How to convert the weight

One kilogram = 500g, one kilogram =1000g;

One pound is 453.6 grams.

Hongkong, Macau, Taiwan Province, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam and other places continue to use the old system, about 600 grams a catty.

Cross conversion: 1 kg ≈2.2 lbs.

Extended data:

The ancient copper coin system had a great influence on the weight system, as evidenced by the restructuring in the Song Dynasty. Another example is Qin Banliang, Han Wudi Zhu, Tang (Song and Ming) coins, and standard copper coins can be used as weights.

However, bad money circulated in all previous dynasties, and it was difficult to ban the phenomenon of short weight, which led to the actual weight value falling again and again on the basis of the standard value of 256 grams per catty in Qin and Han Dynasties and 640 grams per catty in Sui and Tang Dynasties.

The results show that the standard values of a kilo in the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Wei and Jin Dynasties were 224 grams and 14 grams, while those in the Southern Song Dynasty and the Ming and Qing Dynasties were 600 grams and 37.5 grams, which decreased by 2 grams and 2.5 grams respectively.

Brief introduction to the conversion of ancient and modern weights and measures;

Western Han Dynasty, 258.24 grams per catty; Eastern Han Dynasty, 222.73 grams per catty; Wei Jinjin, 222.73 grams; Nanqi per catty, 334.10g; Liang and Chen weigh 222.73 grams per catty; Northern Wei Dynasty, 222.73 grams per catty; Eastern Wei, 445.46 grams per catty; Beiqi is 445.46 grams per catty; North Zhou Jin, 250.66 grams; Sui Dynasty, 668.19g per catty; Tang dynasty, 596.82 grams per catty.

From the beginning of the concept of "gold" to the end of the Republic of China, the "gold" in past dynasties was 16, not today's 10. With the weight of "Jin", it is easy to calculate the weight of "two" and divide it by 16.

Message 2:

After the unified measurement of Qin and he, it is embodied in the five-power system: namely, baht, two, gold, jun and stone, not decimal.
