How much is one liang of silver worth? Many people must have discussed this issue. According to my research, many people today actually have no concept of its value. This is especially evident in modern TV dramas, where absurd plots such as two steamed buns and a bowl of soup costing five liang of silver, or a young madam losing ten million liang of silver in one gambling session, clearly demonstrate the ignorance and lack of seriousness among contemporary Chinese creators. Keep in mind that during the Wanli era, the annual revenue of the national treasury was only 2 million liang of silver, which was only achieved after Zhang Juzheng's fiscal reforms enriched the state coffers. Even masters like Jin Yong seem not to have conducted in-depth research on the monetary value of silver. Everyone should remember how Guo Jing was taken advantage of when he first met Huang Rong.
