Around 190 A.D. (around the Eastern Han Dynasty), a classic book called "Records of Mathematics" recorded the Chinese number words for quantity quite completely. These numerals include one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, hundred, thousand, thousand, million, billion, trillion, jing, 垓 (gai), 秭 (zi), 穰 (rang), ditch, stream, zheng, and zai.

The "Records of Mathematics" is the earliest record of ancient China's notation of large numbers: "The Yellow Emperor is the law, and there are tens of numbers. And its use, there are three things. The tenth class, 100 million, trillion, Beijing, Yuan, Zi, soil, ditch, stream, Zheng, Zai. Three waiting, said up, middle, and down.

the number below. Ten changes, if ten trillion is said to be billion, one billion is said to be trillion, and ten trillion is said to be Beijing.

In the middle of the number, ever-changing, if it is said that tens of thousands of billions, trillions of trillions, and ten thousand trillions of Beijing.

If you say that there are thousands of billions, billions of trillions are trillions, and trillions are called trillions, and trillions are said to be Beijing.

From 100 million to loads, finally Dayan. The lower number is shallow and short, the plan is not endless, the upper number is grand, and the world is not available. Therefore, its inheritance is only in the middle of the ears.

Additional Information:

1. The specific quantity represented by the quantity unit:

Wan: It represents 10 to the 4th power.

100 million: represents 10 to the 8th power.

Mega: Represents 10 to the 12th power.

Jing: It represents 10 to the 16th power.

Yuan: It represents 10 to the 20th power.

Zi: It represents 10 to the 24th power.

穰: It represents 10 to the 28th power.

Groove: represents 10 to the 32nd power.

Stream: represents 10 to the 36th power.

Positive: represents 10 to the 40th power.

Contain: represents 10 to the 44th power.

Pole: Represents 10 to the 48th power.

Remark:

(1) The numerical results listed above are calculated by the median method, not the superordinate method.

(2) Dear Taoist friends, the number "pole" is also created by our Chinese wisdom sages and ancients, but the number "pole" cannot be found in ancient books, because the first ten digits are enough. This opinion comes from Baidu Encyclopedia.

2. The number is very large, generally we use scientific notation to represent, such as 90500000000000, we can use 9.05×10^12 to represent, and what does it mean? Literally, the decimal point after 9 in the number 9.05 is moved to the right by 12 places.

3. The "Five Classics of Arithmetic" in the Northern Zhou Dynasty also recorded: according to the Yellow Emperor, there are tens. And its use, there are three things.

The tenth-class ones are called "billion, trillion, jing, yi, zi, sui, ditch, stream, zheng, and load". The third-class ones are also called "upper, middle, and lower".

If you count the following, ten will change. If it is said that 100 trillion is 100 million, 1 trillion is said to be trillion, and 10 trillion is said to be Beijing.

The middle number is ever-changing. If it is said that ten thousand are said to be billions, trillions are said to be trillions, and ten thousand trillions are said to be Beijing.

Those who count up, and those who count poorly, change. If it is said that tens of thousands of billions are called billions, billions of dollars are said to be trillions, and trillions are said to be Beijing.

Author's Note:

The wisdom of my Chinese sages is endless, but it is a pity that people today do not see the ancient times and months, and this month has been according to the ancients. There are a small number of descendants who do not want to forge ahead, and they rashly add ancient Indian counting to the ancient Chinese counting method, which is not suitable for my Chinese folk use. Please refer to Baidu Encyclopedia for details.

The counting method established by my Chinese predecessors and sages is enough to use, and there is no need for the same counting method from outsiders. However, if it is used to describe the vastness of the macrocosmic universe of reality, there are still shortcomings, so I have added a few more counting words privately.

1. The order is as follows, from smallest to largest:

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and nine are called numbers.

However, the increments are as follows:

One, ten, hundred, thousand, thousand, billion, trillion, jing, gai, zi, sang, ditch, stream, positive, load, pole, return, to, point, immeasurable.

The last four digits were added by the author for the convenience of use, and there are a total of 20 counting digits, that is, 20 counting words.

Note that the number "pole" in it is also original by our ancient Chinese sages and predecessors, but it is not often used, and it is generally not found in ancient books.

According to the cognition of the ancestors of Chinese wisdom, when the number reaches this level, it is already infinite or equivalent to the number of Great Yan.

2. The details are as follows:

1. It is calculated by using the "superordinate method" to calculate the poor and variable, that is, using the self-multiplication system to calculate, and then using the modern scientific notation method to express. It is as follows:

pcs: represents 10 to the power of 0.

Ten: represents 10 to the 1st power.

Hundred: represents 10 to the 2nd power.

Qian: It represents 10 to the 3rd power.

Wan: It represents 10 to the 4th power.

100 million: represents 10 to the 8th power.

Mega: Represents 10 to the 16th power.

Jing: It represents 10 to the 32nd power.

Yuan: It represents 10 to the 64th power.

Zi: It represents 10 to the 128th power.

穰: It represents 10 to the 256th power.

Groove: represents 10 to the power of 512.

Stream: It represents 10 to the power of 1024.

Positive: represents 10 to the 2048th power.

Contained: represents 10 to the power of 4096.

Pole: Represents 10 to the power of 8192.

Return: represents 10 to the power of 16384.

To: represents 10 to the power of 32768.

Dots: Represent 10 to the power of 65536.

Immeasurable: To put it simply, the fastest speed in the universe is the speed of human thought, and the transmission and propagation distance of human thought is infinite and immeasurable, that is, the number of great rays.

2. It is calculated by using the "median method", that is, if it is used more than 10,000, it is calculated, and then expressed by modern scientific notation. It is as follows:

pcs: represents 10 to the power of 0.

Ten: represents 10 to the 1st power.

Hundred: represents 10 to the 2nd power.

Qian: It represents 10 to the 3rd power.

Wan: It represents 10 to the 4th power.

100 million: represents 10 to the 8th power.

Mega: Represents 10 to the 12th power.

Jing: It represents 10 to the 16th power.

Yuan: It represents 10 to the 20th power.

Zi: It represents 10 to the 24th power.

穰: It represents 10 to the 28th power.

Groove: represents 10 to the 32nd power.

Stream: represents 10 to the 36th power.

Positive: represents 10 to the 40th power.

Contain: represents 10 to the 44th power.

Pole: Represents 10 to the 48th power.

Return: represents 10 to the 52nd power.

To: represents 10 to the 56th power.

Dot: represents 10 to the 60th power.

Immeasurable: In fact, at the level of "Beijing", ordinary people can no longer use it, and the number of immeasurable levels can actually be described by the word Da Yanzhi, that is, the infinite number.

3. Actually, I think that the decimal point in the back is no longer meaningful after it reaches dozens or more than 100 places, and that kind of number is already a little pale and weak when described by numbers. And those who use it to teach the Tao in our people generally use the "median method" to calculate the number of various things.

Fourth, because I want to use it to describe the macrocosmic universe of reality, the infinite, boundless, and unknowingly far-reaching cosmic space distance, as well as the great mana of the saint realm, I directly use the superior method of "the number is exhausted and the number changes", that is, the self-multiplication system, to calculate the distance of the great universe and the great mana of the saint realm and above. This may seem more intuitive, because most people generally like and are used to thinking about things that can be expressed intuitively.
