Some friends asked: the prototype of the ancient Chinese bank
(Money, Silver, Ticket)
The currency storage business is not developed, there are not many outlets, so it is not convenient, so let me ask: how did we Chinese ancients save money?
The answer is: in ancient times, Chinese mainly hid their savings in three places:
Hiding point one: the cellar.
Yes, simply put, it is buried under the ground, and the usual practice is to dig a pit in your own home, and then bury gold, silver, copper coins, and the entrance to this pit is covered up, and only you know. Our Chinese idiom "There is no silver in this place for three hundred and two" actually shows that in ancient times, our ancestors hid money underground, which was a common behavior.
In addition, in our archaeological work, we often dig up a lot of copper coins, this kind of thing is usually because the person who hid the money died suddenly and unexpectedly, and it was too late to tell the family that "the money is hidden here", so after hundreds of thousands of years, the money was dug up by the turf workers and archaeologists, which is really breathtaking, and we future generations must learn a lesson: the information of family wealth cannot be known only by one person.
Unearthed a large pile of copper coins, usually indicating that the owner only knew where the money was hidden before he died, did not tell the family, sudden accidental death, the family did not know that there was money underground, so that the money was found by archaeologists thousands of years later, it is a waste of pity, this kind of thing warns us: in a family, the situation of savings, can not only be known by one person, at least two people must know, to be safe
Hidden point two: roof beams. Yes, money can also be hidden on the roof beams of ancient houses, and it is also the main place where ancient Chinese to hide money. Because the beam has an upward side, the owner puts the money up, and the guests look up from below, they can't see it, only the owner himself knows that there is money on it.
The beams of traditional houses, the ancients often hid their belongings on the beams, which were called "Liangzang" at that time.
Hidden point three: clamp the wall. Yes, the ancient rich family, will secretly outside the wall inside the house, build another wall, outsiders think that there is only one wall, but in fact, there is a wall outside the wall, the gap between the wall and the wall, you can hide money, this secret, only the owner himself knows, the logic of the wall is a must, but also proves the wisdom of ancient Chinese.
There are other non-mainstream methods of hiding money in the folk, and they are not repeated here.
The sandwich wall of the old-style house: the gap between the wall and the wall can hide a lot of things, and outsiders can't know
