Covering the silver dollars and Yinhao of Ningbo Qianzhuang

Ningbo is the earliest area in modern China

The exhibition was co -organized by the Ningbo Museum (Ningbo Gang Museum) and the Ningbo Coin Society. It is divided into three chapters: "the origin of Ningbo's money", "the development and prosperity of Ningbo money house" and "the status and contribution of Ningbo Qianzhuang".

The phrase "traveling all over the world is not as good as the Ningbo Jiangsha" fully reflects the prosperity of the Jiangxia from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China. In the past, Qianxing Street was a section of Jiangxia Street. Every few steps of the Jiangbian Street, which are long, you can see a money house. As a result, this street is also known as the "Wall Street" of the East.

Ningbo is the earliest area in modern Chinese money. According to Wang Tianyang, deputy secretary -general of the Municipal Coin Society, since the opening of the Ming Dynasty, a large number of foreign silver has entered the hinterland of Ningbo and Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The Spanish silver dollar in the exhibition became the main banks of the coastal region at the end of the 18th century, and its prosperity continued until the mid -19th century.

The active trade promotes the development of the commodity economy, and financial service institutions such as Qianzhuang, Qianpu, and Silver Number came into being. "Ningbo Qianzhuang was first exchanged between silver, money, and foreign silver dollars." Wang Tianyang said.

Ningbo Qianzhuang Book

Ningbo Qianzhuang invented the world's earliest "accounting system"

Ningbo Qianzhuang can be divided into four categories: Daqianzhuang (big peer), Xiaoqianzhuang (small peer), currently redeeming shops, and money stalls.

This system does not use bills, but instead of "book books", the money between customers can be settled by the "book book" by the "book book", without having to use the money. According to Wang Tianyang, this system tests integrity and reflects the strong capital strength and good brands of Ningbo's Qianzhuang. It is the earliest financial settlement and settlement system in China and the world. effect.

Ningbo Qianzhuang is concentrated in Jiangsha. According to the "Langxian Business Tax Credit Records" in 1932, there were as many as 76 Qianzhuang in Ningbo at that time, of which 42 Daqianzhuang was located in Baizhang Street, and the rest were in Jiangsha area.

With the expansion of Ningbo's business landscapes, Ningbo Qianzhuang also expanded outwards and set up commercial ports in various places. Beijing's famous Hengli, Henghe, Hengxing, and Hengyuan's "Four Great Heng" money houses were the symbol of the early Ningbo Qianzhuang with huge influence in Beijing. The "Four Great" money votes in this exhibition is a testimony of that history.

The developed money industry has also cultivated multiple money industry families. Zhenhai Li family, Fang, Ye family, Cixi Dong family, and the Qin family in the urban area are quite influential figures in the Shanghai financial and industry. The exhibition also sorted out their family history.

Provide historical genes for the development of the contemporary financial industry

Ningbo's Qianzhuang started early, and it was not replaced after the appearance of modern banks. Instead, the development trend of "Qianzhuang and the Bank" was formed.

According to Wang Tianyang, Ningbo Qianzhuang promoted bank exchange vouchers through actively cooperating with banks, occupying a place; and with the superb silver dollar appraisal technology and the wrong relationship network, it coexisted with the banking industry. Many Ningbo Gangs Financialists, while hosting or investing in new banks, also take into account the "amphibious figure".
