In ancient China, with the development of commodity economy, gold became a universal equivalent and valuable currency in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. During the Warring States period, with the development of commodity economy and frequent political exchanges, gold was widely used as a measure of value and a means of payment and storage.

From the perspective of China's 5,000-year history, gold, like other nationalities in the world, is also a unit of measurement and a symbol of wealth in China's history, and its position in human society is extraordinary. Due to the shortage of total gold in China, it is difficult for gold to become the protagonist of wealth circulation intermediary. In the modern history of our country, silver played a leading role in the circulation of functions of money.

China is the first country to use gold in the world. Dragon ornaments made of gold leaves were found in Shang tombs, and gold has developed into one of the important currencies during the Warring States period.
