On the day of the conference, it is understood that the world's first paper currency, Jiaozi, was born in Chengdu on the 1000th anniversary of the birth of the world's first paper currency, Jiaozi.. Jiaozi's birth predates the appearance of European paper currency by nearly 600 years, providing not only a way to break the limitations of traditional metallic currency, but also a significant milestone in the history of human currency as a whole. There are numerous precious artifacts on display within Chengdu Jiaozi Financial Museum today, which shed light on the development and emergence of Jiaozi, as well as the profound impact of its culture of integrity, open-mindedness, and innovative spirit on the subsequent development and transformation of the financial sector.
