Despite the passage of time, honesty has always been a traditional virtue in China and embodied in countless tales throughout China's history.
In the early Western Han Dynasty, a general 1 (name) Ji Bu was known for being courageous and honest. Legend has 2 that whenever Ji made a promise, he would spare no effort to flfll it. Such a virtue of honesty earned him a good reputation, and there was a saying 3 (wide) spread: It is better to have a promise from Ji Bu than to get hundreds of ounces of gold.
In ancient China, the currency consisted mainly of precious 4 (meta1), such as gold, silver and copper, so 5 (carry) a large quantity of cash was not only a heavy burden but could also put the owner in danger as robberies quite often happened along the way. So a story 6 (tell) about the start of the Chinese banking industry.
A successful merchant during the Qing Dynasty, Li Daquan, was visited by a friend who came up 7 a novel idea. His friend proposed that a draft be issued to replace the real cash. This draft was no mere promise, 8 a declaration that the same amount of currency had been deposited and could be withdrawn elsewhere.
Li readily agreed and 9 (keep) his word. The story soon got around, and Li's honesty brought him a flood of customers. He later set up China's first draft bank, Rishengchang, 10 later had 35 branches across the country.
