Title: Authentic 1936 Republic of China Primary School Diploma – Shanghai
Era: Republic of China (Minguo Year 25)
Dimensions: 10 1/2" x 13 1/2"
This is a rare and visually stunning original diploma issued on July 3, 1936. The document was awarded to a student named Feng Miaoging, an 11-year-old from Heshan, Guangdong, upon graduating from the "Huaien Private Primary School" in Shanghai.
Historical Features:
• Iconography: The top center features a portrait of Dr. Sun Yat-sen flanked by the "Blue Sky, White Sun, and a Wholly Red Earth" flags of the Republic of China.
• Official Seals: The document contains several crisp, red vermilion ink chops (official seals) from the school and the Principal, Fang Shukan.
• Condition: Excellent for its age. The paper shows a natural aged patina with minor edge wear and light foxing consistent with a 90-year-old document. The colors of the border and flags remain vibrant.
• Background: The paper features a complex, security-style lithographed background pattern, typical of high-quality documents from the Shanghai Republican era.
This is a museum-quality piece of Ephemera, perfect for collectors of Chinese history, educators, or those interested in pre-WWII Shanghai heritage. It would look magnificent framed.
