[名 [ming]]
1. Something with a standard price that can be used as a medium of exchange. For example: "coins" (錢 [qian]), "paper currency" (紙 [zhi]), "gold currency" (金 [jin]), "foreign currency" (外 [wai]). From Book of Han (漢書 [han shu]), Volume 24, "Treatise on Food and Money, Part 2" (食貨志下 [shi huo zhi xia]): "Thereupon, [they] measured the capital (資 [zi]) and currency, weighed the importance, to save the people." Tang Dynasty (唐 [tang]) Yan Shigu's (顏師古 [yan shi gu]) annotation: "Generally, what is called bi is that which circulates goods and exchanges what is available for what is not. Therefore, both gold (金 [jin]) and money (錢 [qian]) are called bi."
2. A general term for wealth or property. From Guanzi (管子 [guan zi]), "National Accumulation" (國蓄 [guo xu]): "Pearls (珠玉 [zhu yu]) and jade (珠玉 [zhu yu]) were considered superior bi, gold (黃金 [huang jin]) was considered medium bi, and knife coins (刀布 [dao bu]) and spade coins (刀布 [dao bu]) were considered inferior bi." From Strategies of the Warring States (戰國策 [zhan guo ce]), "Strategies of Qin, Part 5" (秦策五 [qin ce wu]): "Ordered the treasury (庫 [ku]) to prepare chariots (車 [che]), the stables (廄 [jiu]) to prepare horses (馬 [ma]), and the government storehouse (府 [fu]) to prepare bi." Han Dynasty (漢 [han]) Gao You's (高誘 [gao you]) annotation: "Bi means goods and wealth (貨財 [huo cai])."
3. In ancient times, bundles of silk (束帛 [shu bo]) used as offerings for sacrifices (祭祀 [ji si]) or gifts (禮物 [li wu]) for guests (賓客 [bin ke]) were called bi. Later, it became a general term for gifts (禮物 [li wu]). From Classic of History (書經 [shu jing]), "Proclamation to Shao" (召詔 [zhao zhao]): "I do not presume to be diligent, but respectfully offer bi to enable the king (王 [wang]) to pray for the eternal mandate of Heaven (天永命 [tian yong ming])." Han Dynasty (漢 [han]) Kong Anguo's (孔安國 [kong an guo]) commentary: "It means I do not dare to be diligent alone, but respectfully offer bi and silk (帛 [bo]) to serve the king (王 [wang]), enabling him to seek Heaven's (天 [tian]) long mandate."
