A piggy bank, translated as a greedy piggy bank, is a jar for storing coins. Generally made of ceramics or plastics, it has a slit hole at the upper end for inserting coins, and a larger opening at the lower end for taking out money. Of course, there are also a large number of clay pots without openings, and when you need money or coins, you can only smash them and take them out.

General piggy banks are specially used to store coins, most of which are in the shape of pigs. Because pigs eat a lot, are fat and round, and have the meaning of making money and receiving happiness, they have almost become the standard style of piggy banks. People buy chubby piggy banks for their children in order to cultivate their financial management ability and develop a good outlook on wealth.

Historical background

Puman is a piggy bank made of clay in ancient times. In the early 1950s, in the ancient city of Xiangtan, this kind of small clay pot for storing money was still sold at toy stalls. The beauty of it is that coins can be put in but not taken out. Therefore, children usually stuff pocket money given by their parents into small holes. When the money is full during the Spring Festival, they break small clay pots and spend the money happily, so it is also called "piggy bank".

"Those rich people use soil as a tool to save money; Out-of-body experience without out-of-body experience, when you are full, you will pounce (volume 5 of Xijing Miscellanies). The earliest written records can be found in Sima Qian's Historical Records. It has many other names, such as bag, gourd and piggy bank.
