Regarding the prices during the Tang Dynasty
One to five. The average price of rice during the Zhenguan and Kaiyuan eras was twenty wen. For instance, in the first year of the Tang Wude era, rice was over three hundred wen per dou. The highest price approached one thousand wen. Any errors can be pointed out by the *Tu* *Shu* Guan. Of course, during times of war, prices were certainly outrageous. The prices during the peak of the Tang dynasty, at the end of the Zhenguan period and the beginning of the Kaiyuan period, should also consider all factors such as industrial productivity. The price of medium silk fabric was about one thousand five hundred wen. A bolt of silk during the Tang dynasty was not as wide as modern ones, but it was still half the width of modern ones. Therefore, prices should also take into account all factors such as industrial productivity. The price of medium silk fabric was about one thousand five hundred wen. A bolt of silk during the Tang dynasty was not as wide as modern ones, but it was still half the width of modern ones. A modern bolt of silk, which is several dozen meters long, would definitely not cost several thousand yuan. During good harvest years, a dou of rice (approximately thirteen jin) could be bought for five wen. I have consulted some historical materials and semi-professional individuals from the *Tu* *Shu* to gather information. In terms of purchasing power, using basic necessities as a benchmark, plus taxes and other factors, we calculate prices based on peaceful times. At the end of the Tang dynasty, prices were even higher. I hope fellow readers can contribute; this conclusion is based on the materials I have consulted from *Tu* *Shu*. During the An Lushan Rebellion, prices were higher than those mentioned. Therefore, my conclusion is that the purchasing power of one wen, after multiple calculations, is approximately equivalent to today’s value of between four yuan two jiao and four yuan eight jiao.
One to five
During the Zhenguan and Kaiyuan eras, the average price of rice was twenty 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.
What mistakes are there? Just criticize the *illustrated* book.
Certainly, during times of war, it is undoubtedly very shocking
The prices during the peak period of the Tang Dynasty, at the end of the Zhenguan era and the beginning of the Kaiyuan era
Therefore, the price level should also take into account all factors such as industrial productivity
The cost of medium silk fabric is approximately 1,500 wen
A horse from the Tang Dynasty was not as wide as modern ones, but it was still half the width of those found on modern m.hetushu.com. A piece of silk measuring several dozen meters in modern times would definitely not cost several thousand yuan.
At times, during a good harvest year, one dou of rice (approximately 13 jin) costs five wen.
I researched some historical materials and also consulted with some semi-professional individuals in the field of literature.
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
I hope all the readers can contribute; this diagram-book is the conclusion I have drawn from the materials I have consulted
The Anshi Rebellion, the price of rice was higher than usual
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, and four yuan and eight jiao
