| Comments |
Rice vouchers issued by military canteen offices occupy a genuinely obscure corner of Chinese military scrip — these were internal provisioning instruments, not currency, and were never intended to leave the mess system. A liang is one-sixteenth of a jin, so this denomination represents a single small measure of uncooked rice, the kind of precision that only makes sense in a tightly rationed institutional setting.
Card stock construction was deliberate: these needed to survive handling in kitchen and storage environments where paper would deteriorate quickly.
