元代是我国第一个以统一的纸币为基本货币制度的朝代。纸币发行量大,流通领域广,期间所制定的钞法也成为世界上最早的纸币流通。其货币思想,在中国历史的整个经济思想中也占有独特的重要地位。当然,元代后期由于钞法破坏而引起的通货膨胀尤其值得我们后世引以为戒。 The Yuan Dynasty was the first dynasty in China to adopt a unified currency as the basic monetary system. Banknotes issued a large circulation in a wide area, during which the banknote law has also become the world’s first banknote circulation. Its monetary thinking also occupies a unique and important position in the entire economic thinking of Chinese history. Of course, the inflation caused by the destruction of the banknote method in the late Yuan Dynasty is especially worthy of our posterity.
