What Does a Billing Representative Do?

The bill is a Chinese word, pinyin zhàng dn.

[zhàng dn]

zhàng dn bill

The following is an explanation from NetEase ^[1]

Regarding the usage of "accounts" and "accounts", Hao Mingjian, a famous linguist and editor-in-chief of "Bite the Word" said that in terms of economic activities, such as bills and payment, "accounts" should be used; and "accounts" should be used in Textile-related words, such as mosquito nets, tents. In fact, the radical radical indicates that the two-word division of the shell is an ancient currency, so the "account" uses the "shell" edge, and the "scarf" edge implies the relationship between the "account" and the fabric.

The ancients often kept the accounts on the cloth, so the daily accounts were called "accounts"; later, in order to separate them from the curtains, another "account" was created, indicating that it was related to money. This usage has gradually become the norm. At the end of 2001, the Ministry of Education and the National Language Commission issued the First Batch of Arrangements for Alien Words, which clarified the division of labor between accounts and accounts and required the standardized usage of accounts. In the "Rules for Identifying Quality Errors in Book Editing", as amended by the National Language Commission, it is clearly stated that "owing accounts" and "account books" are misuses.

However, before the reform and opening up, the country once abolished the "account" and attributed its function to the "account" in a simplified Chinese character reform plan. The plan also recognizes the words "chicken" and "beer beer". By the 1980s, the programme had been abolished. But this story gives a certain social basis for the use of "bills."

After the separation of "accounts" and "accounts" in the 1980s, the National Language Commission first required banks to gradually change over. After years of efforts, commercial banks have basically used "accounts".

Under the entry of "Account" in "Modern Chinese Dictionary", there is a description of "the same account". However, Hao Mingjian said that this is just an adaptation of the "Modern Chinese Dictionary" to social habits. The Normative Dictionary does not recognize this.
