对两份遗存民国年间锦屏茅坪寨木价结单文书进行解读,指出这两份文书当分别为茅坪寨行户"龙茂盛木号"与本地木商唐本盛、外来木商陈长泰签写的木价结算单据,"龙茂盛木号"作为行户,代木材交易双方结算木材价款是其主要职责之一,而木材价款的结算需反复折兑计算,并且货币的流通状态及其兑换比价也呈现显著的地域性。

The paper studied the two documents of settlement about timber price from Maoping Zhai, Jinping Xian during the Republic of China. One of the documents of settlement was signed between the intermediary named Longmaosheng Muhao and the local wood merchant named Tang Bensheng. The other was signed between the intermediary named Longmaosheng Muhao and the foreign wood merchant named Chen Changtai. As an intermediary, replacing both sides of the deal to settle timber price was one of Longmaosheng Muhao＇ s main responsibilities. And the timber price needed to be converted again and again. In addition, currency circulation and currency conversion rate presented significant regionalism.
