When was the correct time for the six monetary reforms carried out by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?

Emperor Wu's six monetary reforms are the most famous and important in China's economic history, which was established by Emperor Wu in the sixth monetary reform? Five baht? It has been used for more than 700 years since it was implemented in the fourth year of Yuanshou and ended in the Sui Dynasty. It can be said that the influence of Emperor Wu's monetary reform is far-reaching and enormous.

But now most people follow the time of the six monetary reforms of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty? In the first year of Jianyuan, pay three baht; Yuan was established for five years, paying three baht and half a penny; Yuanshou recast three baht in four years, casting white deerskin coins and platinum; Yuanshou five years, stop money half two, five baht; In the second year of Ding Yuan, five baht was cast and three platinum products were discarded. In Ding Yuan for four years, five baht was forbidden in the county, and three passes were cast in the forest. Three officials and five baht? This statement.

But in fact, this statement is not completely correct, and there are obvious errors in the time part it says.

First of all? Three baht? The implementation time of. According to Hanshu? "Wu Di Ji" contains: Spring and February of the first year of Jianyuan? Okay, three baht? That is to say, Ban Gu will set a time for the implementation of the three baht? The first year of jianyuan? . However, Hanshu Shihuozhi and Historical Records PingZhun clearly recorded that Emperor Wu spent three years in the Yuan Dynasty? Make the county magistrate sell half a tael of silver and continuously cast three baht, which is as heavy as a text? Yes There is a gap of 20 years between the three years of Yuanshou and the first year of Jianyuan, so which statement is correct?

According to Historical Records. Leveling ":? Since Xiaowen earned more than four baht, he is now in his forties. Since the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, it has been used less. County officials cast more copper mountains, and the people stole money, too numerous to mention. Money is lighter, but things are less expensive ..... Make the magistrate sell half a tael of silver and continuously cast three baht, which is as heavy as the text? . According to Hanshu Moon Hee: Four years of winter, December ... summer and April, except the order of grabbing money. Earn four baht more. ? , indicating casting? Four baht? It was implemented in the fifth year of Emperor Wendi.

Again? Since Xiao Wen earned four baht, he has been in his forties. From this passage, we can know that from the fifth year of Emperor Wen, the Western Han Dynasty has never changed the currency system for more than forty years, but has been doing it? Four baht? . So if you follow Hanshu? According to Liang Wudi's records, was Liang Wudi implemented in the first year of Jianyuan? Three baht? Yes, so Sima Qian would never say? Even in his forties? Because from Wendi to the first year of Jianyuan, the interval between them was only 35 years, which was a far cry? More than forty years? .

So what? Three baht? The implementation time is three years of Yuanshou (BC 120) as mentioned in Historical Records, not the first year of Jianyuan (BC 140) as mentioned in the Records of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

What's next? White deerskin coins and platinum? The implementation time of. Now people think? Make white deerskin coins and platinum? The time is four years in the Yuan Dynasty, mostly based on Hanshu? Emperor Wu Ji:? In the four-year winter of Yuanshou, it is said that the poor people in Kanto moved to Longxi, Beidi, Xihe, Shang Jun and Huijifan with 725,000 people. County officials have enough food and clothing and insufficient expenses. Would you please use tin as platinum and leather coins to earn enough money? Wake up. But according to historical records. Leveling book? White deerskin coins and platinum? The implementation time is not four years, but three years.

Although it is not clearly recorded in the historical records? White deerskin coins and platinum? The implementation time, but if we carefully look for the corresponding records, we can actually determine the specific time. First of all, it is recorded in Historical Records. White deerskin coins and platinum? When, it's words? Next year ... it will be made of white deerskin square feet, with seaweed as leather currency, up to 400 thousand yuan ... and silver and tin as platinum? Here? Next year? It means next year.

In this way, we can infer its implementation time from the context in Historical Records. Are you online? Next year ... is based on white deerskin square feet ...? Below, Sima Qian recorded? The following year, the general and a title of generals in ancient times attacked Hu, and won the first prize of 890,000 yuan and the reward of 500,000 yuan. There are more than 100 thousand dead horses in the Han army, and the cost of transferring them to Cao Chejia is negligible. This is an era of wealth, and soldiers are quite unfortunate. ? .

According to historical records? General Li biography:? General, a title of generals in ancient times general attack the huns, trumpeter save themselves. The son of heaven thinks that he is old and blessed; I worked for a long time and thought it was a former general. It's ten years old and Yuanshou is four years old. ? And then according to historical records? Biography of General Wei's title of generals in ancient times:? In the spring of the fourth year of Yuanshou, General Qing and General A title of generals in ancient times were each ordered to ride 50,000 sick generals and hundreds of thousands of infantry soldiers. It's an ancient title of generals in ancient times who dare to fight hard. .

