摘要
唐代虽“钱帛兼行”,但钱、帛在执行货币职能时却有着不同的特点。在价值尺度方面,最终发挥价值尺度的是“钱”;在流通领域,表现为钱帛两级体制;在贮藏职能方面,承担贮藏职能的主要是钱,绢帛具有一定的调节功能;作为支付手段,绢帛主要作大数额的货币表示,铜钱则被挤到小额贸易领域;在国际贸易方面,承担世界货币职能的是钱,而且银的地位显著。绢帛在国际贸易中不再是货币,而是重要的商品。
Both money and silk were widely used in the Tang Dynasty, but they were different in performing their currency functions. In terms of value measure, money played its full function; in terms of circulation, both were used; in terms of saving function, money dominated its function, with silk making some adjustments; in terms of payment, silk was used to pay for the large amounts, with copper coins occupying a minor part in the small payments; in terms of international trade, money came first, and silver was also prominent. Silk was a valuable goods instead of currency in the international trade.
