HAN Yuan(107)
The word“Zhuo-wo-si”is found in the Chinese translation books of Mongolian such as Huayi Translation and Tatar Translation compiled in the Ming Dynasty. The editors translated the word into Chinese as qian,which is how modern Mongolian jogos was pronounced in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties.However,it is rarely recorded in Chinese,Persian and other historical materials related to the early history of Mongolia before the Yuan Dynasty,and all kinds of currencies in circulation at that time have their own exclusive names.After entering the Yuan,as the Yuan government issued and advocated the circulation of various kinds of“chao”(banknote),the term“chao”gradually became the most widely used name for banknotes,even currencies,at that time,both officially and privately.
