早在明朝中期,西班牙就已在墨西哥制造“本洋”银币(俗称“双柱”),至清代乾隆、嘉庆年间,中国对外贸易日趋繁荣,从外国流入中国的银币种类也日渐增多。至清朝末年,除“双柱”外,还有墨西哥“鹰洋”、英国“站洋”、印度支那“坐洋”、日本“龙洋”和德国威廉一世纪念银币等品种,其中英国“站洋”以制作精良、图案美观而著称于世。“站人”银元作为一种历史载体,记录了鸦片战争以后,中国人民政治上受压迫,经济上受剥削的屈辱历史。研究在中国流通的外国货币,对于我们了解外国列强利用银元贸易,掠夺中国财富的罪行,增强爱国主义精神,为中华民族的伟大复兴贡献力量,具有十分重要的意义。
As early as the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Spain had already produced the "Nanyang" silver coin (commonly known as "double column") in Mexico. By the time of Qianlong and Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty, China's foreign trade has become increasingly prosperous, and the types of silver coins flowing into China from foreign countries have also increased. In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, in addition to the "double pillars", there were also varieties such as Mexico's "Eagle", Britain's "Standing Ocean", Indochina's "Sitting the Ocean", Japan's "Longyang" and Germany's William I Memorial Silver Coin, among which the British "Stand "Yang" is famous for its excellent production and beautiful appearance. As a historical carrier, the "Standing People" Silver Dollar recorded the humiliating history of the Chinese people's political oppression and economic exploitation after the Opium War. Studying the foreign currency circulating in China is of great significance for us to understand the crimes of foreign powers using the silver dollar trade, plundering Chinese wealth, enhancing the spirit of patriotism, and contributing to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
