How many Jin is one Jin equivalent to Song Dynasty now? Water Margin, Song Wu weighs 500 Jin. . . How much is it equivalent to now?

In Song Dynasty, 640 grams per catty, one catty 16 Liang. Now 500 grams a catty, 12 ounces a catty. Therefore, one Jin in Song Dynasty is equivalent to 1.28 Jin now, and 500 Jin in Song Wu is equivalent to 640 Jin now.

The ancients liked to exaggerate and deify heroes. An adult tiger weighs 200-300 kilograms. Song Wu will soon catch up with the tiger in weight. With fists and sticks, the tiger will not be dominant. So Song Wu's weight has also been exaggerated.

The ancient copper coin system had a great influence on the weight system, as evidenced by the restructuring in the Song Dynasty.

Another example is Qin Banliang, Han Wudi Zhu, Tang (Song and Ming) coins, and standard copper coins can be used as weights. However, bad money circulated in all previous dynasties, and it was difficult to ban the phenomenon of short weight, which led to the actual weight value falling again and again on the basis of the standard value of 256 grams per catty in Qin and Han Dynasties and 640 grams per catty in Sui and Tang Dynasties.

The results show that the standard values of a kilo in the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Wei and Jin Dynasties were 224 grams and 14 grams, while those in the Southern Song Dynasty and the Ming and Qing Dynasties were 600 grams and 37.5 grams, which decreased by 2 grams and 2.5 grams respectively.

Brief introduction to the conversion of ancient and modern weights and measures;

Western Han Dynasty, 258.24 grams per catty; Eastern Han Dynasty, 222.73 grams per catty; Wei Jinjin, 222.73 grams; Nanqi per catty, 334.10g; Liang and Chen weigh 222.73 grams per catty; Northern Wei Dynasty, 222.73 grams per catty; Eastern Wei, 445.46 grams per catty; Beiqi is 445.46 grams per catty; North Zhou Jin, 250.66 grams; Sui Dynasty, 668.19g per catty; Tang dynasty, 596.82 grams per catty.

From the beginning of the concept of "gold" to the end of the Republic of China, the "gold" in past dynasties was 16, not today's 10. With the weight of "Jin", it is easy to calculate the weight of "two" and divide it by 16.

Evolution of equilibrium system:

The current system of 12 1 kg (500g, 0.5kg) began in the late 1950s and was initiated by Mr. Jiang, a native of Wenzhou at that time. After the suggestion of 12 1 kg was put forward, it quickly got the attention of the Central Administration for Industry and Commerce.

From 65438 to 0958, the Central Administration for Industry and Commerce began to carry out the comprehensive reform of weighing instruments nationwide on the basis of pilot projects in many places across the country, and 12 scales were widely used.

Subsequently, the central government awarded Jiang the certificate of "China Weighing Instrument Reform Consultant". Jiang is a pioneer of weighing instrument reform, which has historical and practical significance and is deeply loved by people.

In the spring of 2003, when Mr. Jiang died, a pair of couplets was particularly eye-catching, which read: "A catty is changed to twelve Liang, and a catty is twelve Liang. Being a man and doing accounts are the same thing. One billion people, one billion people, it's unusual to be willing to do it. " (Zhuo-yuan Jiang, the certificate winner of "China Weighing Instrument Reform Consultant" of the Central Government Affairs Bureau, was included in Jing Tang Ji and Jiangnan Shi Jing Joint Draft).
