Grain ration coupons (粮票, liángpiào) persisted in parts of China well into the 1990s, long after the national rationing system was officially wound down in 1993. Jining's continued local issuance in 1995 suggests the district grain bureau was operating on its own timeline — not unusual for county and municipal-level bureaus that held independent grain reserves and distribution authority under the decentralized system.
The flour-specific denomination, rather than a general grain unit, reflects the wheat-growing character of Shandong's southwestern interior. Jining sits squarely in that wheat belt.
