What are food stamps? Did people eat a prescribed amount of food in the past?
During the development of modern society in China, food stamps were used. Therefore, food stamps are special vouchers issued by the government to residents to buy food in special economic periods. Food stamps have appeared in China for more than 40 years. Later, with the progress of society, they gradually withdrew from the stage of history, but on the other hand, they became collectors' favorites. The existence of food stamps is to distribute goods in a planned way, so people at that stage eat food according to the prescribed amount.

First, the origin of food stamps actually appeared as early as the Soviet Union. At that time, due to the continuous civil war in the Soviet Union, various resources were scarce. So in the face of limited materials, the rulers came up with a way to distribute them to the residents in the city in a planned way, so that the food can be used reasonably to the maximum extent. Compared with other countries in the world, China has the largest variety and quantity of food stamps. There are tickets to buy cloth, tickets to buy cooking oil and food stamps. Distributing food to residents is a planned strategy.

Second, the social background of food stamps The reason why China supplies food stamps is because domestic materials are very scarce after the founding of New China. The only food left cannot be supplied to the whole society for human consumption. Therefore, government departments began to plan food supply to meet the problem of food and clothing for human beings. Therefore, this period is also the most difficult period in China, and the whole country has entered an era of scrimping and saving to survive the famine. Later, after the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, the domestic economic development improved and the materials gradually became rich. In addition, Yuan Longping's hybrid rice technology has solved the worries of no food. Our country has developed to such a splendid state in modern times.

Third, the historical contribution of food stamps has played an indelible role in the development of China. The existence of food stamps has enabled China to tide over the difficulties in an orderly way in famine years. Although food stamps are no longer used in modern society, there are still many collectors who are keen on collecting food stamps. Nowadays, food stamps are more of a kind of value, which witnessed China's transition from hardship to prosperity.
