About Number to Chinese Capital Converter:
Number to Chinese Capital conversion transforms numbers into Chinese capital characters. This unique writing system is specific to China. It uses homophonic characters to replace numbers to prevent alteration of amounts. Chinese capital numbers were invented by working people over a long period, and Empress Wu Zetian adopted the folk writing style, widely using capital numbers.
During the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang issued a decree due to a major corruption case known as the 'Guo Huan Case'. The decree required that accounting numbers must be changed from simple characters to more complex ones, making it difficult to alter account books. These complex characters continue to be used today.
