At present, Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan still use traditional Chinese characters, while overseas Chinese communities such as Singapore and Malaysia mostly use traditional Chinese characters and simplified Chinese characters. In Chinese mainland, traditional Chinese characters are preserved or used in the case of cultural relics, surnames, calligraphy seal cutting, handwritten inscriptions and special needs.
The use of capital figures began in the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang issued a decree because of a major corruption case "Guo Huan case" at that time, which clearly required that the number of bookkeeping should be changed from "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, ten and one hundred thousand" to "one, two, three, four, five, seven and nine".
