The ancients often said: "But when it comes to family affairs, either the east wind suppresses the west wind, or the west wind suppresses the east wind." "Two people form a family, in the family the relationship between men and women can not be explained through words, when discussing family choices, some families will listen to the woman, there will be a family to listen to the man, this is not absolute.

Scenes of the family life of ancient prince-level figures
preface:
In many Chinese families, economic power is often in the hands of women, which leads to the fact that many men must obtain the consent of their wives if they want to buy what they like.
But what if you want to go shopping without your wife? So the men began to divide their property, one part of which was given to their wives for safekeeping, and the other part was hidden in their own small vault, which they could take out when needed.
▲ Vault
So where should men hide their money when they hide small vaults? Generally men will hide their private money in a more secret place at home, such as in the water tank of the toilet, or under the pillow, but once it is discovered, then in exchange for a family war, so hiding private money is also a science.
In ancient times, there was a man who hid his private money very secretly, not only hiding his wife, but even the archaeologists of the descendants did not find it at the first time.

The history of wood carving
China's various eras have their own characteristic cultural relics, neolithic wood carvings still exist on the market, wood carving technology in the Qin Dynasty has been widely developed, and even during the Tang Dynasty, China's wood carving technology was exported to foreign countries.
During the Ming Dynasty, because Zhu Yuanzhang had been a monk, the image of wood carving was generally a monk and an arhat.

Inside the wood carving, there are surprise banknotes
China once experienced a humiliating history in which foreign powers ruthlessly invaded China and plundered many of China's native cultural relics back to their own countries.
In 2016, melbourne's Mussekel Auction was preparing to auction a Chinese Ming Dynasty wood carving, and on the eve of the auction, according to the regulations, the wood carving itself was scanned, and people were surprised to find that the head of the wood carving was empty.
▲Daming pass treasure banknote
People have explored the head of the wood carving one step further, and were surprised to find that the head of the wood carving was placed in ancient Chinese banknotes, and the words "Daming Pass Treasure Banknote" were printed on the top of the banknote.
Finally, expert research showed that the banknotes and wood carvings belonged to an era, which may have been stored in the ancestral hall of the extended family.
The origin of the Daming Treasure Banknote
According to the book, the Daming Treasure Banknote belongs to the only paper money officially issued during the Ming Dynasty Zhu Yuanzhang period, and with the development of paper money, people no longer use gold and silver for trade. But then came inflation, and the paper money depreciated repeatedly, and finally the paper money could only be exchanged for 500 copper plates.
Due to the depreciation of paper money, paper money was officially parked during the Zhengde years, so there are very few paper money that remains. The maximum amount of banknotes found in wood carvings at that time was 1,000 copper plates.

This money may be a small amount for large households, but for ordinary households, it is also a few months of food expenses.
The owner of this wood carving did not find the mystery when collecting this wood carving, and it turned out that these banknotes were folded into a size of only 2.5 centimeters and stuffed on the head of the wood carving, which can be seen that ancient men spent a lot of energy when hiding money in their private rooms. I am also curious that no one has found it for more than 600 years!
