13世纪华北地区货币短缺产生原因探析

An Analysis of the Causes of Money Shortage in North China in the 13th Century

发生于13世纪中国华北地区的金属货币短缺对于元朝货币发展形式有重要影响,其发生与当时蒙金战争爆发、白银开始纳入税收领域、西亚贸易中金银外流等事件密切相关。这一现象是金元时期贱金属货币向贵金属货币转化过程中,由于中国与外界商业贸易加深等综合因素影响的表现。华北货币短缺事件是导致忽必烈政权发行中统钞的重要因素之一。

The shortage of metallic money in North China in the 13th century had a significant impact on the development of currency in the Yuan Dynasty. Its occurrence was closely related to the outbreak of the Mongolian-Jin War, the inclusion of silver in the tax field, and the outflow of gold and silver in West Asian trade. This phenomenon was a manifestation of the transition from base metal currency to precious metal currency during the Jin-Yuan period, influenced by comprehensive factors such as the deepening of China’s commercial trade with the outside world. The currency shortage in North China was one of the important factors leading to the issuance of Zhongtong banknotes by the Kublai Khan regime.
