Historical origin

First, in the early Ming Dynasty, there were 12 senior officials and 6 ministers involved“ Guo Huan's Corruption Case ”Is to make use of blank account books False account By distorting the figures, they embezzled money and grain, amounting to more than 24 million stones (d à n), which was almost the same as that of the whole country at that time Autumn grain The total number of collected data is equal. Zhu Yuanzhang He was so angry that he ordered Guo Huan equivalent Criminal Tens of thousands of people were beheaded in public, and punishment was formulated at the same time economic crime And financial management Technical precaution: change the numbers in Chinese characters into capital letters that are hard to be altered, that is, "1234567899000" to "12345678900" ("Qian" was later changed to "Qian" beside the single person), Chinese history The capitalization of the above amount starts from here.
Second, according to Late Ming and Early Qing Textual examiner Gu Yanwu Textual research, Wu Zetian It not only changed the name of the country from "Tang" to "Zhou", but also produced many Chinese characters. There were many stone tablets erected in that period Capital figures In addition, capital figures are also common in poetry, such as Bai Juyi In the Song edition of Bai Shi Changqing Anthology, "On the Camping Statement and Inviting Le Weibo and Other Four Soldiers and Horses to Keep Their Own Business", it is recorded that "considering the cost of his army in a month, the actual amount of money is twenty hundred lacquer and eighty thousand guan (" Qi "was used as a variant of" Qi "and" You "at that time, but later it was differentiated, and" Qi "was defined as the capital of the number" Qi ", and" Qi, You "was defined as" brush ") [1] 。” Gu Yanwu clearly revealed his own inference in his book "The Epigraph of Jinshi Characters · The Statue of Daiyue Temple": "All numbers that are made into one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, etc. are words that were changed and self-made after Wu.", Wu Zetian "Self made character" of Chinese capital numerals Zhu Yuanzhang Nearly 700 years earlier.
Third, it said that, for example, "In June of the 27th year of Gaochang Yanchang (AD 587), the Ministry of War ordered the purchase of a horse and counted the amount of money used to perform the act", with the words "all buy a horse together and use forty-five yuan of silver"; There is a word of "sharing wine with Qihu" in "Ma Shoutiao Presented as an Event of Drinking in the 11th Year of Xuanshi in Northern Liang Dynasty (AD 422)". These have sporadic Capital figures 's records are all in Wu Zetian Before, it was explained that around the 4th century (ca Eastern Jin Dynasty At the end of the year), people have begun to use capital figures in securities contracts consciously for more than 1600 years.
It may be concluded that capital figures are working people Those invented in long-term practice have been applied to daily life in succession; Empress Wu inherited the folk writing style and used large numbers in capital letters, making them widespread and popular; Zhu Yuanzhang In order to rectify the economic field, the state ordered the mandatory implementation of complete capital figures nationwide on a large scale, thus improving and standardizing the application of capital figures.
