Securities are a collective term for a variety of economic rights and interests certificates. They also refer to specialized types of products. They are legal certificates used to prove certain specific rights and interests enjoyed by the ticket holder. Securities mainly include capital securities, currency securities and commodity securities. Securities in a narrow sense mainly refer to securities products in the securities market, including equity market products such as stocks, debt market products such as bonds, and derivative market products such as stock futures, options, interest rate futures, etc. In February 2021, the "Supplementary Regulations of the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate on the Enforcement of Determined Crimes (VII)" stipulated the crime of fraudulent issuance of securities (the crime of fraudulent issuance of stocks and bonds was cancelled). Securities are essentially civil rights with property attributes. The characteristic of securities is that civil rights are expressed in securities, so that rights and securities are combined. Rights are embodied in securities, that is, the securitization of rights. It is a legal phenomenon in which the right holder's method and process of exercising his rights is expressed in the form of securities, a social phenomenon that symbolizes the investor's investment property, and a sign and result of developed social credit.

Securities must be associated with a specific form of expression. In the development process of securities, the earliest basic way to commend securities rights was paper. Specific rights were represented by words or graphics on special paper slips. Therefore, securities are also called "documentary evidence" and "documentary evidence". However, with the rapid advancement of the economy, especially the development of electronic technology and information networks, modern society has become “paperless” in securities. Securities investors almost no longer own any securities in the form of physical bonds. The number of securities or the rights to the securities are recorded in the investor's account accordingly. The development process from "paper-based securities" to "paperless securities" reveals the huge difference between the concept of modern securities and the concept of traditional securities.

As a written certificate in recognition of certain civil rights, securities have the following basic characteristics: 1. Securities are certificates of property rights. 2. Securities are negotiable rights certificates. The vitality of securities lies in the liquidity of securities. Traditional civil rights have always faced many obstacles in the transfer. As far as civil property rights are concerned, since it does not involve personality and identity, its transfer is not indispensable in nature, but its transfer is a complex civil act. 3. Securities are income-generating rights certificates. The ultimate goal of security holders is to obtain income, which is the direct motivation for security holders to invest in securities. 4. Securities are certificates of risk rights. The risk of securities is reflected in the possibility that investors will not be able to obtain expected income or even suffer losses due to changes in the securities market or the issuer's reasons.
