When did pawnshops appear When did there be pawnshops in history?

Pawnshops originated very early, and in the Southern Dynasties, there were monasteries that operated the business of lending money as collateral for movable property such as clothing. The pawnshop in the Tang Dynasty became a pledge storehouse, and some aristocratic bureaucrats built shops during the Tang Dynasty Xuanzong, opened mansion shops and pledge warehouses, engaged in commerce and usury exploitation, and it occupied an important position in the market with the cabinet shop. In the 5th year of Tang Huichang, an emperor's proclamation said:

Chao to the clothes", "loan to Huaguan" and "Qingtu" all privately owned the quality warehouse store, competing with others for profit. The pawnshop in the Song Dynasty was called the Changsheng Library, and due to the increasing social and economic development of the Song Dynasty, the Changsheng Library (Quality Bank) was also developed. Wealthy merchants, government officials, military forces, monasteries, and large landlords have all operated the business of lending money against goods.

In addition to ordinary gold, silver, pearls, and jade money, the items pledged by the Song Dynasty into the Changsheng Treasury sometimes even included living items such as slaves and maids, cattle and horses, while ordinary working people mostly used daily necessities as collateral. The loan time limit of Changsheng Treasury is short, the interest rate is high, and the pledge is arbitrarily depressed, and the pledge will be confiscated if the loan is not repaid when it is due, which leads to the bankruptcy of many families. Most of the merchants in the Yuan Dynasty were Hui people.

The people who run the pawnshops are also Hui people. In addition to being called the solution of the treasury, the pawnshop of the Yuan Dynasty was called the solution of iodine shop, and the interest rate of pawn money lending was very high, and many working people had no money to redeem them, and their own pledges were swallowed up by the pawnshop. The Ming Dynasty was officially called a pawnshop, and most of the people engaged in the pawn industry were merchants from Shanxi and Shaanxi and people from Anhui.

Each Ming capital has its own pawn shop, and some merchants specialize in pawn quality as a business and get rich. These merchants operated on a wider range of businesses, not only for the general poor, but also for wealthy families to be on the verge of bankruptcy due to pawns. In the Ming Dynasty, there was also a "substitute pawn", that is, the small pawnshops in the towns and towns used the money of the large pawnshops in the city as capital, and the items charged were then transferred to the big pawnshops in the city.

Pawnshops were very common in the Qing Dynasty, and there were 600-700 pawnshops in Beijing during the Qianlong period. The Qing Dynasty pawnshops exploited the people quite severely. For example, the pawn "interest money" in Huzhou Mansion in Zhejiang Province is divided into three grades, 1 cent and 5 cents per month for those above 10 taels, 2 cents per month for those above 1 tael, and 3 cents per month for those below 1 tael.

Interest is calculated on a monthly basis, and if it is more than a few days, it will also be paid in January. Moreover, if it cannot be redeemed for a certain period of time, it will become a dead pawn, and the pledge will be confiscated by the pawnshop. Entering the semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, pawnbrokers also established lending relationships with banks and money bank capital, forming a network of urban and rural usury.

The bureaucratic capital banks also intervened, and some localities of the Kuomintang also set up public canons and public pawns, which were also usurious in nature. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, pawnshops ceased to operate.

During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, some aristocratic bureaucrats built shops and opened mansion shops, which are equivalent to the current pawnshops.

Historically, pawnshops probably appeared in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

At the end of the ancient Eastern Han Dynasty, pawnshops were already produced. According to the "Biography of Liu Yu", Liu Yu was ordered to go on an expedition to attack the Qingqing Brigade and fight Youzhou.

However, because of lack of money, he pawned the emperor's reward to Hu Yi, and was later killed by Gongsun Zhan.

Snatch it. The original text is, Yu was rewarded, pawned Hu Yi, and copied it. Among them, the pawn is the earliest pawnshop industry in history.
