Chinese Number System

Ok. The last comment by KOP got me started to look (again) for a complete list of Chinese numbers.

We all remember till wan (10 thousand) and yi (1 billion). But there are numbers in between and more than that.

Finally, I managed to find a site that listed them down. Visit here. It is very comprehensive.
It also explains the inconsistencies between ancient and modern system, and the floating point system of the Chinese.
