Présentation de l'éditeur
Specialized Series. No. I, PREFATORY REMARKS. The greater part of the information contained in the following pages is mainly derived from an article by the author on the same subject and under the same heading, which originally appeared in theN umismatic and Philatelic Journal of Japan. The present monograph is, nevertheless, more than a mere excerpt from the above publication, since its scope has been considerably extended so as to include other matters having an indirect bearing on, if not actual connection with, the question under discussion. Readers acquainted with my previous efforts vi ill consequently find herein embodied new material which it is hoped will add further interest to the topic indicated by the title. Although this contribution the first of a uniform series which will be periodically published is primarily intended for advanced scholars in this special line of study and research work, it has been at the same time written in a simple style with the endeavour of making it also as attractive as possible to the general reader. H. A. Ramsden. Yokohama, December,

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book investigates a lesser-studied form of ancient Chinese currency: model-insect money. These bronze castings, shaped like cicada and beetle larvae and adults, provide a unique glimpse into the evolution of Chinese currency and the cultural significance of insects in ancient China. The author traces the development of this currency from its origins in barter to its eventual use as a standardized medium of exchange. Along the way, the book explores the role of insects in Chinese mythology, art, and literature, shedding light on the deep connection between nature and society in ancient China. Ultimately, this book offers a valuable contribution to the study of Chinese numismatics and provides new insights into the cultural and economic history of ancient China. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330103166_0
