Gold and the Chinese Empire

    When talking about the share, trade and sell of gold in relation to past empires it would be a miss to not talk about the presence and value of gold in the Chinese Empire. Although Chinese history is well known for its long history of ancient wisdom, conscious eating choices and a balanced system of lifestyle, the Chinese Empire was well versed in the Value of Gold. One of the major Dynasties that Highlighted this stock of gold was in the era of the Han Dynasty. This Dynasty took place in or around 80 Common Era. They were well known for having stocks and stocks of gold and even had had bureau and board of Equalization to keep the flow of Sell and Trade going smoothly.  

  It seemed that because of this, the King of the Empire was able to keep a tight grip on the nation and its citizens.  Later on in Chinese History the Government very seldomly used gold in their currency as opposed to their Arabian and North African counterpart Empires.  As it stands it seems that Gold was mainly kept in the hands of the Elite of the society who where a part of royalty. It wasn’t uncommon for some of them to have gold coins, gold bars, and other types of semi precious or precious material. In hindsight, it is no wonder that in Chinese symbolism the hue colors of yellow and gold represent Imperial Services, wealth and prosperity.

In hindsight, this concept of Gold and Royalty is a common theme that is ever present in the theme of Chinese Culture and other Cultures as well. And with this it is no wonder that in the year of 2007, China became the worlds top producer of Gold which surpassed the nation of South Africa; according to Forbes Magazine. This may have contributed to the selling of gold at that time. If we are looking at the past history of gold in China and the present passion for the sales of Gold in China it seems that there is a parallel of the history of the presence of gold in China. What ever that case we can see how Gold still affects the way be buy and sell and also interact with each other financially here and in the Far East. And in the opinion of the writer I am sure that this is something that the members of the Han Dynasty would indeed have been proud of.
