Ancient mining technology is not good now, and many merchants and bureaucrats hoard the , first of all, the gold of the treasury is greatly reduced. The accumulation of gold cannot keep up with the speed of use. The Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty only rewarded a nearly 900,000 kg, which is now more than 200 tons, up to 500,000 kg once. This is also amazing in the history of world gold. After Emperor Hanwu, there were few golden days in the state treasury, and the amount of reward gradually decreased. Before Wang Mang's new dynasty, the state treasury gold was almost exhausted. After Wang Mang's dictatorship, he implemented a gold state -owned policy due to the needs of accumulating wealth or the importance of gold reserves. In the second year of the residence (7 AD), "No gold is allowed below the launch, and the royal is straight." Gold a pound. He used the severe punishment to force the people to buy his gold and various gold ornaments. The discount was purchased by the government. It was not until he died that the treasury accumulated 600,000 kg of gold. Even so, due to the war in the late Western Han Dynasty, the accumulated gold mostly lost the people, and did not leave it to the subsequent Eastern Han Dynasty. The government of the Eastern Han Dynasty did not have much inventory gold, and the emperor's reward had to change the gold as a silk. The decrease in gold owned by the state has greatly weakened large payment, storage methods and world currency functions of the main features of gold currencies. The second, the larger the gold paid such as the reward will return to the backward, and most of them are stored as wealth, and some are also hidden in the ground due to war and other reasons. The nobles of the prince rarely donated money from the court, and the atonement did not use gold to switch to "silk". Even foreign trade has few gold backflows. For example, "Historical Records of Da Wan Biography" describes Dawan and the area of peace and rest. In addition, after the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Emperor, foreign relatives struggled, the political situation was turbulent, and the economy became increasingly depressed. In addition, it was continuously used in foreign countries. Third, in the nobles, the gold in the hands of the heroes and landlords is increasingly used as non -currency. As early as the Emperor Western and Wenwen, the golden decoration became the wind. The belt is often a golden cylinder. "(" Xijing Miscellaneous Ji "Volume 4. Volume 1), the prosperity of the luxury of gold consumption is to cause the Emperor Wen to restrict the" governing the tyrants of the Tombs all tiles, and must not be decorated with gold and silver bronze tin. "(" Zi Zhi Tong Jian "Volume 5). In the Eastern Han Dynasty, gold and silver utensils are more popular, and more and more gold is used in craftsmanship. For example, the younger brother of Liu Xiu in the early Eastern Han Dynasty had hired more than 400 people to make gold ornaments. Since then, various families of gold ornaments have been proud of more than wearing gold or above. As for the golden bells, Jin Ding, golden chopsticks, and golden stalks of the emperor nobles. The phenomenon of funerals of gold wares is also common among the emperors nobles. Before the Western Han Dynasty, it mainly used beads and jade, and after the Eastern Han Dynasty, a large amount of gold was used. Most gold cakes, horseshoe gold, and lino gold are melted into various gold wares and gold ornaments, and even the gold stock of currency form (coin) is getting less and less.
