Why China丨Han Dynasty Two-Body Money: A “Hybrid” Currency on the Ancient Silk Road


【Editor’s Note】Cultural relics are living history. Letting cultural relics speak and letting history speak not only enriches the historical and cultural nourishment of the whole society, but also strengthens the inner self-confidence of Chinese people. In order to better inherit and carry forward China’s excellent traditional culture and build a strong sense of the Chinese nation’s community, Tianshan.com launched the column “Why China·Cultural Relics Travel” to tell the stories of civilizations behind these precious cultural relics and explore the “collision between ancient cultural relics and new technology”.

This is not only a piece of history, but also a cultural transmission, like a relay race, passing on the richness and diversity of Xinjiang to the world!
