Features: Time flies. Ninety years, though just a fleeting moment in the long river of history, have seen various Republican-era banknotes, including those printed by Zhonghua Book Company, withdraw from the historical stage along with the retreat of the Nationalist government to Taiwan. These banknotes have become a unique historical witness, revealing to present and future generations the changes in China's politics, economy, and culture they embody, provoking reflection and inspiration. Therefore, on the occasion of the 90th anniversary of Zhonghua Book Company's establishment, the editors have compiled these banknotes into a book, hoping to promote the study and research of modern Chinese publishing institutions, and to provide some potentially useful materials for the study of the history of Chinese currency and numismatic culture.
