Use the difference between twenty and twenty.

The difference between 20 and 20 is that, except for dialects in Shanghai and other regions, 20 is used for spoken language and 20 is used for written language.

The written language is concise and the number of words is as small as possible. Twenty is usually used to mean twenty years old. For example, on the calendar, the lunar calendar uses 20 words every 20 days, 2 1 is called 2 1, 22 is called 22, and so on. More than 20 titles have been used, such as Notes on Twenty-two Histories, Twenty-two Encyclopedias, Tanci in Twenty-one Histories and Twenty Years of Fan Huameng.

Ancient classical Chinese is the essence of concentration. The ancients made 20 mean 20, 30 mean 30, and 40 mean 30, all to save words. In classical Chinese, more than 20 is used to represent 20. In ancient Zhang Hui's novels, 20 was also used to represent 20, such as 22 for 22. The time in ancient chronicles is also represented by 20, such as May 24th, 2003, 200 1 year1month 4th, and September 29th, 2007.

Usage characteristics

Throughout the ages, more than twenty poems have been used in verse, mainly poems. Poetry emphasizes meter and has clear requirements on the number of words, so 20 is often used to represent 20. For example, there is a twenty-four bridge in Yangzhou. Du Mu in the Tang Dynasty once wrote a poem about the Twenty-four Bridges on a moonlit night, but poets usually call it the Twenty-four Bridges. If there is no plan to stay in spring, today, bagpipes will be sold to 24 bridges; Sadness lies in the bow, still shining on the 24 th Bridge in Yangzhou; Occasionally, I took the opportunity to observe the Tao, and Mingyue searched for twenty-four bridges. Looking back on the 24th Bridge in Yangzhou, jade people played flutes everywhere.

Prose other than verse generally uses twenty. Especially in modern writing, because there is no word limit for prose, except in special circumstances, it is generally twenty. The scope of use of 20 is limited, and it is not used for ordinal numbers, for example, don't say twentieth, and don't use empty fingers, for example, don't say more than 20 or so.
