How much did unit stone weigh in ancient times?

In the Han Dynasty, one stone weighed approximately 29.95kg.

One liang in Han Dynasty is 15.6g, one catty is 249.6g, one hundred and twenty catties per stone is 29952g, which is about 29.95kg. Therefore, one stone in the Han Dynasty weighed approximately 59.9 kilograms.

There are also many "articles" in actual use of "stone, bucket, rise, and combination". In the past, there was no written standard for the size of the bucket, and people could only imitate it. It was very arbitrary and no one restricted it. It has become natural that those who sell grain have a small fight and those who collect rent have a big fight.

Businesses often use "a scale equal to a bucket full" to indicate the standard of their business operations, and some even write slogans and post them in the store. "Big fights in, small fights out" is a common tactic of unscrupulous grain dealers, and it is also the most hated by the people.

Extended information

Shi, bucket, liter, and combination are traditional Chinese units of capacity. They are "municipal" units and are equivalent to British gallons, quarts, and pints. ; Metric liters, milliliters, etc. Since my country implemented the metric system after liberation, stone, bucket, sheng, he, etc. have faded out of daily sight. Only the idiom "The struggle to rise the small people" can still be heard frequently.

When "Shi" is used as a unit of measurement, it should be read as "dàn", not the stone of stone; when "合" is used as a unit of measurement, it should be read as "gě", not the he of cooperation. I have encountered people mispronouncing these two words many times. In February 2010, at the Baijia Forum on the International Channel, even experts pronounced the "合" of the unit of measurement as "hé", which is really regrettable.

Dan (dàn?) means to carry it on the shoulders. The number of people carrying a load is different for men, women, old and young, so it should not be confused with the unit of measurement "stone".
