During the period of 1947, with the successive victories of the liberation war, the liberated areas scattered in North China gradually became one. In order to meet the needs of personnel and material exchange, the liberated areas urgently need to establish a unified financial institution.
1On September 4th, 947, Zhang Dingcheng, commander of the Central China Military Region at that time, and Deng Zihui, acting secretary of the East China Bureau of the Central Committee, called the Central Working Committee and pointed out that "in order to adapt to the front-line operations, the central government should immediately set up a joint bank or a liberation bank, and the sooner the better".
After receiving the telegram from Zhang Dingcheng and Deng Zihui, Dong, the main person in charge of the Central Working Committee, immediately found Nan, then deputy director of the North China Finance and Economics Office, to discuss. South Chen Han pointed out that it takes a long time to make paper money, so it is imperative to determine the name of the bank.
According to Nan, the first governor of the People's Bank of China, Comrade Dong was not very satisfied with the names of "United Bank" or "Liberation Bank" proposed by Zhang Dingcheng and Deng Zihui. At that time, because the people in the Kuomintang-controlled areas were already complaining about inflation, the Kuomintang Central Bank had frightened the people. If it is called "central bank", I'm afraid it is difficult for people to distinguish this "central bank" from that "central bank".
During a discussion with Comrade He Songting, the Vice President of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Bank suggested that since our army is called "People's Army" and our government is called "People's Government", why not call our bank "People's Bank".
The name of "China People's Bank" was approved by Comrade Dong. The word "person" illustrates the nature of this bank. It belongs to the people and the public, not bureaucratic capitalists or financial oligarchs. At the same time, it also shows its position and function. It should be the national bank and central bank of the future people.
According to the articles of the late coin expert, the former director of the currency circulation department of the People's Bank of China and the deputy director of the planning department, Comrade Dong said when drafting the bank name that the central bank we created today should not only consider the currency unification in the liberated areas at present, but also be linked with the bank name of new China in the future.
1947 10 2. Dong, secretary of the Central Working Committee and member of the Standing Committee, sent a telegram to the Central Committee in Xibaipo, proposing to set up a bank in Jiefangquan District. In asking for instructions, he reported to the Central Committee the situation of sending Comrade Nan to the Bohai Sea to discuss with Zhang Dingcheng and Deng Zihui, and put forward the proposal of setting up a bank in the liberated areas, and proposed that the name of the bank should be "China People's Bank".
The Central Committee agreed to this proposal and instructed Dong to organize the preparatory work. Thus, the name of "China People's Bank" was determined.
1June, 948, the Central Ministry of Finance and Economics was established, with Dong as Minister and Xue Muqiao as Secretary-General. At the third government meeting of the People's Government of North China held in June, 5438+065438+ 10, Dong, then chairman of the People's Government of North China, temporarily added two topics, one of which was the establishment of the People's Bank of China to issue a unified currency.
At the meeting, comrades made a statement on establishing the People's Bank of China to issue a unified currency. The meeting decided to immediately set up the People's Bank of China and appointed Nan as the general manager. 1948 1 February, 2008 1 The People's Bank of China was established, and Comrade Dong personally wrote the words "People's Bank of China".
