Introduction:
The above is the traditional Chinese writing of 1 to 10. In fact, the traditional writing method of one to ten in China is the capitalization of one to ten, which is generally used on bills. It is said that the writing method of one to ten originated from Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming emperor. Zhu Yuanzhang issued a decree on a major corruption case at that time, which clearly required that the number of bookkeeping must be "one, two, three, four, five, six". Later, "mo" and "money" were rewritten as "white and money", which has been used ever since.
Extended data
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 China government after 1950. At present, 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.
The principles of simplifying traditional Chinese characters into simplified Chinese characters are "saying without doing" and "progressing steadily by convention", that is, using simplified Chinese characters popular among the people for a long time as far as possible, only making necessary changes, and simplifying them according to the principle of "progressing steadily by convention". Include two aspects:
One is to simplify the number of words and abolish the variant forms of homophones and synonyms. 1955, China's Ministry of Culture and the Language and Character Reform Commission published the first list of variant characters, and abolished 1055 variant characters.
The second is to reduce strokes. 1964, the China Character Reform Commission, the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Education published a Summary of Simplified Chinese Characters, with 2238 simplified Chinese characters, which simplified the traditional Chinese characters extracted from 16 to 19 to simplified Chinese characters extracted from 8 to 1 1.
