Definition: Release of pledge refers to the process in which the debtor, after repaying the debt, pays the corresponding release of pledge amount to the creditor, thereby releasing the pledged property from the pledge status and returning it to the debtor. The release of pledge usually occurs after the debtor has fully repaid the debt as agreed in the contract.
Origin: Pledge as a form of security originated in ancient lending activities. The concept of releasing a pledge evolved with the development of financial markets, becoming an important operation in the modern financial system. The history of releasing pledges can be traced back to medieval Europe, where merchants and bankers used pledged items to obtain loans and released the pledges upon repayment.

- Full Release of Pledge: The debtor fully repays the debt, and the pledged property is completely released from the pledge status.
- Partial Release of Pledge: The debtor partially repays the debt, and the pledged property is partially released from the pledge status.
- The release of pledge requires the debtor to repay the debt as agreed in the contract.
- After the release of pledge, the pledged property is returned to the debtor.
