5 thoughts on “Why are there so many gold and silver in ancient times, why is it rare now? Where did they go?”

  1. Among some ancient film and television dramas, we will find that there are many gold and silver in ancient times, especially in some rich people's homes, gold and silver are tens of thousands, 100,000, and millions, but in our current gold now The silver is basically very scarce. Compared with the ancient film and television dramas, the current gold and silver are not half half the time. This makes some people want to know where these gold and silver goes, and what causes the modern gold and silver to scarce, mainly in the following reasons.
    The first reason is that there are not as many film and television dramas in ancient gold and silver. In film and television dramas, we will find that there are a lot of gold and silver in ancient times. In fact, in the real history, there were not so many gold and silver in ancient times. In ancient times, some rich people may have some gold and silver, and they basically do not see gold and silver among poor people. The currency they traded was copper coins. Not too much.
    The second reason, a large number of gold and silver during the Qing Dynasty flowed into foreign countries. The Qing Dynasty was the most humiliated period in my country. During this period, a large number of gold and silver in my country, precious antique calligraphy and painting were flowed abroad. For example, the Eight -Power Allied Army burned the Yuanmingyuan, such as various unequal treaties, which made a large number of gold and silver in my country by foreign invaders.
    The third reason, now gold and silver are not a trading currency. In ancient times, gold and silver, as a trading currency, so many rich people have many gold and silver at home for trading. But now gold and silver are not necessary trading currencies. Ordinary people will not hoard a large amount of gold silver, so gold and silver are not as common as before. Most gold and silver are also taken by jewelry stores for various jewelry. Therefore, for these reasons, our current gold and silver will look scarce.

  2. There are so many gold in ancient times, why is the golden resources rushing now? Where did gold go?

  3. In ancient times, gold and silver were the most important for trading currency, so it was very common, and it was also a symbol of wealth. However, during the Qing Dynasty, most of these gold and silver gave Western powers through compensation.

  4. Because there are not many domestic resources, many of them have flowed into foreign countries, and the corruption of the Qing government has led to their respective compensation.
