Mass / weight
Mainland: 1 shijin = 500 g = 10 shiliang; 1 shiliang = 50 g. Hong Kong: 1 HK catty = 16 HK taels ≈ 604.79 g; 1 HK tael ≈ 37.80 g. The word “liang/tael” is not the same unit in both systems.
1 dan = 50 kg. International pound = 0.45359237 kg. Taiwan catty is also 16-tael (600 g) but differs slightly from the HK catty used here.
