As shown in the above records, during the Warring States period, many items entered the market and became marketable commodities, namely, horses and dogs in the north, feather purlin and tooth leather in the south, fish and salt in the east, and leather and paper furniture in the west, all of which appeared in the Central Plains market, showing the frequent exchange of goods and the variety of exchanges at that time.

Perhaps this is also a great driving force for commercial development during the Warring States period. After all, it is an achievement for businessmen to gather products from all over the world, even today, but we are more convenient. We can place orders and pay with electronic products without leaving home, and we can taste or own special products and articles from all over the country and even some parts of the world.

In order to meet the needs of commodity exchange, metal coins began to be widely used, which also promoted the development of foundry industry. Judging from the coins unearthed in the Warring States period, all the major vassal States in the Warring States period had their own coins, and these coins were also cast with place names. The coins of this period included not only copper coins, but also gold coins, especially the golden cakes of Chu State.

With the prosperity of commerce, there has also appeared a place market specialized in commodity trading, which is divided into several columns to form a place to sell commodities? Shopping? In order to maintain the order of the city and collect taxes and fees, the rulers will also set up special officials such as market officials and city officials.

In addition, with the development of commerce, businessmen began to have independent economic status, which was very different from the situation that businessmen were subordinate to the government in the Spring and Autumn Period, so many big businessmen also accumulated extremely rich wealth, and Bai Gui in the Warring States Period was a famous big businessman. What is his business theory? People abandon me and take it, and people take me? .

This is a famous saying at that time, and it has also become the creed of many businessmen. As the saying goes, even if you think twice, you will lose, Bai Gui, but this also applies to today's business. It can be seen that although some people have been dead for more than a thousand years, their thoughts still exist.

Therefore, compared with the Spring and Autumn Period, the commerce in the Warring States Period also developed significantly, which prospered and promoted the social and economic development.
