记帐数字体系,是由阿拉伯数字(小写)和中国的汉字(大写)相统一、相互配合组成的。众所周知,小写的阿拉伯数字是从阿拉伯国家近代逐渐传入我国的。那末,大写的汉字数字是从哪里来的呢?这里还有一段渊源很深的历史故事。明朝初年,当时出现了一宗重大的经济案件,户部侍郎郭桓利用自己手中的职权,勾结地方一些官吏,在任职期间大肆侵吞政府纳征的钱、粮,伪造凭证、谎报数字。欺下骗上,贪污精粮累计达2400多万石。此案牵涉到12个政府的高官、六个部的大小官员和全国各地一些官吏及富商、地主,共计数万人,范围之大、牵涉人数之多、案情之复杂是前所未有 The digital accounting system consists of the unity and cooperation of Arabic numerals (lower case) and Chinese characters (upper case). It is well known that the lowercase Arabic numerals are gradually introduced into our country from Arab countries in modern times. Then, the uppercase Chinese characters come from? Here is a deep historical story. In the early Ming Dynasty, there was a major economic case in the country. Guo Huan, a household minister, took advantage of his own power to collude with local officials and violated the government’s money, food, counterfeit documents and false information during his tenure. Lying to cheat on corruption accumulated a total of more than 2400 million stone grain. The case involved 12 senior government officials, 6 officials of different sizes and officials, wealthy businessmen and landowners in all parts of the country, totaling tens of thousands of people. The scope is enormous and the number involved is so great that the complexity of the case is unprecedented
