Whether Arabic numerals (1, 2,3 ...) or Chinese lowercase numerals (1, 2,3 ...) are easy to be altered and tampered with because of their simple strokes.
Therefore, the numbers on general documents and commercial financial bills should be capitalized in Chinese characters: one, two, three, four, five, land, seven, eight, nine, pick up, hundred and thousand (the strokes of "ten thousand, one hundred and one trillion" are complicated and seldom used, so there is no need to replace them with other words). For example, "3,564 yuan" is written as "3,000 Wu Bai and 64 yuan".
These Chinese characters have existed for a long time, and they are used as capital figures and belong to borrowing. The complicated writing of this number was fully used as early as the Tang Dynasty, and then it was gradually standardized as a set of "uppercase numbers".
Extended data:
First, the capitalization rules of numbers
1, Chinese amount in words number to Yuan, after Yuan, you should write "whole" (or "positive"), and after Angle, you can omit "whole" (or "positive"). Quantity has "points" in words and figures, and the word "whole" (or "positive") is not written after "points". ?
2. In Chinese, the word "RMB" should be marked before the amount expressed in words, and the word "fen" should be marked before the amount expressed in words, and the word "whole" (or "positive") should not be written after the word "fen". ?
3. In Chinese, the word "RMB" should be marked before the number of amount in words, and the word "RMB" should be filled in immediately after the number of amount in words, and it is not allowed to be left blank. If "RMB" is not printed before the number of amount in words, the word "RMB" should be added. The fixed words "thousand, hundred, ten thousand, thousand, hundred, ten thousand, ten thousand, yuan, jiao and fen" shall not be pre-printed in the "amount in words" column of bills and settlement vouchers. ?
4. If there is "0" in Arabic numerals, Chinese capitalization should be written in accordance with Chinese language rules, the composition of the amount figures and the requirements of preventing alteration. Examples are as follows:
1) When there is "0" in Arabic numerals, the word "zero" should be capitalized in Chinese, such as ￥ 1409.50, which should be written as RMB14,009.50. ?
2) When there are several "0s" in Arabic numerals, only one "0s" can be written in Chinese words, such as ￥6007. 14, which should be written as RMB six thousand 0.7 yuan 14?
3) When the digits of Arabic sum are "0", or there are several "0" in the middle of digits, digits and digits are also "0", but digits and angles are not "0", you can only write a Chinese zero word in a word, or you can not write a "zero" word.
If it is RMB1680.32, it should be written as RMB 16800.32, or RMB 16800.32, or RMB 107000.53, or RMB 107000.53. ?
4) When the number of Arabic numerals is "0" and the number of digits is not "0", the word "zero" should be written after "yuan". If it is ￥ 16409.02, it is written as RMB sixteen thousand four hundred and nine yuan and two cents; Another example is RMB 325.04, which should be written as RMB 3,250,040.
5, in the document, there are ten thousand yuan, one hundred million yuan and other units agreed, such as? 53,365,438+0.2 million yuan, with Wu Bai writing 331 million yuan.
Second, the time of origin
Numbers are capitalized and have existed since ancient times. Although some accounts were gradually changed into Arabic numerals after liberation, they were all important accounts. Remittance by cheque; Stocks, government bonds and bills still use capitalized Chinese characters and numbers.
The article "The Origin of Capitalized Numbers" published by Mr. Hou Jialiang in Chewing WordsNo. 12, 2004 says: "In order to crack down on corruption, Zhu Yuanzhang also enacted severe laws to punish economic crimes, adopted technical preventive measures in financial management and implemented some effective measures.
One of the most important points is to change the Chinese characters' one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, hundred, thousand' into capitals, and use' one, two, three, four, five, land, seven, eight, nine, ten, thousand'. "That is to say, counting with capital figures originated from the Ming emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.
