Activity 2
Before people used money, they traded goods directly. For example, a person might trade a cow for five sheep. In this case, the cow was used as a form of “money”. People in ancient China invented shell money. Even today we can see the symbol of "shell" in many Chinese characters about money or trade. During the Spring and Autumn Period(770 BCE-476 BCE), each state made their own money.

The history of money
例如
Later, Emperor Qin Shihuang brought together all the warring states and created the Qin Dynasty. To make doing business easier across the country, he made the whole country use the same type of money—a round coin with a square hole in the center. With such a hole, people could put the money together with a rope and carry them around easily. Centuries later, when there was less metal for making money, the government of the Song Dynasty started to produce paper money—“jiaozi”.
