In the 1990s, with China's rapid development, the status of the RMB has become higher and higher. In addition to Arabic numerals printed on the RMB, all Chinese characters are left. How can foreigners know at a glance that the RMB belongs to China? The answer is to print Chairman Mao’s avatar. Chairman Mao was very influential at home and abroad at that time. Although many foreigners did not know the RMB, they must have known Chairman Mao. But what many people don’t know is that Chairman Mao refused to print his avatar on the RMB four times when he was alive.
11947, Dong Biwu went to Henan to attend a financial meeting to discuss currency unification. When he passed by Dahuaizhuang, Wutai County, Shanxi Province, he found that he was buying sesame cakes. When the boss bought Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Coin , the boss did not accept it. At that time, every liberated area had its own currency issued during the liberation period. had no choice but to exchange it for food with a new piece of cloth, which made Dong Biwu feel more and more the importance of unifying the currency.
Later he called Chairman Mao to talk about some issues in the establishment of Central Bank and new currencies. After discussing with Premier Zhou and others, Chairman Mao suggested establishing a unified bank, which could be called People's Bank of China . In the winter of 1947, the bank preparation office was listed in a place in Pingshan County, Hebei Province, and staff began currency design work. The people's bank is called the People's Bank of China. The currency used by the people is naturally called the RMB. After the name is determined, the pattern design will be discussed.
At that time, many currencies of many countries had the avatars of founding leaders. Chairman Mao also became the first choice as the three major leaders. When the RMB bill with the avatar of Chairman Mao was designed and sent to the central government, Chairman Mao immediately refused when he saw that the bill was printed with his avatar on it, saying that the RMB should reflect the style of the people.
Later, after consideration, Dong Biwu finally replaced the pattern with the production pictures of workers and peasants in the liberated areas, using Chinese characters except Arabic numerals. The first set of RMB printing is a bit rough, and the color difference between the printing paper and ink is also large. On December 1, 1948, the head office of the People's Bank of China was listed in Shijiazhuang, Hebei, and the first set of RMB was officially issued on this day.
111. New China was founded in . Chairman Mao was elected Chairman of the Central People's Government. Due to the rough workmanship of the first set of RMB, the central government decided to revise it. Does that mean that Chairman Mao’s avatar can be printed? Nan Hanchen mentioned this to the Chairman when he went to the meeting. Chairman Mao still refused after hearing this. Long before, Chairman had stipulated that it was prohibited to be named after the leader’s name, and personality cults are not allowed. The interests of the people must always be put first.
11, in early 1950, it was approved to issue the second set of RMB . The main body mainly reflects the course of the Chinese revolution, but the pattern was rejected after the pattern was reported. It turned out that both the one-yuan coupon and the second-cent coupon contained the image of Chairman Mao. The pattern on the above pattern was printed with Tiananmen and the scene of the various ethnic groups holding up the portrait of Chairman Mao. Looking closely, they all included the avatar of Chairman Mao. Therefore, Chairman Mao once again stated that he should not use his avatar on the RMB. After the final modification and approval, it was issued on March 1, 1955.
Chairman Mao repeatedly refused to join the RMB and the people were unhappy. At that time, almost every family had his portrait. Why did people who were deeply loved by the people not join the RMB? The people were calling for it. In 1967, employees of the banknote printing factory threatened to have a chairperson's avatar printed on the RMB. After hearing this, Chairman Mao still abides by the regulations and expressed disagreement. The fundamental reason for his unwillingness to appear on the RMB is that he hopes to always put the people first.
Why did Chairman Mao’s portrait be on the RMB later? After the reform and opening up, the fourth set of RMB was designed and issued. At that time, Chairman Mao had passed away. In order to adapt to economic demand, he decided to increase the denomination of RMB 50 and 100 yuan. In order to reflect the characteristics of the national unity of the RMB, portraits should be used in the pattern. The designer Luo Gongliu thinks about who should use the avatar. On the TV that day, portraits of four leaders, including Chairman Mao, Premier Zhou, Liu Shaoqi and Zhu De, were printed in the parade of four leaders. Luo Gongliu decided to print the portraits of the four leaders together on the RMB.
Someone suggested that Chairman Mao refused to place RMB during his lifetime, and Luo Gongliu believed that the death of the Chairman is grieving. Printing the image of Chairman Mao on RMB is not only a memory and longing for him, but also a heritage of revolutionary thought. In the end, he reported the patterns of the portraits of the four great men to the central government, and finally obtained approval. The fourth set of RMB was issued on May 10, 1988, and the image of Chairman Mao was first listed on RMB. When he saw the RMB with the portrait of the Chairman, the people were very excited.
0 , , was issued again on October 1, 1999. The central government decided to turn all the front main scenes of the RMB into a portrait of Chairman Mao. The reason was first of all, because of the nostalgia for the great leader, and secondly, it was hoped that the RMB would appear on the international stage. Through the Chairman Mao pattern, foreigners could recognize this as China's RMB at a glance. After all, Chairman Mao had a great influence in the international field at that time.
famous president Putin once said that Chairman Mao is the protector of the country. As long as China shines with his name, it will definitely be as solid as a rock. The fifth set of RMB 4 of has been loved by the general public after it was issued. The wishes of countless Chinese people have now come true. Perhaps this is the voice of the people and the choice of the times. Share to let more people see!
