  1. Whether it is gold and silver or currency, it will depreciate and appreciate due to the situation of the market economy. After more than 300 years, the value represented by silver in each period is not the same. We use the most prosperous period of the Qing Dynasty as the representative of the Qing Dynasty to calculate one or two silver, which is equivalent to how much RMB now? We can use rice as an intermediary. One or two silvers were equivalent to 1,000 money during the Kanggan period. At that time, the price of rice was generally about one liter of rice and 10 texts. According to the measuring instrument of the Qing Dynasty, one liter is equivalent to the present now. 1.5 catties, the general price of Chinese rice is now around three yuan, which means that one or two silver can now buy 150 pounds of rice, which is equivalent to RMB 450 yuan.
    It, we can calculate the value of the next two silver according to the salary of the people during the Kanggan reign. At that time, the average salary of the people in Beijing should be around three or two silver a year, which means that one person can buy them alone. Nearly 300 liters of rice was converted to about 450 pounds of rice in today's society. At that time, the old Beijing city family could receive about 1,000 pounds of rice, so there was no problem at the time they raised their families. Looking at one or two silver from rice, it is equivalent to 450 yuan. From the perspective of salary, one or two silver is equivalent to about 3,000 yuan, so how much it is worth it depends on which aspect of you analyze it.
    During the early years of Kanggan to the beginning of Daoguang, one or two silver can be changed to 1,000 money. However, after the outbreak of the Opium War, a large number of silver flowed out, which led to the rapid appreciation of domestic silver. One or two silvers can already be exchanged for 1500 texts. Even after the outbreak of the Second Opium War, one or two silver can be changed to 2000 texts. Although the value of silver has increased, the purchasing power has decreased. In fact, the value of each method is different. The silver is a valuable metal, and the currency is virtual. of.

  2. One or two silver in the Qing Dynasty could buy at least one bag of flour, which is equivalent to 100 yuan now. This was a large measurement unit at the time.

  3. The purchasing power of each dynasty is different, and the currency value is different. In the Qing Dynasty, the purchasing power of one or two silvers was about a thousand yuan. You can buy 150 pounds of rice. It was a small number at that time.

  4. One or two silver in the Qing Dynasty can buy hundreds of pounds of meters. If it is converted into the current rice price, one or two silver is equivalent to one thousand yuan now.
