Capitalized numbers are a unique way of writing numbers in China. In this way, Chinese characters with the same sound as numbers are used instead of numbers to prevent them from being altered.
Capitalized numbers were invented by working people in long-term practice. Wu Zetian inherited the folk writing method and used a large number of capitalized numbers, making it wide and popular. Zhu Yuanzhang, out of the country's rectification in the economic field, ordered the large-scale compulsory implementation of fully capitalized figures throughout the country, thus perfecting and standardizing the application of capitalized figures.
Ming dynasty improvement
In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang issued a decree because of a major corruption case "Guo Huan case" at that time, clearly requiring that the number of bookkeeping must be changed from "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, ten, one hundred thousand" to "one, two, three, four, five, eight, seven, seven, seven. Later, "Mo" and "Qian" were rewritten as "Bai" and "Qian", which are still in use today.
At the beginning of the Daming regime, it was stipulated that every year all ministries, prefectures and counties in China should send accountants to the household department to report the income and expenditure accounts and the amount of money and grain in local finance. The figures between governments at all levels and with the Ministry of Housing must be completely consistent.
If there is any mistake, it will be returned and reported again. Because the place is far from the capital, in order to save time and avoid the pain of business trip, all localities have brought blank account books with official seals. If it is returned, please fill in the corrections at any time. Moreover, because the blank account book is covered with sewing seals, it cannot be used for other purposes, and the household administration department has not intervened.
