Capitalized numbers are a unique way of writing numbers in China. Use Chinese characters with the same pronunciation as numbers instead of numbers to prevent them from being tampered with. According to textual research, capitalized numbers were first invented by Wu Zetian, and then improved by Zhu Yuanzhang, which has been in use ever since.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 100, 1000, Chinese characters as full-time numbers are generally called lowercase numbers. Lowercase numbers are relatively simple and easy to be altered, so capital numbers "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten and hundreds" should be used in documents and commercial bills.
Traditional Chinese characters, a font form of Chinese characters, are called "traditional Chinese characters" in European and American countries. Generally speaking, it refers to the Chinese characters replaced by simplified characters in the Chinese character simplification movement, and sometimes it refers to the whole Chinese character regular script and official script writing system before the Chinese character simplification movement. Traditional Chinese has a history of more than two thousand years. Until 1956, it was the standard Chinese character used by Chinese people all over the world.
A total of 2274 simplified words and 14 simplified word radicals, such as Yi [Yi], Xun [Qi], Yi [Yi], Cheng [Cheng], etc., have been collected in the Summary of Simplified Words, and the sources of simplified words include common words.
Origin:
Traditional Chinese characters, that is, the writing system of Chinese characters produced after the evolution of Xiao Zhuan into official script (followed by regular script, running script, cursive script, etc.). ), which has a history of more than 2000 years, has been a common Chinese writing standard for Chinese people all over the world until the 20th century. Since the 1950' s, the people of China and the government of China have simplified the traditional Chinese characters and formed a new Chinese writing standard, namely simplified Chinese.
Simplified Chinese is mainly composed of inherited characters and simplified characters introduced by China people and the Central People's Government after 1960s. Simplified Chinese is mainly used in Chinese mainland and Southeast Asia (such as Malaysia and Singapore), while traditional Chinese is mainly used in Taiwan Province Province, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and Macao Special Administrative Region of China.
