How many memories do you still have of food stamps? How much do you know about food stamps?

It's not of much value, I have about thirty in my collection.

I haven't seen any food stamps.

Those who have food stamps have nothing to praise, and how many people who have food stamps have been deceived now?

The birth of China's grain stamps was first discovered gradually from the first-class system of serving the people's army. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, due to the long-term shortage of domestic food could not be solved in the short term, therefore, the relevant units began to draw on the basis of the military in the customized quantitative use of exclusive ticket procurement methods, and formulated the standard of civilian ration rations, and at the same time through the issuance of civil food stamps for the supply of rations for the people, the entire food stamp system for more than 30 years.

Let's talk about the categories of food stamps first, from the division of users, food stamps are divided into military (political) special food stamps and civilian food stamps.

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Ministry of Finance issued the "Food Voucher of the Ministry of Finance" (1950 and 1951 editions) from 1950 to 1951 after drawing on the experience of the grain stamps issued by the military and political committees of the six administrative regions in the previous six administrative regions.

At the same time, in order to solve the problem of the food of the marching troops, four versions of the "marching food stamps" and 1954 were specially issued.

From 1957 to 2000, the armed forces, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Food, and other relevant departments successively issued nine series (1957 edition, 1958 edition, 1960 edition, 1964 edition, 1967 edition, 1971 edition, 1981 edition, 1997 edition, and 2000 edition) of national (military system) general-purpose military food stamps.

In 1955, the Ministry of Food agreed to the first set of national food stamps (the 1955 series and the 1957 editions), followed by the printing and 1982 editions of the national food stamps. The 196* and 1978 editions of the stamps were not in circulation.

There are three types of food stamps: local food stamps, provincial food stamps and national food stamps, at that time, the national food stamps were the most popular and the most nervous, and those people could use the national food stamps! Only workers and staff members can receive national food stamps on business trips, and ordinary people cannot get national food stamps, and provincial food stamps are used in this province, and city food stamps can only be used in their own areas, and they cannot be used in the province.

I think the food stamps were all used in my grandmother's time, and they should be a very powerful thing.

At that time, the food stamps used were particularly tight, and a food stamp would be particularly cherished at that time.

I don't have any memories of food stamps because there was no such thing as food stamps when I was born.

In the sixties and seventies of the last century, the most popular thing was that everything had to be ticketed**: buying meat with meat tickets - buying cloth with cloth tickets - buying cotton with cotton tickets - buying cigarettes and sugar with tickets, tickets were used to buy various commodities"Qualifications", without this"Qualifications"I don't have any door to buy anything.

I don't have many memories of food stamps, because by the time I was born, they were almost gone.

Actually, I think my memories of food stamps are still stuck in the days when I was a child, and I could only get them once a month, but I didn't have enough to eat.

I don't have any memories of food stamps, because I am a true post-95 generation, and in my time, I don't understand what food stamps are.

I think that if there is still a little memory of food stamps, it is mainly a generation of memories.

I still have memories of food stamps, when I was a child, people didn't need to buy food, they didn't need to use money, and they just took it when they were there.

I think the food stamps are really a memory of my childhood, when I could only eat with food stamps.

I grew up in the mountains, and in the 80s I did see food stamps at home, but only in different denominations. Not much is known about the rest.

A few days ago, I received some food stamps, which gave me a new understanding of food stamps. The face value of the grain stamps is different, such as one city jin, three city jin, five city jin, two taels, 500 grams and so on. It can be seen that the par source silver value of grain stamps is different in different regions, and even in different regions at different times.

In addition, I also discovered a new feature, in fact, food stamps are just a rough name. Some can also be marked with flour, cotton, coarse grains, fine grains, cloth, oil (of course, cloth and oil can also be called hail as cloth and oil stamps) and other specific food varieties or daily necessities.

In fact, for these old folk objects, each of them contains a lot of knowledge, and understanding these can allow us to better understand the living conditions of ordinary people in that era.

Chinese Social Background in the 60s:

At that time, food stamps were used in exchange for food and household items. Food stamps began in 1955 and were not honorably "retired" until 1993, during which time they played a role as a lever to regulate social supply and demand. It plays an extremely important role as a valuable **.

