Comments

10 shi jin of market (approximately 5 kg)

 

This type of coupon was typical of China under the planned economy, where the purchase of essential commodities like grain was strictly controlled. The rules aimed to prevent private trade and ensure that resources were distributed equitably by the state. Its restriction to a specific district and designated outlets demonstrates the importance of territorial control over distribution.
