The meaning of the word "贝" is precious, and its meaning is currency.
Shell is the general name for molluscs with shells, but in ancient times it mainly referred to sea shells. The shell characters in oracle bones and bronze inscriptions are just like the shapes of seashells. In the ancient Central Plains, seashells were a precious decoration. This is probably because they are too far away from the sea and difficult to obtain, so people regard them as treasures, string them up and hang them on their necks and chests to show their wealth. Later, Bei meaning became the earliest currency, representing a certain amount of wealth. Therefore, most of the words "Bei" are related to money or precious meanings, such as wealth, goods, goods, trade, expensive, lease, loan, etc.
