How much is an ancient silver equivalent to RMB now?

In the Tang dynasty, a barrel of rice was only worth a few pence, and one or two pieces of silver was equivalent to 1000 pence. At that time, the price of rice was calculated at 1.7, and one or two pieces of silver was equivalent to 4000 yuan. Later, the purchasing power of one or two pieces of silver dropped by half, and now it is only worth 2000 yuan.

The monetary system in the Song Dynasty was very chaotic, and some people minted coins privately, which led to the disunity of the currencies in the counties of the Song Dynasty. Basically, one or two taels of silver in the Song Dynasty is equivalent to 800- 1300 yuan now.

By the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the purchasing power of one or two pieces of silver had dropped again, and one or two pieces of silver was equivalent to 600 yuan money now.

In the early Qing Dynasty, one or two taels of silver was equivalent to more than 200 yuan now, and the currency has been depreciating.