From these two paragraphs, we can know exactly. White deerskin coins and platinum? The implementation time was in the third year of Yuanshou (BC 120), not in the fourth year of Yuanshou (BC 1 19).

Again? Five baht? The implementation time of. Now most people think that casting five baht comes from? Five years of yuanshou? At first, it was mainly based on Hanshu? Emperor Wu Ji:? (Five years after the inauguration ceremony) How about five baht instead of half two? Hezi Tongzhi Jian:? (Five years in founding ceremony) It took three baht to cast five baht. ? Judging from these two paragraphs.

But in fact, five baht is in? Five years of yuanshou? This statement was denied as early as the Song Dynasty, when Wang Xizhi said in the Chronicle of the Western Han Dynasty. (Yuanshou) Four years of winter? There is a saying that three baht is light and treacherous, but it is more important to ask the county to cast five baht, so that Zhou Mo can't come over. Textual research says: "Hanshu"? Ji's "Five Years of Yuanshou" cloud? Half a penny, five baht? By mistake. According to the Records of Food, it used to sell half a penny and cast three baht. After that, three baht is light and five baht is cast. If you don't make five baht, you start wasting half a penny. Say "food system" again? A title of generals in ancient times, big attack hu? If it is four years, then the five-year inclusive period is not established. ? .

Did Wang Yizhi clearly say it here? Five baht? The implementation time should be four years (BC 1 19) of Yuanshou, not five years (BC 1 18) of Yuanshou.

According to Historical Records. Book of Equality: In the second year, generals and hussars attacked Hu ... It was said that three baht was light and unreliable, but all counties and countries were invited to cast five baht ... All works were rented and thrown, and the ratio of money was 4 100. Non-officials are compared to three elders and northern knights, and the car is counted as one; The merchant's second calculation; How much is a boat over five feet? Can we know here? Five baht? The casting time is four years after Yuanshou, and it is also with? A preliminary calculation of money? Introduced in the same year, according to the History of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: (Yuanshou) four years of winter ... a preliminary calculation of money? , that is to say? Five baht? The implementation time was four years in Yuanshou (BC 1 19).

Besides? Five baht? The implementation time of. Now it is widely believed that? Five baht? Casting began in the second year of Ding Yuan, but according to Records of the Historian, this is not the case.

"Historical records. The Book of Peace contains: There are many traitors casting money in the county, but the money is light. However, the Communist Youth League asked the capital to cast the red edge of the bell officer, and non-red edges were not allowed at five o'clock. If this year is over, platinum will eventually be abolished. Yes, Zhang Tang died without thinking. ? That is to say, in? Five baht? Starting casting? Years old? A few years later, Zhang Tang died, and? Years old? It means a little over a year, which means it spans two years. So in fact, we only need to know when Zhang Tang died. Five baht? Implementation time.

So when did Zhang Tang die? According to historical records? Chronology of generals and ministers since the Han dynasty:? The second year in Ding Yuan ... Don was guilty and committed suicide? In other words, Zhang Tang committed suicide in the second year of Ding Yuan. So when did Ding Yuan advance for two years in two years? It was the sixth year of Yuanshou. So what? Five baht? The casting time should be six years in Yuanshou (BC 1 17), not two years in Ding Yuan (BC 1 15).

To sum up, in fact, the specific time of the six monetary reforms of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty should be like this: Yuan Shou three years (BC 120)? Four baht? , start casting? Three baht? , and the crew? White deerskin coins and platinum? . Four years of yuanshou (BC 1 19), ok? Three baht? More casting? Five baht? . In the sixth year of Yuanshou (1 17 BC), casting began? Five baht? . In the second year of Ding Yuan (BC 1 15), the "three platinum products" were abolished. Ding Yuan four years (BC 1 13), abolished? Five baht in the county? And then what? Five baht? , began to fully implement the casting of Shanglin Sanguan? Three officials and five baht? .

As for when? How about three baht and a half pence? So far, this has failed to find the correct answer.

Can only say "Hanshu"? "Wu Di Ji" contains: How about three baht and a half in spring? This record must be wrong, because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not formally implement the first monetary reform until the third year of Yuanshou (BC 120), so it is absolutely impossible to have it in the fifth year of Jianyuan (BC 136)? How about three baht and a half pence? Such a monetary reform policy.