In real life, one pound of local food stamps is about equivalent to two cents of RMB.

Grain is purchased with food stamps, and according to the occupation and age of the person engaged, it is about 20 catties and more than 40 catties per person per month. Food stamps are also required for eating at restaurants. Grain stamps cannot be used in various localities, and when you go on a business trip to other places, you must go to the relevant departments to exchange for "national food stamps."

Edible oil is purchased with oil tickets, and the highest amount is in Guangzhou, with catties per person per month. There are also many non-staple foods such as meat that must be purchased with tickets, only vegetables do not need tickets, and there are farmers' markets.

In addition, the fuel used for cooking rice is basically coal and firewood, which are also rationed and often insufficient, so office workers can save fuel by eating in the canteen of the unit, and the Shanghainese invented the use of boiling water to make rice for breakfast (there were no instant noodles at that time).

Since 1959, our country has encountered unprecedented difficulties. Farmers grind the corn cob cores of the corn kernels on the stone mill and use them to make nests to eat. Students eat bran and run to the school's vegetable patch to pick up the young leaves and stems of cabbage roots, eggplants and peppers to eat raw.

They also often pick some poisonous plants to eat, and poisoning incidents occur repeatedly.

Grain stamps are a kind of grain purchase vouchers issued by China in specific economic periods from the 50s to the 80s of the 20th century. The earliest types of tickets implemented in China are grain stamps, edible oil stamps, cloth stamps, etc. As a valuable practical application**, food stamps have been used in China for more than 40 years, and with the development of society, it has withdrawn from the stage of history and become the new favorite of collectors.

In 1953, the people promulgated the "Order on the Planned Purchase and Planning of Grain" to gradually establish the policy of unified purchase and marketing of grain and other agricultural products. On August 25, 1955, the "Interim Measures for the Rationing of Grain in Towns and Cities" was issued. On 5 September, the Ministry of Food issued interim measures in the form of an order.

In the same year, the local government began to implement this system. Since then, the grain and oil voucher system has been implemented for a long time. In addition to purchasing basic rations at state-owned grain stores, residents must pay both tickets and currency when purchasing food and commodities in shops or restaurants.

The issuance of books and tickets, as well as food relations, are closely linked to the household registration system. Urban residents take the household as the unit and receive the residents' grain ** according to the grain household registration, which is called the purchase of grain, grain or grain and oil, and purchases grain and edible oil at state-owned grain stores within a monthly period. The main way to obtain grain stamps is to exchange them at designated state-owned grain stores by urban residents with their residents' grain books.

There is also a subsidy for manual workers.

After the reform and opening up, commodities were gradually sufficient, and in 1985, food control was liberalized. After the opening of commodities, in the 1990s, the system of ticket ** existed in name only. In November 1992, food stamps were abolished.

A food stamp is a rationing offer** that can be purchased or bared in a specific store or for a specific food item. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, food stamps have become part of China's unique rationing system, which is used to control the circulation of goods and scarce resources. However, with the continuous development of China's reform and opening up and the lack of market economy, food stamps have gradually withdrawn from the stage of history.

It is understood that in the 80s of the 20th century, Chinese mainland gradually abolished the rationing system of grain, cotton, oil and other rations, resulting in the demise of the food stamp system. With the opening up of the country, China's market-oriented reform has gradually accelerated, more attention has been paid to quality and value orientation, consumers can have more choices, and the dynamic supply and demand relationship of the liquid market and its pricing logic have gradually been widely applied to the society, among which daily necessities such as grain have gradually moved to the market, and the utility obtained from the rationing system has gradually become well-known. In the process, food stamps lose their usefulness and become a product of history.

In addition, with the continuous development of the economy and society and the development of the market, grain production and quality have been significantly improved, and the quality and diversification of consumer demand and commodities are also constantly improving. The purpose of the issuance of food stamps is to control prices and prevent inflation, but this purpose has gradually lost its role with the reform and improvement of the market system. Therefore, we can conclude that food stamps were part of China's unique material rationing system from the 60s to the 80s of the 20th century, and with China's reform and opening up and the development of the market economy, food stamps gradually became history.
