In the economic society, coins play an important role, and everyone's life cannot be separated from it. Almost everyone has been exposed to coins, and has mastered many techniques for how to distinguish between authenticity. Everyone thinks that it is familiar. But, do you really understand it?


China is one of the first countries in the world to cast and use metal coins, and has a history of more than 3,000 years. China was also the first country to invent and use banknotes. The banknotes that appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty were the earliest banknotes in the world. Its appearance triggered a revolution in the history of world currency.


As we all know, the printing technique invented by our ancestors has made a major contribution to the promotion of world history and civilization. Among them, due to the important role of banknotes in social life and people's requirements for aesthetics, durability and anti-counterfeiting, the banknotes of the past generations all adopt the most advanced printing technology at that time, and the printing of banknotes represents the highest printing technology in each historical period. Level.


At the beginning of the 20th century, the introduction of advanced western printing technology into China had a major impact on the progress and development of domestic printing technology. Decades later, China's printing and printing industry has risen in the midst of changes and wars, and has stepped into the world's advanced forest. At present, China is still a big printing bank, and its annual printing and circulation volume ranks first in the world. As the general history of China's first printing industry, this book has combed and summarized this history comprehensively, systematically and completely.


The authors of this book are all printing banknotes who have spent their entire life printing and are more than old. I have a deep research on the history of printing money, so I can express this chapter of the history of printing money clearly and orderly. Mr. Gao Zhanxiang, the former deputy minister of the Ministry of Culture, commented on the author of the book and said that they are “a generation of people in the printing industry”.


The book is divided into four parts: origin, ancient, modern, and contemporary. With a length of 550,000 words, it has sorted out the development of Chinese currency and printing technology for thousands of years. For the printing instruments, crafts, equipment, scientific research, and institutions at the same time. The development status in related fields such as management has also been described in detail. Its time span is large, the scope is wide, the data is complete, the context is clear, and more than 600 beautiful illustrations can be described as exquisite and comprehensive. It’s worthy of being a great masterpiece in the history of printing money.


I am deeply impressed by the editing of this book. The book describes the process and details of the five sets of RMB design, engraving, printing and distribution after the founding of New China. I have learned how our experts can get rid of dependence on foreign countries and develop their own watermark paper, ink and printing machine. , coding machine and anti-counterfeiting technology. On each banknote, every small watermark, every small pattern, condenses the efforts of these experts and technicians. I am proud of their wisdom and unremitting efforts. This book is a monument to these banknotes. And we need to record it and pass it on.


The stability and economic development of a country cannot be separated from a unified and orderly monetary system. Every progress in human civilization is accompanied by "currency wars" and financial prosperity. Through the changes in the currency of each period, we can see the changes in history and society. In this sense, this book is not only a history of printing money, a history of money, but also an economic history and social and cultural history.


This book has a long time span, a wide range of scopes, a large body, and a unique craftsmanship. It is a book that fills the gaps in history. Its publication has contributed a great system to the Chinese printing industry, which is conducive to the future.
