That's 37.5 grams. One or two ounces of gold is one or two ounces of gold in Chinese mainland, so one or two ounces of gold equals 50 grams. But in neighboring countries and regions, the concept of gold is different in different places. So, how many grams of gold do they have? "Gold" transaction in Hong Kong market: one sixteenth of Sima Jin, about 37.8 grams. In precious metal trading, the use of "Terroy" is 37.429 grams. Bazaar in Singapore: a pair of 1 13 ounces, equal to one sixteenth of a catty, or 37.7994 grams.

1. There were many monetary units in ancient China, which were different in each dynasty, especially before Qin and Han Dynasties. Only three basic units are discussed here:
A penny (that is, a standard square hole copper coin) is one or two pieces of silver and one or two pieces of gold.
Although the above-mentioned units are different in different dynasties and generations, at least there is little difference after the Tang and Song Dynasties, so relatively stable and reliable data can be obtained. The exchange ratio between copper coins, silver and gold, just like the current foreign exchange price, is constantly changing, unlike 1 yuan is equal to 100.
Because money made of gold, silver and copper is valuable in itself, theoretically the value of money should be equal to the price of metal. In ancient times, although the weight units of "two" were different, they were all about 40 grams, while "Jin" was about 700 grams. Many historical monographs directly measure monetary relations through food prices. Although considering food prices alone is not accurate and objective, it should be an extremely important reference.
2. Erzuo _, a traditional quality unit in East Asia, appeared in China before the Han Dynasty, and later spread to Japan, Korean Peninsula, Vietnam and other places. The actual quality is worse from generation to generation, and it has also changed since it was spread to various places. The traditional 1 kg is equal to 16, hence the idiom "half a catty is eight liang". The ancient silver coins in China need to be appraised and weighed to determine their value. Generally, the unit of mass when weighing is "two". Chinese mainland: 1959, the State Council, People's Republic of China (PRC) issued an order on the unified measurement system, which changed from the original city system (city system) 1 (city) Jin inherited during the Republic of China to 16 (city) Jin and now to 1 (city) Jin. This system is still in use today.
