| Anmerkungen |
The Hubu Guanpiao was introduced in 1853 as a fiscal emergency measure — the Taiping Rebellion had devastated government revenues and drained the treasury of copper cash, forcing the Qing court to authorize paper currency for the first time in centuries. The Board of Revenue printed these notes in Beijing on mulberry bark paper using woodblock techniques, placing full faith in bureaucratic seals and imperial authority rather than any mechanical anti-counterfeiting measure.
Acceptance was compelled, not earned. Merchants resented the forced circulation rate and frequently discounted the notes in practice. By 1861 the system was effectively collapsing under inflation and public distrust, and official redemption was suspended well before the series ended in 1864.
