xavierz27 Valued Member United Kingdom 129 Posts	Posted 10/10/2012 10:46 am I bought this Chinese item recently. It seems to be dated to 1919. Beyond that...? Possibly a receipt of some kind, or a tax document? Any help appreciated! Report this Post to the Staff

I will just take it to my Chinese III teacher, she is from mainland China and would love to help. Report this Post to the Staff

chinnotes New Member Germany 12 Posts	Posted 03/21/2019 4:54 pm I am not sure whether the answer of a question posted 2012 is still wanted. This is a tax receipt, issued by the tax office of Gutian County (#21476;#30000;#21439;), Fujian Province. It's a kind of grain tax which farmers had to pay. The receipt says that somebody paid grain tax of 8 Fen and 0 Li or exactly 4 Fen (#32902;#20998;#28961;#21400;), the receipt is dated July 3, 9th year of the Republic, which means 1920. 1 Fen is 0.01 Yuan, 1 Li is 0.001 Yuan. So the tax was rather low. It is said that this is tax due for the 8th year of the Republic (1919). Sorry if my English is not perfect. Erwin Report this Post to the Staff
