Legend has it that there was once a grandson of a prime minister who was idle and lazy and lost all his ancestral business. He can't even eat, and he often borrows rice from others. Once, he borrowed a bag of rice and couldn't carry half of it, so he had to rest by the side of the road. At this moment, a man in rags walked in front of him. He made a good deal with that man and helped him carry rice. However, after a short walk, the man couldn't walk. He complained: "I am the grandson of the Prime Minister, so I can't raise my hand or shoulder. That's understandable. You are a poor man, how can you be so useless? " Unexpectedly, the man rolled his eyes and said, "How can you blame me? I am also the grandson of Shangshu! "

Discrimination of idioms: "Half a catty and 82 liang" and "evenly matched" both mean "regardless of high or low".

Idiom allusion: Before the Qin Dynasty in China, coins and units of measurement in different countries were not unified, and transactions between businessmen and people in different countries were not convenient. After the Qin Dynasty unified the six countries, Qin Shihuang ordered a unified survey, and Li Si was responsible for drafting documents. At that time, the standard of measurement had been basically determined, but this "scale" was still undecided, so I went to consult the first emperor. Qin Shihuang then began to write down the four characters "justice in the world".

Reese took four big characters and was puzzled. In order not to let the emperor blame him, he simply added the four-character strokes together and became a unit of "balance". One catty equals sixteen taels, so half a catty is eight taels, which is exactly the same.

It was used in China feudal society for more than 2000 years.
