Excerpt from Model-Insect Money of Ancient China
The greater part of the information contained in the following pages is mainly derived from an article by the author on the same subject and under the same heading, which originally appeared in the Numismatic and Phila telic Journal of Japan. The present monograph is, nevertheless, more than a mere excerpt from the above publication, since its scope has been considerably extended so as to include other matters having an indirect bearing on, if not actual connection with, the question under discussion.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates a lesser-studied form of ancient Chinese currency: model-insect money. These bronze castings, shaped like cicada and beetle larvae and adults, provide a unique glimpse into the evolution of Chinese currency and the cultural significance of insects in ancient China. The author traces the development of this currency from its origins in barter to its eventual use as a standardized medium of exchange. Along the way, the book explores the role of insects in Chinese mythology, art, and literature, shedding light on the deep connection between nature and society in ancient China. Ultimately, this book offers a valuable contribution to the study of Chinese numismatics and provides new insights into the cultural and economic history of ancient China.
