FOR 596: Monies, Markets and Finance in China and East Asia, 1600-1900: Local, Regional, National, and International Dimensions

该项目的研究将集中在中国清朝、日本德川幕府和朝鲜晚期的铜基货币上。重点是硬币生产的具体条件，一方面从铸币金属的开采和冶炼，运输到铸币厂，铸造硬币，另一方面与不同支付手段的功能和汇率，金融体系的结构以及货币的文化意义有关的问题。根据选定的个案研究，将突出这些专题的地方、区域、国家和国际层面及其相互依存关系。

Research carried out within this project will concentrate on the copper-based monies of Qing China, Tokugawa Japan, and late Choseon Korea. The focus is on the concrete conditions of coin production, starting from the mining and smelting of mint metals, their transport to the mints, to the casting of coins on the one hand, and on problems related to the functions and exchange rates of different means of payment, the structures of the financial systems as well as the cultural meanings of money on the other. On the basis of selected case studies these topics will be highlighted in their local, regional, national and international dimensions and interdependencies.
