In the "exchanges" and trade associations in old Shanghai, the first price offered every day was called the "opening price", and correspondingly, the last price closed that night was the "closing price". Later, these words have been used in the stock, gold, futures and other related financial markets of modern securities companies. The word "pan" here comes from the abacus, an ancient computing tool in China.
People who have seen the TV series "jstars Courtyard" will marvel at the long abacus used by many people in the jstars shop when they settle accounts together. They will also remember that after the old boss of Lu's old club married Qiao Zhiyong, Joe took charge for the first time, picked up the heavy abacus, shook it smartly, and then "ticked" it like a butterfly. Facts have proved that the abacus has long been used as a computing tool in the business flow in various parts of China, and many firms open and close the market by pulling the abacus and making a loud "tick" sound every day. In the morning, as long as the shopkeeper stands in front of the cashier and fiddles with the abacus beads, the clerk, waiter and apprentice will immediately take their places and open the door to welcome guests. This is the so-called "opening the market" or "opening the market"; At night, the shopkeeper shook his abacus up and down and crackled. Putting down the abacus is the signal of "closing", which is called "closing". Later, banks, banks, stocks, futures, gold, bond markets and other financial industries rose, generally following and using these two words, and developed on the basis of the word "disk", resulting in many other related words, which are not listed here.
