| China is one of the earliest countries to use currency and the emergence of currency has accelerated economic development, while the development of written language has promoted cultural dissemination. Chinese characters on currency represent the meaning of currency itself and change with the development of social productivity and culture. Their birth was closely related to ancient social systems, lifestyles, economic conditions and cultural development. Currency characters have recorded the development of Chinese society, economy and culture. We should inherit the historical and cultural elements contained in ancient Chinese currency and characters and make them better serve the development of modern society, economy, and culture. |
