Abstract: The qian jiaoquan (monetary verification tallies) found in the "Yangling soldier" documents from the Liye Qin bamboo slips belong to the category of jiaoquan (verification tallies) in a broad sense.Unlike standard jiaoquan that primarily emphasize property rights,the qian jiaoquan place greater emphasis on creditor rights,serving as documentary proof for the creditor to confirm and claim debts.Debt collection was executed through a process where the "right tally" (youquan) holder demanded payment from the "left tally" (zuoquan) holder.Consequently,the term lvzuo (traditionally understood as "the left side of the village") should be reinterpreted as quanzuo ("left tally holder"),functioning as an alternative name for commoners who held the left tally.As holders of the "left tally",the "Yangling soldiers" occupied a subordinate economic position.They were not only compelled to repay debts through labor services but also subject to conscription for garrison duty in remote frontier areas.The widespread existence of such quanzuo was a significant latent factor contributing to the outbreak of peasant uprisings in the late Qin Dynasty.

Key words: Liye Qin bamboo slips, Yangling soldiers, qian jiaoquan (monetary verification tallies), quanzuo (left tally holder), lvzuo
