancient money.
Xiaobian believes that no matter what the reason, silver is an important part of our history, and we must take this history as a warning and love our country. Do you think there are any other reasons?
What do you think about that?
