Big head fortune-telling _ big head fortune-telling novel

Big head is a description: people who spend money unjustly, are cheated, and are not cost-effective.

Cause: Yan Xishan, a warlord in Shanxi, recast the silver circle. The original 100% silver circle was recast as a silver circle containing only 5% silver. These silver rings have Yuan Shikai's head on them, so they are called Yuan Datou, a homophonic sucker.

Yuan Datou was one of the major currencies in circulation during the Republic of China. "Yuan Datou" is the common name of Yuan Shikai's series of coins. To be precise, it is called "Yuan Shikai's elephant carrying golden harvest silver coins". In order to rectify the monetary system and draw a silver coin, the Beiyang government promulgated Article 13 of the National Monetary Regulations in February of the third year of the Republic of China (19 14) and decided to implement the silver standard system.

The National Monetary Regulations stipulates: "Cooper's pure silver price is six cents and forty-eight cents, hence the name Yuan", "one silver coin, with a total weight of seven cents and twenty cents, and one silver and one copper is eighty-nine ounces", and "there is no limit to the number of silver coins used".

Fool's story:

The word "big head" comes from folklore: in the Song Dynasty, there was a rich man named Yao, who was clumsy and urinated, and was nicknamed "Yao Big Head". Yao Datou is just the opposite of his father, who regards money as his life. He spends money like water on weekdays and gives money to others casually. No matter who is in trouble, people around him go to Yao for help, and Yao's head is responsive.

Some people are lazy. As soon as they heard that Yao was so generous, they began to miss him. They often ask Yao Datou for money from the pub, and Yao Datou never refuses. Someone is eating, drinking and having fun with the money given by Yao Datou. Not only did they not thank him, but they also said derisively, "This money was given by big head Yao, and it didn't cost anything." Later, people spent the money they wanted from Yao Datou and simply called it "Big Head Money".
