Which is bigger, the liter or the bucket?

A barrel is bigger than a liter, and a barrel is equal to ten liters.

China ancient measurement method is extremely accurate, and it is a decimal. Conversion among stones, buckets, liters and combinations: one stone equals ten buckets, one bucket equals ten liters, and one liter equals ten combinations.

It's like the most common thing in our daily life. One meter is equal to ten meters, and one hundred centimeters is equal to one thousand millimeters, but this meter, decimeter, centimeter and millimeter are units of length, and this stone, bucket, liter and combination is only unit of volume.

Unit of volume such as "stone, barrel, liter and combination" is used to measure the volume of solid particles such as rice or wheat. Generally speaking, because there were fewer scales in rural areas at that time, there were even fewer scales or ground scales, and food was a commodity, so it was more troublesome to weigh a lot, so it was more convenient to measure it by volume.

Capacity equipment

Bucket and liter are one of the ancient volumetric devices, which are mainly used to weigh grain. In ancient times, unit of volume used to weigh rice, wheat and other grains was divided into four types according to the order of size: stone, bucket, ascending and closing. The most commonly used are buckets and liters, and stones and combinations are too big and too small to be used.

Buckets and elevators are generally made of wood. The upper part and bottom are square, the bottom is closed, the upper part is open, and the side appearance is isosceles trapezoid. As the saying goes, it is called Fang Dou and Fang Sheng.

In some places, buckets are made of bamboo sticks or wicker. The top and bottom are round, the bottom is closed, the top is open, and the side is a round barrel with a big top and a small bottom. As the saying goes, make a scene.

No matter what material it is made of, the difference between a bucket and a liter is mainly size and capacity. In daily life, the ancients often borrowed grain to sell it. Generally speaking, they use buckets and liters instead of weighing.
