HSK 等级高亮 · Highlight by HSK Level
2026nián年2yuè月1rì日,zhōng guó中国zhèng shì正式kāi shǐ开始shí xíng实行yī xiàng一项guān yú关于“xiàn jīn现金”de的xīn新guī dìng规定。

On February 1, 2026, China officially began implementing a new regulation regarding "cash."

zhè这xiàng项xīn新guī dìng规定yāo qiú要求,suǒ yǒu所有de的shāng jiā商家hé和yín háng银行dōu都yào要bǎo zhèng保证dà jiā大家néng gòu能够fāng biàn方便dì地shǐ yòng使用rén mín bì人民币xiàn jīn现金。

This new regulation requires all merchants and banks to ensure that everyone can conveniently use Renminbi cash.

xiàn zài现在,suī rán虽然hěn很duō多rén人xí guàn习惯yòng用shǒu jī手机zhī fù支付,dàn但bìng并bú shì不是měi gè每个rén人dōu都huì会yòng用。

Nowadays, although many people are used to paying with their phones, not everyone knows how to use it.

gēn jù根据xīn新guī dìng规定,zhǐ yào只要shì是miàn duì miàn面对面de的fú wù服务,shāng jiā商家bì xū必须jiē shòu接受xiàn jīn现金zhī fù支付。

According to the new regulation, merchants must accept cash payments for face-to-face services.

shāng jiā商家hái还xū yào需要zhǔn bèi准备hǎo好zú gòu足够de的líng qián零钱,bù néng不能yǐ以“méi yǒu没有líng qián零钱”wèi为lǐ yóu理由jù jué拒绝shōu收qián钱。

Merchants also need to prepare enough change and cannot refuse cash payments by saying "no change available."

jí shǐ即使shì是wú rén无人chāo shì超市huò或zì zhù自助jī qì机器,yě也bì xū必须qīng chǔ清楚dì地gào sù告诉dà jiā大家zěn me怎么shǐ yòng使用xiàn jīn现金,bìng qiě并且bù néng不能shōu qǔ收取é wài额外de的fèi yòng费用。

Even unmanned stores or self-service machines must clearly inform everyone how to use cash and cannot charge extra fees.

duì yú对于yín háng银行,xīn新guī dìng规定yě也tí chū提出le了míng què明确yāo qiú要求。

The new regulation also sets clear requirements for banks.

zhǐ yào只要shì是bàn lǐ办理gè rén个人cún kuǎn存款yè wù业务de的yín háng银行,jiù就bì xū必须tí gōng提供cún qǔ存取xiàn jīn现金de的fú wù服务。

Any bank handling personal deposit services must provide cash deposit and withdrawal services.

rú guǒ如果nǐ你shǒu lǐ手里yǒu有jiù旧de的、huài坏de的zhǐ bì纸币huò或yìng bì硬币,yín háng银行yě也yào要fù zé负责bāng帮nǐ你huàn chéng换成hǎo好qián钱。

If you have old or damaged banknotes or coins, the bank is responsible for exchanging them for good money.

yín háng银行hái还yào要duō多kǎo lǜ考虑lǎo rén老人、cán zhàng残障rén shì人士hé和wài guó外国péng yǒu朋友de的xū qiú需求,ràng让dà jiā大家zài在fù jìn附近jiù就néng能bàn hǎo办好xiàn jīn现金yè wù业务,bù yòng不用pǎo跑hěn很yuǎn远de的lù路。

Banks should also consider the needs of the elderly, disabled people, and foreign friends, so that everyone can handle cash services nearby without traveling far.

rú guǒ如果xiāo fèi zhě消费者zài在mǎi dōng xī买东西shí时yù dào遇到shāng jiā商家jù jué拒绝shōu收xiàn jīn现金,gāi该zěn me bàn怎么办ne呢?

What should consumers do if a merchant refuses to accept cash when buying something?

xīn新guī dìng规定míng què明确biǎo shì表示,dà jiā大家kě yǐ可以liú xià留下zhèng jù证据,tōng guò通过zhèng fǔ政府rè xiàn热线huò或xiāng guān相关bù mén部门jìn xíng进行jǔ bào举报。

The new regulation clearly states that people can keep evidence and report it through government hotlines or relevant departments.

zhōng guó rén mín yín háng中国人民银行huì会hé和xiāng guān相关bù mén部门yì qǐ一起diào chá调查bìng并chǔ lǐ处理zhè xiē这些wèn tí问题,bǎo hù保护xiāo fèi zhě消费者de的quán lì权利。

The People's Bank of China will investigate and handle these issues together with relevant departments to protect consumers' rights.

zhè这xiàng项xīn新guī dìng规定shì是wèi le为了bǎo hù保护rén mín bì人民币de的dì wèi地位,yě也ràng让dà jiā大家de的shēng huó生活gèng更fāng biàn方便。

This new regulation aims to protect the status of the Renminbi and make life more convenient for everyone.

tā它tí xǐng提醒wǒ men我们,wú lùn无论kē jì科技zěn me怎么fā zhǎn发展,xiàn jīn现金yī rán依然shì是zhòng yào重要de的zhī fù支付fāng shì方式。

It reminds us that no matter how technology develops, cash remains an important payment method.

ràng让měi gè每个rén人dōu都néng能qīng sōng轻松dì地mǎi dōng xī买东西、bàn办yè wù业务,shè huì社会cái才huì会biàn dé变得gèng jiā更加wēn nuǎn温暖hé和gōng píng公平。

Making it easy for everyone to shop and handle business will make society warmer and fairer.
