According to Gu, a famous scholar and textual research scholar in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, the statue of Daiyue Temple is a stone tablet erected in China, with capital figures on it. Gu textual research said: "every number is one, two, three, four, five, land, seven, eight, nine, etc." It was all changed by Wuhou. "
It means: one, two, three, four, five, earth, seven, eight, nine and so on. Are all the characters transformed by Wu Zetian?
After the "Guo Huan case" during the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang deeply felt that the governance of corruption should not only severely punish criminals, but also block the door of corruption from the system, so the capitalized "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine hundred thousand" became one of Zhu Yuanzhang's inventions. Although these Chinese characters are troublesome, they can effectively avoid altering numbers, so they have been used ever since.
Extended data:
In the 18th year of Hongwu (A.D. 1385), the "Guo Huan Case", one of the four major cases in the early Ming Dynasty, broke out.
At that time, Yu Min, Ding Juting, Beijing provincial judges, Zhao and others colluded with the assistant minister of the Ministry of Finance to embezzle and steal official grain and official gold.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who is about to start Dayu, got this clue and pursued it. It was found that the national grain and silver consumed by these corrupt officials were almost equal to the sum of autumn grain collected by the whole country at that time. The handling of this case also shocked the whole country, and as many as 70 thousand people were collectively punished to death.
Afterwards, it was found out that in the "Guo Huan case", one of the main means for criminals to commit crimes was to tamper with account books. In order to accept this lesson, Zhu Yuanzhang had the original easy-to-be-altered "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, hundred and thousand" changed to "one, two, three, four, five, seven, eight, nine and eight".
