Reflections of Shell Money in the Chinese Writing System

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Shell money appears to be have been used as currency in many parts of the world. It is generally assumed that China is one of these places. One of the reasons is the fact that Chinese culture has preserved a unique medium that retains evidence about ancient Chinese society: namely the Chinese writing system reflects the history of shell money. The importance of shell money in the Chinese trade network is supported by the fact that the primary character for 'shell' was extensively used as a semantic component in secondary characters relating to money or trade. However, in the course of time the original motivated relationship might have been disrupted, since the development of graphics and changes in character meanings largely went its own way. This paper presents a graphemic analysis of Modern Chinese characters containing the radical 'shell'. The aim is to determine the efficiency of 'shell' and to describe its semantic function in Modern Chinese signary
