Capitalized 0,1 to 10, please!

Whether Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3 ......), or Chinese lowercase digital (one, two, three ......), due to the simple strokes, easy to be altered pseudo-tampering.

For example, "3564 yuan" is written as "三仟伍佰陆拾肆圆". These Chinese characters were created very early, and are used as capitalized numbers, which is a pseudo-borrowing. This kind of simplified writing of numbers was already in full use as early as the Tang Dynasty, and was gradually standardized into a set of "uppercase numerals".

Origin of Capitalized Numbers

Counting the number of words in capitals has been used since ancient times until now, and although some accounts have gradually switched to Arabic numerals after liberation, important accounts; checks and remittances; and stocks and treasury bills continue to be used. capitalized Chinese numbers.

"Bite the bullet" published in 2004 on the 12th issue of Mr. Hou Jialiang, "the origin of the capital numbers" article is this: "for the anti-corruption tree clean, Zhu Yuanzhang also formulated a strict decree on the punishment of economic crimes and financial management on the technical precautions, the implementation of a number of effective measures.

To record the number of money and grain of Chinese characters 'one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, hundred, thousand' changed to capitalization, with 'one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, nine, ten, one hundred, one thousand,' is one of the important article." This means that the use of capitalized numbers to keep track of numbers originated with Zhu Yuanzhang, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty.

Second, the historical origin

The use of capitalized numbers began in the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang issued a decree because of a major embezzlement case at that time, "Guo Huan case", which explicitly required that the number of bookkeeping must be changed from "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, one hundred, one thousand" to "one, two, three, four, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, one hundred, one thousand", Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, ten, one hundred, one thousand" to "one, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, one hundred, one thousand" and other complex Chinese characters to increase the difficulty of altering the books. Later, the characters "陌" and "阡" were rewritten as "百、仟" and have been used ever since.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, it was stipulated that every year, all the government departments, prefectures, states and counties in the country had to send accountants to the Ministry of Revenue to report the income and expenditure of the local finances as well as the amount of money and grain. The figures between the different levels of government and the Ministry of Revenue must match exactly.

The slightest error would be returned for re-statement. Because of the distance between the localities and the capital, in order to save time and avoid the pain of traveling, the localities brought with them blank account books with official seals. If returned, then fill in the corrections at any time. And because of the blank ledger stamped with a riding seal, can not be used for other purposes, the Ministry of the Interior did not intervene.
