Regarding the prices during the Tang Dynasty
In terms of purchasing power, based on essential goods and factoring in taxes and other elements, we calculate prices during peacetime. In the late Tang Dynasty, prices were even higher. During the Zhenguan and Kaiyuan eras, the average price of rice was twenty wen per dou. This is a ratio of one to five. During the Anshi Rebellion, the price of rice exceeded this level. Therefore, prices should also consider industrial productivity and all other factors. My conclusion is that the purchasing power of one wen, after multiple calculations, is approximately equivalent to today's one wen being equal to four yuan and two jiao, up to four yuan and eight jiao. Thus, prices should also take into account industrial productivity and all other factors. My conclusion remains that the purchasing power of one wen, after multiple calculations, is roughly equivalent to today's one wen being equal to four yuan and two jiao, up to four yuan and eight jiao. The prices during the peak of the Tang Dynasty, at the end of the Zhenguan era and the beginning of the Kaiyuan era, are open to correction. I welcome any critiques from fellow readers, as this is merely the conclusion drawn from my research. In the Tang Dynasty, a bolt of silk was not as wide as modern ones, but it was still about half the width of modern fabric. I hope fellow readers can contribute, as this is just the conclusion I have reached based on my research. In the Tang Dynasty, a bolt of silk was not as wide as modern ones, but it was still about half the width of modern fabric. A modern bolt of silk, measuring several dozen meters, would definitely not cost several thousand yuan. The price of medium-quality silk fabric was approximately one thousand five hundred wen. Of course, during times of war and turmoil, prices would certainly be very volatile. I have consulted various historical materials and some semi-professional individuals. During good harvest years, a dou of rice (approximately thirteen jin) could cost five wen. I have consulted various historical materials and some semi-professional individuals. During good harvest years, a dou of rice (approximately thirteen jin) could cost five wen. For example, in the first year of the Wude era, rice was over three hundred wen per dou, with the highest prices approaching one thousand wen.
In terms of purchasing power, based on essential goods for people's livelihoods, along with taxes and other factors
Therefore, we calculate prices in times of peace
Late Tang, even higher
During the Zhenguan and Kaiyuan eras, the price of rice was twenty wen in both periods
One to five
The Anshi Rebellion, the price of rice was higher than that of other grains
Therefore, the price level should also take into account industrial productivity and all other factors such as www.hetushu.com.
Therefore, my conclusion is that the purchasing power of one cent, after multiple calculations, is approximately equivalent to the current value of one cent being between four yuan and two jiao, up to four yuan and eight jiao
The prices during the peak period of the Tang Dynasty, at the end of the Zhenguan era and the beginning of the Kaiyuan era
What mistakes are there? Feel free to criticize.
I hope all the readers can contribute; this is merely the conclusion I have drawn from the materials I have consulted
In the Tang Dynasty, a bolt of silk was not as wide as modern ones, but it was still about half the width of contemporary fabrics. A modern bolt of silk measuring several meters would definitely not cost a few thousand yuan
The cost of medium silk fabric is approximately 1,500 wen
Of course, during times of war, both the *picture* and the book are bound to be quite shocking
I researched some historical materials and also consulted some semi-professional individuals
At times, during a good harvest year, one dou of rice (approximately 13 jin) costs five wen.
For example, in the first year of the Tang Wu De era, rice was over 300 wen per dou. The highest price approached 1,000 wen.
