RMB Capital Amount Usage Documentation
Historical Origin
The use of Chinese capital numbers began in the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang issued a decree because of a major corruption case "Guo Huan Case" at that time, which clearly required that the numbers used for accounting must be changed from "一、二、三、四、五、六、七、八、九、十、百、千" to "壹、贰、叁、肆、伍、陆、柒、捌、玖、拾、佰（陌）、仟（阡）" and other complex Chinese characters to increase the difficulty of tampering with account books. Later, "陌" and "阡" were rewritten as "佰、仟" and have been used until now.
RMB Capital Amount Rules
Chinese capital amount numbers should be written in regular script or running script, such as 壹、贰、叁、肆、伍、陆、柒、捌、玖、拾、佰、仟、万、亿、元、角、分、零、整(正) and other characters. Do not use 一、二(两)、三、四、五、六、七、八、九、十、毛、另(or 0) to fill in, and do not create simplified characters.
Writing rules when there is "0" in Arabic numerals:
- When there is "0" in the middle of Arabic numerals, the Chinese capital should write "零", such as ￥1409.50, which should be written as 人民币壹仟肆佰零玖元伍角.
- When there are several consecutive "0"s in the middle of Arabic numerals, only one "零" can be written in the middle of the Chinese capital amount, such as ￥6007.14, which should be written as 人民币陆仟零柒元壹角肆分.
- When the corner digit of the Arabic amount is "0" and the cent digit is not "0", the word "零" should be written after "元" in the Chinese capital amount, such as ￥325.04, which should be written as 人民币叁佰贰拾伍元零肆分.
Integer and Decimal Representation
When the Chinese capital amount number ends with "元", the word "整" (or "正") should be written after "元". After "角", the word "整" (or "正") may not be written. When the capital amount number has "分", the word "整" (or "正") is not written after "分".
