Recently, Zheng Xueqiang, a resident of Lanzhou, showed reporters tens of thousands of tax "old objects" that he had collected for more than 30 years, including tens of thousands of documents, bills and newspapers and periodicals related to taxation in the Ming Dynasty, Qing Dynasty and modern times. Zheng Xueqiang has brought more than 1,000 tax-related treasures to the Gansu tax system exhibition. Collectibles, he says, stem from hobbies, but they can't be made objects at the bottom of a pressure box. I hope to share the historical development story of taxation with more people, so as to maximize the value of "old objects".
