The Chinese Soviet Republic, headquartered in Ruijin, Jiangxi, operated its own parallel administrative apparatus during the period of Mao Zedong's Jiangxi Soviet — including a People's Commissariat of Food empowered to issue commodity vouchers rather than currency. This 1 Catty rice voucher is a rationing instrument, not a banknote in any conventional sense: it entitles the bearer to a specific weight of grain from state stocks, sidestepping the monetary system entirely.
The catty (斤, jīn) was standardized at 500 grams under the Republic, though local usage varied. By 1934, the Jiangxi Soviet was under severe Nationalist blockade, and grain management had become a military-logistical problem as much as an economic one. The Long March began that October.
